Other SummerSlam Thoughts

This year's SummerSlam has over a dozen different storylines to address, so the past several weeks have involved a lot of planning on WWE's part.

Two matches were affected by injuries to Bayley and Scott Dawson, but management found replacement challengers for the Hardys and Bliss.

Regardless of how the first 12 matches turn out, the one everyone will be talking about Monday morning will be the Fatal 4-Way for the Universal Championship.

Reigns, Strowman and Samoa Joe have been built up into real threats to Lesnar, and seeing all four powerhouses collide Sunday has the potential to be epic.

The return of The Demon King is something a lot of fans are looking forward to, but his makeup won't matter if he and Wyatt can't produce a good performance.

It's a little disappointing WWE didn't manage to put more than two women's matches on the card out of 13 total contests, but if Carmella decides to cash in her Money in the Bank contract, we could see a third.

A lot of people think someone losing the NXT title means they are immediately being called up to the main roster, so it's possible Bobby Roode will make an appearance to kick off his first feud on Raw or SmackDown.

The crowd was hot for TakeOver, so hopefully, the fans in Brooklyn bring the same level of enthusiasm to SummerSlam.
