As per the latest reports that are making rounds, Intercontinental champion Curtis Axel will not be featuring in the SummerSlam PPV. He is most likely to be added to the pre-show depending on the decision of the WWE.
Axel has been very impressive since his WWE return under the Curtis Axel moniker. It is left to be seen what plans the WWE have in store for him.
Speaking of returns, The Big Show did not make an appearance as scheduled last week on RAW as he was not medically cleared to compete.
However, plans for the handicap match featuring Big Show and Mark Henry taking on The Shield for SummerSlam still hold good. A match has been booked for SummerSlam with Big Show scheduled to make an appearance on the upcoming RAW.
