Summerslam is the next big event in WWE calendar that is waiting for us on the WWE Network in the next month. It is one of WWE’s ‘big four’ pay-per-views along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series. This year, the show will take place on August 11th, 2019 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The main event of the night will feature Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship. It means for two consecutive years, a Wrestlemania match will be headlining the show. Alongside this, Becky Lynch will take on Natalya for WWE Raw women’s championship. With three more weeks to go for the biggest event of the summer, WWE will be up to locking in a series of big matches to make Summerslam a successful show.

Big Update On Daniel Bryan Suffering From Another Injury?
Breaking: WWE Accidentally Reveals Winner Of Summerslam 2019 Main Event
The matches in the pipeline for Summerslam must start with the headlining rivalry on Smackdown between Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon. As per the Prizefighter, Shane has been featuring in marquee feuds of the company for the last few months consuming spotlights from young talents. So it seems logical that he will put over Owens in a match at Summerslam to finally go into a hiatus. It will also allow for Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff to take things over on WWE programming.
AJ Styles defeated Ricochet to become the new United States champion at Extreme Rules 2019. This solidified the heel turn of the Phenomenal One as he reunited The Club again. Their angle with Ricochet did not seem to be over as they beat up the high-flier on Raw even after the title win. So it’s a no-brainer that WWE must book these two at Summerslam to put an end to the feud.
The WWE Championship match should be an interesting one as we re-visit a decade-long rivalry. Randy Orton has pinned Kofi Kingston on this past Smackdown to earn a championship opportunity. So it’s just a matter of time that WWE also confirms this match at Summerslam, next week, perhaps. It will be an interesting feud to watch out for as Orton was the one who stopped Kofi’s push more than ten years ago. It’ll now be a payback time for the high-flier.
Last but not least, Bray Wyatt is under speculation to make his in-ring return at Summerslam 2019. Over on this week’s Raw, he attacked Finn Balor out of nowhere hitting him with a Sister Abigail. Reports suggest that Balor will put Wyatt over at Summerslam before heading into a hiatus. So, WWE must be re-booking another past feud from 2017 in the coming weeks to culminate on August 11th.
