WWE SummerSlam 2016: 6 Big Matches That Must Happen (And How To Book Them)
The biggest matches that need to take place at this year's SummerSlam!
With WrestleMania 32 behind us, wrestling fans have their eyes set on the second biggest WWE event of the year, SummerSlam! Which big names will be returning to WWE TV, ready to compete at the PPV? Will there be anymore NXT talents showing up on RAW? What Championship matches will be taking place at this year's event?
With SummerSlam a little over three months away, there still doesn't seem to be any set plans or matches for the event. By this time, we usually have an idea of the general direction that Vince McMahon and WWE are heading in.
SummerSlam week is a very big one for WWE, and it rivals WrestleMania week in terms of media and fan interaction. In the last few years, WWE have held fan Axxess events as well as charity events leading up to SummerSlam. Last year they presented the NXT Takeover: Brooklyn special the Saturday night prior to the PPV on Sunday, and it marked the first time NXT was on the road and away from the Full Sail crowd.
With all that being said, there is no doubt that this SummerSlam needs to be big. They need to continue to move into this "New Era" they are incessantly telling us they're in, and focus on these new talents that are being given a chance to shine now.
The following storylines and feuds should be the focus of WWE TV in the coming weeks/months and should set up these top 6 matches for SummerSlam in Brooklyn.
6. Women's Championship Fatal Four Way: Charlotte Vs. Becky Lynch Vs. Sasha Banks Vs. Bayley
We are seeing the beginning stages of what fans will look back at and refer to as the Women's Wrestling Revolution. Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch are the foundation to this revolution.
Current Women's Champion Charlotte will hold the title through SummerSlam, and become a top heel. She'll continue to win by cheating, whether it be through the help of Ric Flair, referees like Charles Robinson, or perhaps aligning herself with other heels like Emma or Summer Rae.
Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch will continue to chase after that title, and will eventually get help from former NXT Women's Champion Bayley. After dropping the NXT Women's Title in Dallas a few weeks back, look for Bayley to get the call up to the main roster soon. She's more than due it.
Let the "Four Horsewomen" of NXT do what they do best in that ring. In this Fatal Four Way, look for Sasha Banks, who WWE are very high on, to become the new champ, and of course Charlotte will still look strong in defeat as she will not get pinned to lose the belt.
It was just a year ago that Sasha Banks and Bayley were the co-main event of the NXT Takeover special in Brooklyn. Now they have the chance to be a part of a big match at this year's SummerSlam.
