#3 Dolph Ziggler retains the IC title/ Dean Ambrose turning on Rollins

Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins have created a great feud

The ongoing feud between Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins has been able to provide some of the best matches in recent times. With SummerSlam approaching, there have been quite a number of speculations and fan theories regarding the outcome of the match. One of the much awaited facts was about how may Seth Rollins counter the two on one situation and that has been answered by adding Dean Ambrose in the mix.

However, what remains to be seen is how things turn out at Summerslam. If things are to be seen, WWE haVE kept the path open for a lot of possibilities. While Seth appears to be in a strong position, we must keep in mind that all the men involved in the match directly or indirectly, have had a history with the title.

In such a case, we might see Dolph Ziggler retaining the title. this would open up a path for a four way feud with all the four men squaring off for the title in the future. We might also see Dean Ambrose turn against his former Shield brother or Drew McIntyre turning against Ziggler in his lust for the title.

#2 Samoa Joe becomes the new WWE Champion

Putting the title on Samoa Joe would open up the path for a great feud

Not only is Samoa Joe one of the most liked heels in the WWE universe, he is also finally in a great feud against AJ Styles. While AJ Styles has been a tremendous champion and has delivered great matches with every single opponent he has faced over the course of his title reign, he has never been involved in a story line as intense as it is this time.

Also, the two men have a long history behind them and we are all aware of the chemistry between these two men that allows them to put up great matches. Putting the title on Samoa Joe would help the WWE create a great feud between the two men provided the WWE uses the storyline wisely.

The kind of mind games that Samoa Joe has been playing can set the stage for AJ Styles displaying a different vulnerable side of his while allowing Samoa Joe to put up a vicious persona.

#1 A new unexpected Universal Champion

The universal Championship match is bound to be unpredictable

Although Paul Heyman appeared to be still on Lesnar's side in the last Raw episode before SummerSlam, his alliance is still a matter of doubt for the WWE universe. While Paul Heyman would definitely act as a deciding factor in the match given his involvement in recent weeks, there could be other ways of making things work out as well. Braun Strowman and Kevin Owens are already set for a match for the Money in the Bank contract.

Given how they were left off the card in the last episode of Raw, this can lead us to believe that they might appear as a surprise at SummerSlam and make their presence felt. Also, taking into account the fact that Brock Lesnar's contract is about to expire, Paul Heyman might be on the lookout for a new 'Paul Heyman guy' to be in the Universal title picture.
