Early Tuesday, WWE announced the first two matches of its biggest summer annual premium live event (PLE) SummerSlam.
The first match will be for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship between Seth Rollins, and Finn Balor.
Rollins won the title at WWE Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia a few months ago, after defeating AJ Styles in the final crowning the inaugural champion of the title.
Balor re-sparked his seven-year feud against Rollins to capture the gold once again. Both stars met each other in Money in the Bank, early this month, and the flames never put down.
The Prince is still fixing his eyes on Rollins gold, which led to another match for them in the hot summer stage.
Let's talk about this segment.
The way Rollins snapped out of his character...
The fact that Balor is completely justified in loathing Rollins...
The intensity...

The fight for the gold is not the only match announced for the summer festival, as Cody Rhodes wants to book his place in the line, after passing the biggest hinder in his road, the Beast Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar and Rhodes have been disputing for more than three months for the biggest share of light since WrestleMania's Raw fallout.

Rhodes faced Lesnar at Backlash last May, in a match where Cody had the upper hand, while the Beast captured the victory in the second match in Saudi Arabia.
