Might be getting a little ahead, but unlike last year, where they had Punk vs Taker feud ruined because of the gimmick PPVs, and gimmick matches just for the sake of happening, this time around, by the act of casualty, they might actually fit the feuds.
It helps that they removed Breaking Point, so after Summerslam, the main programs can continue normally into Night of Champions, and then, comes Hell in a Cell. By the time this PPV comes around, we might have a hot feud between Sheamus and Orton with already two matches under their banner needing the blowoff. Or even more apropiate, HHH is already back and has a HIAC with Sheamus. Hell, even Cena vs Sheamus could have logic for a HIAC. And then, from Smackdown, you have the possibility of Kane vs Taker on HIAC, or Taker vs whoever turns out to be his attacker, way, way more logical than last year's Punk vs Taker.
So, call it divine intervention on WWE's booking, but as of right now, it seems gimmickery won't get in the way of feuds.
