WWE SummerSlam 2014: 10 Reasons Daniel Bryan vs Brock Lesnar Will Main Event

6. All The Investment In Both Men Means They Must Be The Main Event

Brock Lesnar is on a massive WWE contract which sees him earning millions of dollars a year for just a few matches and less than 30 appearances. To get value back out of this deal, WWE must utilise Lesnar in a main event scenario, they must put him on the top billing of a card and make him the drawing factor. For SummerSlam 2014, this means Lesnar is directly headed for Daniel Bryan. The current WWE Champion is a must for the August main event due to his popularity, the company can't afford to relegate him to the midcard. WWE have invested heavily in both Brock and Bryan, putting huge creative stock into Bryan and considerable financial investment into Lesnar. The payoff from all that investment is going to be using both men to headline the biggest show of the summer, capitalising on Bryan and Lesnar's name worth. It's what every WWE main event should be, one hot character against another hot character. This results in the most compelling match possible, two big forces colliding in an explosion of interest.
