WWE SummerSlam 2016: 5 Major Twists that could happen

Possible showdown

SummerSlam is a pay-per-view that can sell tickets solely based on its name value. Even if WWE puts together a random card, the fans are going to buy tickets and watch the show since it is the next big thing after WrestleMania.

Despite this, WWE has lined up a solid card for the pay-per-view this year. And one of the major reasons that pushed them to do so is the brand split.

SummerSlam will be the first full-blown pay-per-view after WWE’s 2016 brand split, and as they say, it’s all about the first impression. While treading a path well-travelled is indeed an option for WWE, they could also pull off a few twists while they are at it.

Honorable Mention or least possible Twist:  Conor McGregor shows up

Distant possibility

Conor McGregor appearing at SummerSlam and setting up an appearance for WrestleMania 33 could be a dream scenario. McGregor stirred a lot of controversy with his Tweets recently and the way in which the entire WWE roster reacted to him was suspicious.

It could’ve been a work from WWE’s side to get some heat on the UFC featherweight champion and since WWE and UFC have already tied up for the Brock Lesnar scenario, we never know what could happen.

Then again, McGregor is fighting on UFC 202 just the day before, making this scenario highly unlikely.
