Ranking The 6 Best SummerSlam Moments From 2003-08
Coming out of Tuesday's SmackDown tapings, which are set to air this Thursday, the WWE has added two big new matches to SummerSlam on Aug. 23 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, according to Wrestlingheadlines.com.
The WWE revealed at the tapings in Sacramento, Calif. that former Shield stablemates Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose will team up to take on the newly reunited Wyatt Family, consisting of Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper.

There were originally rumors that Sting and a new Wyatt Family member would be added to the feud leading to a six-man tag match, but there have been a lot of reports that the plans have changed and it will remain a standard tag clash.
In another new contest announced for the second biggest show of the year, Ryback will put his Intercontinental Championship on the line in a Triple Threat Match against The Big Show and The Miz.
This bout was originally slated for Battleground last month, but it was scratched due to The Big Guy dealing with a staph infection in his leg.
Ryback took to Twitter and said he'd be good to go by SummerSlam, which is likely why the WWE felt confident enough to add the bout to the lineup.
SummerSlam is headlined by a WrestleMania XXX rematch between The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar as the Demon from Death Valley looks to get vengeance on The Beast for ending The Streak.
The WWE has also teased a winner-take-all, title-for-title encounter between WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and United States Champion John Cena.
Though Cena is dealing with a legitimate broken nose sustained at the hands of The Architect over a week ago, it is expected he'll return to television to accept the challenge and make the match official.
Here is the updated card for WWE SummerSlam on Aug. 23 in New York City:

Seth Rollins (WWE World Heavyweight Champion) vs. John Cena (WWE United States Champion)
