10 Last-Minute WWE SummerSlam 2016 Rumors You Need To Know

6. Bray Wyatt Interferes In The Main Event

Once again, a major PPV is upon us, and once again, Bray Wyatt is without a match. Moreover, after seemingly walking out on Erick Rowan on Tuesday, he's without a family, as well. What could be next for "The Eater of Worlds"?

If Smackdown was any indication, the answer could be a feud with Randy Orton. Orton and Wyatt had a tense staredown as they passed each other in the aisle, seemingly hinting at some future issues between the two. That's actually a fresh program (despite the fact that it doesn't feel like it), so consider it likely that we'll be getting Orton-Wyatt after SummerSlam.

The question, then, becomes how the feud itself starts - and whether it means Wyatt will play spoiler in the Orton-Lesnar main event. As we've seen numerous times in the past, Wyatt is not above randomly popping up in a major match (or having a hologram version of himself do it) in order to screw over a competitor at the last minute. That could happen again in SummerSlam's main event.

But does Bray Wyatt really deserve to be the deciding factor in Randy Orton versus Brock Lesnar, a match that has people excited? A run-in during that bout would be groan-worthy, making the whole event feel cheap for the sake of a star who hasn't been strongly pushed in a while. It's not a good decision, and someone in charge has to know that. Let's call it a longshot.
