WWE SummerSlam 2015: What Match Will Steal The Show?

WWE SummerSlam is just over a week away. The focus of WWE SummerSlam, for obvious reasons, has been on the rematch between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker. But, that won’t be the match to steal the show. Instead, the tag-team match between Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt against Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose will steal the show.

WWE SummerSlam is one week away and the event promises to be one of the greatest shows of the year.

After all, that has been the hype that WWE has been feeding us and that is even why the decision was made to push SummerSlam into the 4-hour territory instead of the traditional 3-hour territory for WWE Pay-Per Views.

The cornerstone of the SummerSlam match card is undoubtedly the rematch between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker but that won’t be the match to steal the show. There are multiple candidates for matches to steal the show at SummerSlam and had you asked me two weeks ago, I would have undoubtedly penned the match between Cesaro and Kevin Owens to be the one to steal the headlines.

But, that won’t be the match to steal the show at SummerSlam.

Instead, that honor will go to the tag-team match that pits Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper against Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns.

We have seen an enhanced version of this match before when The Wyatt Family and The Shield were both the top factions in the WWE. That should be reason enough for the tag-team match at SummerSlam to be the shoe-in candidate to steal the show.

But, lets go back to the hype machine that WWE is operating for SummerSlam. If WWE truly wants this year’s SummerSlam to be on par with Wrestlemania, then there will be multiple swerves at the event.

The biggest swerve that WWE could pull at SummerSlam would be having a split between Ambrose and Reigns.

Almost as hard as WWE has pushed SummerSlam this year, the company has equally pushed the friendship between Reigns and Ambrose. Some could argue that push of the friendship between Ambrose and Reigns has been over the top. Whether that is true or not, there is no arguing with the fact that WWE has put themselves in a perfect position when it comes to battle of families at SummerSlam.

At this point, it doesn’t matter whether it is Reigns that turns on Ambrose or Ambrose that turns on Reigns. As long as one of those two swerves occur at SummerSlam, then the match is easily going to be the most discussed match of the night. Reason being that a split between Reigns and Ambrose would be a clear head nod to the idea that WWE wants to pit all three former members of The Shield against one another in a triple threat match–potentially at WrestleMania 32.

That’s why the match between Wyatt and Harper against Reigns and Ambrose will steal the show. Unlike Owens vs. Cesaro or Lesnar vs. The Undertaker, the battle of families tag team match at SummerSlam has the potential to start the build towards the match that could steal the show at WrestleMania 32–Ambrose vs. Reigns vs. Seth Rollins.
