15 HUGE WWE SummerSlam 2018 Predictions You Need To Know

3. Rock Show

The Rock Elias SummerSlam

Elias will most likely have to contend with Bobby Lashley if he even makes it onto SummerSlam's bloated card having performed one night prior in New York's Gramercy Theatre.

He's irked the former ECW World Champion in recent weeks with the same antics he's been up to for most of the year, but his ditties haven't just been designed to take potshots at one of Vince McMahon's current faves - he's also taken the time to spark a clash with McMahon's 'Most Electrifying' creation.

It's highly unlikely that The Rock drops whatever he's working on to drop in on the Barclays Center. Unlikely, but not impossible. He's been known to make surprise appearances in the past, and the show no longer needs to advertise such a thing in advance to sell pay-per-view buys. A full programme with Lashley awaits Elias regardless of what happens to him at 'The Biggest Party Of The Summer', it's not inconceivable that briefly going one on one with a guitar-weilding 'Great One' may be how they choose to give them both Rock rubs.
