She's definitely getting added to Bayley/Moon. Favor from Shane. Oh, I know this one, Charlotte wins then Ember beats the shit out of her and the fans love it, while Eric Bischoff complains on Twitter about how people were just seeing the story they wanted instead of the one they were actually telling. Then Moon gets nagging knee problems during the build to WrestleMania 36.

Updated the OP with the new matches and graphics. Also, Charlotte Flair says she'll be on the show against a wrestler "who's better than Ember Moon".

I'm guessing Bray destroys Finn so when he eventually returns he'll be looking for revenge as the demon.
Kofi and Orton should be a good match.
Not feeling the rest of the card so far to be honest. Not a fan of the Stone Cold Steve Owens stuff with Shane.

Any ideas on what Roman, Joe and Bryan will be doing?

This is a really crappy card so far IMO, and itβs supposed to be a Summerslam!
Rollins/Lesnar is so played out at this point, boring, boring, BORING.
Shane McMahon should not be such a featured player in 2019, far too much ring time has been given to him since his return. Owens has been good but itβs a re-run storyline with an overexposed McMahon.
Both womenβs matches with probably be solid, but the challengers are both going in cold. Bayley picks Ember as her opponent...why? Itβll be a good match sure, but sheβs been irrelevant since she got to the main roster. As someone who liked her, even I have to say that Natalya is played out. Sheβs perfect for the tag division (is that even a thing?) or as a midcarder, but sheβs not Summerslam material in 2019.
Orton/Kofi...in 2019? As the Summerslam main event? Nope.
Bray/BΓ‘lor is probably the most interesting match so far, but itβs also been done before. Bray was riding a wave of momentum doing something different and exciting, I hope they can keep that up. Writing Finn off for a while could help that

I'd say Kofi vs. Orton is something I'm looking forward to, as there's a backstory and Orton poses the biggest threat to Kofi's title so far.
The rest of the card not so much at this point.

Any ideas on what Roman, Joe and Bryan will be doing? Roman will probably face one of Shane's goons (McYntire or Elias). DB still hasn't been on TV since losing the tag team titles and saying he was gonna reinvent himself, right? At this point, seems like he's been forgotten, which is f***ing ridiculous in its own right. Joe's been made a bitch, so at this point, who cares?

No matter how many times Joe loses, he still comes off as a completely credible killer so hopefully he has a match on the show. Maybe a multi-man midcard title match with Joe, Black, Mysterio, Nakamura, Ali.

Unless they keep sticking him with Cesaro because they can't develop a story.

Something quite interesting I just noticed with this show - SummerSlam ticket sales are pretty solid, some empty seats but not a gigantic amount of them.
The Raw and SmackDown after though are both total ghost towns. Hundreds of tickets available all over the building both nights.

I mean, it basically would be. Night after the second biggest show of the year, when they're selling weekend ticket bundles, and it's the first time Raw and SmackDown have been in Toronto in the past year.

John Pollock at POST Wrestling got confirmation that Trish Stratus vs. Charlotte Flair is happening at SummerSlam. I'll add the confirmation when it's announced on TV or by WWE online.

Nice Romanian and Ukraine backgrounds on the cards.

What a dishearteningly uninteresting card this is. I was planning on making Summerslam my last fling with the Network before I cancelled. I might not even make it that far.

I donβt know what it is about Summerslam cards recently where they have a couple of big matches but the rest feel like they should be on B-C show cards. Like, Natalya/Becky feels like an Extreme Rules filler PPV match. And I like the both of them.

I would have rather seen Becky defend against Beth Phoenix personally.

Naomi defended the belt against Natalya a couple of βSlams ago at a time when Natalya was in the exact same spot. She just won contendership just because.
