Bengaluru, August 17: Brock Lesnar is set to feature in his fourth consecutive main event at Summerslam this Sunday (August 20). In a gigantic matchup, he will defend his Universal Championship against three other elite superstars from Monday Night Raw.

Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, and Samoa Joe are going to be the three to compete Lesnar in the fatal-4-way match.

Now, the storyline of this match states that if Brock Lesnar loses the scheduled match that is the championship, he will walk away from the WWE alongside his advocate general, Paul Heyman. The latter one announced the same two weeks ago for making a bad decision for the scheduled title match.

Being a no disqualification multi-man match, the champion will not have to be involved in pinfall or submission to lose the title. As stipulations of the match, anyone can pin or submit anybody to win the fight and become the new champion.

Ad hints of big WWE championship match

This is a clear disadvantage for the beast incarnate and a supposed conspiracy against his client, according to Heyman.

However, we might have got a rumour killer from a tweet posted by the venue of Summerslam. The Barclays Center will not only host the biggest event of the summer but also Raw and Smackdown the following week.

To promote the flagship show, the arena's official twitter handle posted an advertisement that showed the reigning champion, Lesnar will be on Monday Night Raw, on August 21st.

Considering the rules of the match, it is a big spoiler for the main event match which is Brock Lesnar will walk out the champion and then go on to Raw, the following night. People started complaining about the spoiler and the tweet was removed, later. This is yet another indication that about the sensitivity of the post.

It is also being speculated that the conqueror might be present to give his farewell speech to the WWE Universe. But, Lesnar is already being advertised for the No Mercy PPV which is another hint that he will still remain in WWE for now.
