WWE SummerSlam 2017: Match Card Predictions After Battleground

Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, & Jason Jordan vs. The Miztourage
With a total of 9 titles on the two brands, it makes it nearly impossible for all of them to be defended at a PPV like SummerSlam. Also with both rosters sporting such depth, it is difficult to get all of the top stars on the show.
This is why WWE tends to lean towards triple threat matches or fatal four ways for their championships, but not every match can be one of those. There needs to be more variety, which is why I believe a 6 man tag match will be on the card.
While the rest of the members of this match (Rollins, Ambrose, The Miz, Bo Dallas, and Curtis Axel) make sense, Jason Jordan is the one that is a bit of a question mark. Obviously, a Shield reunion would be my first choice for The Miztourage’s opponent, but Roman is currently busy in the main event scene.
So, I kind of had to improvise for that last position as the teammate of Ambrose and Rollins. Two names came to mind: Finn Balor and Jason Jordan. Finn would be a worthy pick, but it seems like WWE does not mind taking their time with Finn’s push after his absence from Great Balls of Fire, so another absence or a program with Bray Wyatt may be in the cards for the Demon King.
This left me with Jason Jordan. Jordan will be a main headline on RAW going forward now that the big news of him being Kurt Angle’s son has been announced. WWE will surely want to fit Jason Jordan onto their next and biggest PPV of the Summer now that his meteoric rise is about to begin.
With the majority of heels on the roster already working towards a program for SummerSlam, it may be too late for Jason Jordan to have a singles feud, but it won’t be too late for him to make an impact.
By coming to the aid of Ambrose and Rollins during one of The Miztourage’s onslaughts, Jordan can align himself with the two former Shield members for a big matchup at SummerSlam.
This match may be a bit out there, but it could certainly help get a lot of talent on the card and could be interesting to see.
