WWE SummerSlam Rumor Roundup: Why Goldberg is facing Ziggler, Huge match cancelled?

Why Sami Zayn versus Aleister Black was removed from SummerSlam

Aleister Black

Sami Zayn versus Aleister Black was originally slated to be on the WWE SummerSlam card but ended up taking place on SmackDown last week. The reason behind this seems to have something to do with Vince McMahon rewriting most of SmackDown at the last moment earlier this week.

Dave Meltzer gave us more details behind what happened on this week’s episode of Wrestling Observer Radio:

“So the deal with Aleister Black and Sami Zayn was when Vince showed up and didn't like SmackDown. He tore the whole show apart. When he was done with the stuff he didn't like and then changing the main event, they had an hour to fill. And so one of the ideas for that hour was, well, what can we do in this hour? Let's put Aleister Black's match with Sami Zayn on. So, that was one of the things they did to fill the hole. They took that off the PPV and that's the reason that's off the PPV."
