The stipulation here is that if Strowman loses, no matter how that may happen, he will lose the Money in the Bank contract.
Finn Balor vs. Baron Corbin
This match would likely be the final contest between the two before the feud ends.
The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan
This feud has been built since 2016 and now everyone is going to get to see this dream match happen.
So that was the card for the show, let's have a look at some bold predictions which are most likely to happen at this event.
#5 Carmella Loses The SmackDown Women's Championship
This prediction is one of the most likely to happen as Carmella is going to defend her title against two of the best women wrestlers in the WWE, Charlotte and Becky Lynch.
Charlotte is a six-time Women's Champion on the main roster. Whereas, Lynch was the inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion.
But Lynch did not enter the title picture over the last year. She finally made her way into the picture when she pinned Carmella on SmackDown Live.
After that, Charlotte returned to SmackDown and she too, pinned Carmella and made this bout a triple threat.
As WWE is having an all women's PPV named Evolution later this year, they would obviously want their best talents to hold the championships and main event at the show.
Carmella is great on the mic, but her in-ring skills are not at all good. Carmella main-eventing Evolution would not be a thing that the WWE wants.
This is the reason that they either put the belt on Charlotte or Becky Lynch at SummerSlam 2018.
