SUMMERSLAM PREDICTIONS
Here’s how us at SunSport think SummerSlam is going to go down – be nice, we’re trying our best:
Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs John Cena
It is rather safe to assume that Roman Reigns won’t be leaving WWE any time soon as he is the company’s biggest star and John Cena’s successor.
Therefore, we should all expect Reigns to extend his Universal championship reign; maybe with the help of The Usos.
Winner: Universal Champion Roman Reigns
Raw Women’s Champion Nikki A.S.H. vs Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair (Triple Threat Match)
That is a very tricky one as no matter how much we love our fellow Brit it is hard to expect Nikki A.S.H to hold on to the title for much longer.
Maybe a Triple Threat Match is not the way to lose the belt and so Nikki will hold on to it at SummerSlam.
But Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley are both seriously breathing down the Scottish grappler’s neck.
Winner: RAW Women’s Champion Nikki A.S.H.
WWE Champion Bobby Lashley vs Goldberg
Goldberg is back and he brings that horrible dilemma we usually feel when we see the Hall of Famer in the world title picture.
On one hand we are happy to see the WCW legend back, but on the other we are scared he is going to bury some of the most young and exciting superstars.
But Drew McIntyre proved there are limits for the four-time world champion and thus WWE Champion Bobby Lashley may overcome.
Winner: WWE Champion Bobby Lashley
SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos vs Rey & Dominik Mysterio
It is way too early for Jimmy and Jey Uso to lose the SmackDown Tag Team Championships.
And there is no reason to put the gold back on Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik.
Winners: SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos
SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair vs Sasha Banks
SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair has been touted by WWE itself as one of the company’s next big stars.
Therefore, we should expect Belair to have a monster run with the title and overcome Sasha Banks the same way she did at WrestleMania 37.
Winner: SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair
Edge vs Seth Rollins
As mentioned below, this is a dream match that could steal the show at SummerSlam.
As for the winner, Seth Rollins needs this victory more than Edge as he is trying to create a legacy as one of the superstars that will carry the company forward.
Winner: Seth Rollins
United States Champion Sheamus vs Damian Priest
It’s a bit hard to expect all champions to retain at SummerSlam.
And it seems like Sheamus’ US Championship reign is growing a little stale, thus Damian Priest may win the title.
Winner: Damian Priest
Drew McIntyre vs Jinder Mahal
British superstar Drew McIntyre needs to get back on the path to the main event after his recent failures to regain the WWE Championship.
Therefore, it would only make sense if McIntyre beat Jinder Mahal
Winner: Drew McIntyre
Alexa Bliss vs Eva Marie
Alexa Bliss should win this one comfortably, unless WWE are booking her the same way as Bray Wyatt – you know, the guy who created Bliss’ current gimmick.
However, we can’t rule out Piper Niv… I mean, Doudrop, helping Marie to a shock victory.
Winner: Alexa Bliss
Raw Tag Team Champions AJ Styles & Omos vs RK-Bro
Two ways this is going to go, either RK-Bro win the titles or Randy Orton turns on Riddle.
Perhaps it will be the latter as as a title loss would make Omos look rather weak.
Winners: RAW Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Omos
