5 superstars whose careers will be resurrected at SummerSlam 2018

Summerslam is WWE's second largest PPV of the year, second only to the Granddaddy of Them All, Wrestlemania. With the event on 18th August, Summerslam is shaping up to be a fantastic show with a number of great matches on the card.

Not everyone will make the show, however, a number of Superstars that are slated to appear at the show have also struggled in recent months, whether they have been floundering in the mid-card or have been victims of uneven booking, the business has not been as kind to them as others.

However, Summerslam is a chance for these Superstars to change things and catapult themselves up the card and surge back to greater relevance.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Some of these Superstars may already be featured in WWE programming, however, they do seem to be a step below the level at which WWE is featuring them. So without much further ado, let's check out the five Superstars whose careers will be saved at Summerslam 2018.

#5 The Bludgeon Brothers

Ever since Luke Harper and Erick Rowan got re-packaged and were introduced to the Smackdown Live audience, they have run roughshod over the tag-team division.

The duo is seemingly unbeatable and has been Smackdown Tag-Team champions for quite a while now. While Harper is great in the ring and Rowan is no slouch either, the Bludgeon Brothers haven't set Smackdown Live on fire since their debut.

They are still good in the ring, but with ill-defined characters and the lack of stellar in-ring performances, the tandem has been underwhelming so far.

That could all change at Summerslam as they defend their titles against the New Day, who has a history of pulling off fantastic matches on the biggest stages.

Expect the two teams to bring out the best in each other, as Harper and Rowan's power moves to mesh well with the skill-set of the New Day.

Regardless of whether they win or lose, Summerslam is going to be a make or break event for the Bludgeon Brothers and given their history as in-ring competitors, expect them to make it.

#4 Dolph Ziggler

Have no doubt about it, even though Dolph Ziggler is currently the Intercontinental Champion and is slated to defend his title at Summerslam, the entire angle is not about him, it's about Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre.

Ziggler has been with the company for a long time now and even though he's champion, his entire reign feels like a consolation for all the hard work he has put in over the years.

Regardless of his hit-or-miss work on the mic, Ziggler is great in the ring and assuming that Ziggler and Rollins are given enough time to work with, expect them to have the best match of the night, with Ziggler proving just why he is one of the most underrated Superstars on the WWE roster.

#3 Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch is the most underutilized out of the Four Horsewomen in WWE and has not been at the forefront of Smackdown Live's programming for a long time.

All of that has changed over the last few weeks as she became the number one contender for Carmella's Smackdown Live Women's Championship.

Becky Balboa's time in the limelight was finally coming, but things have seemingly become complicated once more with the return of Charlotte Flair.

The match for the championship is now a triple-threat, as the Lasskicker is in danger of being overshadowed by the returning Flair.

Carmella is not masterful in the ring, so expect Flair and Lynch to carry the match on their shoulders and regardless of whether Lynch wins gold or not, there is no doubt she will be front and center in Smackdown Live's programming post-Summerslam.

#2 Daniel Bryan

Will the real Daniel Bryan please stand up?

Daniel Bryan returned to in-ring competition at Wrestlemania 34 and has been great since then. However, one could not help feeling like something was missing. We have found the missing ingredient; The Miz.

Ever since his infamous rant on Talking Smack, the WWE Universe has been clamoring for the two to have a feud, but with Bryan's medical issues keeping him out of the ring, it seemed like a pipe-dream.

Things are different now. Bryan is an active in-ring performer once more, and WWE was smart to hold off on his feud with The Miz.

Bryan spent months in second gear, but he has come to life in recent weeks as his segments with The Miz are the best part of Smackdown Live and their match will undoubtedly be fantastic, bringing back the Bryan who led a revolution in WWE a few years ago.

#1 Roman Reigns

Is WWE finally getting things right with The Big Dog?

Roman Reigns has been through a lot ever since The Shield broke up. From winning the Royal Rumble to main-eventing Wrestlemania four years in a row,

The Big Dog has done it all. However, the WWE has been unsuccessful in getting fan support on Reigns' side. He has faced vitriol in arenas all over the country and has dealt with it like a consummate professional.

Over the last few weeks, WWE seems to have finally figured out the magical formula to get Reigns over.

With Lesnar reveling in his new role as an entitled heel, he turned his back on Paul Heyman which was the straw that broke the camel's back.

The live audience was actually chanting Reigns' name because they wanted him to come out and beat up Lesnar.

Reigns will go into the main event of Summerslam as the fan favorite (a position he is not in often) and will most probably de-throne Lesnar at long last unless WWE decides to throw us another curve-ball.
