Roman Reigns Sets WWE SummerSlam Plans<\/span><\/h2>\n

Roman Reigns is on WWE Raw to sort out who he\u2019ll defend the World Heavyweight Championship against, amongst other things. I like to see Reigns as the kind of guy who will complain endlessly about the one domestic flight he took across the US to get to Atlantic City. On and on he\u2019ll go, whilst his colleagues have to nod along sympathetically, even though they\u2019d flown from the US to England, on to Saudi Arabia and back to the US in the duration of time Reigns took that one private jet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jet-lagged Jey Uso will be first in the firing line for Reigns after he failed to win the King of the Ring. <\/span><\/p>\n

Oba Femi could brag to Reigns about his superior airmiles. But the new King of the Ring<\/a>\u00a0should challenge Reigns to a showdown at WWE SummerSlam if \u201cThe Ruler\u201d is a man of his word. But now Cody Rhodes is without a title thanks to former honorary uce Sami Zayn. Rhodes could pull a full \u201cFinal Boss\u201d and demand Femi step aside to allow him to face Reigns at WWE SummerSlam. <\/span><\/p>\n

The final thing to consider is that Femi might sidestep Reigns and look to become WWE Champion by beating the easier prospect of Zayn. Oh. It\u2019s all actually quite fun and interesting, isn\u2019t it? <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be interesting to see if JD McDonagh is still feeling the effects of the electric shock he got from Danhausen\u2019s shoddy cloning computer last week. He faces Chad Gable, who hopes defeating the zapped McDonagh will set up a match with Dominik Mysterio. But The Judgment Day should look to fire back at Danhausen. <\/span><\/p>\n

He has already cursed Mysterio, but completed the pair when he put his hoodoo on Liv Morgan at Night of Champions. Morgan will now have to defend her title against IYO SKY, who beat her on Saturday in the Queen of the Ring final. Queen of the Ring final.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
