<p>SummerSlam is upon us, and the biggest party of the summer guarantees thrill and excitement for the WWE Universe. SummerSlam has usually been a decent PPV in recent times, and expect the trend to continue with a packed card for this year’s edition.</p>



<p>SummerSlam currently has ten matches on the card, and at least three more are rumored to be added. WWE’s run of solid PPVs in 2019 is on the line with SummerSlam, and hopefully, it lives up to lofty expectations.</p>



<p>It will be the first PPV since the appointment of <strong>Paul Heyman</strong> and <strong>Eric Bischoff</strong> as the Executive Directors of the weekly shows. We look at what WWE should focus on to ensure that SummerSlam is a success.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Should Happen: Bray Wyatt Wins His Return Match</strong></h2>

<p>Bray Wyatt is set to return to in-ring action after a year off of WWE programming. Wyatt’s last match was against Baron Corbin in November last year. Wyatt was one of the most frustrating cases on the main roster until he was repackaged with a new gimmick.</p>



<p>WWE has a fresh and clean slate for Wyatt, and they must ensure that Wyatt’s new persona gets off to a winning start. WWE have booked themselves into a corner by pitting Wyatt against Balor in his very first match since returning, but a hard-fought loss for Balor shouldn’t hurt much.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Should NOT Happen: The PPV Goes Over Four Hours!</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/bthInFj.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>One of the major shortcomings of WWE PPVs has been the duration of the matches, which take the running time of the shows close to five hours. WWE fans are not thrilled with the possibility of drawn-out matches and longer PPVs, and will definitely appreciate shorter and to the point wrestling bouts.</p>



<p>According to rumors, the PPV is set to have close to 14 matches, which is quite a long card for a PPV. WWE must ensure that certain matches aren’t drawn out, and serve the purpose they are intended for.</p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Should Happen: The OC Retain Their Titles</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/QwF1Ofc.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via WWE</figcaption></figure>



<p>AJ Styles is set to defend his US Championship against Ricochet, in a rematch from Extreme Rules. Styles recently reunited with his former Bullet Club members, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to form “The OC”. WWE must ensure that the new faction keep on winning their matches to keep their momentum for an eventual feud against the New Day or the Bloodline.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Should NOT Happen: Charlotte Flair and Trish Stratus Hug After The Match</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/To5LyoR.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>Charlotte is supposed to face WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus at SummerSlam, and baring a miracle, the Queen should emerge victorious. Stratus has declared this to be the final match of her illustrious career, and its quite likely that Charlotte and Stratus break kayfabe after the match. WWE should avoid making this mistake, and build Charlotte as a ultra heel.</p>



<p>Charlotte winning in front a raucous home crowd of Stratus would elevate her status as a heel, and should stand out as the next challenger for SmackDown Women&#8217;s Champion Bayley. Stratus deserves all the applause she&#8217;ll receive after the match, but it should not be at the expense of Charlotte&#8217;s character.</p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Should Happen: Kofi Kingston Takes His Revenge</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/pf8CX8R.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via WWE</figcaption></figure>



<p>Kofi Kingston will be defending his WWE Championship against Randy Orton, his fourth PPV opponent since winning the title at WrestleMania. The Kofi-Randy rivalry is almost a decade in making and goes beyond the Squared Circle. Kingston was apparently kept out of the main-event picture in 2009 due to Randy Orton’s backstage influence, and WWE has integrated this part into their current storyline rather brilliantly.</p>



<p>Kofi Kingston’s reign has been one of the best in recent memory, and could potentially join the G.O.A.T championship reigns club if he overcomes Orton next Sunday.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Should NOT Happen: Samoa Joe Is Off The Card</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/pnzy2L7.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>Samoa Joe is currently not advertised for a match at SummerSlam, neither is he rumored to face any superstar according to backstage reports. Samoa Joe has delivered two of the best matches in the last two SummerSlam events, and he main-evented the 2017 edition.</p>



<p>Joe staying off the card would be a travesty and WWE must find a way to book him for a match at SummerSlam.</p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Should Happen: Sasha Banks Returns</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/HoQSf1q.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>Becky Lynch’s run as the WWE RAW Women’s Champion has been lackluster, with feuds against the likes of Natalya and Lacey Evans not exactly setting things on fire. Lynch needs a proper opponent for her championship and the lack of quality superstars in the female division is appalling.</p>



<p>Ronda Rousey, Nia Jax and Sasha Banks, all left WWE programming after Wrestlemania for various reasons, and that has weakened the division severely. Sasha Banks is fit and raring to go, and WWE should bring out the Boss for a feud against Becky Lynch<br></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Should NOT Happen: Goldberg Gets a Quick Win Over Dolph Ziggler</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/sXQoKib.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via WWE</figcaption></figure>



<p>Bill Goldberg is rumored to be Dolph Ziggler’s opponent at SummerSlam in a match-up which makes zero sense on paper! Goldberg’s last match in WWE was against Undertaker in Saudi Arabia, which turned out to be a massive disaster and a complete botch-fest</p>



<p>WWE should not let a 50-year old superstar return and squash a current superstar. It hurts WWE’s reputation as they would be perceived as a company unable to create new superstars, and it also effectively buries Ziggler’s WWE career.&nbsp;</p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Should Happen: Kevin Owens-Shane McMahon Story Comes To An End</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/EuCSjBN.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>Shane McMahon’s increased appearances on WWE television since the turn of 2019 has been a major concern for the WWE Universe. Kevin Owens’s new gimmick as the People’s Champion led to him calling out jr. McMahaon for his unbearable personality, and set out on a mission to stop Shane McMahon’s tyrrany.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Owens and McMahon will compete in a singles matchup at SummerSlam, and if Owens loses he leaves WWE. WWE must make sure there are no shennaingans and Owens wins the match-up clean as a whistle, estabilishing him as the No.1 babyface in WWE and ending the “Shane McMahon-The Spoilt Brat” storyline once and for all.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Should NOT Happen: Brock Lesnar Squashes Seth Rollins</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/ThCAjHg.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via WWE</figcaption></figure>



<p>Brock Lesnar losing his title to Seth Rollins is highly unlikely, considering the fact he won the title less than a month ago at Extreme Rules. Brock Lesnar will defend the Universal Title at SummerSlam third year in a row, and Rollins will look to regain the championship and become 2x Universal Champion.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, WWE won’t let Brock let go of the titel so easily, and this could lead to a squash match similar to the one Lesnar had against Cena at SummerSlam all those years ago. Rollins losing in a Squash Match will hurt the credibility of the “Beastslayer”, and WWE will effectively kill all his momentum.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar must have a proper singles matchup which has evaded us since 2015.&nbsp;</p>
