This year’s edition should be no different.But in order for this event to succeed, certain things must happen.

#5 Conflict arises between Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose

Possible heel turn on the cards?

Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose are brothers. Cut from the same cloth and willing to do what needs to be done in order to protect each other, these two men have kept The Shield’s ideology alive. They work together, they fight together and they succeed or fail together.

They are the Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid of WWE, ready to battle to the very end and go out in a blaze of glory if necessary. That could be exactly what happens at SummerSlam as it could come as a result of conflict between the two. The truth is that no matter how happy they seem to be working together or much they appear to be on the same page, unity is a dangerous thing for babyfaces.

It just does not seem to always work out for the best and at this point, fans are likely waiting for the other shoe to drop. Their match against The Wyatt Family may be the moment it happens and whether it’s a straight-up heel turn by one guy or the other, it’s clear that something is going to go down eventually.

It sets the stage for what will happen, including a potential showdown at WrestleMania 32.
