Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper Breakdown and Projections

When Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose team up to take on Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper at the 2015 edition of WWE’s SummerSlam pay-per-view, hardcore wrestling fans know they will be in store for a real treat.

The WWE Universe remembers the intense six-man tag battles between the original members of The Shield and The Wyatt Family stables, but fans will now be treated to two-thirds of each faction going head-to-head with each other.

For those who loved those matches at Elimination Chamber 2014 or on Raw, fans get to relive those experiences, just on a smaller scale.

The match itself should be extremely exciting. All four men have mastered the art of the tag team match, and Sunday’s showcase should feature each of the four competitors getting ample time to exhibit the talent they possess.

Inside the ring, Ambrose and Harper are most likely to do the heavy lifting. As the two best technical wrestlers in the bout, the majority of the matchup will likely feature Ambrose getting beat down by The Wyatt Family until he is finally ready to make the hot tag to Reigns.

As seen in the past, Reigns is not a great singles wrestler, but he thrives in the tag team format due to his explosive moveset. When he is finally tagged into the bout, Reigns can focus in on hitting all of his big spots without worrying about telling a story or stringing moves together.

Reigns should ultimately be thwarted by Bray, who will get his own chance to showcase his skills by using his methodical style to grind down both Ambrose and Reigns. With four very different performers and styles, how they mix on Sunday will be very interesting to watch.

As for the outcome of the match, all indications in the storyline point to another bout at Night of Champions. With that in mind, the SummerSlam match needs to end with a convoluted finish that pushes the rematch to the next PPV.

The answer should be a third member of The Wyatt Family.

Whether it’s a returning Erick Rowan or a completely new member altogether, the addition of another member would give The Wyatt Family the edge on Sunday and heading into the likely rematch at Night of Champions.

At NoC, the odds will be stacked against Ambrose and Reigns, and that would be the perfect place to have Sting or another star interfere on their behalf. With Brock Lesnar and Undertaker likely going away after SummerSlam, infusing Sting into this storyline would make for a marquee fall program.

Regardless of how the match concludes on Sunday, there are few fans who can doubt that this tag team battle will likely continue into September.
