We are merely a few days away from WWE's Biggest Party of the Summer as SummerSlam 2021 will take place this weekend on August 21, live from the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The card for the pay-per-view is stacked with some huge matches like Roman Reigns vs. John Cena for the Universal Championship and Edge vs. Seth Rollins. A total of ten matches have been announced so far, seven of them for championships.

With so much going on in the world of pro wrestling, WWE would like to hit a home run with the event this Saturday and could take some bold decisions.

Let's take a look at five bold predictions for WWE SummerSlam 2021. Be sure to comment down and let us know your thoughts on the same. Which match are you looking forward to the most?


#5 Bobby Lashley defeats Goldberg at SummerSlam, Big E cashes in

WWE Champion Bobby Lashley is set to defend his title at SummerSlam against Goldberg in a short but explosive match.

Considering the booking on RAW recently, it's tough to rule out Goldberg becoming the new WWE Champion at the pay-per-view. However, that would certainly lead to a massive fan backlash. Instead, it would be better for the company to let Lashley go over the former Universal Champion.

A twist in the tale could be that following The All Mighty's successful title defense, Big E could make his way to the ring and cash in his Money in the Bank contract.

The New Day member won the men's Money in the Bank ladder match last month, much to the delight of fans. He has had some hilarious backstage segments with Roman Reigns' special counsel Paul Heyman on SmackDown, teasing a cash-in on the Universal Champion.

However, it would make more sense storyline-wise for him to go after Bobby Lashley to take revenge for his New Day brothers. Big E might walk out of SummerSlam 2021 as the new WWE Champion.

#4 AJ Styles abandons Omos after losing the RAW Tag Team Championships

WWE SummerSlam 2021 will feature RAW Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Omos putting their titles on the line against the fan-favorite duo of Randy Orton and Riddle. The match was made official this week on the Red brand after RK-Bro finally reunited and got a loud pop from the crowd in attendance.

AJ Styles and Omos won the RAW tag titles at WrestleMania 37. While their pairing has been interesting, it might be time for Styles to get back to being an individual competitor.

We might see this happen at the upcoming pay-per-view with the two dropping their titles to RK-Bro and The Phenomenal One ending his alliance with Omos in a backstage segment following their defeat.


#3 Alexa Bliss debuts her new avatar at WWE SummerSlam 2021

Another last-minute addition to the SummerSlam match card has been Alexa Bliss vs. Eva Marie. Bliss would be the favorite to walk out with the victory here and we might also see Doudrop turning on Marie and ending their alliance.

However, Alexa Bliss could also have a massive surprise up her sleeve, debuting a new scarier avatar. She could finally transform into an eerie alter-ego of herself, much like The Fiend. It would also be more exciting to watch than Lilly standing up on her own.

#2 Naomi acknowledges Roman Reigns and officially joins The Bloodline

Roman Reigns and The Usos, together known as The Bloodline, could add a new member to their faction at SummerSlam 2021 in the form of Naomi. The two-time SmackDown Women's Champion is married to Jimmy Uso and could fit into the family storyline perfectly.

We could see The Bloodline in a backstage segment at the event, where Naomi could join them and acknowledge Reigns. This would elevate her status, possibly leading to a feud against Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women's Championship. Imagine The Bloodline holding all the gold on the Blue brand.


#1 Becky Lynch makes her long-awaited return to WWE at SummerSlam

WWE SummerSlam 2021 could see the long-awaited return of The Man, Becky Lynch. A former RAW and SmackDown Women's Champion, Lynch has been away from WWE TV for over 15 months now during which she gave birth to her first child with her husband Seth Rollins.

Over the last several months, there have been speculations and rumors of when she will return to WWE. The latest reports suggest that Becky Lynch will be in attendance at The Biggest Party of the Summer. If that is the case, she could show up and confront either of the RAW or SmackDown Women's Champion at the event, setting up a title feud.
