12 HUGE WWE SummerSlam Predictions You Need To Know

3. Baron Bites Back

Tuesday night's SmackDown Live! was the worst night of Baron Corbin's career. Falling foul of a roll-up in just six seconds after cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase, 'The Lone Wolf' was enraged but embarrassed, humiliated at his failure to do what only two other people have failed to do in the past and scoop a World Title with the golden ticket.

Damien Sandow was another infamous loser, and again John Cena was present, defeating the 'Intellectual Saviour Of The Masses' in a competitive but convoluted Monday Night Raw clash. The first man ever to fall at the smallest hurdle? 'The Champ' himself.

An apparent kiss of death where Money In The Bank is concerned, the 'Face That Runs The Place' will look to inflict even more damage on the former NXT monster in their decidedly flat SummerSlam match, but the days of humbling kickings dished out to Wade Barrett, The Miz and others seem at long last to have passed.

Cena may still chew Corbin up and spit him out for the majority of the contest, but in WWE's skewed prism, a victory over the leader of 'Big Match John' will go some way to quickly rehabilitating Baron after his disparate failure.
