A collision involving Asuka, Bianca Belair, and Charlotte Flair vying for the WWE Women’s Championship has been brewing for weeks, with Belair expressing her demand for a title shot she believes she deserves. Additionally, the presence of Japanese wrestler Iyo Sky’s potential cash-in adds another layer of suspense to the event.

Among other speculations, a match between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship seems imminent. Recent developments, including Roman’s first pinfall loss in three years during the tag team main event at Money In The Bank and Jimmy’s altercation with Roman and Solo Sikoa on SmackDown, strongly suggest this anticipated face-off will take place at WWE SummerSlam.

As for Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, a rematch against Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio appears probable after their recent title defense on Raw. The interaction between Zayn, Owens, Seth Rollins, and ‘The Judgment Day’ following Raw’s conclusion further fuels expectations for an intense battle at SummerSlam.
