Brock Lesnar to beat Seth Rollins to retain the WWE Universal Championship. Very hard one to call this. The storyline of Rollins been beaten down repeatedly screams of an upset win. But then why take the belt off him in first place. This could have happened without Lesnar every needing to be in Money in the Bank champion, as far as it was have the Beast with the briefcase. Having Lesnar regain it and drop it seems odd so Lesnar wins, but gives Rollins a huge rub by having a competitive match with the Architect taking an absolute beating but still comes close.

Bill Goldberg beats Dolph Ziggler in a singles match. Only question here is how quickly Goldberg flattens Ziggler. In 60 seconds or less is this writer's call. Ziggler has been fun as the loudmouthed heel and Goldberg gets his heat back after his struggles in Saudi Arabia so everyone is a winner. Getty

Bayley beats Ember Moon to retain the SmackDown Women's Championship. This feud has been flat, which is a shame as both women are terrific in the ring. Bayley retains ahead of an inevitable rivalry with Charlotte Flair. Image courtesy of WWE

Roman Reigns. It isn't clear yet what his role is at SummerSlam. There are reports of a match with Buddy Murphy or even Erik Rowan, who reportedly is behind the attacks on him. There will be an in-ring confrontation for sure, it will likely lead to Daniel Bryan and Rowan being revealed as the men behind the incidents and they will again attack Reigns. It will hopefully lead to Samoa Joe coming to his aid to begin an uneasy alliance. Whether there is a tag match or not is open to question, but this can push Joe forward as a tweener going ahead.

Ricochet beats AJ Styles to win the United States Championship. This could be match of the night. This could be a real feel-good moment as Ricochet wins back his title in a banger of a match. Styles, pictured, can take the loss and this could cement Ricochet as one of WWE's future stars. Image courtesy of WWE

Bray Wyatt beats Finn Balor in a singles match. How the WWE present Wyatt's new incarnation of The Fiend in a singles match will be fascinating. Wyatt and WWE deserve a lot of credit for this new character and he wins dominantly here. Khushnum Bhandari/ The National

Charlotte Flair to beat Trish Stratus in a singles match. Stratus is one of the greats in WWE history in the women's division. She can still go in the ring and this will be about putting Flair over and helping the WWE's Queen rebuild some momentum ahead of a likely return to the SmackDown women's title picture.

Kevin Owens beats Shane McMahon in a singles match. This is very tough to call. McMahon has had a frightening amount of TV time this year and needs his comeuppance. Owens could lose here and then be brilliant as a vigilante pest attacking McMahon. But Owens needs a big win, he has momentum, and the Owens v McMahon rivalry can continue with Owens winning. With Canadian fans cheering their home hero on this needs to happen. A nice angle would be if Drew McIntyre and Elias interfere, but are foiled by The Miz, who gets a modicum of vengeance on McMahon.

Becky Lynch beats Natalya in a submission match to retain the Raw Women's Championship. This will be Becky's best match since becoming champion. It will be a technically strong encounter. But it will hopefully be what happens post-match, with the likes of Sasha Banks, or even NXT Women's champion Shayna Baszler, making a surprise attack on a wounded champion that can hopefully make this interesting.

Kofi Kingston defeats Randy Orton to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. This has been a lot of fun, with a rivalry looking back 10 years. Kingston's reign feels like it is slowly coming to an end, but he gets another big win here over Orton to ensure he leaves Canada still with the belt. Image courtesy of WWE
