#3 KO is forced to quit WWE

What if things don't work out in KO's favor?

During mid-2019, Kevin Owens became furious with Shane McMahon due to the latter taking up more and more screen time each week from other wrestlers. As weeks went by, he continued to use his mic skills to great effect and attacked Shane whenever he got the chance to.

Despite Shane's attempts to ban Owens from SmackDown, Owens would nevertheless show up and attack Shane at opportune moments. This led to Owens challenging Shane to a match at SummerSlam during the Raw Reunion episode. To make matters exciting, Owens said he would quit the WWE if he were to lose.

While it’d be a shame to see such a talented budding wrestler quit WWE, there must be some reason the stipulation has been set in such a way that Shane’s career is not at risk even if he loses.

Whether WWE is giving away the result of the match already, or they actually have a surprise in store for the fans remains to be seen. However, if Owens does cleanly lose to Shane at SummerSlam, WWE would end up delivering a stunner to the fans!

#2 Ziggler rolls over a legend

Ziggler tried to prove that he's ready for Goldberg during SmackDown this week

Dolph Ziggler has been poking fun at Hall of Famers for a large part of his career as a heel. He has managed to make a mark more often than not, and seems to be on track to be a future Hall of Famer himself!

One man he has poked fun at and mocked very often is none other than Shawn Michaels. While there was a chance that the Heartbreak Kid would come out of retirement and face the man who has been termed as his imposter for a major part of his career, it’ll be Goldberg who’ll be returning to take on The Showoff.

Ziggler had been taking verbal shots at Goldberg for some time, and also mocked his entrance on SmackDown Live. However, fans are convinced that Goldberg will pick up a quick victory to redeem himself and wipe the bad taste his previous match with The Undertaker left.

But there’s still an iota of a chance that WWE would stun everyone and astonishingly book Ziggler to win. This would only be possible if Goldberg is returning to put a superstar over, and also to give Ziggler one final huge push late into his career.

If Ziggler loses, he’d lose almost all his credibility as his return has seen him lose in regular and championship matches.

#1 Natalya becomes the red brand leader

Will Natalya walk out of SummerSlam as the new Raw Women's Champion?

Becky Lynch won the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 35 and has since successfully defended the title against many worthy opponents.

At SummerSlam this year she will face a new opponent in the form of The Queen of Hearts Natalya, who won the Number 1 contenders match to earn her spot.

In the past couple of weeks, Natalya has shown a new type of ferocity which we haven’t seen from her in the past. This is something that was missing from her character for some time, and she now seems more complete than she did in the past.

While the odds are in Becky Lynch’s favor, with many fans even expecting Ronda Rousey to return at the conclusion of the match and demand a rematch for her title from Lynch, things could get even more surprising.

What if WWE startles everyone by booking Natalya to pick up a clean win in the submission match? Since Lynch is currently the face of the women’s roster, and also of WWE to some extent, it would send waves across the WWE Universe and Natalya would certainly get a chance to prove her worth late into her career.
