Predicting the Match Card for WWE SummerSlam 2018
By Liam Hoofe
Dean Ambrose Vs Roman Reigns
Most fans, myself included, are taking it as a given that when Dean Ambrose does finally return to the ring, the WWE will finally pull the trigger on a heel turn for The Lunatic Fringe.
Dean’s career was boosted a little bit by The Shield reunion at the end of 2017, but his injury cut that short, and he had zero momentum as a singles star before that.
Returning stars always get a momentum boost, and the WWE needs to capitalise on that quickly and have him turn heel against his former Shield brethren straight away.
There were rumours last year that the original Shield reunion between Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins was going to lead to a match between the two at WrestleMania, and while there is every chance the WWE will still go for that match at SummerSlam, my fictional SummerSlam has other plans in store for Seth Rollins.
Following back to back defeats at the hands of Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns no longer feels like a legitimate threat to his Universal Title, and while the company may decide to give us Lesnar Vs Reigns IV at SummerSlam, an upper mid-card, potentially show-stealing match with Dean Ambrose would make a lot more sense.
