WWE Summerslam Predict
WWE championship: John Cena (C) against Cody Rhodes
Geno Mrosko: I am not always convinced that the babyface Smackdown is coming, but I have overtaken myself to a possible double gymnastics scenario. I would think that this would point out that a title change would be made. Pick: Cody Rhodes
Sean Rueter: I am not sure whether Cena's return to respectful, loyal and hustle-y is legitimate. I am not even sure whether it is a good turn in history (but time will tell). But I was much more interested in this match, so I don't complain yet (yet). If Cena is full of it, I am not sure whether you still have enough time to make a gradual facial application later. I also think it is too early to make Cody fully grown. Intrigue! Let us assume that you have returned as a baby face vs. Babyface, but will use the match to plant a few seeds for Rhodes as a villain. Pick: Cody Rhodes
Kyle Decker: There are two ways to do this. Cody Rhodes can beat John Cena's best version and be crowned again. And that is viable. He is still popular with the crowd. But if he loses, he will soon have to turn his heel because it won't be something that his baby face persona can survive. I like that the latter creatively creatively, especially towards a baby face government/heel Cody at Mania. But I don't think you are doing this, especially if Cody is still your full -time -top babyface and media/podcast types. Pick: Cody Rhodes
Claire Elizabeth: I think Cena's face is real, and I also think that it is bad news for Cody, because that means that he found the old John Cena and that means that Rhodes overloaded as in the old days. Selection: John Cena
Kain A. Knight: Cody will look really stupid and bad if he falls in love with a Cena trick winner both at Wrestlemania and in Summerlam, so I don't think WWE will do that to him. I also hear that Cody can now make sound booms, and this is completely legal in a street fight. Pick: Cody Rhodes
Marcus Benjamin: Weekend I convinced myself that John Cena had this match in her pocket. Why? Because the widespread news about Cody Guile play. I find it strange for all times that Cody was sitting behind a microphone in the past few weeks, it has never appeared. Strange. I still choose Cena, but the more seconds passed, the less confident I am. Selection: John Cena
Women's World Championship: Naomi (c) against Rhea Ripley against Iyo Sky
Geno Mrosko: I really think the fans would dissolve if they tried to lose the title Naomi, even if they return it Ripley. Under no circumstances does that happen. Pick: Naomi
Sean Rueter: When I spent mine evolution Predict for women's world championship title about how Rhea should keep the belt in 95% of the time in which it is nearby and the availability. I have not thought about the possibility that Naomi wins it. It is not quite the same, but Trinity currently has a version of Becky Lynch's 2018. You do nothing to hinder this, especially not in a triple threat. Pick: Naomi
Kyle Decker: Naomi has just won the title and the triple threat aspect of this game enables her to keep it without any problems. This agreement should rule. Pick: Naomi
Claire Elizabeth: Naomi is very, very good in this role, she is always the champion in the ring rank on her game and the mathematics of triple threats. Simply peasy. Pick: Naomi
Kain A. Knight: Rhea strikes Riptid on Iyo and is about to beat her for the first time, just so that Naomi throw the ring out of the ring in the last second and steal her victory. Pick: Naomi
Marcus Benjamin: Naomi cannot lose this championship yet. It is hardly in her reign. Pick: Naomi
Women's -continental championship: Becky Lynch (C) against Lyra Valkyria
Geno Mrosko: It seems likely that Bayley will be involved here, and that probably means that Valkyria will be screwed out of the title and the chance to challenge it while it is still on Lynch. But that opens the door to her to win Bayley so that you can fight it in the future so that there are more interesting opportunities. Pick: Becky Lynch
Sean Rueter: They have some options when you affect Bayley's commitment and the stipies, but I think the plan has always been to end the program between the Irish girls with Lyra as a champion. And I think you will stay the course. Selection: Lyra Valkyria
Kyle Decker: Bayley will play a role in this match and because there is no special guest referee for a guest, I think that she turns heel to help Becky. And frankly, that's probably the best piece here. Pick: Becky Lynch
Claire ElizabethTo be honest, I go with Becky just because I thought consistently that they would not hold the title on them in this entire run, and I was wrong every time, and it is never said that I am unable to complain about my picks. Pick: Becky Lynch
Kain A. Knight: You do not give any top star music and then let your belt lose. Pick: Becky Lynch
Marcus Benjamin: You have set up this as potentially as the last game in a series of fights between these two. But Bayley is lurking. You have emphasized how unhappily she has no place on the menu. Does she take her frustration over Becky or Lyra? That will determine the result. Selection: Lyra Valkyria
Intercontinental championship: Dominik Mysterio (C) against AJ Styles
Geno Mrosko: I loved this match every second of the build, and I am sure that Styles will give us a damn business. I am also sure that he takes over the child. Pick: Dominik Mysterio
Sean Rueter: Just because I really believe that the Mustachio will be in Triplemania of AAA Megacampeon in Triplemania in a few weeks. Selection: AJ Styles
Kyle Decker: I thought that Dom should have lost this title to Finn Bálor within a week or two. But maybe that has changed because of the AAA deal. I still think that he should lose the title to Bálor, so I say that he wins here, but they finally move forward, with Finn switching it out. Pick: Dominik Mysterio
Claire Elizabeth: AJ Styles is still one of the best wrestlers in the world, and he has a solid month with pent up that is ready to unload this child. Dom will be lucky if he does not end the match with a nice red fog. Selection: AJ Styles
Kain A. Knight: Stlyes will not win any further World Cup in WWE, so you could just as well strap it with the IC belt and give him a number of great titles before he ends it. Selection: AJ Styles
Marcus Benjamin: As much as I love AJ too, it is too early to lose the title of Dom. Pick: The Ol 'Dirty Dommie
The United States Championship: Solo Sikoa (C) against Jacob Fatu
Geno Mrosko: It will need each of the MFTs to prevent Fatu from winning the title, and that is still not enough. The question is how quickly you want to shoot him on the card. The time is not yet correct. Pick: Jacob Fatu
Sean Rueter: The earlier you keep the Samoan werewolf away from the remains of the bloodline saga, the better. Yadadamaer? But he is intended for bigger things, while this feels like the right level for Jimmy & Jey's little brother. You can continue to prepare FATU for the main event while selecting the belt … Solo Sikoa
Kyle Decker: While Jacob is the guy here, solo has far too many guys on his Beck and call that the cage is not neutralized. Pick: Solo Sikoa
Claire Elizabeth: Smackdown had FATU removed half of the MFTs in the cage and everything that could do solo had to be run away. The only option of Sikoa maintains the title is when Talla Tonga tears a hole in the cage to go through. Pick: “Samoan Werwolf” Jacob Fatu
Kain A. Knight: These boys can have the belt a few more times and go. Pick: Jacob Fatu
Marcus Benjamin: Jacob has to get his championship back. Why not do on the largest stage in summer? Pick: Jacob Fatu
WWE Tag Team Championship: The Wyatt Diseases (C) against the street profits against Fraxiom vs. Diy vs. Motor City Machine guns against Andrade & Rey Fenix
Geno Mrosko: I don't know. I hardly care. The match will be entertaining if everyone gets out. Selection: The Wyatt sick
Sean Rueter: I don't think someone who is interested in the diseases is interested in whether he keeps day gold, and I don't think WWE will hesitate to take the belts from them. Maybe I will pay too much attention to Tko's plans for AAA, but I also think that you could put another set of day belts on another few Luchadors. Selection: Andrade & Rey Fenix
Kyle Decker: I think to give the Wyatts a big one Summerslam Win will pass very well with the crowd. And there is no one in this mix that tells me that they shouldn't. Selection: The Wyatt sick
Claire Elizabeth: My wrists hurt if I only thought of live blogging in this one, but hell I'm just glad that I see Joe Gacy with WWE for his waist. Chaos, violence, ibuprofen – and no change of title. Selection: Wyatts (Dexter Lumis & Joe Gacy)
Kain A. Knight: It doesn't seem as if a team is being beating the Wyatts in a separate match, so this type of chaos with every team involved is a better way to remove the belts from them. Perhaps it is the turn of the Motor City machine guns to be champions again. Sure, why not? Pick: Motor City machine guns
Marcus Benjamin: That should be a lot of fun. I don't think you have not grabbed the titles from the Wyatts, but you look like you could. Selection: The Wyatt sick
This is how we see the card.
You?
