SummerSlam

Hey Scott, I’ve got a couple of SummerSlam questions for you:


1. Instead of a blow-off or traditional balanced booking where Undertaker returned just to get his win back from 15 months ago, doesn’t Brock-Taker seem like a set-up for the next WrestleMania than anything else? Undertaker wins (possibly by kicking Brock in the nuts for 20 minutes since that’s been effective) at SummerSlam in order to build to a rubber match at WrestleMania where Taker puts his career on the line so he can have his final match take place at WM in the Dallas area?

2. With the announcers (and Dean Ambrose, who has been sitting in on commentary a quite a bit recently) harping on the fact that Ambrose and Reigns are "brothers from another mother" and pledging their support and friendship for each other, isn’t it almost a guarantee that one of those two will be turning on their partner at SummerSlam? Of those two former Shield members, who would be better off by making the heel turn against their buddy? I feel like Ambrose would be better at it but Reigns needs it more for his character development moving forward.

​1. If you’re going that route, then Brock should win, not Undertaker. I know that WWE loves their "rubber match" storylines, but I think the fact that Taker has never beaten Brock is a much stronger hook for a Wrestlemania rematch with a career on the line.

2. I’m reasonably certain that Ambrose is turning heel and joining with Bray Wyatt, yes. Although Reigns would actually make more sense as a top heel opponent for Cena at Wrestlemania since there’s pretty much no one else at this point and it would freshen him up tremendously. But apparently this Bray v. Reigns thing that’s burning up the ratings charts is supposed to stretch until Royal Rumble somehow​, so that’s what we’ll get instead.
