Huge Backstage Update on SummerSlam Main Event Possibly Being Changed
- WWE’s scheduled main event for SummerSlam and potentially even WrestleMania 34 was changed a few weeks ago, but it’s not quite confirmed what those matches changed to.
- What is expected is that the main event at SummerSlam – originally supposed to be Brock Lesnar defending against Braun Strowman – has been changed to Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns, likely before Reigns came out for his recent interview challenging the winner of Lesnar/Joe.

- While it is thought that Reigns vs. Lesnar will now headline the summer classic, there is still a chance that plans could be changed further because of the fact that Samoa Joe has gotten over way bigger than WWE officials initially anticipated.
- Originally, and as we have noted many times, Joe’s role was to be just another guy who Lesnar destroys to get further over but the program has been a gigantic success. As we alluded to here, it may no longer make sense to have Joe be “one and done” and the program may end up continuing into SummerSlam.
