This year's SummerSlam promises to be one of WWE's most exciting events, with highly anticipated matches and possibly some surprises. Here are the predictions for the main matches of the night:
Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa - WWE Undisputed Championship
Prediction: Cody Rhodes retains the title.
In what is expected to be the main event of the night, Cody Rhodes will defend his WWE Undisputed Championship against Solo Sikoa. The newly acclaimed Tribal Chief, Solo Sikoa, will likely have the backing of the Bloodline, who are notorious for their interference tactics. Despite this, Cody Rhodes has proven time and again that he can overcome the odds and emerge victorious. Rhodes’ resilience and determination will likely see him through multiple interference attempts. Adding to the anticipation is the potential return of Roman Reigns, which could dramatically shift the dynamics of the match. If Reigns does make an appearance, it will undoubtedly add an extra layer of drama, possibly setting up future storylines for both Rhodes and Sikoa.
Damian Priest vs. Gunther - WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Prediction: Gunther becomes the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
After winning the King of The Ring tournament, Gunther earned the right to challenge Damian Priest for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. Priest has had a strong run since successfully cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania. Despite his impressive performance as champion, it feels like Gunther’s time has come. Known as The Ring General, Gunther has built a reputation for his dominant and clean victories against top-tier competitors. A win for Gunther would signify a major shift in the WWE landscape, potentially pushing Priest towards new storylines within The Judgment Day faction, especially if Finn Bálor gets involved.
Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan - WWE World Women's Championship
Prediction: Liv Morgan retains the title.
Current champion Liv Morgan will face former champion Rhea Ripley, who is returning from an injury caused by an attack from Morgan. This match promises to be intense, given the personal animosity between the two. Liv Morgan is expected to retain the title, likely benefiting from a botched interference attempt by Dominik Mysterio, who will inadvertently hinder Ripley. This scenario would allow Morgan to capitalize and secure the victory, continuing her reign as champion. This match could also further the storyline between Ripley and Dominik, adding more depth to their ongoing saga.
Bayley vs. Nia Jax - WWE Women's Championship
Prediction: Bayley retains the title.
Nia Jax, who earned the right to challenge Bayley after becoming the Queen of The Ring, will be looking to dethrone the current WWE Women's Champion. Bayley, however, has been a formidable champion and is expected to retain her title. The match could take an interesting turn with a potential cash-in attempt by Tiffany Stratton, who holds the Money in the Bank contract. However, we predict that Stratton's attempt will be unsuccessful, potentially creating tension between her and Jax, which could lead to an exciting new feud.
Sami Zayn vs. Bron Breakker - Intercontinental Championship
Prediction: Bron Breakker wins the title.
After Sami Zayn defeated Bron Breakker at Money in The Bank, the two will face off once again for the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam after Bron Breakker defeated Ilja Dragonuv to become the #1 contender for the Intercontinental championship. Breakker has been on a destructive path since joining the main roster, making his presence felt with devastating attacks on multiple superstars. Despite his previous loss to Zayn, Breakker’s momentum suggests that he is poised to capture the title. A victory for Breakker would elevate his status and open up new avenues for Zayn, possibly pushing him into higher-profile feuds.
LA Knight vs. Logan Paul - United States Championship
Prediction: LA Knight becomes the new United States Champion.
Logan Paul, who has held the United States Championship since Crown Jewel, will face LA Knight in what promises to be one of the most exciting matches of the night. The build-up to this match has been intense, especially after their initial encounter on Raw before Money in the Bank 2023. LA Knight has captured the fans' attention with his charismatic performances, and this match seems set to be the culmination of their feud. Knight is expected to claim his first WWE title, defeating Logan Paul and solidifying his place as a major player in the company.
CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre
Prediction: Drew McIntyre wins.
One of the most anticipated matches of the night is CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre, with Seth Rollins serving as the special guest referee. Punk has cost McIntyre the World Heavyweight Championship on three separate occasions this year, setting the stage for a highly personal and intense encounter. McIntyre is driven by a desire for revenge, and with Rollins potentially providing assistance to even the score, McIntyre is predicted to emerge victorious. This match could set the stage for future confrontations between Punk and Rollins, adding further intrigue to their ongoing rivalry.
This year's SummerSlam promises to be full of action and drama. Let's wait and see if these predictions come true!
