SummerSlam is considered it to be the Biggest Party of the Summer in the WWE Universe. Over the years, we have seen several historic matches and epic moments at this event. Fans will expect the same from WWE this time as well.
A few high voltage clashes have already been confirmed for this year's SummerSlam which includes Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship, Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship, and Finn Balor vs. The Fiend.
Here are the three things that may happen at this year's SummerSlam.
#3 The Kabuki Warriors win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
The Women's Tag-Team Championships have had their fair share of drama for all the wrong reasons. After Sasha Banks and Bayley became the inaugural champions, The Boss went on an extended hiatus when the company decided to end their reign in favor of the IIconics.
While the Australian duo has been pretty entertaining, Kay and Royce have failed as champions, failing to elevate the gold or even feature it consistently. The IIconics will most likely be facing The Kabuki Warriors at SummerSlam, and it is high time that they lose the gold.
Kairi Sane and Asuka are a couple of the finest performers in the world and have been severely underutilized on the main roster. It is about time they got a run with the gold, and with Paige as a manager, the team will be featured regularly, and the belts will finally receive the exposure they so richly deserve.
Asuka and Sane can definitely be trusted to bring about the next step in the evolution of women's wrestling in WWE. Sane repeatedly impressed on NXT and we all know, just how dominating Asuka can be with the right booking.
#2 Seth Rollins fails to retain the Universal Championship
After destroying Baron Corbin at Extreme Rules, an exhausted Seth Rollins fell prey to Brock Lesnar who cashed in his MITB briefcase to become the Universal Champion once more. It brought an end to the Architect's run, but he will try to win back his gold at SummerSlam.
Brock Lesnar has been booked too strongly for years to lose so soon after winning gold, and beyond that, Seth Rollins beating The Beast twice in the same year is pretty much ridiculous.
The Architect is going to fail at SummerSlam, and Lesnar will go on to face his next opponent, perhaps a certain Monster Among Men who is reported to be in line for a massive push on Raw.
#1 Randy Orton Wins the WWE Championship
Kofi Kingston’s ascent to the top of WWE came out of nowhere but resulted in one of the best moments at WrestleMania. Since winning the title at the biggest show of the year, Kingston has been the best-booked Superstar and champion in the entire company. Not only is he a fighting champion, he has taken down some of the biggest names WWE has to offer, but that could change at SummerSlam.
Kofi Kingston will be facing Randy Orton with his championship on the line at the event, and there is a very good possibility that Kofi will lose. While his reign has been relatively enjoyable, he has also gotten stale, so the time may be right to take the gold off him. Randy Orton is one of the most decorated stars in the company and has a history with Kingston.
His infamous trade, calling Kingston ‘stupid’ in the ring years ago, pushed the current champion down to the mid-card for years. The company easily tapped into that discomfort between the two for a feud that will, in all likelihood, ultimately result in the Viper being crowned champion at SummerSlam.
