3 shocking things that could happen at SummerSlam

SummerSlam is WWE's second-biggest pay-per-view of the year after WrestleMania. The company will try their best to entertain the fans.

Over the past few years, we have seen many shocking phases in this pay-per-view, from Orton's Money in the bank cash-in to Stone Cold's neck broke incident. However, some of them were pre-planned whereas some happened by mistake.

This year, SummerSlam is going to happen once again at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York on August 19, 2018. The match card of SummerSlam is taking its shape and it is safe to say that this year as well we will witness some shocking moments in this pay-per-view.

Today, in this article, we are going to present you 3 shocking things that could happen at SummerSlam.

#3 Dean Ambrose returns to betray his Shield-brother Seth Rollins

The Shield reunited last year on Oct. 9, 2017, during a segment of "Miz TV". Their reunion didn't work that well because after some months, during an episode of Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins accidentally hit his Shield-brother with friendly fire. From that time, fans are eagerly waiting to see him in the ring.

SummerSlam is just a few weeks away and the days are counting down until the 'Lunatic Fringe' returns to WWE television. He is one of the most beloved babyfaces of the PG era. Last year in December, he suffered from a torn triceps tendon injury, and it was estimated that he will miss nine months of action in the WWE.

But, What if the 'Lunatic Fringe' return at the SummerSlam to cost Rollins his match?

There had been many speculations in the past that after his return, Ambrose will turn on his Shield-brother Seth Rollins who accidentally became the reason for his injury. Currently, Rollins is set to face the present Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler.

Many wrestling fans (including me) thinks that WWE can start a fascinating feud between Ambrose and Rollins at SummerSlam. Furthermore, it will be interesting to see what WWE has planned for Ambrose.

#2 Lesnar retains the title

Brock Lesnar is going to defend his Universal Championship against Roman Reigns for the third time at SummerSlam.

Reigns defeated Lashley this week on Monday Night Raw to become the No.1 contender for the Universal Title. Recently, Lesnar challenged UFC star Daniel Cormier for the heavyweight title at UFC 226.

After his appearance in this pay-per-view, rumours started buzzing around that Lesnar will lose his title at SummerSlam and he will go to the UFC for his fight.

Now again, WWE can shock the world by retaining Lesnar's title. They did this many times in the past including WrestleMania 34 and the Greatest Royal Rumble and they can do it once again. However, if they did this again then the fans will get frustrated with the WWE because they want a champion who can defend it on a weekly basis.

#1 Kevin Owens wins the Money in the Bank briefcase

Braun Strowman should lose his Money in The Bank briefcase against Kevin Owens at SummerSlam. Let's assume that Roman Reigns will defeat Brock Lesnar in SummerSlam. If this happens then Owens can easily cash-in the Money in The Bank briefcase on Reigns.

Not only it will allow him to become the Universal Champion for the second time but it will also help Reigns to get sympathy from the fans. In truth, Strowman doesn't need any briefcase to win the title. He is a powerhouse and he can easily become the champion later.

In fact, he will not lose his momentum after losing to Owens at SummerSlam. He can lose the briefcase by disqualifying himself as he did in Extreme Rules. This will only help Kevin to become the top heel wrestler of Monday Night Raw.
