Spoiler On Seth Rollins’ SummerSlam Opponent – WWE hasn’t announced any matches officially, but they have an internal card in place.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Finn Balor challenging Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Title is planned for the show.
Meltzer also speculated that Balor would not be working the NXT Great American Bash main event with NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes and Ilja Dragunov the week before SummerSlam on August 5 because WWE is trying to build him back up.
“The problem is, Finn, is wrestling Seth. That’s for SummerSlam. So I doubt they would put Finn in a match and have him not win it right before putting him into two championship matches so close together. They’re only a week apart. They announced Carmelo Hayes vs. Ilja Dragunov because Finn’s being protected right now. Finn’s beating everyone because they’ve got to get Finn back ready for Seth.”
While Meltzer doesn’t know for sure whether WWE could make it a triple threat with Hayes and Dragunov and someone else at Great American Bash, Balor vs. Rollins is scheduled for SummerSlam.
“I do know that the plan was that Finn’s going over (winning) constantly because they’ve got to rehab him for Seth because that’s at SummerSlam.”
This past week on NXT, The Judgment Day (Damian Priest & Finn Balor) (w/Dominik Mysterio & Rhea Ripley) defeated Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams. Balor pinned Hayes in the match.
WWE SummerSlam takes place on Saturday, August 5, 2023, at the Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. The following are the reported matches being planned for SummerSlam:
- Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
- Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor for the WWE World Heavyweight Title
