WWE's next pay-per-view event, SummerSlam 2019, is only a few days away and it's shaping up to be a must-watch event. There's a lot to look forward to this Sunday as The Biggest Party of the Summer will showcase some of WWE's biggest stars and new champions will be crowned, feuds will be settled and several surprises could be in store.

The card is stacked, as The Icon Goldberg will make his in-ring return to take on Dolph Ziggler, Bayley will take on Ember Moon for the SmackDown Women's Championship and Ricochet will try to dethrone AJ Styles.

Kevin Owens will put his career on the line when he battles the self-proclaimed 'Best in the World' Shane McMahon, The Man Becky Lynch will defend her Raw Women's Championship against Natalya, Randy Orton will try to capture the WWE Championship from his old adversary Kofi Kingston while Seth Rollins will board a first-class flight to Suplex City in order to regain his Universal Championship.

The Big Dog Roman Reigns will seek retribution from his mystery attacker Erick Rowan and all hell will break loose.

WWE is known for their odd booking decisions that leave fans disappointed, and in order for SummerSlam to live up to expectations and be an entertaining show, here are the four big mistakes that WWE must not make at the PPV.

#5 Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar main eventing the show

This match should not headline The Biggest Party of the Summer. Here's why...

Seth Rollins will take on The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. This will actually be the fifth time that these two will battle for a world title.

The first time was during the triple threat match for the WWE title at Royal Rumble, also involving John Cena, the second time was at WrestleMania 31 when Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract by pinning Reigns to capture the WWE Championship.

Rollins and Lesnar went on to have two more matches which took place at Battleground and the latest one was at WrestleMania 35 this year. We already saw these two battle it out this year and both Rollins and Lesnar's reign as Universal Champion was quite disappointing.

The Beastslayer didn't have any worthy opponents (except AJ Styles) and his run was underwhelming before he lost the title to Lesnar at Extreme Rules. There are several other interesting matches on the card that should headline SummerSlam but this match should not. It was the opening match of WrestleMania and certainly must not close out SummerSlam.

#4 Goldberg vs Dolph Ziggler going over 2 minutes

The Icon vs The Show-off

WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg will face The Show-off Dolph Ziggler at the Biggest Party of the Summer this Sunday. This will be Goldberg's first match since losing to The Undertaker at WWE Super ShowDown. Ziggler was name-dropping Goldberg for a while and after attacking Shawn Michaels and The Miz on Raw two weeks ago, last week WWE announced that Ziggler would face The Miz on Sunday.

This Monday night on Raw, however, it was revealed that The Showoff would not be facing The Miz, and his opponent was revealed to be none other than Goldberg. The Legend made his WWE return in 2016 where he squashed Brock Lesnar. His matches are known for being very short, and that's how it should be this Sunday.

At Super ShowDown, Goldberg faced The Undertaker in a match that was billed as a dream match. The match was a complete mess as it went for too long. If The Undertaker pinned Goldberg after he hit The Tombstone, none of this would've happened. That's why Goldberg vs Ziggler must not go over for more than two minutes.

#3 Kofi Kingston retaining the WWE Championship

It's time for Kingston to drop the WWE Championship

Kofi Kingston has been WWE Champion since winning the title at WrestleMania 35 this year. He has defended it against several Superstars but this Sunday, he will face his toughest opponent yet when he defends his title against The Viper Randy Orton. Kofi has been champion for a while and it was good while it lasted but now it's time for him to drop it to Orton and move on to other things.

Besides, Kingston wasn't originally supposed to become WWE Champion in the first place. With the blue brand moving to FOX in the fall, WWE needs a bigger star to carry the company's top prize and Randy fits perfectly as that big star. No matter what, WWE must not make the mistake of booking Kofi to retain the WWE title at SummerSlam.

#2 Seth Rollins winning the Universal Championship

Seth Rollins must not win the Universal Championship

At the beginning, we dealt with Seth Rollins facing Brock Lesnar for the fifth time this Sunday and why their match shouldn't headline the event. This time, we explore why Rollins should not recapture the Universal Championship from Brock Lesnar.

The Beast surprised all of us when he unexpectedly showed up at the Money in the Bank PPV and won the briefcase. He tried cashing-in the contract several times on Rollins but failed.

After Rollins retained his and Becky's titles by pinning Corbin at Extreme Rules, Lesnar showed up, hit The Beastslayer with an F5 and walked away with the Big Red Belt. Rollins' title reign was underwhelming and he isn't a draw, unlike Lesnar. The Beast is one of WWE's biggest stars and he should retain the title this Sunday. He should then go on to drop it at WrestleMania 36 where he is rumored to wrestle his final match.

#1 Roman Reigns facing Erick Rowan

This match must not happen

This week on SmackDown Live, Roman Reigns and all of us finally found out who was responsible for what happened to Reigns on SmackDown last week. Buddy Murphy, who was on the scene of the incident, revealed that person was none other than Erick Rowan. Some fans were disappointed because they wanted Buddy Murphy to be revealed as the suspect which would lead to Reigns facing Murphy at SummerSlam.

However, WWE left fans disappointed as Erick Rowan, of all people, turned out to be the suspect. Literally no one is interested in a Roman Reigns vs Erick Rowan feud/match and perhaps it should've been Daniel Bryan instead.

Since Erick Rowan has been revealed as the man behind the forklift incident, this must not lead up to a match between him and Reigns this Sunday.
