What direction will the WWE be taking from now until Summerslam? How will the major returns affect the end of the summer? I'll give you some analysis on the rumors and facts of the end of the summer in WWE. Also, I'll give you my opinion on ppv predictions, but I want your take too.
Alright folks, let's look ahead shall we? The end of this summer COULD be one of the greatest in WWE history...COULD be. WWE has to start basically from scratch, and this will allow them to develop creative storylines and build up superstars a great deal.
This huge summer could happen because of 4 reasons:
1. Almost everyone on the WWE roster will be intact (so it seems) With the exception of Helms HBK and maybe Taker...I think that everyone will be intact by the end of summer...which is a result of the next reason...
2. Huge returns. Think of the amount of hype that they can build for the returns of Rey Mysterio, Triple H, and possibly The Undertaker. If you didn't see Smackdown last night, they are already doing return promos for Rey Rey. WWE needs to maximize the excitement of these returns and give the fans some great return feuds.
3. Media Coverage. They got huge mainstream media coverage for the McMahon storyline and the Benoit tragedy. This got the attention of many people and got them interested (or disgusted) in/with WWE. They can continue this great media coverage by becoming even more controversial (Attitude Era anyone?) and utilizing their special guests (Steve-o, Knoxville, and the crew) to give the non-regular viewers people to relate to and give them reasons to watch.
4. Summerslam. This ppv sounds HUGE. Combining the stars of the hit show "Jackass", the returns of Triple H and Rey Rey, and the rumored huge match that Mick Foley has been training for for some time now creates an unstoppable ratings machine attracting WWE fans and MTV fans alike.
As I said before, the end of this summer might be the greatest ever. Starting from scratch can be a very good thing, because the creative team can (hopefully) give the WWE viewers classic feuds and matches that wouldn't have existed if the injury plague didn't happen. So basically I am looking at all of these major injuries as a good thing...because although we lost major superstars for many months, we get to start over and get fresh feuds.
Now we get to the fun part...predicting!
I'll write what I think the cards for the next two ppvs will be:
The Great American Bash:
Edge (c) vs. Kane (World Heavyweight Championship)...locked
John Cena (c) vs. Bobby Lashley (WWE Championship)...locked
Johnny Nitro (c) vs. CM Punk (ECW Championship)...locked
Batista vs. The Great Khali...locked
Dusty Rhodes vs. Randy Orton
Chavo Guerrero (c) vs. Jimmy Wang Yang (Cruiserweight Championship)
Rey Mysterio vs. Mark Henry
Alright, I'll start out by saying that there is a rumor that Mick Foley is training for a huge match at Summerslam (...what I think is a last hurrah). Who will he fight?...There are many superstars that it could be (remember all of this is just a rumor for now, but it is still fun to think about). It could be John Cena, Triple H, Mr. Kennedy, etc. But I am going to go with Randy Orton. Mick Foley=Legend...Randy Orton=Legend Killer. Foley has put superstars over all of his life, and I think he will put Randy Orton over in a Hell In A Cell match.
Summerslam:
Mick Foley vs. Randy Orton (Hell In A Cell)
Umaga vs. The Jackass Crew (Some weird stipulation).
John Cena (c) vs. Bobby Lashley (WWE Championship)
Burke vs. Cor Von vs. Punk (c) vs. Nitro (Hardcore ECW Championship Match) okay...maybe not...
Triple H vs. Mr. Kennedy
Rey Mysterio vs. Edge (c) (World Heavyweight Championship)
Matt Hardy vs. MVP (c) (United States Championship)
Batista vs. The Great Khali
Melina vs. Mickie James (Women's Championship)
Although Summerslam is about a month and a half away, that was actually really fun. I would love to hear your opinions on the card for Summerslam and the Great American Bash.

Yes, i do believe that the summer is going to be huge for WWE i just wish Troy Kennedy wasn't broke as hell at this point in time. Troy Kennedy says that the rock's rudy poo candy ass will come back since he divorced his wife and has nothing left to do..since his movie career is going down faster then the titanic.
THIS COMMENT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOU BY
TROY KENNEDY.....KENNEDY
I absolutely LOVE all of those matches in your SummerSlam preview. I wish you were the booker for the WWE.
Also, I think you have a really salient point in your discussion of media coverage along with a new beginning. The world will be watching as the WWE starts over. What will they do?
who called dusty rhodes vs. randy orton at the bash? jared did.
Your Summerslam matches def get the thumbs up.
However I think that Cena needs to drop the WWE Championship to Lashley at The Great American Bash, he has held the belt for too long and it is time for new blood to rise through the ranks of RAW. Just look at the talent the show has over SmackDown.
I think Edge vs. Rey Rey for the World Heavyweight would be an awesome match plus it would liven things up a bit. SmackDown needs to get things going, especially since Triple H’s return is imminent. They need some good storylines to play the end of the year out with.
ECW World Championship match although not gunna happen it would be awesome a real chance for ECW to show off some top new talent and boost the careers of Burke & Cor Von who def need it. We all know CM Punk is good but I think he will only make it to the top in ECW, I do not believe he will ever hold a WWE Championship or a World Heavyweight Championship. Nitro also needs to show off his hardcore credentials, this would be a great time to do so.
Triple H vs. Ken Kennedy would be a brutal showing, I think it would also be a good way for The Game to easy himself back into a nice path of destruction before capturing a 11 WWE Championship maybe...
Hell in a Cell, in my opinion there hasent been a great Hell in the Cell match for a long time, putting Mick Foley & Randy Orton in one would be a brilliant idea. Mick is the hardcore legend & Orton needs to prove himself still worthy of WWE Championship gold. I think this match would go off and would be a real attraction to SummerSlam.
Umaga vs the Jackass crew, would be funny to watch the jackass crew get there asses handed to them! Lol!
Matt Hardy deserves to win a major singles title, I mean I think he has the edge over Jeff and Jeff has been intercontinental Champ a few times now. I think that it is Matt’s time to step up and win the other second tier belt. Plus if Jeff manages to recapture the Inter… championship then we could see a nice match between the both of them.
Batista vs. Khali this would be a nice feud we all know Batista is Championship material and would destroy Rey Rey if he beat Edge, this match would just be a great way to reinforce that point.
Some good matches there dude, it would def make for a very interesting summer in WWE!
