Bengaluru, August 5: Proving the previous reports right, Brock Lesnar won't be featuring in the 2020 SummerSlam event. WWE Universe is well-aware that it's that particular show of the year that's been dominated by the former WWE Champion over the years. He also possessed a unique streak that is coming to an end due to the current absence.
Brock Lesnar has main-evented six back to back SummerSlam PPVs starting from 2014. This is quite a huge accolade for a WWE Superstar who has been in the marquee spotlight for a particular Big-Four PPV in WWE calendar, in a row that in turn also proves how much the company depends on him.
Originally, this streak of main-eventing SummerSlam would’ve continued if it wasn’t for the COVID-19 outbreak. The original plan of the creative team was to host a rematch between Drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar. These two featured in the WrestleMania 36 headliner where Lesnar dropped the WWE Title to the King of Claymore Country.
The Beast could have received a chance to gain his title back but he's not intended to travel amid this coronavirus pandemic. WWE isn’t keen either to use him on TV as there's no audience present in arenas and they don't have to move tickets. So his presence could be saved for a later occasion.
