It has been revealed that John Cena will battle Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of SummerSlam on Aug. 17 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and there are rumors of two more matches being added to the card as well.

According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, Bo Dallas vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship is likely while Rusev vs. Jack Swagger in a Flag Match has also been rumored.
There was speculation that The Miz would face WWE United States Champion Sheamus -- possibly in a title unification match -- but it appears that the WWE is building toward a triple threat match for the IC title instead. Sheamus and Miz could still battle at Night of Champions on Sept. 21 in Nashville if they don't cross paths at SummerSlam.

There were rumors that the Rusev and Swagger feud might end after Lana received some serious heat for her promo at Battleground in the media, but it appears that the battle for national pride will continue into the biggest show of the summer.
There have been rumors that Chris Jericho vs. Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton and Stephanie McMahon vs. Brie Bella will be added to the show as well.
Jericho had a pinfall victory over Wyatt at Battleground, but following the attack from The Wyatt Family on Jericho last week, it appears their feud will continue into SummerSlam.
Reigns attacked Orton at the end of last week's RAW after Triple H initially announced Orton vs. Cena for the gold at the biggest show of the summer, and after it was revealed that Lesnar will now be the No. 1 contender after ending The Streak of The Undertaker at WrestleMania it appears the WWE has built toward Reigns vs. Orton.
McMahon and Bella have been feuding over the way McMahon has treated Brie's husband and injured WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan and her sister Nikki Bella. After McMahon slapped Bella on RAW last week and was subsequently arrested, a match is looming between the two.
It is likely that since Bella quit, there will be a stipulation that if she wins she gets her job back. The match could be announced as soon as tonight as Bella revealed on Twitter she's been asked to come to RAW
Interesting. Got a call from @WWE HQ. Apparently, @StephMcMahon wants me at #RAW. Can only imagine what this is about. I'll be there- READY!
