1. Samoa Joe Is Booked Strongly Against Brock Lesnar

If Brock Lesnar beats Samoa Joe in 5 minutes and rolls on to SummerSlam like he's just swatted a fly, expect a riot. That won't happen, of course, but did anyone see Goldberg's domination of Brock coming last November at Survivor Series? WWE are capable of anything, especially in an era where spiking ratings and shock value mean much.

Joe doesn't need to become Universal Champion at all, but he does have to look a match for Lesnar. The build towards this pay-per-view showdown has actually been more favourable to the Samoan; he's been the one to sneak attack Brock and leave him laying more than once, not the other way around.

Although likely that Lesnar will defend his title, it's of vital importance that Joe looks like he belongs in the main event. Then, after SummerSlam (whether Brock wins or loses to Roman Reigns), this is a match WWE can come back to later this year.
