WWE SummerSlam 2018: 10 Most Likely Outcomes

8. Finn Bálor Shuts Baron Corbin Up Once And For All

Last month's Extreme Rules PPV saw Finn Bálor defeat Baron Corbin in what wasn't exactly the most memorable of matches. The pair would once again clash on Raw in an even less entertaining bout which saw Corbin pick up the win. Now, the stage is set for their rubber match at SummerSlam.

This feud has been rife with cringe-worthy segments and 50/50 booking and, as a result, it hasn’t really benefited anyone. The fact that we're supposed to even tolerate a storyline in which Bálor isn't seen as a credible contender because of his size is ridiculous — this man is the longest-reigning NXT Champion and the first ever Universal Champion.

Due to all this awfulness, Bálor will swiftly put an end to this storyline once and for all by defeating Corbin to "prove himself" (even though he doesn't need to). While neither man can really afford a loss right now, Bálor needs to move on to bigger and better things while Corbin can continue to do whatever it is he is doing as an "authority" figure.
