It is expected by most people in WWE that Brock Lesnar will be leaving the company after this weekend, at least until after his UFC fight with Daniel Cormier. So it’s likely that he will be dropping the Universal Championship at SummerSlam or the following night on Monday Night Raw. We don’t know if he will be dropping the title to Roman Reigns or Braun Strowman but the upcoming live event line-ups give us a glimpse into future plans for the main event scene.
WWE has announced the following matches for the live event taking place in London, England on 8/29:
– Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman
– Ronda Rousey vs. Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women’s Championship
– Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship
– Finn Balor vs. Baron Corbin
– Bobby Lashley vs. Elias
– Ember Moon, Natalya, and Nia Jax vs. The Riott Squad
– Cedric Alexander vs. Drew Gulak for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship
