Summerslam is just about here. We thought that we would take a look at some potential surprises that could happen at the event.
9) Dean Ambrose Turns On Seth Rollins
Let’s start with one that has been discussed a lot since Dean Ambrose returned from injury. That would be Dean turning on Seth Rollins to cost him his Intercontinental Championship match at Summerslam. Dean would turn heel in the process and we would be off and running with a Dean-Seth feud for the next several months.
This is a very popular theory that has been floating around. I think that a lot of fans just want to see heel Dean Ambrose and potentially Dean vs Seth at Wrestlemania 35.
It is probably way too soon for a turn to happen but that won’t stop fans from talking about it. This is a surprise that could happen but I am not putting any money down on it.
8) Ronda Rousey Picks Up Her First Loss
Ronda Rousey is the heavy favorite heading into her RAW Women’s Championship match against Alexa Bliss at Summerslam. I think that most fans will be picking Ronda to walk out as the new Champion.
A major surprise that could happen would be Alexa handing Ronda her first-ever loss in WWE. This would obviously have to come after some outside interference because Ronda isn’t going to lose clean. If this happens, it would be because WWE doesn’t want Ronda to go on an unbeaten streak (we all know what happened to Asuka after she got called up to the main roster). It also might be because they aren’t ready to make Ronda Champion after only a few matches under her belt.
WWE is pushing Ronda to the moon at the moment but we can’t forget about Bliss. She has been Champion for half of the time that she has been on the WWE main roster. It seems farfetched but WWE could have Alexa hand Rousey her first WWE loss.
7) Kevin Owens Wins The WWE Universal Championship
Kevin Owens will have a chance to win the Money in the Bank briefcase at Summerslam in his match against Braun Strowman. If Owens wins the match in any way (including disqualification), he wins control of the briefcase.
A popular fan theory going around is that Owens will win control of the briefcase from Strowman early in the night. He will later cash in on either Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns to win the WWE Universal Championship. This is backed by the fact that the Hell in a Cell arena is currently advertising Owens vs Reigns for the event. This would make sense as a rematch after Owens wins the Title from Reigns.
It seems unlikely that Owens could potentially get through Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns, and Brock Lesnar to become Champion. Those are some heavy hitters and some names who are booked pretty strong. If Owens is able to walk out with the Title, it will be a surprise but a welcomed one for many fans.
