SummerSlam Predictions​

Here's how we see the matches going this weekend.

The Bella Twins & Paige vs. Fatal Influence​

Fatal Influence stole the tag team championship from Paige and Brie Bella, this would be a great place to get revenge. But we're going with the recent callups. Predictioin: Fatal Influence beats The Bellas and Paige.

LA Knight, Solo Sikoa and Royce Keys vs. Jacob Fatu and The Usos​

Seriously, how great has Solo Sikoa been? He's been the biggest star in this match that features six of the best going. Solo is the man. I originally wanted Solo to come home to the Bloodline, but let him keep cooking. But they lose here. Prediction: Jacob Fatu and the Usos beat LA Knight, Solo Sikoa and Royce Keys.

Gunther vs. Nick Aldis​

Nick Aldis is a great wrestler and will give Gunther all he can handle. But not enough to beat him. Prediction: Gunther puts Nick Aldis to sleep.

Liv Morgan vs. IYO SKY​

I saw somewhere this is Liv Morgan's first title defense. That can't be right. She would have been stripped after 30 days. She retains here. Liv Morgan beats Iyo Sky

Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar, Hell in a Cell​

I think this match is a war and I think they beat the heck out of each other, but I don't see anyway Brock Lesnar leaves his home state with a win. Oba Femi wins.

CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes​

Roman Reigns is my guy, but this is the best match on the card just because it's fresh. I also think they're capable of stealing the show, as are Roman and Seth, who are two of the best. This is the match I'm most looking forward to. I could see one of these guys turning bad and winning. I think it'll be Cody this time. Prediction: Cody Rhodes beats CM Punk.

Danhausen vs. Dominik Mysterio​

This is the perfect match for something on a pole. It's two of the best. Dom probably should have something better for SummerSlam, but if you're not in the main event, why not wrestle in a match everyone will pay attention to in a day that probably won't leave you too beaten up. Dom is Dirty but Danhausen leaves with the straight cash, homie. Danhausen retreives the human monies.

Sami Zayn vs. Finn Balor​

Finn Balor deserves a run with the heavyweight championship and a win here will get him a shot. I love Sami Zayn, but his promo from Friday was incredible. He needs to lose and needs to be screwed out of the win. Prediction: Finn Balor beats Sami Zayn.

Trick Williams vs. Baron Corbin​

How does Baron Corbin just walk in and get a title shot? Doesn't seem fair. He's incredible, but by attacking Williams, it sends a terrible message. Act up and you get a title shot. But he loses here. Prediction: Trick Williams beats Baron Corbin.

Penta vs. Chad Gable​

Penta has been everything WWE could have possibly wanted and more. His IC title run has been nothing short of awesome. But Chad Gable deserves this. Prediction: Chad Gable wins the IC title by beating Penta.

Tiffany Stratton vs. Jade Cargill vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Chelsea Green vs. TBA​

The final competitor will either be Lash Legend or Giulia, and either of them would be fine additions. I have no idea who will win this, all five could stake a claim. I'm going with what has to be a darkhorse, Chelsea Green. She's so darn entertaining. This should be a fun match. Predction: Chelsea Green wins the title.

Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins​

It's top guy vs. top guy. Main eventer vs. main eventer. Shield vs. shield. Any wins Seth Rollins gets, he deserves. He's so good. But I'm going with my Tribal Chief to retain. Prediction: Roman Reigns beats Seth Rollins.
