But it has closed the gap in recent years and become almost as important on the year-round wrestling calendar. Rollins is someone who has been champion for pretty much the previous year and a half, and has shown that he should always be lurking around the title picture. We’ve talked about the high expectations on Finn Balor vs. Seth Rollins and the injury risk to Randy Orton. Balor is an incredible talent and his entrance is going to spectacular, and Rollins is the most solid-hand on the roster. Rollins was forced to vacate the WWE World Championship previous year because of injury, and is primed for another lengthy title run.

But if Balor does win?
On the plus side of wrestling life, Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho calling Tom Phillips the wrong name repeatedly was great.
How engaging? On Enzo and Cass’ first night on Raw, the crowd loudly chanted along with their catchphrases.
She was scheduled to wrestle tonight so it will be interesting to see if the WWE replaces her or just cuts the match. These are two of the most recognizable faces in the company and seeing what they have in store should be a treat for the fans. Orton even had a gimmick based around the idea in his younger years, as the Legend Killer, and all Lesnar has done since arriving in WWE is tear the main event apart one piece at a time.
However, the same article also says that it could be possible for WWE to make Goldberg do more than what is now planned.
Lesnar’s expletive-filled tirade comes in response to McGregor saying, during a conference call leading up to UFC 202 in Las Vegas, he doesn’t respect the WWE or its stars due to consistent doping.
Also on the card at WWE SummerSlam 2016 will be Sasha Banks vs Charlotte, John Cena vs AJ Styles, and plenty of more big names that you won’t want to miss in action. Lesnar is too much of a commodity to be wasted on Orton.
Meanwhile, Brock Lesnar has kept himself busy fighting in the UFC. This should be a good match, but it’s one that really doesn’t matter. WWE doesn’t need to pull any shocking moves for SummerSlam to live up to the hype. Indeed, that’s been the talking point for his feud with Ambrose. Will it translate into a championship victory? The new tactic by WWE to make Reigns the #1 babyface is to turn him into US Hero Roman Reigns.
