We are sure that Bray Wyatt will retain the title. WWE creative would not be stupid enough to give Wyatt his second Universal Title reign, only to take it away one week later.
However, the chances of Strowman giving “The Fiend” a beatdown are intense. The “dark side” of Strowman awoke in the “Wyatt Swamp Fight.” He was visibly changed.

The dark side of Strowman was not explored in the last match. Considering how Wyatt became “The Fiend,” could Strowman become the real “Monster Among Men?”
Roman Reigns Turns Heel (Finally)
Roman Reigns is back after a long time. Fans were tired of seeing Roman becoming the next John Cena. They wanted to see Reigns as a heel. He has the potential.
Therefore, when Roman came back and attacked “The Fiend” after his title win, Reigns got a huge pop. The social media was abuzz with Reigns’ “heel turn.”
However, WWE never acknowledged the heel turn. The turn was teased yet again on the last SmackDown. Reigns is now managed by Mr. Paul Heyman (known for his heel association).
So, after losing to Wyatt this Sunday, Roman might finally embrace his true heel potential and become one of the best in the business.
A Shocking Reveal

This is long overdue. After building Alexa Bliss in the Wyatt-Strowman storyline for months, she was snubbed last moment at SummerSlam. Bliss was not too happy with the exclusion as well.
On the last Smackdown, we reported how Alexa Bliss teased her connection to Fiend. Despite Fiend haunting her for weeks, Bliss seems to be affectionate towards him. Creepy right? This “affection” escalated when her old friend Strowman attacked her.

There’s a humongous chance that after SummerSlam, Bliss will reveal herself as the notorious Sister Abigail. She might as well help “The Fiend” retain his title, building an alliance as the damned duo.
However, these are just assumptions. WWE is known to surprise people with their wild storylines. Don’t forget to tune into WWE Payback this Sunday, streaming live from Amway Center, Orlando.
