5 things that need to happen at SummerSlam 2018

SummerSlam
The Biggest Party of the Summer

The 31st edition of WWE SummerSlam is just around the corner. SummerSlam comes to us from Barclays Center, Brooklyn on 19th August 2018, and the card is shaping up fast. Every title on the main roster is going to be defended on the second biggest Pay Per View of the year (even Brock Lesnar will defend the Universal Championship).

Several matches have been confirmed, and the card looks great. The fans can't wait for SummerSlam. Considering the card, except for one match - and that's probably going to be the main event, the show is going to be fantastic.

WWE will give us many decisions and surprises, let us talk about the things that should definitely happen at SummerSlam.


#5 The B-Team loses Raw Tag Team titles

B-Team has been undefeated in recent weeks

The B-Team consisting of Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel have been entertaining in recent weeks. At Extreme Rules, they won the Raw Tag Team titles by beating Bray Wyatt and 'Woken' Matt Hardy.

But the fact is there are more deserving tag teams on Raw like Authors of Pain and The Revival on the roster. The Raw Tag Team division has been stale in recent weeks. More worthy and better teams should become champion.

We still don't know who is going to face The B-Team. The fans would love to see a triple threat or fatal-four way Tag Team Championship match. The fans would love to see The Revival becoming champions as their push is long overdue. Also, this would make the division better and a must watch.


#4 Becky Lynch should win the gold

Everyone would love to see this happen again

The Irish Lass Kicker is probably the most underrated women's wrestler in WWE. The inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion hasn't been anything more than Charlotte's sidekick on SmackDown.

But finally after two long years, we might see what we all are waiting for. She won eight consecutive matches (which includes defeating the current Women's Champion), she is going to get a SmackDown Women's title match at SummerSlam.

Talking about Carmella, her title reign has been underwhelming and her reign has only decreased the credibility of Charlotte and Asuka. The worst thing about her is she can't wrestle, but still WWE has let her keep the title for four months.

What would be a better stage and better opponent for Carmella to lose the title to than Becky Lynch at SummerSlam?

Becky needs to be a champion again, and the best thing right now for WWE is to put the title on Becky Lynch. The fans have been wanting it, and it will also give us a champion who can actually wrestle!

#3 Roman Reigns wins the Universal Title and Kevin Owens cashes in

<p>
We are going to see this again at SummerSlam

We are going to see it again, WWE certainly hasn't learned from its mistakes. Once again it is likely going to be the main event.

Back at WrestleMania, no one cared what was happening in the ring. Again at the Greatest Royal Rumble, the crowd wasn't invested. But still it seems no one can stop this match from happening again.

With regards the challenger, every hardcore wrestling fan loathes him. It is not that The Big Dog is bad at wrestling, but the booking decisions have made him look like a real heel. After defeating Bobby Lashley this week, Roman Reigns has booked his ticket to Suplex City.

With regards the champion, one thing is for sure - he doesn't deserve to be a champion for too long. He has been a champion for more than 470 days, but still has only defended his title eight times. Raw's biggest prize has lost all credibility thanks to Brock Lesnar. Raw needs a champion who shows up every week.

WWE is finally thinking about Roman beating Brock as they have a backup plan - the Money in the Bank Contract, currently held by Braun Strowman. But he is likely going to defend it against Kevin Owens.

Currently it is speculated that Kevin Owens might win the contract. If that happens, what would be a better scenario than KO cashing in on an exhausted Roman Reigns, giving us a new champion in the form of Owens?

Not only will it help Kevin Owens regain his title, but it also gives us a champion who shows up every week.

#2 Ronda Rousey is distracted by Stephanie McMahon and somehow Alexa Bliss is still the champion

We might see this at SummerSlam, but in a different way

Ronda Rousey has had only two matches in a WWE ring, but she has proven what she can do. Her debut match at WrestleMania was Match of the Night, and her match against Nia Jax was also great.

On the other hand, Alexa Bliss has been in the women's title picture since she debuted on the main roster.

She is a former 2 time SmackDown Women's Champion and a 3 time and current Raw Women's Champion. The fans are bored of her wrestling, and possibly her title reigns. She is seemingly not that good a wrestler.

The fans would love to see Ronda doing short work of Alexa Bliss and become Raw Women's Champion. But, WWE should try something else. Stephanie McMahon still has some unfinished business with Ronda Rousey.

We should see Ronda making Alexa tap out. However, the referee is knocked out by Stephanie who brings someone either from NXT or Raw, and Alexa somehow retains. It will make the storyline interesting and make Ronda a complete underdog who is fighting for her dream to finally become a Women's Champion.

#1 Samoa Joe puts AJ Styles to sleep and becomes WWE Champion

<p>
It is the time Samoa Joe becomes champion

AJ Styles is currently one of the best wrestlers in the world, and arguably the best wrestler in WWE. He is a 2 time and current WWE Champion as well as one of the most beloved wrestlers in the world. He is a great champion and can put on classics with anyone. He has been the WWE Champion for more than 270 days.

On the other hand, Samoa Joe is a perfect combination of strength and technical ability. The man can walk or run faster than a man half his size and age. The two time NXT Champion and the longest reigning ROH World Champion is considered one of the most dangerous wrestlers on the planet.

The Phenomenal One and The Samoan Submission Machine have also crossed paths on TNA and ROH, and have always put on classics. Both are former TNA World Champions and were key players.

They are again going to face each other at SummerSlam for the first time inside a WWE ring. The fans can't wait to see this happen, as everyone knows they are again going to put on a classic.

Considering how great of a wrestler Samoa Joe is, WWE should let him win this match. AJ Styles has been a champion for very long and the fans desperately need a new champion.

Samoa Joe is possibly the best heel on the main roster. Samoa Joe is a superstar who can give great promos and matches. WWE should consider Samoa Joe as the new WWE Champion, and give Joe his first title reign on the main roster, birthing diverse dream feuds.
