5 WWE Superstars that stand to gain the most at Summerslam
The 4 hour Summerslam special promises to throw up mouth-watering advances in all the storylinesWith only around a week to go for Summerslam, the WWE is firing on all cylinders as far as marketing and building up the second most important PPV in the year is concerned. Featuring a match that has been labelled curiously as “too big for Wrestlemania”, Summerslam promises to be a rip-roaring encounter with other engaging feuds also possibly culminating during the course of the unprecedented 4 hour event.Off late, with the Diva’s revolution in full swing and Seth Rollins’ title under its first real appreciable threat in the form of the irrepressible John Cena, the Summerslam card looks set to deliver on its hype along with what is sure to be an epic rematch between Brock Lesnar and the Undertaker. As a possible reunion for Wyatt family also looms ahead, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose look likely to be embroiled in an entertaining dog-fight as well; capping off what has all the markings of a solid pay-per-view event.With Summerslam traditionally featuring stellar matches and break-out performances over the years, all early indications and storylines seem to suggest that the trend is set to be repeated this year round as well. That being said, let us now examine 5 such Superstars that are poised to significantly benefit from the advent of this edition of the WWE’s summer extravaganza.
#1 Neville
Neville’s portrayal as a bonafide superhero has been backed up admirably by his high-flying in-ring move set, with increasing opportunities on the microphone also suggestive that the former NXT champion is high on the WWE creative team’s ‘push’ list. After the last Monday Night Raw episode that featured an altercation between the surprisingly athletic Stephen Amell and Stardust, the ‘Red Arrow’ and Green Arrow have also been fused seamlessly into a storyline that looks set to culminate in a tag-team match at Summerslam.
As having Amell compete just to lose would be equivalent to PR suicide for the WWE, the situation is predisposed towards what would seem to be a mega push for Neville under the global mainstream attention that the actor is bound to attract. With Neville, the WWE get a Superstar that is as over with the pro-wrestling marks as he has the potential to be with the general audience; a dynamic that looks set to blossom into fruition come Summerslam.
