ZitatAlles anzeigenSportskeeda Exclusive: Jason Jordan to get a big title shot at WWE SummerSlam 2017
Jason Jordan had his first singles match on RAW this past week and looks set to get a shot at a title in Summerslam.
The current plan for the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam is to have The Miz defending his title against Jason Jordan.
Jason Jordan was revealed as Kurt Angle's illegitimate on the July 17th edition of RAW.
Meanwhile, The Miz has recently formed his Miztourage, who have been embroiled in a feud with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose.
Rollins and Ambrose defeated The Miztourage in a 2-on-3 handicap match on RAW this Monday. This should put an end to the feud, with Rollins and Ambrose moving onto a new program.
Original plans called for Rollins and Ambrose to challenge The Miz in a triple threat match, however, creative have decided to stick with the Shield reunion storyline.
The Miz is now set to move onto Jason Jordan, who only made his singles debut this week on RAW, defeating Curt Hawkins.
Jason Jordan is set to appear on Miz TV this Monday, where they are likely to set up their SummerSlam match.
Despite the addition of Seth Rollins, I was not interested in seeing The Miz and Dean Ambrose working together any longer, so I'm not too unhappy to see the Triple Threat match nixed. I was hoping for a Rollins vs Miz match, building to Ambrose turning heel on Rollins, however, the WWE have gone a completely different way.
I think fans are interested in a Shield reunion, however, based on the response Jordan received this week on RAW, I don't feel like fans will be behind the idea to push Jordan as the next Intercontinental Champion.
The Miz has earned the respect of the fans over the past 16 months, and with fans already dissatisfied by the Jordan reveal, I think WWE may see more backlash when Jordan receives a mega push.

Rollins and Ambrose took on The Miz and Miztourage this past week on RAW.
The current plan for the Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose storyline will see the pair team up and challenge the WWE Raw Tag Team Champions.
Rollins and Ambrose were both formerly in The Shield, however, the pair fell out when Seth Rollins turned heel on his fellow Shield members to join Triple H and form The Authority.
In recent weeks, the pair have been reluctantly reunited against The Miz and his Miztourage, however, whilst Rollins seems to fully committed to teaming with Ambrose, Ambrose remains hesitant to trust Rollins, given his prior turn.
Rollins and Ambrose will pair up at SummerSlam to face Cesaro and Sheamus. Original plans called for Sheamus and Cesaro to defend in a multi-person tag match, whilst Rollins and Ambrose were poised for a triple threat match with The Miz.
However, creative have decided to stick with the Shield reunion storyline, which is set to culminate with Ambrose finally accepting the traditional Shield fist bump - most likely after winning the Raw tag titles at SummerSlam.
After defeating The Miztourage in a 2-on-3 handicap match on Raw last night, the pair is likely to turn their attention to Raw tag titles as early as next week's Raw.
I had very little interest in seeing The Miz and Dean Ambrose working together any longer, despite the addition of Seth Rollins.
Despite the fact this is somewhat of a Shield rehash, it does feel fresh in the current climate and does solve the issue of Cesaro and Sheamus not having any viable opposition with The Revival being heels and the program with The Hardyz thoroughly exhausted.
