WWE reportedly planning a big swerve for Championship match at SummerSlam (Spoiler)

​

WWE are planning an interesting turn of events for SummerSlam

WWE have several big matches planned for the upcoming pay-per-view, SummerSlam. These include the WWE Championship, the Universal Championship, and the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championship matches. It's also been confirmed by WWE that SummerSlam will be followed by another PPV, Payback, within a week.

The latest backstage reports suggest that WWE are currently planning to add a huge change in one of the big championship matches. Hence, the WWE Championship match or the Universal Championship match at SummerSlam could set up an angle that will allow the creative to book an immediate rematch at Payback.

According to Dave Meltzer, the feud between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre or the one between 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman could see another match unfold at the next PPV as well. Here's what the report stated:

"The key will be an angle at Summerslam’s gonna lead to needing an immediate rematch. So it’ll be whatever that angle is, whether it’s Drew and Randy Orton... it’s gonna be one of the two major championship matches is gonna have to have an angle to build for an immediate return.” (H/T NoDQ)
