WWE, by a method, makes vital changes to its storylines post WrestleMania season. But SummerSlam has time and again become the second soft reset for the company in terms of a shift in storylines in recent years.

Since enthusiasm for the WWE product is higher than regular, promptly when the "greatest event of the summer," we frequently observe that the organization makes various small changes to its programming, its list, and its geniuses.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

In 2017, we saw previous NXT Champion Bobby Roode get called up to SmackDown as one of the greatest moves of the mid-year (in spite of the fact that looking back it didn't work out that well), and in 2018, we've just observed WWE release Randy Orton as a menacing heel on the blue brand.

Here are five noteworthy changes WWE will make at and after SummerSlam.


#1 Returning Superstars turn heel

Dean Ambrose

Outrageous Rules denoted the arrival of one best heel in Orton, however, there are a few other WWE names who have been connected to forthcoming returns.

Dean Ambrose made a quick fashion return in the recent RAW segment where he will be seen accompanying his Shield member Seth Rollins. WWE will have a good storyline backed up for the lunatic fringe once he hits the ring. Jason Jordan backstage segments are doing good rounds to send the audience into an uproar for a better return.

In the meantime, The Undertaker and John Cena have both been connected to potential returns sooner rather than later. Cena is slated to return at a live event in China. Rey Mysterio is likewise supposedly near achieving another agreement with the organization that would see him back in the ring sooner than expected.

In spite of the fact that WWE do not, as of now, have an issue with an absence of ability (other than on the heed side of Raw), it unquestionably won't hurt the organization to get a flood of star capacity to help battle the falling TV ratings.

Cena, specifically, is an enormous draw while the rumors and solid YouTube buzz produced by Rey Mysterio's Royal Rumble return demonstrates he could be too. On the off chance that booked right, the increments of Ambrose and Jordan could likewise give a noteworthy lift to Raw, which urgently needs another heel or two.

#2 End of a Phenomenal reign

AJ Styles

AJ Styles, who already held the WWE Championship for 140 days, is moving toward 300 days amid his current WWE title rule. A noteworthy accomplishment for a Superstar who is never less in talent and never short of an exemplary performance.

Positively, Styles' reign has worked ponders regarding making him a dependable boss, top star and maybe even WWE's No. 2 stock mover, yet he's held the title so long now that he wouldn't be harmed in the smallest by dropping the belt to one of SmackDown's best heels sooner rather than later.

Styles, all things considered, is probably not going to hold the WWE Championship for whatever length of time that Brock Lesnar has held the Universal title, so it's protected to accept that he'll be losing it inside the following couple of months. Early wagering chances recommend he'll lose it to Joe at SummerSlam or in the PPV after that.

#3 Brock Lesner Conundrum

Brock Lesnar will defend the Universal title against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam and is promoted for Raw the next night. However, he isn't publicized for any more WWE appearances from that point onward, demonstrating he might leave WWE as he gets ready to come back to UFC.

There has been a plenty of clashing reports about precisely what Lesnar's future holds. however, a significant number of those reports demonstrate that his present contract closes in August and that he still can't seem to sign another agreement with the organization.

That would persuade that one of two things will go down at SummerSlam: Lesnar will at last drop the Universal Championship, or he will hold his title and vanish until the point when WWE can choose what to do with its no-show Champion. As an ongoing report shows he wants to work for both WWE and UFC pushing ahead.

#4 Braun Strowman as Universal Champion

Braun Strowman has been booked really well for someone who falls in the same list as Lesner. The fact that his Money In The Bank contract was shown no significance for the upcoming Championship match, raises concerns.

As Strowman keeps on producing rooftop audience responses, there's no motivation behind why he shouldn't be Universal Champion sooner rather than later, if not at SummerSlam. So putting the Universal title on a demonstrated draw in Strowman is a coherent move that would both tackle the Lesnar problem and guarantee Raw's best boss is somebody who fans need to see holding the title.

While the Kevin Owens match poses a few problems, it's quite stated already that someone like Braun Strowman doesn't necessarily need a contract to settle old odds with Roman Reigns. That is, if supposedly Reigns is the next Champion.
