The second biggest WWE show of the year SummerSlam 2026 will take place on 1st and 2nd August. There will be Surprises and shocks that will happen that will come out of nowhere. Triple H will want to make some headlines.
Let’s look at the Surprises to expect at SummerSlam 2026
Randy Orton
One of the biggest surprises that could happen at SummerSlam is if Randy Orton makes his much awaited return after WrestleMania 42. That was a night he would like to forget as he suffered a back injury and has been out. He could come out after the CM Punk vs Cody Rhodes WWE Championship Match. The fans would lose their minds. SummerSlam would feel like a must watch show.
Stephanie Vaquer
The WWE fans have been waiting for the return of Stephanie Vaquer ever since the last 3 months. She said on WWE Unreal that she needed a break to take care of her body from All the years of work that she has put her body through. It has been 3 months and SummerSlam looks like a big enough show for her to make her return to cost Liv Morgan the Women’s World Championship.
The Rock
This is the wild card pick in this list. WrestleMania 43 will be held in Saudi Arabia and ever since that was announced, The Rock vs Roman Reigns has become a possibility. The Rock appearing after the Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins match to confront Roman Reigns irrespective of whether Roman won or lost the match would be earth shattering. The build to such a huge match should start 9 months before.
AJ Lee
AJ Lee has been out of WWE since WrestleMania and fans thought that this was the end of her return run. However in the recent season of WWE Unreal she said that she felt like she was at her best and that means the WWE fans will get to see more of AJ Lee. And WWE SummerSlam looks like a perfect show to make a return in The Bella Twins and Paige vs Fatal Influence Match. There is a chance that The Bella Twins might turn heel on Paige and AJ Lee can make the save to a huge cheer.
