WWE Extreme Rules 2019: 5 reasons why Finn Bálor lost the Intercontinental Championship to Shinsuke Nakamura 

#4. Finn Bálor vs Shinsuke Nakamura at SummerSlam

Shinsuke Nakamura could be forced to defend at SummerSlam

SummerSlam is right around the corner, and it's a shock that WWE has added this match to the card at Extreme Rules. It could have easily been extended over the next few weeks so that they could have the match they deserve at SummerSlam.

The only real story WWE knows how to tell is when a Champion loses their title, so now Bálor can get his re-match and face Nakamura at SummerSlam as well. AJ Styles and Nakamura had a feud a few years back that many expected to set the world alight, but it was too much and ruined Nakamura's move to the main roster. WWE could be hoping his feud with Bálor will make amends for this and the two men could be given a much better position on the card in August.
