As for the IC Title, the plan was to do Ryback vs. Big Show vs. Miz at Battleground, but Ryback suffered a staph infection prior to the match. Since Show announced the match at Smackdown, WWE is likely optimistic that Ryback will be ready to defend the title at SummerSlam. If not, maybe they will vacate it and then just do Big Show vs. Miz for the title.
Below is the updated SummerSlam card coming out of last night’s tapings:
Winner Takes All MatchWWE United States Champion John Cena vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins
Triple Threat for the WWE Intercontinental TitleThe Miz vs. Big Show vs. Ryback
Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker
Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper vs. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose
- Below is what looks to be the updated card for the August 22nd WWE NXT “Takeover: Brooklyn” event, which will air live on the WWE Network. It’s worth noting that the Ladder Match stipulation for the main hasn’t officially been announced but it was seemingly accepted by both competitors, as seen this past week on NXT when Kevin Owens challenged NXT Champion Finn Balor to a ladder match. Also,Triple H announced on Facebook in his Q&A this evening that Sasha Banks will defend against Bayley, who will face Becky Lynch next Wednesday night in a #1 contenders match. The event will see the debut of Apollo Crews (Uhaa Nation) debut on WWE. Here is the updated card:
