3 matches that must happen at WWE Summer Slam

SummerSlam takes place a month from now in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on August 19. It is the biggest event of the summer and the hottest story-lines during the post-Wrestlemania come to a conclusion at this event.

It will be the thirty-first edition of the event and will be held in the Barclays Center for the fourth consecutive time. It is expected to run for 6 hours or even longer, with around four hours for the main show and two hours reserved for the Kick-off show.

Expect WWE to announce a massive card with approximately ten to twelve matches in total in an attempt to give every superstar something to do on the show. After Wrestlemania underwhelmed, SummerSlam has a huge chip on its shoulder to deliver a great show. Great story-lines that lead up to great matches deliver great shows.

After last year's SummerSlam disappointed with uninteresting and stale story-lines, like Big Cass Vs Big Show and Shinsuke Nakamura Vs Jinder Mahal, this year's SummerSlam should have a better outing with greater matches and moments.

As of now, only one match has been made official,i.e Ronda Rousey Vs Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women's Championship. The WWE title match will be announced next week on SmackDown Live by Paige and the number one contender to the Universal title will be determined next week on Raw.

SummerSlam is still four weeks away, so you can expect WWE to kick-start some great story-lines en route to the mega-event. SummerSlam is a great stage for blockbuster dream matches and I will be listing three matches that I believe will be perfect for a big stage like SummerSlam.

3 - Brock Lesnar (c) Vs Bobby Lashley

Next Universal Champ?

Bobby Lashley is arguably the best option to dethrone Brock Lesnar at the moment. As he claims, he has 'legit tools' to beat Brock Lesnar. Lashley and Lesnar have similar career backgrounds.

Lashley is one of the few athletes who can believably challenge and defeat Lesnar. Some might argue that Lashley's promo skills are horrendous, but Lashley was never meant to be a talker, he is just like Lesnar who lets his actions speak for him.

There's no other option that fans would accept right now. Fans are sick of Roman Reigns being shoved down their throats. Seth Rollins and Finn Balor are out of Universal title contention and Braun Strowman is 'Mr.Money (Monster) in the Bank.'

Many fans speculated that Lashley was brought back to defeat Lesnar. Lashley Vs Lesnar is a massive dream match for hardcore wrestling fans.

2 - Becky Lynch (c) Vs Charlotte for the SmackDown Women's Championship

Becky Lynch is on a winning streak lately and has gained a lot of momentum. She is scheduled to face Carmella next week on SmackDown Live. Fans are tired of Carmella's reign as champion and it's time to take the title off her for the sake of the women's division. Lynch is the perfect candidate to dethrone her right now.

Lynch was the inaugural SmackDown women's champion and deserves another reign at the top of the SmackDown women's division. Charlotte, if medically cleared, is expected to be back in time for SummerSlam. Charlotte Vs Becky Lynch is the best match the SmackDown women's division has to offer right now. The match has the potential to see the show and it would make for a cool moment to watch two best friends fighing out for the women's title.

What else could happen? Asuka's aura and character has diminished and Naomi needs to gain a little more momentum before challenging for the title. Charlotte and Becky are the best options available right now.

1 - AJ Styles (c) Vs Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Paige will announce the number one contender to the WWE title next week on SmackDown Live. Let's hope that it's Samoa Joe. Joe is the best candidate available to the WWE champion right now and Joe Vs Styles is a dream match for any fan who's watched TNA and WWE.

Joe and Styles defined TNA in the past, their matches were just too good. Hardcore fans want to see these two world-class athletes create some magic in a WWE ring. Joe hasn't won gold on the main roster, this feud should change that. Joe hasn't done much of note since jumping over to SmackDown Live. A feud with Styles should give him a great boost.

Styles and Joe are two of the best in WWE right now and putting them in the same ring would guarantee an instant classic. This match should main-event SummerSlam and has the capability of stealing the show.
