Some rumours going around that Bryan will return on Sun. Would be so good if they had him attack Cena haha. Their match at Summerslam 2 years ago was gun, would love to see them start that feud up again.

Smackdown highlights.
- New Day match, classic stuff from those guys and by far the most fun I've had watching Los Matadores.
- Surprise Rusev flag
- Brie actually seems like she is getting better. Is Daniel working with her? Have a feeling once Sasha drops the title we may see these teams all break apart.
- Lords of Darkness is potential GOAT stable.
- The heels were all quite good in the 8 man tag, Roman and Dean too. Not the most energy from Cesaro and Orton.
- DBZ joke.

Summerslam Predictions

Rusev vs. Ziggler

Hard to say how this will go as I could see them dragging out the feud further, which would be a shame because Zigglers presence has dragged it down. This is really Rusev vs Lana and while Summer has managed to offer something by totally committing to her Lana 2.0 character, Ziggler is just Ziggler and makes Lana seem more vacuous by being in close proximity. My big hope is that we get a Lana heel turn. Where she manages to one up Summer in a ringside brawl at about the same time he has Ziggler laid out. Lana looks up at Rusev and he tells her to crush, with Lana locking on the accolade to Summer and Rusev doing the same to Ziggler soon after. Lana to return pretty much to her old persona and we keep this slightly quirkier Rusev. Creative to give Summer and Ziggler something to do elsewhere.

Rusev goes over clean.

Orton vs. Shaemus

A lot of people are ****ting on this but they are both pretty decent together and an old fashioned I don't like you feud is interesting enough. It also keeps them away from doing harm elsewhere. I like both just fine but it doesn't really matter who wins this. A ten minute slugfest with a few cool spots is all we need here.

Shaemus to go over sorta clean.

Ryback vs. Miz vs. Big Show

Ugh. All three of these guys offer something but beyond Miz Vs Big Show cowardly David v Goliath antics they offer nothing when combined together. Big Show shouldn't get the title, Ryback shouldn't have the title, Miz doesn't need the title. Could not give a **** tbh. I hope it's over quickly.

Ryback to pin Miz

Lords of Darkness vs Amell and Neville

Oh please please please live up to the hype. Now sold on Barretts involvement here, even though it mostly seems like he is there to eat a pin. Will likely be a short match so as to not expose Amell too much. Hoping the heels lose this by DQ so you can protect Nevilles reputation without squashing a guest as the alternative. Expect it's more likely we get a Red Arrow and clean pin.

The heroes win clean.

Wyatts vs. Reigns and Ambrose

I like all these guys but it's a pretty bland re-treading of something they did better before. The big hope is that this is what will turn one of the Shield boys heel. Hoping for Reigns but either would be nice.

Wyatts win clean.

BAD vs. PCB vs. Bella

I'm not a doomsayer quite yet about a failed 'revolution'. I think the factions have been used to introduce the new women to the wider audience and to let them gain an extra month to get Nikki over the line for the record. I'm hoping this will see the teams split up and see a few actual female story lines emerges. A hierarchy has formed and I'd say Sasha is the #1 contender. I don't think it particularly matters who wins, just how they win. With a whole team being eliminated by one person getting knocked out should hopefully see something they can build on in future.

I'll give this one to PCB clean. Strongest team all round and we may get some fallout when all 3 realise they think they should get a title shot and none of them are willing to take a back seat. Next PPV to have 2 matches, PCB triple threat and Banks vs. Bella for the title.

PTP vs. Los Matadores vs. Lucha Dragons vs. New Day

New Day are so hot right now. I don't think there is much more that PTP can do with the belts, so I'm expecting we will see New Day reclaim. And I'm really hoping we see New Day drop it on Raw within a week or two to one of the masked teams. Let the shenanigans continue.

New Day wins, dirty as ****.

Owens vs. Cesaro

Owens is having his rematch against Balor the night before this. He will lose that match and he will win this one. Despite feeling quite strongly on the result, these two are so good I think it'll be awesome to see how we get there.

Owens wins cleanish.

Cena vs. Rollins

Rollins hits that sweet Phoemix splash to win clean. I wish. Please no Shaemus cash. This is a hard one to predict because both titles are at stake. I can't see Rollins really doing anything with the U.S. Title that he can't already do with the WWE title. I think a DQ finish is likely with an outside shot Cena wins clean. I think they'll build up Cenas next actual title reigns up a lot more though.

Rollins to retain due to shenanigans.

Lesnar vs. Undertaker

Masked Kane to interfere. Who he attacks is the harder call. Double turn IMO

Lesnar wins via DQ when Kane beats the **** out of him, before turning on his brother and choke slamming him straight to hell. Monster Kane is back BABEH. One last time.

I think most people had enough of monster Kane "one last time" when they last tried it a few years back.

I actually quite like Kane, even now, but trying to insert him into anything high profile these days would be a total waste of time for mine.

Monster Kane was barely able to sustain a main event place in 98. What would be the point?
To retire.

Every time Kane has been given a monster gimmick it has been great for a couple months. He is probably in the best shape he's been in since he was unmasked. Masked Kane getting one more run needs to happen, and I can't help but think him blowing up at the mention of the Undertaker prior to Battleground may have foreshadowed more than just his comeback. Kane and Undertaker have never had a bad big match. Yeah it won't be floppy **** and it won't be a technical master piece but both of them can tell a story in the ring, both have great wrestling minds and both can get the crowd excited by their weird as **** characters. Kane being away at all just screams that he will come back somehow, and corporate Kane has really done its last legs.

Masked Kane has already had several "one more" runs though.

And Kane and Undertaker have had loads of big matches.

I don't have any beef with him being brought back to work the midcard, but he has no business being at the top of the card.

I've heard a couple mention Ambrose turning heel. Assuming he then would enter into a feud with Reigns, that would be a horrible horrible mistake imo.

Kane has to retire one day, and word on the street is he has wanted to for a while. Now they finally have a time where they can send him out properly.

Lesnar or Taker going over clean would just be bad IMO.

It's also possible that my Kane prediction happens but at a later date, but I think now would be fine. Ruin the authority's prize match, give a raw or two of promos of Steph and Haitch being pissed and Kane being monster Kane and not giving a ****. Build a HHH Kane PPV match.
Then have Undertaker come back when it suits his schedule to resolve his own grudge with Kane.

One last wrassle mania for the big red machine.

Yeah I really think turning Reigns would be the way to go. Ambrose is massively over and having him as the one remaining face from SHIELD would gain him so much support. Would also give him plenty to work with the outside world turning on him.

Reigns as a cool heel would probably work too. Would also work towards that Shield triple threat Wrestlemania dream match.

Ambrose turning would see fans turn with him. Reigns would get a few more cheers but a lot of the audience will end up following Ambrose whether he goes.

Yeah he's one of the few actual faces on the roster who's getting cheered huge. Hope it's Roman who turns... lots of people hate him already... it would absolutely work.

just remembering Kane and Taker vs. Trips and Austin back in 2001... 14 years ago. Jesus. Only 1 of those 4 is properly retired...

AT the start of the match, Taker and Kane chuck the tag belts in the air. A superb act of disrespect for those belts. Loved it then and still love it now.

I'd be amazed if the E has the balls to turn Reigns heel. He's their darling and they are just so obviously determined for everyone to love him no matter what.

It's honestly probably the only thing that would make everyone love him.
