Lesnar is on a part-time deal with the WWE so it's possible that he won't make too many appearances unless it's for a major pay-per-view event and SummerSlam fits the bill.

Lesnar defeated The Undertaker to end his legendary undefeated WrestleMania streak Sunday night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans and with The Undertaker giving Lesnar the nod to beat him at the biggest show of the year, the WWE is likely looking to give "The Beast" some momentum heading into the summer.

Bryan defeated Triple H cleanly and then made Batista tap out in the main event of WrestleMania XXX in order to win the World Heavyweight Championship during a match that also included Randy Orton, and the WWE will likely build him up as a champion in Lesnar's absence as a way to make the eventual clash huge.

It's merely internet speculation that these are the WWE's plans, but it would make sense that the WWE would want to build Lesnar for a title run after he broke The Streak and coming out of the positive momentum that Bryan and the WWE have after WrestleMania, it's believable that these two will clash at the August event.

The likely scenario would see Bryan carry the title through the spring and summer only to lose to Lesnar at SummerSlam. Lesnar could then carry the title into WrestleMania 31 to put over a new star on his way out. That would take a commitment from Lesnar though, so it remains to be seen if that's what the WWE will do.

Either way, the speculation around the WWE and the internet is that Lesnar and Bryan are on a collision course for SummerSlam, which airs on Aug. 17.
