5 Shocking Ways SummerSlam 2018 Will End

While SummerSlam's match-card is lackluster and predictable, a certain shift in the mindset of the management backstage could possibly make it the best show of the year.

The WWE Universe is certainly not invested at the idea of an official Roman Reigns' coronation to end the show.

Vince McMahon's desire to push Roman Reigns to the moon might not work well with the fans and if the show needs to end on a high, it must leave the fans in shock with their eyes wide open.

The company has not yet decided on a clear outcome for the match but with Money in the Bank briefcase also up for grabs this Sunday, a lot could transpire by the time the show ends in Brooklyn.

Here are the 5 shocking ways SummerSlam 2018 will end this Sunday.

#5 Brock Lesnar wins clean and ends the night by brutalizing Roman Reigns

This is a strong possibility

Taking his UFC ambitions into consideration, there's a lot of business Vince McMahon could do by letting Brock Lesnar compete for both companies.

Roman Reigns has failed to defeat the Beast Incarnate in the last three encounters and that only suggests that Lesnar could snatch a clean victory again this Sunday.

However, recent SummerSlam events have ended abruptly with Brock Lesnar concluding the bout in controversial fashion. His matches against the Undertaker and Randy Orton have ended in a lot of controversy.

Considering the fans are not invested in the idea of having either of the two competitors as their Universal Champion, this could end on a very dejected note.

With the management so adamant in creating an Underdog persona around the Big Dog, Roman Reigns could conclude the event by getting brutally assaulted at the hands of the Beast Incarnate.

#4 Braun Strowman cashes in his contract before the bell rings and makes it a Triple-Threat match for the Universal Championship

This could blow the roof off the place

There's no denying that Braun Strowman's monstrous persona might not sit well with his Universal Championship reign.

Cashing-in his contract at the end of the night to become the next Universal Champion could certainly leave us at the edge of our seats. However, a more acceptable opinion would be to cash-in his contract even before the bell rings.

Braun Strowman's character demands annihilation and in-your-face demolition, and if the company is willing to shock the fans with a different outcome, then they need to push the envelope by making it a triple-threat match.

Destroying both Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns on a single night could very well establish the Monster Among Men as a force to reckon with after the biggest party of the summer.

#3 Roman Reigns overcomes all odds and defeats Brock Lesnar to a chorus of boos

Enough of the Big Dog's coronation saga

There's no way you can end the biggest party of the summer with the Big Dog's hand held high without any significant alteration in his character.

Judging by how the Greatest Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 34, there's a slight belief in the company to book Roman Reigns as the Ultimate Underdog.

An Underdog that will overcome all odds this Sunday and finally slay the Beast. However, no matter how many times WWE continue to push Roman Reigns in the same way, the outcome will be the same.

Defeating Brock Lesnar clean at SummerSlam seems like a strong possibility and with the Beast Incarnate having the last laugh on the Go-Home Episode of Raw, the odds are stacked against the Big Dog.

Therefore, a strong possibility with the Big Dog defeating Brock Lesnar clean to win the Universal Championship will be met with a chorus of boos.

#2 The biggest party of the summer ends up being the Kevin Owens Show

The true Prizefighter has returned

In what could be one of the most shocking moments in WWE history, Kevin Owens capturing the MITB briefcase and winning the Universal Champion on the same night is a strong possibility.

Considering the fact that WWE's flagship show is lacking some credible heels at the moment, the Prizefighter could step up to the occasion and ruin the Big Dog's coronation.

With the fans already uninterested in seeing a part-time Universal Champion in Brock Lesnar, the focus could certainly shift towards a far more agile and edgy heel.

While there's no denying that Owens' credibility as a performer is getting diminished on a weekly basis, with the former Universal Champion constantly finding out ways to escape the wrath of Braun Strowman.

Shocking the world by snatching the prize in the main event could definitely blow the roof off the place and end the night with a shocker.

#1 Roman Reigns turns heel and joins hands with the 'Mastermind of Professional Wrestling'

The world is watching this Sunday

If you're a die-hard fan of the WWE product and you're certainly disappointed with the way things are panning out on Raw, then you know that the Big Dog needs to turn heel to save his career.

The fans were very intrigued at the prospect of Paul Heyman aligning with Roman Reigns to face the Beast Incarnate at SummerSlam.

However, it all fell through when Heyman pulled off a swerve on the Big Dog and left him blinded in the middle of the ring, only to be attacked by Brock Lesnar.

While the creative team are adamant to push the Big Dog as a sympathetic babyface, things have never worked well for the former WWE Champion whenever he steps foot to face Brock Lesnar in singles action.

Failing to defeat him three times could coerce Roman Reigns to pull off a sensational transformation in his character and turn heel.

Imagining that Heyman uses the same pepper spray to blind Brock Lesnar might help the Big Dog finish what he couldn't end on his own.

Joining hands with Paul Heyman could definitely bring more attention and legitimacy to Roman Reigns as a main-event threat.
