#1. Backstage news on WWE SummerSlam statuses of Brock Lesnar and Edge

WWE SummerSlam 2021 is set to take place in Las Vegas in August, and the company is expected to pull out all the stops for the show.

However, as per Mat Men's Adrian Zarian, Brock Lesnar is not scheduled to be on the Summerslam card. Dave Meltzer additionally reported that the rumored Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley match is also off the books:

"There have been rumors about Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar, but as of one week ago, that was not happening, even though Lashley has wanted that match. Lesnar's name was definitely talked about for the show by some, but it was said that it doesn't look like it will work out," said Dave Meltzer.

Meltzer also provided an update on Edge's return, with all roads leading to the Rated-R Superstar wrestling at WWE SummerSlam. Jon Alba stated that Edge could be back as a babyface:

"Since Edge is billed to return on the Houston Smackdown, and there is talk about bringing back big names, him wrestling at SummerSlam seems to add up," Meltzer noted.

Reported on @theLTGpodcast Patreon this week Edge is currently penciled in for the SummerSlam card as a babyface on the Smackdown side. Seems to give credence to that. https://t.co/mg38CPSn3v
