Whatever happens, Retribution should definitely not be unmasked this early
Whatever happens, Retribution should definitely not be unmasked this early

It's certainly a very interesting time for WWE fans and the creative staff as well as SummerSlam 2020 draws nearer. No, they were caught unaware by the pandemic many months ago and so WWE couldn't really do justice to WrestleMania, in the eyes of many. But SummerSlam 2020 is a different story because they've had time to prepare and adapt to the circumstances. So, how does the company ensure that WWE SummerSlam 2020 goes off without a glitch?

In this article, we shall focus on 5 things that should not happen at the hottest event this summer and we also invite you to chime in and share your thoughts on whether you agree or disagree with our assessment.


#5 Retribution is unmasked at WWE SummerSlam 2020

A WWE Hall of Famer isn't a John Cena fan. More details HERE

WWE may decide to unmask Retribution at SummerSlam 2020 and this would be a big mistake.

Even though the storyline has received a fair share of criticism, it is quite obvious at this point that Retribution is one of the most engaging things about WWE heading into SummerSlam 2020. There is a degree of uncertainty regarding who is in this mysterious WWE faction and if the storyline comes to a halt at SummerSlam 2020, then it could potentially fizzle all the good out of this angle.

No, this storyline is far from perfect but it does have a fair share of promise at this time, and it should stretch well beyond SummerSlam 2020, and if WWE is able to, should culminate at Survivor Series.

For all the characters to be unmasked at SummerSlam 2020, would just ensure that the invasions that happen on WWE RAW and SmackDown henceforth feel a lot less effective than they actually are right now.

#4 WWE puts the United States Championship around MVP's waist at SummerSlam 2020

MVP is the leader of one of the most intimidating factions in WWE at the moment and even if he does come up short at SummerSlam 2020, he will still be in the thick of things once the event has concluded. On the other hand, Apollo Crews may have all the momentum in the world as the current WWE United States Champion but if he does indeed come up short at SummerSlam 2020, he will slip further down the ranks and may never regain the kind of momentum that he has.

Apollo Crews can go on to defend the United States Championship against the likes of Seth Rollins after SummerSlam 2020 when the feud with MVP is done and dusted for good. WWE may even choose to have him go up against someone like Randy Orton who could honestly elevate Apollo Crews to the next level after SummerSlam 2020. But if he loses the WWE United States Championship, all of this won't be possible.

#3 Both Sasha Banks and Bayley come out of WWE SummerSlam 2020 as Champions

Even though both Sasha Banks and Bayley will defend their Championships against Asuka at SummerSlam 2020, WWE knows that the money feud is between the two of them. In fact, these two talented women have been sowing the seeds for a clash down the line on episodes of WWE RAW and SmackDown and if one of them loses her title at SummerSlam 2020, then the other is likely to become jealous and turn on her, starting a feud that could stretch out over months together.

Plus, for Asuka to lose two big matches at WWE SummerSlam 2020 would derail a lot of the momentum that she has going for her at the moment, even if it is through interference or foul play because the women's division over the past few months has only centered around Sasha Banks and Bayley. It's time for the other women in the WWE roster to get a taste of the spotlight and for Asuka to win a title at SummerSlam 2020 is a step in that direction.

#2 WWE chooses not to let Alexa Bliss get involved in the Universal Championship match at SummerSlam 2020

Either Alexa Bliss sides with WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman at SummerSlam 2020 or she decides to tap into her dark side and become Sister Abigail, siding with Bray Wyatt instead. WWE has this annoying habit of abandoning storylines when they do not know where to go with them, and after the events on SmackDown, for them to leave Alexa Bliss out of the proceedings would be a mistake. Both Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt have, in a sense, attacked Alexa Bliss and at WWE SummerSlam 2020, Alexa Bliss needs to play some kind of role in the outcome.

Yes, it would be far more exciting to see Alexa Bliss embrace the darker side of her persona and align with The Fiend at SummerSlam 2020 for sure.

But WWE would also swerve us all with Alexa Bliss siding with Braun Strowman because she has feelings for the Universal Champion even though he may not necessarily reciprocate those feelings.

#1 Otis becomes the WWE Universal Champion at SummerSlam 2020

Otis has proved, time and again that he is one of the more entertaining Superstars in the WWE roster at the moment, but he isn't ready to become the Universal Champion yet. If he does become the WWE Universal Champion at SummerSlam 2020, the crowd is likely to turn on him, and this is not going to be the best decision for his career, at all.

There is no need to rush the storyline at all because it is amply clear that the Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman storyline needs to conclude at SummerSlam 2020 because it is convoluted enough already, with the presence of Alexa Bliss.

WWE does not need to add yet another element in the form of Otis into this hodge-podge of a storyline. Comedy and horror do not mix unless you're trying to drive the story in that direction and this would be a mistake at SummerSlam 2020.
