July 22, 2019 Observer Newsletter: SummerSlam takes shape, Fight for the Fallen review, more

After an Extreme Rules show that ended with Brock Lesnar cashing in his Money in the Bank contract and winning the Universal title from Seth Rollins, and television this week, we have a lot of new programs and a semblance of a SummerSlam card.

SummerSlam takes place on 8/11 in Toronto as part of what will be the busiest weekend of the year when it comes to major shows, the WWE having a Takeover and SummerSlam and New Japan having three Budokan Hall shows with the end of the G-1 Climax tournament.

Matches official at press time are Lesnar vs. Rollins for the Universal title, Becky Lynch vs. Natalya for the Raw women’s title and Bayley vs. Ember Moon for the Smackdown women’s title. While not announced, it was confirmed to us that Bray Wyatt vs. Finn Balor (who, despite rumors to the contrary, is not at this point slated to be The Demon) will also be on the show in what is likely to be Balor’s last match for a few months.
