Six
days left until SummerSlam, and all hell is about to break loose. CM
Punk might not make it to the summer classic if chicanery ensues during
his fight with Paul Heyman (it will). John Cena and Daniel Bryan both
might end up with egg on their faces if Mr. McMahon has some diabolical
plan in store for their WWE Title Match at SummerSlam (he does), and one
group of Superstars who’s been uncharacteristically quiet of late may
look to make a big impact in the final days before the summer classic
(they certainly will). Here’s the last pre-SummerSlam five-point
preview.
Student vs. teacher
Paul Heyman hasn’t exactly minced words since turning on CM Punk at Money in the Bank, and with Punk still reeling from a thumping by Brock Lesnar last
week, Heyman went and challenged his hobbled former Padawan to a
throwdown on Raw. Punk, of course, accepted, but given that these two’s
history of “fights” never seems to end without incident (ironically
enough their last two were both against the same guy), look for Heyman to throw some kind of curveball to weaken Punk further before he steps into the ring with Lesnar on Sunday.
Release the hate
So Kane’s got Bray Wyatt in a Ring of Fire at
SummerSlam in a bout that’s set to take both Superstars, quite
literally, to the edge of hell itself. But while the backwoods preacher
Wyatt has certainly proven himself as sinister a Superstar WWE has ever
seen, Kane is coming off one of the more balanced years of his career,
if not his life. Just a year ago, he was dipping his toes into anger management with Daniel Bryan and
as of last month, hugging it out wasn’t entirely off the table for The
Devil’s Favorite Demon just yet. Can Kane rediscover his old, sadistic
ways in time? And even if so, will it be too little, too late?
Waiting in the doghouse
We haven’t heard much from The Shield in the weeks
leading up to SummerSlam. This is not a good thing. Despite a pair of
epic Six-Man Tag Team Matches, The “Hounds of Justice” have yet to
announce their plans for the summer classic, which of course means that
Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns are due to make one of
their patented statement attacks sometime soon. The only questions left
are who and when.
Three’s Company
Anticipation for a WWE Title Match the
WWE Universe never expected has officially built to a fever pitch. John
Cena holds steady as the world-beating champion, but perennial underdog
and No. 1 contender Daniel Bryan is looking every bit as dominant as
The Champ these days, taking on and defeating any Superstar who dares to challenge him lately.
Randy Orton, meanwhile, remains on the fringe of the rivalry with his
Money in the Bank contract ready to go at a moment’s notice.
And then, of course, there’s Mr. McMahon, who doesn’t seem to want any
of these competitors as WWE Champion and is surely thinking up some
wicked scheme for the final minutes of the summer’s biggest party.
Speaking of which …
Change The Game
WWE COO Triple H has sworn to upend whatever
scheme Mr. McMahon has in mind for SummerSlam, looking to interfere with
The Chairman’s meddling by running interference of his own. With so
many moving parts to the WWE Title Match as it is, it’s tough to see how
The King of Kings could possibly keep his eyes on everything and
anticipate what his father-in-law’s got in store, but for a man with
seven days left to figure it out, The Game seems pretty confident. How
can The Cerebral Assassin possibly thwart Mr. McMahon’s plans? Tune in
