Wasn't it meant to be Owens and Zayn challenging The Usos and plans had to change.
Anyway in Kayfabe terms, shouldn't every main event face and heel storm the ring to attack the champion and then have Theory cash in successfully whether he wants too or not.
That way the championship is back being in full circulation?

This card is one Goldberg match away from looking like a Saudi show.
Saudislam 2022🤔

The earliest is I can see this happening at Wrestlemania when the Usos FINALLY drop the belts.

Stupid idea I just had - Lesnar and Reigns go to a draw and that's the pretense for splitting the belts again.
Either way this show is a hard skip for me.

Average Card, they can do way better than just matches you’d probably see on Raw or SmackDown weekly

A random legend associated with tag-team wrestling like Scott Steiner? Someone with history with both teams (New Day member?) A heel appointment who will favor the Usos (Heyman/Rikishi/Zayn)? I could actually see it being Sami and him calling it down the middle because he doesn't want to be involved in any "conspiracy" and the Street Profits win, leading to the Usos/Roman being pissed at him and leading to a face turn for him.

Sami then turns face and him and KO end the Usos reign?

According to Wrestletix, they've sold just over 30,000 tickets so far so it'll be a big crowd but they're not going to get the 45-50,000 they got last year which isn't really surprising.
Last year's card was way more stacked. Reigns/Cena was a massive main event. Edge/Rollins was a big first time ever match. A Wrestlemania main event rematch advertised in Bianca/Sasha. RK-Bro challenging for the tag titles. Lashley/Goldberg was probably pretty intriguing for casuals too.
This year's card lacks the star power of Cena and there's just too many recent rematches from either WM (Reigns/Lesnar, Bianca/Becky) or MITB (Usos/Profits, Liv/Ronda, Lashley/Theory). Obviously Liv/Ronda isn't the same as the others as it wasn't exactly a proper match but it's still too many.

Like, even with what’s going on with the company and whatever Cena might have going on, having a whole night dedicated to him and not setting up a SummerSlam match is a choice that seems to have prevented them from selling out the venue. It could change and they could have something ready at MITB but not even having him say “I’ll have a match at SummerSlam” could help build some intrigue for the show, even if it’d be obvious to everyone and their mother it’d be Theory.

Not much they can do if Cena’s not working Summerslam this year.

This is the first time I've ever been interested in a Corbin match.

Yeah, this card looking pretty buns for summerslam, honestly. Very uninspired card. I feel like they inadvertently have some juice back into the Profits/Usos because they had such a strong match earlier this month but then the next best build is Corbin/Mcafee which…yeah.
Brock/Roman has been done to death, Liv/Rousey is likely gonna be face/face which is always a hard sell for a big show, we just saw Lashley/Theory, and I don’t know what else you put on here that can salvage the card.
Probably be a good show but very weak card on paper for the 2nd biggest show of the year (I guess?)

Biggest matches that make sense storyline-wise that can still be added would probably be Edge vs. Balor, Drew vs. Sheamus for the number 1 contendership and Bianca vs. Becky.
