WWE SummerSlam 2016: 5 surprise appearances that could happen at this year's pay-per-view
SummerSlam, the WWE’s biggest festival of Summer, is just days away and the rumour mills are spinning wild. Unlike any other PPV that WWE holds, SummerSlam has a unique reputation. This is where the biggest swerves are pulled and legendary careers are made. This event is known for its penchant for creating unexpected swerves that shock the WWE universe. And the reputation is rightly deserved.
The fact that this is also one of the 4 big PPVs makes a fan’s mouth to water and expect something extraordinary to happen this Sunday. Being the first PPV after the official brand split, WWE will likely try to make this one unforgettable. One way to accomplish the wonder factor is to provide fans with the appearances of Superstars and Legends who were not advertised.
In this list, let’s take a look at five such superstars who could possibly make an appearance at SummerSlam who are not on the cards.
#5 Bayley - A new challenger arises
Sasha Banks and Charlotte have been setting the Raw Women’s Division on fire lately. Ever since Sasha challenged Charlotte for the title, they both have been spewing out great promos and incredible ring work. Their performance is so darn good that we fail to realize there are very few female wrestlers on the roster apart from Sasha and Charlotte.
While Dana Brooke is playing protege to Charlotte, Nia Jax looks as if she is on a different program altogether. Paige is sidelined with injury (now suspended too!). So, if you take a head count there are hardly five women and apart from Charlotte and Sasha and no one is close to being a main eventing material. So, the most likely solution is to drag on this rivalry for a few more months until someone is ready.
But, WWE has cleverly left out Bayley during the draft to insert her into the title picture on either brand when needed. This could likely be Bayley’s entrance ticket and it wouldn’t be surprising to see Bayley in the title picture so soon as she has proven her worth in NXT for a long time. Bayley’s debut to the main roster has been long delayed before she debuted at the last PPV.
WWE is unlikely to make Sasha lose the championship as she is red hot now and the rivalry between the duo has been played out for over two months now. WWE may try to introduce a new challenger once the match is over and what wouldn’t we give to watch Bayley walk down the ramp and challenge Sasha once more for the title? That moment would be E-P-I-C!!
