#1 May Happen - Charlotte Flair vs Trish Stratus

According to rumors, Trish Stratus will return to the ring at WWE SummerSlam 2019

The 7-time Women’s Champion Trish Stratus is rumored to face The Queen of WWE Charlotte Flair in a dream match at SummerSlam. Trish has not wrestled a single match in the year 2019, however, the rumor mill was abuzz with the rumor that Stratus was going to team with Lita to battle for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 35.

Since that match didn't happen, one can imagine that the WWE Creative team would have grander plans for Trish Stratus. The 2019 edition of SummerSlam will take place in Trish Stratus’ hometown of Toronto. So, the possibility that we will get a match between Flair and Stratus is very high.

And seeing Charlotte Flair’s backstage promo on SmackDown Live last week where she claimed herself to be The Queen of All Eras, the WWE Universe is almost guaranteed to witness the dream match between the two gifted athletes.

#1 May Not Happen - Goldberg vs Dolph Ziggler

As per reports, Goldberg has backstage heat

One of the most surprising bouts which the rumor mill has reported could happen at SummerSlam is Dolph Ziggler vs Goldberg. The Myth had returned to the ring at WWE Super ShowDown to collide with The Undertaker in a once in a lifetime match. The match did not live up to expectations because of Goldberg’s ring rust and declination in agility. Hence, the WWE Universe believed this match to be the former Universal Champion’s last ever.

However, the rumor that Goldberg is returning once again has taken the fans by surprise. Looking at the recent developments on WWE TV, it looked like we may get a match between Dolph Ziggler and The Miz at SummerSlam or even a dream bout featuring Ziggler and Shawn Michaels.

Also, a recent rumor states that the WCW star has backstage heat and, there are apparently no plans in place for Goldberg vs Dolph Ziggler at the upcoming pay-per-view.

#2 May Happen - Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs Ali - WWE Intercontinental Championship

Make it happen, Vince!

Two of the most proficient wrestlers on the SmackDown Live roster, Ali and Shinsuke Nakamura are heavily rumored to clash for the prestigious Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam. The Artist of WWE won his first-ever Intercontinental Championship on the kick-off show of WWE Extreme Rules.

His challenger for SummerSlam is yet to be officially announced but, as per the rumor mill, Ali will emerge as Nakamura’s rival.

The former 205 Live Superstar is yet to win his first championship in WWE. However, he has got a solid fan following thanks to his incredible in-ring skills and charisma. Also, given the immense talent that these two Superstars possess, the fans will be in for a real treat at SummerSlam.

The only mistake that WWE should not commit is to book this match for the pre-show.

#2 May Not Happen - The Undertaker vs Drew McIntyre

Local advertisements in Toronto promoted a match between The Dead Man and The Scottish Psychopath at SummerSlam

The Undertaker had joined forces with The Big Dog Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules to counter the duo of Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre. The dream team successfully defeated the heels in the No Holds Barred match and, it seemed like a match between Drew McIntyre and The Undertaker is bound to happen soon.

The rumor that the Undertaker has handpicked Drew McIntyre as his future opponent increased the possibility of this match. Plus, the local advertisements in Toronto promoted this match to happen at The Biggest Party of the Summer which shows that the WWE Creative may have planned this bout.

However, The Dead Man has not appeared on WWE TV since Extreme Rules. Looking at the recent booking decisions, Drew McIntyre may feature in a tag team match, joining hands with Elias to battle Roman Reigns and Cedric Alexander.

Also, Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer has recently stated that there are no plans for The Undertaker to appear on the show.
