Daniel Bryan is on a collision course with Brock Lesnar for SummerSlam 2014. This is the headlining match we all want to see this August. Bryan's victory over Kane at Extreme Rules is likely to be the same result at Payback. Beyond that you have two more 'B level' shows with Money In The Bank and Battleground before the big SummerSlam extravaganza. Can you really picture Bryan losing the title between now and August? Not at all, he is hugely over as the biggest babyface star in the company. The next three months are simply a time for WWE to solidify Bryan's main event credentials. Awaiting Bryan at WWE's summer spectacular will be his first meaningful defence of the Championship. SummerSlam is the night Brock Lesnar comes to work. We witnessed him headline the show against Triple H in 2012 and against CM Punk in a brilliant 2013 contest. As the marquee name who sells the summer show, Lesnar needs an opponent who is white-hot babyface, he needs to face someone who is an equally big name. Bryan is that man. There had been talk of Batista vs Lesnar but that seems wholly impossible now, particularly with how Batista's year has went. The Animal is so much of a heel that he would probably end up turning The Beast face, which isn't what the company want, not when they have just invested the 'streak conqueror' heat in Lesnar. Additionally, with Guardians of the Galaxy set for a summer release, we can't even be fully sure if Batista will be working the SummerSlam show. It's going to be Bryan defending the WWE Title against Lesnar, here's why and what we can expect to happen...
