WWE SummerSlam 2019: 4 Interesting yet unfortunate realities about the PPV

#1 The Universal Championship match has been the same at SummerSlam and WrestleMania over the last two years

Lesnar has worked with the same three or four people while defending the Universal Championship.

Not to beat a dead horse, but not much has changed regarding the Universal title picture. It was refreshing to see Finn Balor get a rematch for the title he never lost, but the outcome of that match was never in doubt.

And even though Lesnar's matches against both Bryan and Styles were good, the title wasn't on the line.

When it has been up for grabs at WrestleMania and SummerSlam over the last two years, there hasn't been any variety in the matches for the belt. At both WrestleMania 34 and SummerSlam 2018, the match was Roman Reigns challenging Lesnar.

This year, it's been Seth Rollins challenging Lesnar. Do you see the pattern here? A big selling point of PPVs is different matches featuring different stars. When the two biggest shows on the docket sport the same title match, it shows little creativity.

There might have been a lot more buzz about the match if Rollins still held the title and someone like the Fiend attacked him and challenged him. Or even Drew McIntyre would have been a new match-up for either Lesnar or Rollins.
