It is very difficult to pull off surprises in WWE without a live crowd in the building. WWE, to their credit, has been trying different things consistently to ensure that those watching at home are entertained, during these trying times.
But now comes their biggest test, in the form of SummerSlam 2020. No, WWE was not prepared for WrestleMania and as a consequence, I think that it is safe to say that it was perhaps the weakest WrestleMania in the history of the entire event.
But now, WWE has had time to acclimatize itself to shows without a live audience, and to make SummerSlam memorable, it really needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat to make it seem different from your regular show from the WWE Performance Center. The following twists and turns could go a long way in that regard.

#5 Bray Wyatt starts a brand new faction in WWE with Alexa Bliss as Sister Abigail
A new Wyatt Family is never a bad idea, especially if it contains new members considering that neither Luke Harper nor Erick Rowan is currently employed by WWE. Honestly, Aleister Black could be a great henchman for Bray Wyatt, considering that he's been teasing a new WWE character, and so could Bo Dallas, a man who has been sitting on the sidelines, doing nothing at all.
And the matriarch of it all could be Alexa Bliss, who goes from a Goddess to a dark occult figure, and who is perfectly suited to play this particular role.
Braun Strowman could have a fantastic run, battling these unnatural forces and trying to win back the hand of the woman he loves, to return her to normalcy again. It could make for very compelling television indeed.
#4 Otis cashes in on brand new WWE Champion Randy Orton following his win
Randy Orton is likely to become the brand new WWE Champion this month, especially if you consider the depths that RAW viewership has been sinking to, in these past few months. Drew McIntyre would have been a fantastic WWE Champion had the title been around his waist when there were fans in the arena.
So, Randy Orton is a trusted commodity, and putting the title around his waist could be a surefire way to get people to start watching WWE RAW again. But could a cash-in happen during an episode of RAW, out of nowhere with Otis showing up and announcing, shortly after Orton's win, that he will be a member of the RAW brand?
There's just something very exciting about a title program between Otis and Randy Orton that just feels right.
Randy Orton is one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time, and so it's easy to root for him, but going up against a beloved babyface like Otis will ensure that he remains a heel.
#3 Ricochet stuns the world by joining The Hurt Business and going heel for the first time in his entire WWE career
So while the entire WWE Universe wants Cedric Alexander to go rogue and join The Hurt Business as MVP's henchman, there is a definite possibility that it will be Ricochet who does. Even though the man came in with a lot of momentum, his WWE run has never been the same since his crushing defeat to Brock Lesnar.
Sure, Ricochet may have to work a less flashy style when he goes heel but he can really tear it up in the United States Championship picture with Apollo Crews in a series of fantastic matches, after the Champion (or is he?) inevitably settles his score with MVP leaving the WWE veteran with no choice but to summon Ricochet.
WWE needs surprises and Ricochet needs a fresh way to revive his career and in this way, both objectives may be achieved. I would even love to see him tear it up with someone like Seth Rollins down the line.
#2 WWE Superstar Sonya Deville is shaved bald by Mandy Rose
We've all been watching WWE long enough to know that Sonya Deville cutting Mandy Rose's hair is leading to some kind of hair vs. hair match. Yes, it is always possible that Mandy Rose will be shaved bald as a result, but anyone who's watched WWE for any length of time knows that it is the heel, who suffers this consequence. The audience at home gets to see the heel become embarrassed and they go home (or rather stay home) happy.
Plus, if Sonya Deville loses her hair, it will make her seem more lethal and aggressive than ever.
So, yes, I think it is very likely that Sonya Deville will be shaved bald, most probably at SummerSlam, which takes place later this month. It may not signal the end of her career, by any stretch of the imagination, but may take her to brand new heights of stardom in WWE, as it did with people who came before her like Kurt Angle and many others.
#1 Samoa Joe returns from the commentary desk to the WWE ring, to help Dominik out
In case I haven't mentioned it already, you really need to subscribe to our YouTube page to stay up-to-date with some exciting content from the world of WWE and pro wrestling. In addition to interesting features like the video linked above, we regularly conduct interviews with a wide variety of pro wrestling stars as well.
Well, one of the rumors doing the rounds is that Rey Mysterio's contract is up and one does not know whether he will actually re-sign with WWE or not. In case he does not, Dominik Mysterio will be short a partner, relying on the likes of Humberto Carillo to fend Seth Rollins off, following Aleister Black's eye injury.
Samoa Joe could make a triumphant return to the WWE ring when the time is right.
What he really needs at this time is a feud with someone major, and there's no bigger heel in the company at the moment than Seth Rollins.. The two men have incredible chemistry while working with one another and could have an exciting feud.
