This match has gone from the underhyped Extreme Rules rematch to the most anticipated match of the night in the space of a week. Unless you're living under a rock, you'll be well aware that Dean Ambrose made his return to WWE on Monday Night and pledged to be in his former teammate's corner for his Intercontinental Championship rematch this weekend.

Dolph Ziggler will also have The Scottish Psychopath Drew McIntyre in his corner, which adds to the combustible elements in this match. Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler have been embroiled in a feud for the past few months and this could be the end of their current feud but it also has the potential to be the start of a completely new path for both stars as well.


#5 Seth Rollins regains the Intercontinental Championship

Seth Rollins lost the Championship to Dolph Ziggler a few months ago and has been attempting to reclaim it ever since, but with Drew McIntyre in Ziggler's corner, it has become hard for Rollins to gain the advantage over The Showoff and his sidekick.

Now that Dean Ambrose has returned and is in Rollins' corner, the numbers game has finally been neutralized and this could be Rollins' chance to win back his Championship. The odds are definitely in his favour since Ambrose has returned much bigger and seemingly angrier than ever so he will be looking for a fight on Sunday night too.

#4 Dolph Ziggler retains the Intercontinental Championship

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre make a fantastic team and have proved time and time again that they have each other's back, so it's entirely possible that the duo can once again see off the challenge of Rollins and finally move on from this feud.

If Ziggler retains his title this weekend, then Rollins would have no claim to the title that he first lifted back at WrestleMania, which would allow Ziggler and McIntyre to push themselves into a much bigger feud heading into Hell in a Cell next month. Of course, in order for this to happen, they will have to neutralize the threat of Dean Ambrose as well as Seth Rollins this time.

#3 Drew McIntyre inadvertently costs Dolph Ziggler his title

The fact that there will be two superstars at ringside this weekend will definitely add to the combustible elements in this match so fans will be forced to watch both the inside and the outside of the ring at SummerSlam.

McIntyre and Ambrose are obviously going to brawl at some point in the match, and if they provide a distraction then this could easily be a way to tease the tension between Dolph and Drew if it is believed that he distracted him and cost him his Championship. The fact that Dolph has to keep an eye on both Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins means that there are a number of opportunities for a swerve finish in this match.

#2 Dolph Ziggler purposely gets disqualified

Dolph Ziggler has been in WWE now for more than a decade and many would argue that he is one of the smartest wrestlers that the company has. This means that Ziggler will be aware that he is walking into a hostile situation on Sunday night and as a heel, he could make the decision to purposely get himself disqualified which would then ensure that he would retain his Championship.

There is also the option that he could decide to walk out of the match and retain via countout, but with Dean Ambrose at ringside, the former is much more likely. Drew McIntyre is a force to be reckoned with, but Drew and Dolph won't want to get their hands dirty if they don't have to and a cheap disqualification would allow these four stars to collide once again at Hell in a Cell.

#1 Dean Ambrose costs Seth Rollins the Intercontinental Championship

Will Dean Ambrose extract revenge on Seth Rollins?
Will Dean Ambrose extract revenge on Seth Rollins?

There was a lot of speculation surrounding Dean Ambrose's return to WWE following his bicep injury since it was made to look as though Seth Rollins played a part in injuring his Shield teammate before Samoa Joe and The Bar attacked the duo backstage.

Ambrose has had eight months on the sidelines to calculate the best time to extract revenge on Rollins for forcing him onto the sidelines and then calling him when he needed some backup. The best way that Ambrose can gain that revenge is by costing Rollins the title when he's got the match won. It's expected that this point since Ambrose didn't return to WWE looking like a face, he looks like a man who is there to get even and Rollins could be the first name on his hit list.
