10 HUGE WWE SummerSlam 2020 Predictions You Need To Know

1. Otis Cashes In

Yes this exact same column pitched Otis emerging from the algae and muck of the Swamp Fight to liberate the blue brand's belt six weeks ago, and yes that same prediction is coming again here, but really wouldn't we all be in a better position now had the original idea actually occurred?

Braun Strowman's title reign has been a total bust. The audience was on its knees for Vince McMahon to pull the trigger on this versatile giant three years ago, but here in the grim present the entire gimmick needs taken out back and shot.

He is, technically, the steward of a billion dollar brand. But his SmackDown isn't Roman Reigns' yard or the house that AJ Styles that built. It's a hut made of straw, man. And If The Fiend blows it down as he's expected to do, what next for Bray Wyatt's character? Another drab run before a revenge mission against Goldberg.

Pass, thanks. Neither phoney headliner needs nor warrants that title anymore, and Vince McMahon appears to have fast lost interest in Otis anyway. Better now, than never.
