One of the highly anticipated and much-awaited pay-per-views of the year, WWE SummerSlam is a little over a week away. Scheduled for 11 August 2019, the biggest WWE event of the summer will come live from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada.

Well, WWE has already announced a plethora of high profile clashes for the event. From the likes of the former Architect of Shield, Seth Rollins taking on The Beast, Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship to The Viper taking on Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship, WWE creative has put together a promising match card for the event.

With the event being a few days away, social media is getting flooded with speculation and predictions for the event. Fans all over the globe are coming up with all sorts of theories regarding the Biggest Party of the Summer.

So, to feed all our curiosities, we take a look at 4 huge predictions for WWE SummerSlam 2019.


#4 Alexa Bliss interferes in Raw Women's Championship Match

Becky Lynch is scheduled to defend her Raw Women's Championship against Natalya at SummerSlam. However, WWE is not likely to put this feud to bed anytime soon.

Furthermore, given how things have been unfolding between Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, and Natalya in the last few weeks on the red brand, potential interference from Bliss seems totally on the cards. WWE could have her show up with Nikki Cross to attack and decimate Becky Lynch.

As a matter of fact, the breadcrumbs for the same could be laid down by WWE on the upcoming episode of Raw (if it has not been already), with a huge Alexa Bliss vs Becky Lynch vs Natalya Triple Threat matchup already being advertised for the show.

Thus, potential interference from the former women's champion resulting in a win via disqualification for either participant with Becky retaining her title could be on the cards for August 11.

#3 Brock Lesnar retains the Universal Championship against Seth Rollins

The Beast is likely to retain on August 11.

The Beast, Brock Lesnar is scheduled to defend his Universal Championship against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam on August 11. However, titles changing hands seem a very distant possibility.

I mean, in all senses, WWE can't have their favorite part-timer in the likes of Brock Lesnar winning the Universal Championship only to lose at the following pay-per-view. It would completely defeat the purpose of Lesnar winning the title in the first place. Thus, Rollins walking out with gold on August 11 seems a bit far-fetched at the current moment.

Furthermore, given how Lesnar mauled and decimated the former Shield member this week on Raw, it seems WWE could bring back the old persona of The Beast very soon. And to be honest, it would be a great move as the current Universal Champion has become a bit underwhelming in the last few months or so.

All in all, expect another strong showing from The Beast at the Biggest Party of the Summer.

#2 Roman Reigns defeats Samoa Joe and Buddy Murphy in a triple threat matchup

While a mouthwatering contest between The Big Dog and Samoa Joe was totally on the cards for SummerSlam given how the two have been taking shots at each other week after week, WWE added a new twist in the tale this week on SmackDown Live.

Yes, The Big Dog was ambushed by an unknown attacker this week on the blue brand and it has left the internet speculating about the person behind this attack. Well, according to popular opinion, Buddy Murphy seems to have his fingerprints all over it as he was spotted backstage, moments after the attack, by some fans.

Thus, a potential Triple Threat match between Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, and Buddy Murphy could be on the cards for SummerSlam and expect WWE to officially announce the same in the upcoming week.

Furthermore, expect The Big Dog to conclude this feud by picking up a win as he is rumored to face Bryan after SummerSlam.

#1 Bill Goldberg replaces The Miz in his match against Dolph Ziggler

Even though WWE has announced a huge matchup between Dolph Ziggler and The Miz for SummerSlam, the latter is not likely to be the one to face The Showoff on August 11. Yes, if reports are to be believed, then The Miz is likely to be replaced in his match against Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam 2019.

While the likes of Shawn Michaels and Bill Goldberg have been speculated to replace The Miz, the latter seems to be ahead in the race as it was rumored that Goldberg could face Ziggler at the biggest WWE event of the summer on August 11. Furthermore, Ziggler has been constantly taking shots at Goldberg in the last few weeks or so.

Thus, expect the former Universal Champion to replace The Miz to face Dolph Ziggler in a high profile match at SummerSlam.
