11 Early Predictions For WWE SummerSlam 2017

Randy Orton and AJ Styles recently met on SmackDown Live, but that match was a mere taster for what they will put together further down the line. It seems unthinkable that Orton and AJ will continue in their current roles as babyface and heel, and with AJ setting his sights firmly on the WWE World Championship this match is guaranteed to happen sooner rather than later.

If AJ is drafted to RAW next week then an almighty spanner will be thrown in the works. If he stays on the show he helped build, The Phenomenal One is going to be the show's top good guy for the foreseeable future. Styles deserves to stay right at the top of the card, whatever show he is on.

Randy Orton has a long history of not really delivering in major title matches, and a big time championship match with AJ Styles will represent a chance to put that right. This should also be the moment when AJ Styles makes it back to the top of the mountain.
