As the highly anticipated SummerSlam event draws near, fans are buzzing with excitement over the intriguing matchups and captivating storylines that are set to unfold in the squared circle. Let's take a closer look at some of the key matches and potential twists that could take place at this year's SummerSlam.

In what promises to be a fierce showdown, Drew McIntyre will take on the returning CM Punk. With tensions running high in the Judgment Day faction, there's a strong possibility of a betrayal that could propel the ongoing storyline to new heights. One fan is so confident in Gunther's victory that they are willing to bet $50 on the enigmatic wrestler.

On the topic of champions, the Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn, has displayed an impressive reign, even if he hasn't always been the focal point. Zayn's ability to elevate his opponents, such as Chad Gable and Bron Breakker, has been instrumental in their development. Many fans rate his reign as an impressive eight out of ten.

The clash between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan is expected to be impacted by the actions of "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. His allegiance could tip the scales in favor of Morgan, signaling the potential downfall of Judgment Day. It begs the question of whether it's too soon to dethrone the current champion, Damian Priest, who has enjoyed a satisfactory 120-day stint as the World Heavyweight Champion.

Shenanigans are almost a staple of WWE events, and in this match, CM Punk's dominant booking against McIntyre could be overturned. Seth Rollins may play a pivotal role in costing Punk the victory, setting the stage for future matches and a possible challenge against Gunther for the world title.

YouTube star Logan Paul finds himself in the ring with LA Knight, vying for the United States Championship. While Paul's title reign was successful in garnering attention, Knight's consistent presence on television calls for a marquee win. The WWE Universe is eager to see Knight walk out of Cleveland as the champion.

In a showdown between Bayley and Nia Jax, their long-standing history adds an extra layer of intensity to the match. While Bayley may fight valiantly, the ultimate victory will likely elude her.

As the event approaches, speculations arise regarding the possible appearance of Roman Reigns. While it seemed likely at first, the chances have become more uncertain, leaving fans divided on whether he will return to set up a Survivor Series match between the old and new Bloodlines.

Finally, Dominik Mysterio's role in the event remains a hot topic of discussion. With the Judgment Day faction on the brink of collapse, Dominik could either accidentally or intentionally cost Ripley the win, potentially aligning himself with Morgan and further sealing the group's fate.

With thrilling matchups and potential surprises in store, SummerSlam 2022 promises to be an exhilarating event for WWE fans worldwide. Brace yourselves for a night of intense action, unexpected twists, and the birth of new storylines that will shape the future of the WWE landscape.
