#7 'The Demon' Finn Balor surprises us
Finn Balor has a demonic problem on his hands with the returning Bray Wyatt debuting the 'Fiend' against him at SummerSlam. Currently, the first-ever Universal Champion isn't planning on donning his 'Demon' persona to counter-act 'The Fiend'.
This seems ill-advised to me, given that Finn Balor is undefeated as 'The Demon' in general. But further than that, SummerSlam is actually The Demon's fortress--The Demon's hunting ground.
Balor has beaten Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt and Baron Corbin in his three SummerSlam matches, and he was 'The Demon' in all three.
Sure, Finn Balor has chosen not to become 'The Demon' in high-profile matches before, like his Universal Title match against Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble. However, he has also surprised the WWE Universe by appearing as 'The Demon' like he did against Baron Corbin at last year's SummerSlam.
Admittedly around this time last year, despite not being officially announced, it was widely reported that Balor was going to surprise everyone as 'The Demon' for SummerSlam and this year that's not the case. But there's still a chance he'll come to his senses and invoke 'The Demon' against a foe like Wyatt.
#6 Ronda Rousey comes back!
When Rousey took time away from WWE after WrestleMania, SummerSlam was always the time she was earmarked to make her return and well, here we are, it's SummerSlam. So Rousey will be back, right?
The stage certainly seems set given that Becky Lynch is still WWE Raw Women's Champion, the title that she won from Ronda Rousey, and that Lynch's SummerSlam opponent is Natalya who was Rousey's biggest onscreen ally. It practically writes itself.
Could we see Ronda Rousey return to help Natalya win the title? Or will she make an appearance after the match to remind Becky Lynch that the rivalry between the two is far from over?
Alternatively, Rousey might decide that her unfinished business with Charlotte is a more pressing matter and could do the same with her. Either way, Rousey coming back to the WWE will definitely give the women's division a much-needed shot in the arm and would blow the roof off of SummerSlam.
That is, of course, if she isn't too busy making films about killer tables.
