WWE SmackDown Superstar Sasha Banks returned home last week and proved that she could still go. The former Women's Champion and Bianca Belair pulled off one of the swerves of the century in the main event spot. It is clear that these two women will tear it up at SummerSlam.

That said, we also need a storyline for Sasha Banks following SummerSlam 2021, and it could come from her taking out Sonya Deville! This may even inspire Sonya Deville to announce her big comeback to the wrestling ring.

Shinsuke Nakamura has won the crown from Baron Corbin, sending the Lone Wolf down the road to bankruptcy. It may be time for him to step up to the plate and challenge Apollo Crews for the Intercontinental Championship.

Because of the international nature of this feud, the battle between these two WWE SmackDown Superstars would truly be intercontinental in nature. It may finally be time for Nakamura to achieve his big crowning moment at SummerSlam. In time, he could elevate heels like Otis and Baron Corbin too!
