Lesnar and Reigns' previous meeting was at WrestleMania 38, where the Tribal Chief won and became an Undisputed WWE and Universal Champion.
The WWE Company had initiqally decided to pit Randy Orton against Reigns at SummerSlam. However, Orton picked up an injury earlier this year and was ruled out indefinitely. Following that, Lesnar, who had not made an appearance since his WrestleMania 38 defeat, made a surprise return last month before he was announced Reigns' next challenger.
Last year's SummerSlam saw Reigns defeat John Cena by pinfall to claim the Universal Championship belt. The Head of the Table now holds the record for the longest reign, having been the Universal Champion for over 700 days.

Meanwhile, one of the big fights of SummerSlam will be between Seth Rollins and Riddle, according to Cageside Seats. Riddle recently fought against Reigns for the Universal Championship but failed to beat the Tribal Chief. As per the stipulation that was added to their fight, Riddle cannot challenge for the Universal Championship belt till it belonged to Reigns.
Riddle and Rollins were a part of the Money in the Bank event last month but both failed to win the ladder match. At the event, the RK-Bro member even delivered an RKO to The Visionary.
