With only weeks to go until SummerSlam at the Ford Field in Detroit on August 5, WWE fans are bracing themselves for a series of pulsating announcements over the next couple of weeks. Apparently, chief among the expected reveals will be a rematch between the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins, and his familiar adversary, Finn Bálor.
Wrestling pundit, Dave Meltzer, announced the possible face-off on Wrestling Observer Radio, where he highlighted the WWE's strategic attempts to Bálor's image ahead of his challenge against Rollins.
This narrative received further fuel when Bálor went on a winning spree, an orchestrated move to rehabilitate his image in preparation for the incoming clash.
However, this isn't just another rivalry; it's a bitter and emotionally charged feud. WWE fans might remember SummerSlam in 2016 (who could forget when Bálor kept on reminding us of this ahead of Money in the Bank?), where Bálor clashed with Rollins for the Universal Championship title. Despite Bálor's victorious moment, the match was clouded by an unfortunate incident where Rollins injured Bálor's shoulder, costing him over a year of his career. This lingering animosity has only festered over time, and Bálor has made it clear that he is thirsting for revenge.
