Tom Colohue speculated on the latest edition of the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast with host Korey Gunz that if Brock Lesnar gets held up in Canada, WWE could possibly book Drew McIntyre to go up against Randy Orton.
It was noted that the original plan was to have Orton vs. Edge at SummerSlam, but the Rated-R Superstar’s untimely injury led to a change in plans.
WWE brought in Big Show for a brief angle with Orton to buy some time while they figure out the next move.
Tom had the following to note on the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast episode:
It was reported a few days ago via WrestleVotes that the WWE could be forced to have SummerSlam inside the Performance Center. Vince McMahon was previously adamant about getting fans back for SummerSlam, but the situation has changed a lot over the past few weeks.
Will Brock Lesnar return for WWE SummerSlam?
Dave Meltzer stated in the first week of June that he expected Brock Lesnar to be back for SummerSlam irrespective of whether WWE gets a limited number of real fans back for the show.
It should also be noted that there are a handful of Superstars who have not been able to appear on WWE shows due to the Canada-US travel ban, and Robert Roode is one example.
SummerSlam is scheduled to happen on August 23rd but will the situation get better? Could Brock Lesnar pull a few strings and get into the United States in time for the show?
