Regarding plans for the WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Dolph Ziggler will be wrestling on the show but there is no word yet on who his opponent will be. As Tim noted, it was reported that Ziggler is not currently planned to wrestle The Miz or WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels at SummerSlam, despite the MizTV angle on this week’s SmackDown. The Observer added that Shawn will not be returning to the ring for the big event in Toronto.

Another match currently listed on the internal SummerSlam line-up is Ricochet vs. WWE United States Champion AJ Styles.

There had been speculation on Elias and Samoa Joe vs. SmackDown Tag Team Champions Big E and Xavier Woods happening at SummerSlam, but the indication is that this will not be happening.

The Observer also noted that there are other SummerSlam match ideas being pitched, which haven’t been teased on TV at all. Some of the matches speculated on from TV include Ali vs. WWE Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, The Kabuki Warriors vs. Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose vs. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The IIconics, and The Usos vs. RAW Tag Team Champions The Revival.
