Summerslam is just one month away from us. It is the second biggest event of the year on which WWE puts a great emphasis on.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York will be the host to it. It is needless to say that numerous big matches will take place in this arena for the fourth consecutive year. But before that, we still have to go through another PPV event stored on this Sunday Night.
Extreme Rules is the next PPV event which is also the last one before Summerslam. WWE Raw and Smackdown have finalised the match card of the PPV event this week. A number of the matches became official courtesy of the ongoing storyline angles. Seven championships will be on the line including the WWE Championship.
Smackdown had confirmed the main event match from their side a few weeks ago. AJ Styles is still the reigning title-holder of the show. Rusev has become the new number one contender for the WWE Championship by winning a Gauntlet match. It is a fresh rivalry on the show. Plus, WWE fans are quite happy to see Rusev getting an opportunity to the prime title present on the brand.
As much as they would like to see the Bulgarian Brute to win the title, it is not going to happen any time soon. The current reports from the internet suggest the same. It looks like that the plans for Summerslam is ready and it still features AJ Styles, as the WWE Champion. It means he will not drop the title to Rusev at Extreme Rules.
An advertisement for Summerslam 2018 is doing rounds on the internet which features AJ Styles and Samoa Joe. The latter one will be the next challenger for the WWE title to set up a dream match for us. Fans have anticipated getting this match between the two former Impact Wrestling world champions for a long time. The biggest event of the summer is likely to deliver this.

Subsequently, the very next PPV event Hell in a Cell is also advertising another bout between these two inside that steel cage structure. It means that the Summerslam rematch will take place with an added stipulation.
We can’t wait to see a full-fledged feud between these two over the summer. Meanwhile, Rusev will have to wait for more to capture his maiden WWE title.
