Despite returning to defeat Bray Wyatt at this year’s Showcase of the Immortals, the Phenom had unfinished business with Paul Heyman’s most famous client, and returned at Battleground to vanquish Lesnar and ruin his chances of regaining the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from Seth Rollins that he lost at Wrestlemania 31.

Also, how does WWE plan to top the memorable pull-apart brawl the two men had last time they were in the same building?
Brock Lesnar had the WWE Heavyweight Championship snatched away from him when he attacked the Undertaker after the latter went after Paul Heyman inside the ring. Emanating live from a sold-out Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, SummerSlam will feature WWE Superstars Undertaker and Brock Lesnar in a rematch of their historic WrestleMania 30 bout where Lesnar ended Undertaker’s undefeated streak. This was THE match-up that made SummerSlam turn into one of the biggest sporting events on the globe, and it took place at Wembley Stadium in the United Kingdom!
There was a lot of speculation earlier this month that Sting would be involved in the storyline, but the WWE has seemingly dropped that idea.
The Big Show has been a major player in the WWE through three different decades.
Next, Ryback will defend his Intercontinental title against The Big Show and The Miz in a Triple threat match-up. Who will gain the most momentum heading into the three-way battle? Amell is not rumored to appear this week after mixing it up seven nights ago.
The Divas Revolution is also sure to continue as Nikki Bella reaches Day 267 as Divas Champion and Paige will look to make a splash on her 23rd birthday.
This year SummerSlam has been extended to a four-hour broadcast plus a one-hour pre-show beginning at 6pm ET on WWE Network.
