However, the odds are likely in favor of Gunther, who could win the match against Aldis, as he is stepping back into the ring for the first time in three years.2) Six-man tag team match: The multi-man match could see the cohesive trio of Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Jacob Fatu emerge victorious against the unlikely team of Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, and Royce Keys.3) Six-woman tag team match: With their ongoing momentum as a top faction on SmackDown, it is expected that Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reed) will pick up the win over the legendary trio of Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, and Paige and etch a major victory on their resume.4) Liv Morgan vs. IYO Sky: While Liv Morgan lost the Queen of the Ring finals to IYO Sky, it is likely that Morgan would use her full power and Judgment Day allies to win the match and keep her WWE Women’s World title reign intact.5) Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi: With their third and final showdown set to take place inside Hell in a Cell, Oba Femi is expected to beat Brock Lesnar and add another significant win to his career.6) Cody Rhodes vs. CM Punk: With CM Punk picking up momentum after winning the Undisputed WWE title a month ago, it is unlikely that he will drop the title to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam.Also read: The Price of Greatness: What Cody Rhodes sacrificed to build one of WWE's greatest comeback stories
