According to Dave Meltzer, early plans for this year's WWE Summerslam include The Undertaker vs. Jack Swagger for the World Title. That seems to indicate that, at least for the moment, Swagger is scheduled to be a long-term champion.

WWE also wants to push either MVP or Kofi Kingston in a main event position for Summerslam, but also having the one that they decide to push turn heel.

On the RAW side, Triple H vs. Edge is being talked out.

Fan Axxess is currently scheduled in Los Angeles in the days prior to the Summerslam PPV.

Swagger and Taker was obvious, but they also want to turn either MVP or Kofi heel and put them in the main event.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I can't imagine Kofi as a heel, his in ring style and his current gimmick just scream BABYFACE to me, MVP has been a heel before and he was quite good at it so he seems to be the better candidate for the push.

As for Swagger/Taker, I'm glad to see Taker coming back finally, I would probably book Taker to win the World Title back simply because I don't care for Swagger and I probably never will.

Sigh...

TURN CHRISTIAN JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

 

[chessarmy]

^ I seriously think Christian could be a HUGE star in WWE but all his talent is severely underutilized.

Its sad to say this, but he was used 100x better in TNA

I'd like to see Kofi Kingston as a heel. Especially if he'd have kept the Jamaican accent. We saw a little bit of what he can do as a badass against Orton last year. But I guess it's all about who wants to turn heel so they can spend 3 months getting built up so they can job to Cena.

And job to Cena not even on PPV, but on the first 3hour Raw.

Swagger vs Taker will be a good match, but it will be damn sad to see Swagger job to the Deadman.

 

[seX-Power]

Oh please god be MVP. Or better yet Christian.

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

I remember about a year ago everyone was crying and getting their cunnies all wet because I was talking about how Vince and Co. had absolutely zero plans for Christian and hear we are a year later and he's doing absolutely nothing but taking up space with all the nothing they have planned for him...

 

[JurassicBonez]

Oh god. Swagger vs Taker @ Summerslam. I just shudder thinking about that. That's when Punk/Taker started last year and we all know how that turned out.

As far as the heel turn goes, it'd be stupid to turn Kingston heel. He gets the 3rd best face reaction on the show. We know how MVP is as a heel and that's when he was at his best. Turn him heel.

 

[Kizza]

I'll laugh so hard if Taker MOLDS Swagger into a superstar.

 

[Airfixx]

^^^"Molds" now rather than "builds" eh? : P

I'm glad to see Taker coming back finally

He's only been gone 5 or 6 weeks, FFS.


TBH, Baffled how Kofi or MVP are gonna main event for SD when Swagger v Taker clearly would.





As for Christian.... The guys looking skinnier by the week. Sure this counts massively against him cos it's clearly not his ring or mic work.

Oh god. Swagger vs Taker @ Summerslam. I just shudder thinking about that. That's when Punk/Taker started last year and we all know how that turned out.

I think we can all agree that it is much easier seeing Swagger beating Taker by his size and power alone. Not too many of us gave Punk/Taker a chance because it was such a horrible mismatch and horrible main event. I thought it would suck beforehand and it did indeed suck.

I am open to a Swagger Undertaker feud though, that should be pretty interesting to see Swagger being pushed in a major program like that of with the Deadman.

Let's hope Taker is closer to 100% though I don't want to see his big dead ass limping around the ring.

 

[...god...]

Btw, I actually kinda see Taker putting someone over for once here. Mostly because he already destroyed him earlier. But I'll wait to jump to conclusions since it IS The Undertaker. Don't think he'll take enough time to MOLD him though. =p

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

Man, all this Taker hate is laughable. Fuck, the dude had two bad matches the past three years and people are acting like they're watching Hulk Hogan instead of the Taker. Big fuckin deal if he squashed Punk. Punk doesn't draw money and it's not like Taker is campaigning to be WHC like Hogan did or holding people down like Hogan did or he can't move around the ring like Hogan. I don't know if people can't get over the CM Punk thing, because he's been pretty mobile since then, or what the hate is, but this is asinine. His match with Swagger will be fun, their TV match a few weeks ago was as good as a tv match as their has been all year and he will help build some legitimacy for Swagger the way he did for: Lesnar, Foley (fuck yah, he built Foley into something credible WAYY before he threw his ass off that cage, 3 of Mick's first 6 WWE PPV matches are against Taker) Kane and Orton, plus he was the first person to give Jeff Hardy his first major singles rub. Remember that ladder match when Taker was WWE champ and a bad ass heel and turned face to shake Jeff's Hand and show respect? Huge rub. He's done alot. For a long time. He doesn't politic, he doesn't hold people down. He's a locker room leader who does what is asked of him of his employer, yet people want to jump his case like he's the modern day Hogan instead of Andre. I don't get it.

show some god damn respect. Unlike guys who will tell you they put on showstoppers every night when it's been the same moveset since his debut (HBK) Taker is the true showstopper and he's been getting better with age. God forbid he doesn't do many programs so he can still go on and put on those WM matches that make us nut.

Taker actually works with his talent, and puts on a fucking orchestra. Taker's MMA style vs Swaggers Wrestling will be fucking awesome to see. Taker can innovate against ANYBODY, in any kind of match. He showed Edge he can TLC for fucks sakes. He showed HBK he can be the showstopper. He showed Triple H he can play any game you can come up with And he's been showing for years he can be the unstoppable deadman and fucking etc (orton and him need a rerun now that Orton is more established, even though his moveset still sucks balls)

Show some god damn respect when you mention sir taker. at 60% he could still make Swagger look like brock lesnar
