5 Fallouts from SummerSlam 2019

SummerSlam 2019 is in the bag and it was an exciting show that had its good and bad bits. While SummerSlam did not have any shocks, it was a solid show that was enjoyable from start to finish. We saw Seth Rollins crowned Universal Champion once again, while the rest of the champions who defended their titles on the show, didn't lose.

Another great part of the show was the in-ring debut of The Fiend, Bray Wyatt, who had an incredible entrance as well as new theme music, and made quick work of former Intercontinental Champion, Finn Balor.

The results and feuds from SummerSlam set the tone for the remainder of the year in WWE, and there could be a few fallouts from the show. Let's take a look at 5 Fallouts from SummerSlam 2019:

#5. Finn Balor to join The OC?

The OC and Finn Balor

AJ Styles recently turned heel when he joined hands with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows once again, and the heel faction were now called The OC. Ahead of the SummerSlam main show, the trio met Finn Balor backstage and told the former Intercontinental Champion that they would be by his side if he needed them anytime in the future, teasing a potential heel turn for Balor as well as him joining The OC.

Balor and The OC have history as all of them have been a part of the Bullet Club faction of NJPW, which Balor was a founding member of, while Anderson and Gallows were part of the faction alongside Balor.

Balor is set to take some time off from WWE soon, but we could probably see him return as a heel and join The OC.

All three members of The OC hold titles after Styles defeated Ricochet to win the United States title at Extreme Rules, while Gallows and Anderson are the current RAW Tag Team champions after defeating The Revival and The Usos a few weeks ago.

#4. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross to turn face?

One of the matches on the pre-show was for the Women's Tag Team title, where newly-crowned Women's Tag Team champions, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross won the titles on the SummerSlam go-home show of RAW, winning a four-way elimination tag team match.

The new champs defended their title at SummerSlam against former champions, The IIconics, and they got the win after Bliss landed the Twisted Bliss on Billie Kay to successfully defend their titles for the first time.

WWE teased a possible face turn for the current Women's Tag Team champions, which was evident in Corey Graves' commentary, who usually supports the heels but wasn't praising Bliss and Cross during the match at SummerSlam.

This could have been a one-off as both teams have been heels lately, but this could also be a hint that Bliss and Cross could be babyface champions on WWE television.

#3. Rematch between Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton

Randy Orton and Kofi Kingston

The build towards the match between Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton ahead of SummerSlam 2019 was very interesting as WWE used real-life heat between the two Superstars, that happened a decade ago, in the storyline.

But the result of the match at SummerSlam was confusing and surprising for many. Kingston retained the title after a double count-out as the two brawled out in front of Kingston's family, who were ringside.

This feud has taken a very personal turn, akin to what happened between AJ Styles and Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship last year. We could possibly see Kingston and Orton feud for a few more weeks, perhaps even till the next PPV, Clash of Champions, which takes place on September 15.

Kingston's run as WWE Champion has dragged on and been uninspiring over the last month or two and needs a fresh lease of life, which Orton could probably add to the feud.

#2. End of feuds

Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens at SummerSlam

SummerSlam could possibly see the end of various feuds on WWE RAW and SmackDown. Becky Lynch, the RAW Women's champion, will most likely move on from her feud with Natalya, while the same could happen to her partner and new Universal Champion, Seth Rollins.

AJ Styles and Ricochet have had a great rivalry over the last month, following Styles' heel turn, and after Styles' win over Ricochet at SummerSlam, where he retained his United States title, he could also move on to a new feud.

Kevin Owens won his match against Shane McMahon and will stay in WWE as the stipulation for the match said that Owens would quit WWE if he lost to McMahon. He could also move on to a new feud, possibly with someone like Elias, who has been McMahon's stooge over the last few months.

#1. Brock Lesnar to take another break

Brock Lesnar lost the Universal title at SummerSlam

Brock Lesnar, surprisingly, lost his match against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam, in turn losing the Universal title, which he won from Rollins at last month's Extreme Rules PPV. Although we have seen him more often following his surprising return at Money in the Bank PPV, Lesnar is still a part-time Superstar, who features more before a big PPV, like SummerSlam.

WWE have two "B" PPVs in Clash of Champions and Hell in a Cell next, which means that we may not see The Beast for a while. This means that Rollins will possibly feud with someone like Baron Corbin or Drew McIntyre once again over the next few weeks on RAW.

Lesnar could possibly return ahead of the Crown Jewel PPV, the second Saudi Arabia PPV of the year, which is set to be held on October 31.
