4 Matches that should happen at Summerslam 2018

With SummerSlam approaching fast and the WWE Universe have started to shift their interest to the match card for the biggest party of the Summer. WWE have been pretty dull for the past four months or so, but now they'll start focusing on building new storylines which can easily steal the show.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

In the next two weeks, we'll get the idea of what matches are going to happen at Brooklyn. But as we know that there are several Superstars who have no sense of direction at the moment. Take John Cena for instance. We haven't seen the Franchise Player since 'The Greatest Royal Rumble' event in April. But it is highly unlikely that Cena will miss the biggest party of the Summer.

SummerSlam is an event which always brings some delight that the company will cherish for the rest of the year. New storylines, fresh faces and great matches. Some of the biggest names will be there at the PPV. SummerSlam is the show that starts all the major feuds that continue until the WrestleMania season.

WWE have not been that interesting, post-Wrestlemania. Therefore they will now look to capitalise on the upcoming PPV. SummerSlam is the second biggest PPV of the year, so let's take a look at five matches that should happen this year.

#4 The Bludgeon Brothers vs The Bar for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships

The Bar vs The Bludgeon brothers should be the ideal match for Summerslam

Since WrestleMania this year, The Bludgeon Brothers have been unstoppable. They've also been cutting some seriously good promos. They have recently registered their biggest victory on the main roster when they defeated Team Hell No at the Extreme Rules PPV.

Now the SmackDown General manager, Paige has announced a four tag team tournament on Smackdown live and the winner will face the Bludgeon Brothers for the Tag Team Championships.

A victory for 'The Bar' will make sense. The Bludgeon Brothers have destroyed everyone in their path and The Bar has not been involved in any kind of feud since the draft. So these two teams can continue their feud and also put up a decent fight at the SummerSlam PPV.

#3 John Cena vs The Undertaker

This is one of the most anticipated matches of this era

The last time Cena and Taker faced off against each other was at WrestleMania earlier this year. Cena challenged The Undertaker for a match at WrestleMania, but the Phenom did not respond for weeks on end. Consequently, Cena went to the 34th WrestleMania as a member of the audience instead.

During the PPV, Cena was called backstage, and he came out thinking that he'll face The Undertaker, but Elias came out to insult him instead. After a confrontation with Elias, Cena was leaving when the Undertaker finally made his appearance.

Cena lost to The Undertaker, after getting hit by the Tombstone Piledriver. The loss came as a shock to many, as it gave rise to speculation that there could be a future rematch. The fact that the Undertaker just squashed 'The Franchise Player' made everyone think that there is a possibility.

As of now, we have not seen Cena or Taker since 'The Greatest Royal Rumble' event. Although Taker did appear on a live show in the MSG. And the rumours are completely unprecedented. The next few weeks will help the audience to see if there is any truth to the rumours. Some fans even speculated that there could be a 'No Holds Barred match' at SummerSlam.

#2 Randy Orton vs Jeff Hardy in a No disqualification match

This match could very well be the best match of the night

If anybody doesn't know what happened at Extreme Rules, let me tell you Randy Orton returned and attacked Jeff Hardy. At the moment, Orton is a sadistic heel, which means he can do anything to win a match. That's why it should be a no disqualification match.

The feud between the two veterans will be great to watch. Orton has played this heel role for so many times but the fans seem to accept him only in this character. Orton and Jeff go way-way back when Randy was a ruthless heel.

Also, we will see high-quality match. The Viper is strong, aggressive and bold with his moves while Jeff is high flying and always tries to bring something now on the table. Just compare Randy Orton vs Jeff Hardy to any other current feud in the WWE, you'll find the difference.

#1 Daniel Bryan vs The Miz

It's about time these two met inside the ring

Daniel Bryan hasn't been involved in any big storyline since his return to in-ring action. He was booked in a boring feud against Big Cass and then he moved onto a match with The Bludgeon Brothers. These are all short-term feuds. What Bryan needs is a great storyline which can get him back onto the top of the WWE once again.

On the other hand, The Miz hasn't been doing anything productive either since moving to Smackdown Live. He participated the Money in the Bank ladder match but failed, eventually.

This match has the potential to steal the show at SummerSlam and WWE would make a big mistake if these two don't face each other at the biggest party of the summer. Furthermore, a feud between Bryan and Miz would surely boost up the ratings.

Also, the rumours suggest that Daniel Bryan has not signed a new deal with the WWE. Summerslam could very well be his last PPV. This is a perfect opportunity for the WWE to put these two men against each other and settle their feud once and for all.
