It's impossible to dispute the fact that things have picked up in WWE following SummerSlam, undoubtedly for the better. There is a brand new Universal Champion, a new RAW Women's Champion, a new SmackDown Women's Champion and new Tag Team Champions too. The product is the freshest it's been in ages. How will September compare to the last few weeks?

I have the utmost confidence that WWE could certainly book a fantastic September for fans of sports entertainment. I'm sure they have big plans afoot with Hell in a Cell in the immediate horizon. What plans does WWE have in place to entice us to tune in every week?

I have a feeling that one or more of the events mentioned here could transpire next month. And each of them could shake the product up significantly.

Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts about the surprises mentioned here!


#5 Kurt Angle returns to take out Baron Corbin

Is it time for Angle to return as a wrestler, to the ring?

It must be said that Kurt Angle did a commendable job as General Manager during his tenure on WWE's flagship Monday Night brand. Unfortunately, he was sent on a vacation by his superior, Stephanie McMahon. The rumour right now is that he is training for a big return to the ring, possibly to face Baron Corbin.

I would be completely on board for Angle to return in this particular role. Angle remains one of the best in the business, as he proved when he teamed up with Ronda Rousey to take on Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. It would also give Baron Corbin a chance to work with a legend.

We all know how much Kurt Angle is itching to get back in the ring, judging from just how much he loves the business. I am sure fans are equally on board to see him return to action.

#4 A double turn

Will WWE finally listen to their fans and turn Charlotte Flair heel?
Will WWE finally listen to their fans and turn Charlotte Flair heel?

Yes, Becky Lynch turning heel is perhaps the most exciting thing to happen to her in recent months. And yet, fans have refused to boo her at all, judging from the recent reactions on SmackDown Live. If anything, they boo her babyface rival, Charlotte Flair. Could WWE give the fans what they want and pull off a double turn soon?

Becky Lynch is currently the most over babyface on SmackDown Live, who has Daniel Bryan levels of support. Even though she does extremely heelish things, the crowd eggs her on in her villainous deeds constantly. And this does not look like it's going to change.

Plus, we all know that Charlotte Flair works best as a heel. By having her turn, WWE could get her more over than she has ever been.

#3 Bobby Roode turns heel

Could Bobby Roode excel as a heel on RAW?
Could Bobby Roode excel as a heel on RAW?

The fact of the matter is that Bobby Roode, like his Mixed Match Challenge partner, Charlotte Flair, is a much better heel than he is a babyface. And he has gotten a little lost in the stacked RAW roster. The only way to rescue him and bring him back on track would be to turn him heel. And then, maybe have him feud with top babyfaces like Balor or Lashley, after that!

Will Bobby Roode become the top guy like he was in NXT then? Probably not, but it would be better than what he is currently up to...

#2 Kevin Owens returns to challenge Reigns with Paul Heyman

Kevin Owens lost a match to Seth Rollins this past week. And following the loss, he quit on live TV. Much to the shock of the WWE Universe, he walked out of RAW and wasn't heard from since.

There is a lot of speculation right now about his status. Some have been saying that Kevin Owens may return as a Paul Heyman guy soon. And when he does, he may challenge Reigns for the highly prestigious Universal Championship.

Remember that he never got his rematch for the Universal Championship he lost. With Paul Heyman in his corner, Owens may return to claim the prize once again.

#1 Heel turn from Dean Ambrose

Could we see the dark side of the lunatic fringe?
Could we see the dark side of the lunatic fringe at last?

Fans have been calling for a heel turn from Dean Ambrose for a long time now. They believe that he will fare better as a bad guy. Even if this comes at the risk of breaking up The Shield. We could certainly see a heel turn from Ambrose this month.

He could certainly contest with Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship after that. He could also challenge Reigns for the Universal Championship. So many possibilities exist for this highly talented performer.

Maybe Ambrose will be the next Paul Heyman guy. His career could certainly skyrocket with the devious alliance.
