7 Last-Minute predictions for WWE SmackDown Live (7 August 2018)

#5 Will Asuka be added to the SummerSlam title match?

Asuka is without a storyline right now

The WWE rumour mill has been running wild over the last week that Asuka could be added to the SmackDown Women’s Championship match at SummerSlam, joining Carmella, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in a Fatal 4-Way match.

It would certainly make sense from a storyline perspective – Asuka’s two recent title matches were ruined by James Ellsworth – and Carmella’s two confirmed challengers for the title at SummerSlam will be preoccupied this week when they face The IIconics.

That leads us to believe that the rumours are true and, whether it happens this week or next week, Asuka looks set to defeat Carmella in a non-title match to earn another title opportunity at SummerSlam.

Prediction: Asuka defeats Carmella
