Following last night’s RAW, we’ve got another match added to WWE SummerSlam. Former NXT Champion Finn Balor won a fatal 4-way match and pinned Roman Reigns clean to earn a shot at the RAW brand’s new Universal Championship. As of this writing, confirmed matches for SummerSlam include:
Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Orton
Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor to crown the first Universal Champion
It’s safe to say we’ll also see title defenses from Dean Ambrose, Sasha Banks and The New Day.
On RAW, Gallows and Anderson attacked The New Day, so that looks to be a new feud in the coming weeks. After Sasha Banks’ Women’s Championship win, a SummerSlam rematch for Charlotte makes a lot of sense. This match has been rumored for SummerSlam for months, which made last night’s title change even more surprising.
A rematch featuring John Cena and AJ Styles has been discussed, but that doesn’t leave many challengers to Dean Ambrose’s title. Should WWE book Styles vs. Cena, that leaves Bray Wyatt and Alberto Del Rio as potential opponents for the champion. WWE has their work cut out for them with so few main event level heels on SmackDown. We’ll see how it all shakes out, but RAW has a lot more talent to work with, including Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Enzo and Cass, Rusev and Chris Jericho.
WWE SummerSlam takes place on Sunday, August 21st from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
