#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.
