It's the second biggest event of the year and there's a lot at stake. Whether you're a fan of the card or not, the grand event is going to alter and change the course of the storylines for months to come, maybe even having future WrestleMania implications.

The two marquee matches, as stated on the poster are Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar 4 and Ronda Rousey vs Alexa Bliss. Both sides of the brand feature some very strong match-ups, but will it go down the way fans hope it will?
There's the obvious expectation of Roman Reigns defeating Brock Lesnar, as the WWE Universe is eagerly anticipating a full-time Universal Champion, seemingly even willing to settle for Roman Reigns.
There's a lot at stake with almost every title match and Braun Strowman even has to put his Money In The Bank briefcase on the line, with that being said, there's a lot that could go wrong at the biggest party of the summer, and to avoid that, here's what WWE should avoid doing.
#5 Have Braun Strowman lose the MITB briefcase
If you're not yet aware, Braun Strowman has to put his Money In The Bank briefcase on the line against his nemesis Kevin Owens. This was after Owens requested Stephanie McMahon for the match. While Kurt Angle denied him the opportunity, calling it "ridiculous", the RAW commissioner seemed to have thought otherwise.
It's obvious that Kevin Owens is the underdog here, but he does hold a victory over Braun Strowman in a steel cage match, albeit after being thrown from the top onto the announce table.
With that being said, you could argue that the match favours Owens because he simply needs to win by count out or disqualification to win the MITB briefcase. While Owens holding the briefcase would suit him and is a dream scenario, Braun has all the momentum on his side, and it truly is time for him to become the Universal Champion at some point soon, if not immediately at SummerSlam.
#4 Have Brock Lesnar retain the Universal Championship
It's very evident that WWE is aware of the fans' disdain for Lesnar as Universal Champion. He hasn't defended it since the end of April and WWE is playing off the fact that Lesnar doesn't care about the fans nor the title, but simply cashing in a fat paycheck.
Lesnar will reach 504 days as champion at SummerSlam and its high time there's a payoff to the story. Many fans are in fact expecting Lesnar to lose just like they did at WrestleMania 34, but this time around, it's time to put a halt to this once and for all.
It's better for WWE, the fans and for Brock Lesnar to lose the title so he can go and train for his upcoming UFC Heavyweight Championship fight against Daniel Cormier.
#3 Make Becky Lynch take the pinfall
Becky Lynch was low-key having the best streak on all of SmackDown Live, male or female. Her win streak led her to defeat the champion in a non-title match to earn a singles match at SummerSlam for the SmackDown Women's Championship.
After earning her first title shot in over a year, yet another obstacle was added after the returning Charlotte seemed to have stolen her thunder, earning her way and making it into a triple threat bout at SummerSlam.
The story of Becky's career has always been eclipsed by Charlotte Flair, making her the sidekick. But WWE is aware of this and seem to be making Becky Lynch the one with the obstacle to overcome.
It would be the wrong time to have her take the pinfall and ruin her momentum in one match just in the name of protecting Charlotte. Although this is likely to happen, it's the wrong decision.
#2 Have Alexa Bliss retain the RAW Women's Championship
It's been far too long that we've been seeing Alexa Bliss as RAW Women's Champion. It seemed like her reign of terror ended at WrestleMania in a good payoff, with Nia Jax triumphing and becoming the new champion.
While Nia Jax didn't set the world on fire as champion, it was something new and fresh. But WWE decided Alexa Bliss needed another title reign and we're back to square one. For too long has she been a heel who's gotten the better of babyfaces without any consequences.
Almost the entire women's division has looked terrible thanks to how strong she's been booked. Since WWE has invested so much time and effort into Ronda Rousey, it makes sense to put the title on her now and end the reign of terror once and for all.
#1 Have Seth Rollins win the Intercontinental Championship
This may seem controversial, but hear me out. This isn't meant to portray Seth Rollins in a negative light. Quite the opposite, in fact. Rollins has arguably been the superstar of the year in WWE.
He's put on great matches consistently, he's more motivated than ever and it's the hottest he's ever been as a babyface. While the Intercontinental title run was a great crown to cap off his Grand Slam champion achievement, it should be viewed more as a stepping stone for Rollins to get back in the Universal title picture.
He hasn't been in the main title picture for a long time now, but he should be. Post-SummerSlam, it should be his time to shine again and if not 2018, 2019 should finally see him capture a world title after three full years.
