WWE SummerSlam - 5 things that must happen at the pay-per-view

Will Roman Reigns put down another legend at WWE SummerSlam?

WWE SummerSlam is just a few nights away, and the company has been doing well to build some rivalries for the pay-per-view. Top superstars have also returned to WWE to make the event more memorable.

Goldberg appeared on RAW not too long ago and challenged Bobby Lashley for his WWE Championship. Meanwhile, John Cena stole Finn Balor’s opportunity to face Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam.

Randy Orton also returned to the company just in time for SummerSlam and will team up with Riddle to face AJ Styles and Omos for the RAW Tag Team Championships. At the upcoming pay-per-view, Nikki A.S.H., Charlotte Flair, and Rhea Ripley's storyline will play out in a triple threat contest.

Randy Orton was recently uninterested in teaming up with Riddle again. After exchanging some hot words with AJ Styles last week, Orton took him on later in the night.

The two men did well in the contest before Riddle leveled Omos outside the ring to help Orton win the match. Afterward, The Viper RKO-ed Riddle to make a statement.

The events of this week's RAW have given Orton and Riddle a chance to get on the same page again, especially now that they are the upcoming challengers for Styles and Omos' titles.

RK-Bro can realistically defeat AJ Styles and Omos without hurting the latter team's credibility.

After all, SummerSlam, being a huge pay-per-view, is the perfect stage to have the RAW Tag Team Championships change hands. Such an outcome should also give Riddle and Orton a big boost and ensure that they stay together for some time.
