would andrade almas fight aj styles at summerslam?
Let me rephrase: would WWE put Almas in a position where he could fight AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at Summerslam? It’s hard to discern at times just what WWE’s plans are, but there is enough evidence to suggest that they would not be above putting Almas so high on the card despite his relatively short stint on the main roster.
Remember last year, when Shinsuke Nakamura challenged Jinder Mahal for the WWE Championship at Summerslam? Sorry if you guys don’t want to remember it, but it’s relevant to my point. Nakamura had been on the main roster for three months when he earned his shot against Mahal. He lost, but that’s not what matters.
Second point: WWE has always been looking for a Latino star ever since Rey Mysterio got old and left. When Alberto Del Rio arrived, he had a rocket strapped onto him. Four months after debuting, he was in contention for the World Heavyweight Championship. He won the Royal Rumble five months after debuting, and won Money in the Bank ten months into his main roster career. He became WWE Champion just two weeks before his debut anniversary.
There was also that time when WWE tried to make Kalisto a thing. They gave him a fairly long United States Championship reign (119 days), but alas, nothing came of it.
I wouldn’t put it past WWE to hotshot Andrade Almas straight into the main event if they think he’s that good.
