SummerSlam 2018 is around the corner and regardless of how interested or disinterested you may be in another Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar match, the show is bound to be good.
WWE's biggest show of the summer comes with a card so 'stacked' that three of WWE's top women aren't even on the card at the time of writing - Asuka, Sasha Banks and Bayley - which is definitely a huge disappointment for many fans.
The kick-off show itself will be pretty good with the Cruiserweight title on the line as well as Rusev and Lana taking on Zelina Vega and Andrade 'Cien' Almas.

Every title in WWE will be defended at SummerSlam. The three biggest matches of the night are Ronda Rousey's first title challenge against Alexa Bliss, AJ vs Joe for the WWE Championship and the aforementioned rematch between Lesnar and Reigns.
#5 Brock Lesnar retains the Universal Championship
This particular rumour has just started picking up steam with reports that Lesnar is set for a high-level meeting with WWE executives right before SummerSlam. The rumour suggests that Lesnar could retain and take the Universal Title to UFC while working for both companies.
If this is true and WWE do go through with it, they may as well pull the plug on Roman Reigns themselves. Roman should have won the title at Mania 34 itself instead of the filler we had to sit through with Brock off TV.
#4 Ronda Rousey wins her first title in WWE
Ronda Rousey will challenge Alexa Bliss for the RAW Women's Championship at SummerSlam. With Mickie James at her side, Alexa could somehow leave SummerSlam with her title with a DQ loss but it seems unlikely.
As of now, Rousey is heavily favoured to win as per the current betting odds, so it looks like Rousey could be ready to win her first piece of gold in WWE.
#3 AJ Styles continues his reign
AJ Styles has now beat JBL's record as the longest reigning world champion on SmackDown. The Phenomenal one's feud with Samoa Joe has been a little strange so far, with Joe focusing on AJ's family in the build, trying to get under Styles' skin.
Styles looks to be the favourite heading into SummerSlam, which begs the question, who will finally beat AJ Styles?
#2 Dean Ambrose turns heel
This rumour has been doing the rounds recently in the lead up to SummerSlam, especially with Dean slotting in in Rollins' corner at SummerSlam. However, with the reception Ambrose got after his return WWE could decide to keep Ambrose as a babyface.
However, a heel turn could help Ambrose elevate himself to a true main-eventer instead of the steady hand in the upper midcard that he's seen as.
#1 Braun Strowman cashes-in
Braun Strowman will fight Kevin Owens for his Money In The Bank contract at SummerSlam but it still looks like Strowman is a favourite to cash in his MITB contract. Regardless of who wins the Universal Championship, it still looks like Strowman will look to cash in his MITB contract at SummerSlam.
What would really be left field is if Strowman cashes in on the winner from AJ vs Joe but there's less than a 0% chance.
