SummerSlam 2020 would likely be main-evented by the WWE Championship match where Drew McIntyre will defend his title against the 13-time world champion, Randy Orton. The Viper is in the middle of one of his best runs as a heel, and with him bringing back his vicious Punt Kick, McIntyre is in for his biggest challenge to date at SummerSlam.

Now, this is one match where it is really tough to predict who would come out on top. All sorts of finishes are possible - a clean victory for Drew McIntyre, a clean victory for Randy Orton, or even a no-contest. But could WWE have a massive swerve up their sleeves at SummerSlam?

A couple of weeks ago on RAW, we saw Randy Orton turn on Ric Flair and punt him in the head. But we never saw the punt connect as the lights went out at the exact time. Could this all be part of the plan that will see Ric Flair return at SummerSlam and help Randy Orton win the WWE Championship, shocking everyone? It certainly could be the case!
