Predicting who will be the champions in WWE once SummerSlam rolls around

#1 Universal Champion - Seth Rollins

The Beastslayer, like Kingston, should hold his title until SummerSlam.

Like Kingston, Rollins triumphed at 'Mania and wrested the Universal Championship from 'the Beast Sporadic', Brock Lesnar. Anyone who was going to defeat Brock Lesnar was going to be treated like a big deal. It happened with Reigns and Rollins was built up for almost a year as one of the biggest deals in WWE.

For that reason, I don't see him losing the title any time soon. He might hold it until the Fall or even the Royal Rumble. But concerning SummerSlam, I think he walks into the PPV holding the red belt.

But after that, anything is game. Drew McIntyre will likely win the Money in the Bank match for the men, so he'll be lurking for most of 2019. Hopefully he won't be booked to cash it in right away because Rollins should continue to carry Raw for the rest of the year. McIntyre will likely be the next Universal Champion, but it should happen after the Summer.
