John Cena, meanwhile, gets to snap a six-match losing streak this coming Sunday, according to Bleacher Report. An update to the WWE SummerSlam 2017 Card sets him up for a match versus Baron Corbin, in which he is expected to win — that is, if he wants a shot at the WWE title matches in the near future.
Next, Randy Orton versus Rusev has been added to the matches. The Bulgarian Brute is also looking for a shot at a title match, which he gets if he succeeds in taking down Orton at next week's PPV event.
Finn Balor against Bray Wyatt, another late addition to Sunday's card, looks like the beginning of a long-running feud. Wyatt is likely to come up to the ring with something up his sleeve, and fans should expect Balor to respond in kind.
Meanwhile, The New Day and The Usos have been firing up the ring with their relentless tag team battling styles, and fans can expect more tag blitzes from this popular group feud this coming Sunday.
Last but not least, Big Cass is finally up on the big stage as fans expect a tremendous showdown against the Big Show himself. Will the upcoming big man survive, trading hits with one of the most imposing athletes on the planet? Fans can find out on Aug. 20 when WWE SummerSlam airs from Barclays Center in New York.
