Fans can expect high-flying maneuvers, hard-hitting action, and heart-stopping drama as their favorite superstars collide. But here are some rumors flying around.

It is now inevitable, it is happening. This week on SmackDown it will get confirmed whether Roman Reigns will accept his cousin Jey Uso's challenge for his WWE Universal Championship.

• Ronda Rousey leaving WWE

Many rumors have been heard that Ronda Rousey will be leaving WWE after she fights Shayna Baszler at WWE Summerslam, returning back to the octagon. But, is it true, only time will tell.

• Edge might retire

• Raquel Rodriguez vs Rhea Ripley

• The Rock returns

While fans would love to see The Rock at SummerSlam, putting him on The Grayson Waller Effect talk show may not be the best approach. Waller and Rock's social media feud has sparked speculation, but it might not benefit Waller's character, as Rock could overshadow him on the mic. If The Rock returns, fans would prefer to see him in The Bloodline storyline, adding more impact to the show.

• Jimmy Uso turns on Jey Uso

The Usos have been integral to The Bloodline narrative, delivering exceptional performances and experiencing a significant push as top babyfaces after betraying Roman Reigns. Despite rumors of a potential split, fans want to witness their continued unity as a tag team. Jimmy Uso's jealousy and turning on his brother isn't the preferred direction. The Usos' strength lies in their cohesion, and they currently hold considerable momentum that WWE should capitalize on for a more compelling SummerSlam storyline. Maintaining their alliance would satisfy fans' desires and keep the excitement surrounding The Usos at its peak.
