Though the Triple H creative regime has delivered a slightly underwhelming build to SummerSlam, there are some major mistakes The Game cannot afford to make at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
In this article, we will discuss five mistakes WWE should not make on the first night of the Minnesota PLE.
#5. Liv Morgan retaining the title with The Judgment Day’s help
A major mistake WWE should not make at SummerSlam is letting Liv Morgan retain the gold after Judgment Day interference. Since winning the championship at WrestleMania 42, the Miracle Kid hasn’t defended the title on television. SummerSlam will be the first show where Morgan puts her championship on the line.
Not only would a win after interference from her factionmates seem repetitive and predictable, but it would also make her first defense since winning the title seem less than valid. It would be better if Triple H didn’t conclude this match with interference from Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, or anyone else in the Judgment Day. Either Liv Morgan should retain the gold on her own, or IYO Sky should be crowned the new champion.
#4. Nick Aldis defeating Gunther in his WWE in-ring debut match
On Night 1 of SummerSlam, Nick Aldis will make his in-ring debut in the TKO-led promotion. Since arriving in WWE, the National Treasure has served as SmackDown General Manager. However, he has relinquished his position as an authority figure to take on Gunther at SummerSlam.
WWE must not make the mistake of giving Aldis a victory over Gunther. The Ring General has defeated and retired legends like Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, earning him the moniker of “The Career Killer.” However, following this, he has failed multiple times to dethrone Cody Rhodes as the Undisputed WWE Champion.
With his momentum already having been derailed on the main roster, a loss to Aldis would be a major blow to The Career Killer’s reputation. Therefore, the company should make sure that Gunther finally beats Aldis in a match that is so close that fans will be on the edge of their seats, wondering which way the bout will go right till the end.
#3. No heel turn for Nikki Bella or Paige
Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, and Paige will lock horns in a six-woman tag team match against Fatal Influence at the upcoming premium live event. Paige and Brie are no longer the Women’s Tag Team Champions, having lost the title to Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley.
Triple H should not make the mistake of turning either Nikki or Paige into a villainous star. Since Paige replaced an injured Nikki at WrestleMania 42, fans have speculated that the Hall of Famer could turn on her friend following her return. SummerSlam would be the perfect stage for this major twist, but the company must not use this event as an opportunity to turn either of them heel.
The two are legends in the industry, and keeping them as babyfaces, alongside Brie, would help counter the growing power of heels like Fatal Influence.
#2. Cody Rhodes should not become the Undisputed WWE Champion again
Cody Rhodes and CM Punk’s chemistry is becoming increasingly interesting, as the company continues to drop hints toward an American Nightmare heel turn. Cody has already spent enough time as the Undisputed WWE Champion this year.
Therefore, the Triple H-led promotion should not make the mistake of putting the title back on The Prodigal Son. Instead, The Second City Saint should retain the championship.
Putting the championship back on Cody Rhodes would be a major mistake for a couple of reasons. One, his being champion again would just feel repetitive and add to fan fatigue. Two, Punk has only just begun his reign, and taking the title off him so soon would undermine a star of his caliber.
The company should instead capitalize on a frustrated Rhodes, who could turn heel after losing to The Best in the World and missing out on regaining his position at the top of SmackDown. This would allow the company to go in a fresh direction with his character, one that would stop at nothing to get back to the top.
#1. Brock Lesnar should not defeat Oba Femi in their rubber match
Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi will be locked inside Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam. This will mark the rubber match between these two gigantic stars. Though The Biggest Party of the Summer is taking place in Lesnar’s hometown, WWE should avoid playing into sentiment and ensure that the Beast does not defeat The Ruler.
It wouldn’t make sense for Lesnar to win at the end of their feud; he should instead put Femi over to further elevate the Nigerian star. A loss for Lesnar will not hurt him; however, Oba losing would not only put a dent in his momentum but also make his sacrifice of giving up his world title shot as the King of the Ring winner in vain. Therefore, WWE should not make the mistake of giving Lesnar a victory in this Hell in a Cell showdown.
