Pre-Show Stalwart
Considering we have plenty of months to build up to Summerslam, what card do you think would make this a great ppv? In my opinion, it's been way too long that WWE has put on a very memorable Summerslam.
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
John Cena vs. Undertaker
Considering Taker is most likely retiring after next years Mania, we have to see this match happen before he leaves. Rock's involvement for next year cancels out this being a Mania match, so why not have it at the second biggest ppv of the year? It only makes sense. When was the last time a Summerslam main event had this kind of draw power? It's been too damn long. It's about time some prestige is brought back to this ppv.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Sheamus vs. Triple H (Street Fight)
I know, I know...HHH and Taker should NOT both be involved in the title matches. Trust me, I'm one of the biggest supporters for this "youth movement" but I also feel you simply can't put these two in meaningless matches. I'm a big Sheamus fan and I'm hoping he goes to Smackdown in the draft and has a real lengthy reign as champion. I can see Triple H taking some time off and returning some time before Summerslam. This feud never had any real closure and I think they can really create a memorable match, especially if given a stipulation such as a Street Fight.
UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP
John Morrison vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Dolph Ziggler
I drool over this match. Perhaps the three biggest up-and-comers in the company. I'd have Cody win this match to have him start his first singles reign and make it official that this kid is meant for the big leagues. If WWE wasn't using the ladder match gimmick at this upcoming Extreme rules ppv, I would say this is the perfect match to use it.
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Daniel Bryan vs. Evan Bourne
I'm not big on either one of these guys, but I can't deny the fact that they are solid midcarders and would pull off a killer opener.
Randy Orton vs. Edge
I hate to not put Randy in a main event but I think he really needs to do something to his character to elevate him once again. Edge is super stale as a face so I'm hoping he turns heel again in the next few months.
Alberto del Rio vs. Sin Cara
The two big Mexican stars. This match has foreign draw power written all over it. I would have them do a lengthy summer feud topping it off at Summerslam.
The Miz vs. Christian
Feels weird not to put Miz in a title match, but even Rock and Austin didn't main event some big 5 ppv's in their prime. Christian can attribute to Miz losing his title sometime in the summer and the feud begins...
CM Punk vs. David Otunga
Punk starts losing control of the Nexus in the summertime and Otunga starts rebelling against their leader. Though not big on Otunga, I feel WWE will give him a push eventually.
Wade Barrett vs. Rey Mysterio
From a storyline standpoint, I think the Corre, being the young group that they are, should start try taking out all the older superstars who are holding them back. Kane, Big Show, Rey, etc. Maybe eventually it can even lead to a Wade vs. Triple H feud sometime after Summerslam.
