Brock Lesnar defeated Goldberg to become the Universal Champion at WrestleMania 33. Since then, he has put away almost every opponent with utmost ease.

Let us speculate about 5 potential finishes for this massive match. Will the match end with one of the two men picking up a clean pinfall? Or instead, will it end with a surprise finish that nobody saw coming?

At this stage, all we can do is speculate. Therefore, I invite you folks to leave a comment in the section below and let me know how you think this match will play out at SummerSlam.

Right now, your guess is as good as mine!


#5 Brock Lesnar retains his championship clean, once again

Brock Lesnar has been showcased as a powerhouse during his current run as champion. So many superstars have stood in his path, but each one has been mowed down with utmost ease, time and time again. While the rumour mills suggest that his time as champion is coming to an end, what if WWE shocks us all?

I can absolutely imagine Brock Lesnar demolishing Roman Reigns and walking away as the Universal Champion. Isn't this exactly what happened at WrestleMania 34 when everyone assumed that we were in for a title change? Isn't this exactly what happened at the Greatest Royal Rumble, which was assumed as the site of Reigns being crowned champion?

The fact of the matter is that while many assume they know what Vince McMahon is thinking, most fans haven't a clue! Do not be surprised if you see Brock Lesnar still standing tall as the reigning, defending, undisputed champion.

#4 Braun Strowman cashes in his Money in the Bank contract

Don't forget that there's a monster lurking in the background!

Many fans are surprised that Braun Strowman hasn't been the Universal Champion already. He is over with the fans, he is a featured attraction on RAW and yes, he holds the Money in the Bank contract as well. I think it is quite possible indeed that he will cash in his contract when the time is opportune, when Lesnar has been knocked out cold! What better site for the cash-in than SummerSlam in Brooklyn?

Strowman could embark on a brand new reign with the Universal Champion as a dominant monster much like Brock Lesnar was. The only difference between the two would be that Strowman would defend the Championship on a regular basis. Strowman also looks like a legitimate threat for a Beast like Brock Lesnar.

But that's jumping too far into the future! All I'll say for right now is that there's a likely possibility that Strowman will cash in his Money in the Bank contract at Brooklyn.

#3 Kevin Owens cashes in the contract

Here's a possibility that you might not have considered yet. Kevin Owens could win the contract from Braun Strowman earlier during the night. And then, when Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar have knocked each other out, he could cash his contract in. This would make him the first ever 2-time Universal Champion.

Expect the wily veteran to pull some dastardly tricks when the main event of SummerSlam is underway.

#2 Roman Reigns defeats Brock Lesnar with a spear

Can Roman Reigns finally defy the odds and pick up a clean victory over Brock Lesnar when the two bulls collide? This isn't out of the realm of possibility, at all. Brock Lesnar is on his way out and WWE may want to portray Roman Reigns as the Beast Slayer.

After all, he did seem like the more dominant performer in Saudi Arabia. It was only the nature of the match that helped Brock Lesnar retain the championship. I can absolutely imagine Reigns picking up a clean win at SummerSlam.

Will the fans be happy with such a victory? Probably not, but Vince McMahon probably doesn't care either!

#1 Paul Heyman helps Roman Reigns win the title

Nobody threatens Paul Heyman and gets away with it. Not even the reigning, defending, undisputed Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar. After the events on RAW, Heyman may have revenge on his mind at SummerSlam. And this may cause him to help Roman Reigns become champion.

Could we see Roman Reigns turn heel and become a Paul Heyman guy? This may be the most exciting possibility for WWE after the departure of Brock Lesnar. The sadistic duo could certainly make the product very exciting again.

So, I've suggested 5 potential finishes for the big match at SummerSlam 2018. Chime in with your own thoughts about the contest.

Whatever the result may be, everyone's going to be talking about this match when it's over and done!
