Let's be honest here.
The simple fact that any number of WWE titles could have a new owner by the time Summerslam goes off the air is awesome enough, but the endless possibilities of who the new champions could be are beyond exciting. in fact, its that rare time of the year, much like Wrestlemania, where anything and everything can happen.

With that being said and Summerslam fast approaching, there are certain things WWE needs to do in order to ring in this new era and it starts with WWE pulling off these five title changes at the pay per view. Of course, some people are going to disagree with these perspectives, but try to see it from the point of view of creating the most positive change in the company.
As always, let us know what you think in the comments below and be sure to let us know which titles you would be most interested in seeing.
#5 Raw Tag team titles.
Whether The WWE Universe wants to admit it or not, The B Team is one of the most poorly constructed tag teams in history and their gimmick is wearing thin. Unfortunately for The B team, that means getting beaten by The Revival at Summerslam, where they will be disposed of like the midcard fodder they are.
In the end, its nothing personal against The B Team, they just have no business in The Tag team division right now with their current gimmick. In fact, the gimmick isn't even interesting enough to keep getting positive reactions from fans, which is another indicator that a change will be made at Summerslam
#4 Smackdown Women's title
WWE needed to make this change a long time ago and while they hopefully will at Summerslam, it seems like the company is setting up for James Ellsworth to interfere somehow. If this is true and that really is what WWE is planning next, it creates a situation where once again The title isn't the focus of the women's division.
That's what it should be, but WWE has decided again and again to go to cheap heat comedy gimmicks with Carmella and James Ellsworth. Not only have these segments succeeded in making Carmella's run with the title into a complete joke, it also started to affect the quality of the division as well.
With that being said, Charlotte or Becky Lynch really need to wrestle the title away from Carmella and do a program that doesn't involve her. Of course, that doesn't mean Carmella can't get a rematch on Smackdown Live the next week, but the important thing is that WWE moves away from Carmella as a title contender.
#3 The title of Mr Money in the bank
What's wrong with Bruan Strowman being Mr Money in the bank?
While many might not think there is one, especially with how over Strowman is as a monster face right now, he is a variable that could ruin what WWE is trying to do with Roman Reigns. In fact, if Bruan Strowman keeps the briefcase and cashes in, it could have drastic effects on the world title picture for the foreseeable future.
The simplest explanation of this is that Reigns is a babyface and so is Bruan Strowman at this point in time. That means fans would be dividing over who to root for if Reigns won the title and Strowman cashes in, which creates a situation for WWE where they have to start from square one in building up Reigns again.
Think about it! As soon as Strowman cashes in, Reigns monumental win will become an afterthought and Strowman will take over the spotlight in the worst way possible. Compare that to Kevin Owens winning, who would is a dastardly heel and would be able to draw the kind of heat needed to get fans behind Reigns and you see what the difference is.
In the end, WWE needs Owens to cash in on Reigns instead of Strowman. Not only does Owen's cash in build the needed sympathy for Reigns to get his title back, it also doesn't force Strowman into a heel role right way. Of course, maybe that's the way WWE is going, but it would ruin years of progress they just made with Strowman.
#2 The Raw Women's Title
It looks like the goddesses reign will finally come to an end at Summerslam and while some fans are probably sceptical of that happening, one has to consider the fact that there isn't much else that WWE can do with this storyline. In fact, besides adding Stephanie McMahon as a referee for the SummerSlam match, it's really impossible to add anything to this match.
Furthermore, the needed result of Rousey winning her first Women's title is obvious and WWE has teased it for long enough already. Maybe Rousey will have a decent title reign and take WWE and the women's division to the heights never thought possible, but it all needs to start with a clean one-sided title victory at Summerslam.
#1 The Universal title
It's finally time for Roman Reigns to take his spot as WWE's top guy and there is no bigger way to do that then to defeat Brock Lesnar for The Universal title. Not only will the moment be the culmination of months of title-chasing by Reigns, it will also put him over as one of the biggest underdog story's The WWE has ever had.
With that being said and how amazingly WWE has booked Reigns over the past couple of months, the sky is the limit for what WWE could do here. WWE could even have Heyman help Reigns win the title and would still probably come out as the good guy. In fact, it might be a catalyst to eventually put Reigns and Heyman together.
In the end, its been a long time coming. WWE has pulled every trick in their arsenal to get fans behind Reigns and they pretty much have a clear shot if they want to take at Summerslam. Whether they actually do that or not is up to them, but its hard to deny that all the pieces aren't there if WWE wants to do it.
