#7. Jon Moxley to face a former WWE Superstar
Dean Ambrose, now known as Jon Moxley, is quite possibly the busiest man in pro wrestling these days after Vince McMahon. The former WWE Champion is everywhere - NJPW, AEW, the indie circuit - you name it and Mox will be on top of the card. Moxley is truly relishing the freedom since leaving Vince McMahon's company and he is all set to face a popular former WWE Superstar, Big Cass.

Big Cass, who now goes by the name Caz XL, will take on Moxley in a singles match for Northeast Wrestling's (NEW) Wrestling Under The Stars Event. The show will take place at the Dodd Stadium in Norwich, CT on August 17th, and the match between the two ex-WWE talents will be the main event.
The seeds for the match were planted back in June when Moxley showed up at a Northeast Wrestling show after Cass and Enzo Amore put forth an open challenge. For what it's worth, Renee Young will also be at the NEW event for autograph signing sessions.
#8. SummerSlam match card
WWE's biggest show of the Summer, SummerSlam is slated to go on floors on August 11th at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and it would be a safe prediction to expect a lengthy show. Be prepared for a minimum of 6 hours of wrestling.

- Becky Lynch (c) vs. Natalya (WWE Raw Women's Championship)
- Bayley (c) vs. Ember Moon (WWE SmackDown Women's Championship)

The booking trends point to the following matches to be added to the card in the coming weeks:
- Charlotte Flair vs. Trish Stratus
