Ex-WWE Champion ‘Removed’ From SummerSlam

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was planned to work SummerSlam. Billi Bhatti recently reported on The Dirty Sheets podcast that WWE told Flair that they would give him a spot. He was then removed, and they told him they had nothing for him. Flair then asked for his release and the request was shockingly granted by the company.

 


 

SummerSlam pay-per-view is going to be huge and some surprises are also expected for the event.

Finn Balor wants a match against Roman Reigns

The former WWE Universal Champion Finn Balor said that he would be interested in facing Roman Reigns and John Cena in a triple threat match for the title at WWE SummerSlam.

Balor was set to compete against ‘The Tribal Chief’ at The Biggest Party of the Summer after the latter accepted his challenge. However, during their contract signing segment on SmackDown last week, Finn was attacked by Baron Corbin before he could sign on the dotted line to make the match official and it was Cena who signed the contract making a match with Reigns for the event.

Speaking to WWE Die Woche, Finn Balor spoke about how the situation unfolded and revealed that he has unfinished business with Roman Reigns.

Of course [it] hit a nerve but in the same situation, I’m sure I would have done the same, so you know, I gotta respect that and respect the approach that he [John Cena] came with but I really believe that myself and Roman [Reigns] have unfinished business,” said Balor. “Roman accepted the challenge, so, you know, it may not be SummerSlam but I’m pretty sure we’ll get down to business once Roman and John is handled.”

He added that he wouldn’t mind taking on Roman Reigns and John Cena in a triple threat match at SummerSlam for the Universal Championship:

“Well, I’m not sure if the possibility of a Triple-Threat at SummerSlam is off the cards right now so, if we could somehow finagle that, that would be fantastic but if not, obviously the one reason I’m in SmackDown is to become Universal Champion so you know, Roman Reigns is who I want,” added Balor. “I’ve wrestled John before, I’ve wrestled Roman before but what I want is to [regain] the Universal Championship.”

Roman Reigns vs John Cena for the Universal Title is currently confirmed for SummerSlam and we will see if any changes to the match occur.
