5. Undisputed Retribution

More realistically, Retribution will be used as a vehicle to blood the main roster with NXT call-ups. We already saw this this past week on Raw, after which two of the hooded figures were (inconclusively) identified as Performance Center trainees Jessi Kamea and Santana Garrett.

A few more notable NXT names could unfurl their hoods at the close of SummerSlam, particularly with NXT TakeOver XXX set to conclude at least one major feud. The most obvious names, who have thus far avoided the 'step-up', much to our enjoyment, are The Undisputed Era. Defeat to Pat McAfee on Saturday night can be taken as a clear sign Adam Cole and co. are moving on, and whether logical or not for a group already ingrained in the fans' consciousness, it could come under a cowl the very next night.

Again, not highly likely, for reasons implied in the preceding paragraph. But despite the confluency between brands these days, a call-up still often involves a reset. Don't rule it out.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
