Top five things that should happen at WWE SummerSlam 2023 and five that should not

This is one of the biggest events of the calendar
SummerSlam, the grand spectacle of the WWE calendar, is on the horizon, and fans are buzzing with excitement and anticipation for what promises to be an unforgettable event. As the wrestling world gears up for this epic showdown, there are several moments that could make or break the experience. Here are the top five things that should happen at SummerSlam 2023, followed by five scenarios that would leave fans disappointed.
Five things that should happen at SummerSlam 2023:
5. Iyo Sky cashes in Money in the bank (And Bayley turns on her):
One of the most thrilling aspects of SummerSlam is the potential for a surprise cash-in of the Money In The Bank contract. Iyo Sky, with her awe-inspiring high-flying skills, could make an electrifying entry into the title picture. As Sky prepares to cash in, the unexpected betrayal by her partner Bayley could add a layer of drama and emotion to the storyline.
4. Randy Orton return:
Randy Orton, a veteran, and a fan favorite, has been absent from the ring for some time. His return at SummerSlam would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the arena. The Viper’s unique in-ring style and charisma have been sorely missed, and his presence would add an extra spark to the event.
3. DIY reunion:
Fans have long yearned for the return of the beloved tag team, DIY (Do It Yourself), consisting of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. Their reunion at SummerSlam would not only be a nostalgic treat for long-time fans but also a showcase of their incredible chemistry and in-ring prowess.
2. Damian Priest cashes in MITB (on Finn Balor):
Damian Priest’s meteoric rise in WWE has been nothing short of impressive. With the Money In The Bank briefcase in hand, his cash-in on Finn Balor could lead to an explosive championship match. The clash of styles between these two talented athletes would make for a memorable showdown.
1. Jimmy Uso turning on Jey Uso:
Sibling rivalries have always been a captivating element in wrestling, and a well-executed storyline where Jimmy Uso turns on his brother Jey could create compelling drama. This unexpected twist could redefine their dynamic and potentially set the stage for an intense feud.

Five things that should not happen at SummerSlam 2023:
5. Edge retiring:
Edge’s return to the ring has been a heartwarming comeback story, and fans have reveled in his matches since his return. A premature retirement announcement at SummerSlam would leave a sense of emptiness and would be a disheartening turn of events for both Edge and his dedicated fanbase.
4. Dustin Rhodes cameo:
While surprise cameos can be entertaining, Dustin Rhodes appearing at SummerSlam without a meaningful storyline would feel like a missed opportunity. Fans deserve substantial and thought-out developments rather than fleeting moments.
3. Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship streak ending:
Gunther’s dominant run as Intercontinental Champion has been a highlight, and ending it abruptly without a compelling narrative would be a disservice to his character. The streak should conclude in a manner that honors the hard work and dedication he has put into building his legacy.
2. New day return:
The New Day’s legacy is firmly established, and their return would need a fresh and innovative angle to maintain the excitement. A lackluster or redundant return would dampen their impact and fail to do justice to their status as one of WWE’s most iconic teams.
1. The Rock confronting Roman Reigns:
While a showdown between two legends like The Rock and Roman Reigns may seem enticing, it could overshadow the current roster’s talent and ongoing storylines. SummerSlam should be a platform to elevate existing stars rather than relying solely on nostalgia acts.
Conclusion
As SummerSlam 2023 approaches, the wrestling world is abuzz with speculation and excitement. The potential for unforgettable moments is vast, but it’s crucial for WWE to carefully navigate these scenarios to deliver a show that leaves fans exhilarated and eagerly awaiting what comes next. With a mix of surprises, emotional twists, and skillful storytelling, SummerSlam has the potential to be a defining moment in the world of professional wrestling.
