5 Unexpected betrayals at SummerSlam that could change the WWE landscape

Betrayal. Betrayal. Betrayal.
Betrayal. Betrayal. Betrayal.

WWE SummerSlam 2021 is on the horizon and will be coming to us from Las Vegas this weekend. The lineup is absolutely stacked and it should be an event worth remembering.

But let's face it. The return of CM Punk to wrestling may just be more exciting than anything on the SummerSlam card. WWE needs to bring out the big twists to remind the world why they are the biggest dogs in town even now.

These five betrayals that could potentially happen at SummerSlam could be WWE's way of doing just that! Let us know which of them could potentially transpire in your opinion, and the ones you don't see happening.

Yes, some of them may just be a little incredulous but that's how the biggest surprises are, aren't they?


#5 At WWE SummerSlam 2021, John Cena betrays the WWE Universe

Look at the lines that John Cena uttered on SmackDown in the post above. He's given us every indication that he will take the Universal Championship to Hollywood. Could we see a long-awaited heel turn from the Cenation leader?

Only this time he doesn't betray a member of the roster, but the entire WWE Universe. A John Cena heel turn may just be an even more noteworthy moment than CM Punk's return to professional wrestling. And then Cena could become a part-time superstar who only shows up for big shows like SummerSlam and WrestleMania.

Fans have yearned for a John Cena heel turn for a very long time now, but it's not happened yet for a variety of reasons. That said, there's no better time to pull the trigger than now when fans least expect it. Imagine how noteworthy The Biggest Party of the Summer would be if such a major swerve was to indeed happen.

#4 Roman Reigns betrays Jimmy Uso for eating the pin at SummerSlam 2021

Another WWE SummerSlam outcome could be Roman Reigns defeating John Cena to retain the Universal Championship. Also on the card is a match between The Usos and The Mysterios for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.

Could Roman Reigns turn on Jimmy Uso, for taking the pin during the match earlier in the night? We could get Jimmy vs. Reigns after SummerSlam, where The Tribal Chief could elevate him in the same way that he elevated his brother!


#3 WWE splits up Dominik and Rey Mysterio

But what if the match goes the other way instead? What if Rey Mysterio eats the pin at WWE SummerSlam 2021 and Dominik Mysterio just can't stomach it at all, turning on his legendary father?

It could lead to a retirement match between Rey and Dominik Mysterio at some point where the latter takes his father's mask and brings his legendary career to an end. And in doing so, the young man becomes the new Rey Mysterio!

#2 WWE Superstars Carmella and Zelina Vega betray Sasha Banks turning her babyface

One of the most highly-anticipated WWE SummerSlam clashes is the rematch between Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

Do you remember how Zelina Vega and Carmella were portrayed as Banks' allies on the latest episode of the Blue brand?

Well, loyalties are fickle in WWE, and at SummerSlam, we could definitely see them coming out to celebrate with Sasha Banks, following her win, attacking her in the process.

This will turn Banks babyface following SummerSlam 2021.


#1 MVP betrays Bobby Lashley at SummerSlam 2021

Bobby Lashley is an established WWE Superstar that doesn't need MVP's help anymore.

Meanwhile, Keith Lee is someone who could use the rub from the veteran following The Biggest Party of the Summer.

Let's assume that The All Mighty comes up short against Goldberg at SummerSlam 2021. Could that influence MVP to leave Lashley for Lee?

The ensuing Bobby Lashley vs. Keith Lee feud could be very interesting indeed, even away from the title picture. A battle between two real bulls.
