10 Early WWE SummerSlam 2018 Predictions

by Jamie Kennedy

1. Champion Vs. Champion - Brock Lesnar Vs. Seth Rollins

There has to be a reason why Seth Rollins has brought up Brock Lesnar's name and disparaged the Universal Champ's part-time schedule on Raw. This is WWE's way of moving Roman Reigns out of the Lesnar-bashing spot and replacing him with Rollins.

No arguments here.

Seth has grown into the man on Raw, not Roman, and that means he's the leading choice to face Brock for the title at SummerSlam. In order to do so, he needn't drop the Intercontinental Title either; a "Title vs. Title" match worked so well for WWE at the same event three years ago (Rollins vs. Cena) and it could do so again.

Once Seth dethrones Lesnar and takes the Universal gold, he'll be firmly established as the single most important wrestler on Monday nights. That suits his workhorse persona, and it'd be refreshing to have a Universal Champion working every week again.
