- Batista is not returning to WWE any time soon and if he did, it would be in early 2014 for WrestleMania season. One person close to Batista notes that he's not going to return at all if he's got anything going on for early 2014 with new movies, because that's his line of work and priority now.
- The Undertaker is currently recovering from shoulder surgery and will not be at SummerSlam. It's doubtful he will be back until his usual pre-WrestleMania return. Taker's shoulder issues are said to be pretty bad at this stage of the game.
- WrestleMania XXX would mark 11 years since Steve Austin last wrestled a match. WWE has interest in Austin working the event, if he wants to work it and can get medically cleared. There has been an idea discussed for Austin vs. Triple H with the control of WWE at stake. Austin would be representing Vince McMahon.
Besides CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar and Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena for the WWE Title, other matches in the works for SummerSlam include:
* Kane vs. Bray Wyatt
* Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow with the briefcase on the line
* Big E Langston vs. Dolph Ziggler
* A Divas match on the pre-show
The Shield will be doing something with Mark Henry and The Usos and if not, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns will defend the WWE Tag Team Titles against Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro. Keep in mind none of these matches, except for Lesnar vs. Punk and Bryan vs. Cena, are confirmed.
