WWE SummerSlam 2018: 13 last-minute predictions

#8 Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Jeff Hardy (United States Championship)

Much of this storyline has revolved around Randy Orton

The only way Jeff Hardy stands a chance of walking out of SummerSlam as United States champion is if Matt Hardy makes a surprise switch to SmackDown Live and helps him out against Shinsuke Nakamura, countering the threat of Randy Orton in the process.

As intriguing as that would be, is it likely to happen? Probably not, so let’s play it safe and predict that Nakamura will retain his title.
