5 WWE Rumors from this week you need to know (July 8th 2019)

#2 The Deadman has his pick for Summerslam

The Deadman reportedly requested to face Drew McIntyre at Summerslam.

For nearly 30 years now, the Demon of Death Valley has faced some of wrestling biggest stars, from Hulk Hogan to Steve Austin to John Cena, and according to reports, now has a new target for the Summerslam.

Local ads in Toronto where the show will be held at the Scotiabank Arena are claiming that The Undertaker will face Drew McIntyre at Summerslam, in what is sure to be a huge match.

The pair are already set to face off in tag team action this Sunday at Extreme Rules, as the Phenom will team with Roman Reigns to face McIntyre and Shane McMahon.

Dave Meltzer recently reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Undertaker personally requested to work with the Scottish Psychopath earlier this year, as the Deadman continues to have more matches in 2019, despite not appearing at WrestleMania.

Since returning to the main roster in 2018, McIntyre has been one of RAW's most influential stars, and a win over the Deadman at Summerslam would definitely help elevate the Scottish Superstar into the hunt for the Universal title.
