Meltzer said the current plan is doing Seth/Finn again for the World Title. Two things: 1. Probably needs a stip to slightly vary it and not make it a 1:1 re-do of Money In The Bank 2. I’d have done the Fatal 4-Way (but in practice glorified handicap match that slowly falls apart) by adding Priest and Dominik

My card guess:
Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title
Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor for the WWE World Heavyweight Title - Balor may as well do it as Demon Finn
Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar - some sort of No DQ stip
Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Belair for the WWE Women’s Title
GUNTHER vs. Drew McIntyre for the Intercontinental Title
Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Gonzalez for the World Women’s Title
Trish Stratus vs. Becky Lynch
Ronda Rousey vs. Shayna Baszler
Logan Paul vs. Ricochet
LA Knight vs. Austin Theory for the US Title
Tag titles are left off the card again, but there just isn't the time, nor is there really a story for them unless they do KO and Owens vs. Priest and Dirty Dom, which I would, but some of the matches above would go long anyway.
Might need to use the SD before as the pre-show - or better - just have a preshow with matches!

Atm I’m thinking
Roman v Jey Rollins v Balor (& Priest & Dom possibly) Gunther v McIntyre Asuka v Charlotte v Belair Ricochet v Logan Paul Cody v Brock Ronda v Shayna Trish v Becky
Those are the only matches that seem set to me and that’s 8. KO & Sami might get left off again possibly defend the belts on Smackdown again. Does Theory deserve a ppv match? Heck no. Unless he’s dropping the US belt to LA Knight. Rhea doesn’t seem to have a challenger set up hope she doesn’t defend against Raquel & Liv honestly.

I'm interested in seeing what gimmick Brock/Cody gets since I doubt it's a regular singles match.
I remember a month or so ago reports that their feud ending match would be a "rarely used gimmick match." I liked the idea of 3 stages of hell which I saw suggested even if it seems unlikely. A match like that really has to go like 40 minutes and it's already going to be a struggle to fit all the big stars onto this card without super long matches like that.
Maybe Hell in a Cell? Now that they've done away with the PPV thankfully they can just use it whenever and it doesn't always have to be October.

I think Cody vs. Brock might be a bullrope match, it's been a while since we've had one in WWE.

Honestly there are only two questions I have regarding Summerslam and the women's title matches: Does Asuka escape with the title again? Because Charlotte or Bianca don't need the title right now and it would be dragging the division back to the status quo. And the second question is will Iyo cash in on the winner of one of the women's title matches?

I try to brace myself that Flair is always going to be in the title picture regardless of whether or not the story calls for it. Perhaps after she eclipses 16, but not getting too hopeful.

(I also posted this in last night's Smackdown thread)
I know people think something like this is going to happen with Judgement Day; but do you think Bayley is going to weasel her way into the Championship Match, win, get blind sided by Shotzi, then cashed in on by Iyo?

No. I don't seriously see this Shotzi thing going anywhere, to be honest. She'll feud with Bayley and/or Iyo, lose, and fall back down the card, because she just isn't interesting, and the audience really didn't seem to care all that much when she shaved her hair off. I don't even think she'll appear at Summerslam either. This just seems like an attempt to get her over again, even though it's not going to work as she doesn't have the charisma to carry herself to anything more than a lower midcarder, and she's pretty damn terrible in the ring as well.

I’m not sold on Jey winning…solely because I’ve been wrong like the last 4 or 5 times that Roman defended. lol
