True... Although it was taken for granted, I don't recall (could be wrong) that it was officially announced the #1 contender's shot was for Summerslam. I think that could be a very possible scenario. I was a little surprised that Taker/Hassan was even going to be for a #1 contender shot, but that's for a different discussion...
Another possibility could be that Hassan will still win (with interference from Orton), but a "standards & practices official" (they might not want to specifically mention UPN, but it would be strongly implied) comes out and says Hassan can no longer be on TV. Or, in the middle of Taker/Hassan, the S&P official comes out to stop the match and have Hassan thrown out, and during the commotion, Orton comes out to RKO Taker. Either way, might we be looking at a Batista/Orton/Taker triple-threat at SS?
One more possibility to throw out... perhaps it's announced prior to the match that Hassan cannot wrestle, and Orton takes his spot in the #1 contender match.
