WWE SummerSlam 2016: 10 Matches That Must Happen

1. WWE Championship: Dean Ambrose (C) Vs. Brock Lesnar

There's only one match left, and it's the big one. In a rematch from WrestleMania, Dean Ambrose will defend the WWE Championship against Brock Lesnar.

From a storyline perspective, it works perfectly. Brock Lesnar easily demolished Dean Ambrose at 'Mania, and now, "The Lunatic Fringe" is WWE Champion. Lesnar's proven he can beat him, and that's enough to earn him a shot. Meanwhile, Ambrose will never back down from a fight, and will be more than happy to let Brock come at him with the belt on the line.

Expect a wild brawl, filled with tons of suplexes - but at the same time, expect Ambrose to get more offense on Lesnar than most. This match could be the bout they should have had at WrestleMania - a contest that gets time and makes Ambrose look like he actually has a shot at winning. It'll be a truly exciting bout worthy of the top slot at SummerSlam.

As for who goes over, that very much depends on the finish of the Lesnar-Hunt fight. If Brock wins, let him rout Ambrose and become WWE Champion once again. If he loses, put Ambrose over and try to get "The Lunatic Fringe" something out of the bargain.
