WWE SummerSlam 2013: Predictions

CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar w/ Paul Heyman

CM Punk and Brock lesnar

I think the WWE booked themselves into a corner with this one. I know it seems as though it really doesn’t matter if Brock loses almost every match he’s in, but in the long run, he’s really looking like quite the pay-per-view wimp. Brock should be disassembling the WWE roster, yet even old guys like Triple H are beating him in the ring. It doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Punk really needs this win, and really deserves this win, but he should be getting it at WrestleMania, not at SummerSlam. I think Punk’s feud with Heyman is too early in its inception for either Punk or Brock to go over cleanly.

I think Heyman or Axel is going to get involved in some way and cause some sort of big mess and the match will be thrown out. Before that, Punk and Brock are going to put on one heck of a match!

Kendra’s Predicted Winner – A big mess!

WWE Championship Match – John Cena (c) vs. Daniel Bryan

This is the match with the biggest questions, but the one most obvious answer. Cena needs surgery on his elbow, and will be having the surgery before he’s very ill. He’s already lucky that his whole arm isn’t infected, and McMahon won’t be allowing Cena any more time to hope it gets better. The surgery has already been scheduled, so that means Cena will not be walking out of SummerSlam as the WWE champion.

That should mean that Bryan is, but with Orton lurking with his Money In The Bank contract in hand, I have to wonder if he might just be the huge swerve that we’re expecting to see at SummerSlam. The thing is that there’s also the Vince/Steph/Triple H feud that’s hanging over all of this. How will that play out and affect the match?

I’d like to think Trip would call it down the middle, but he would love to screw McMahon. Will McMahon get involved in some way? Will Steph? There’s so many questions about this match that have added so many variables. It would make more sense in the long run for Bryan to win, and Orton to cash in and beat Bryan for the WWE Championship, because it would set up for a better feud, but Bryan deserves to be Champion, so I have to go with my heart on this one. I’m going with Bryan to win and walk out of SummerSlam as WWE champion.

Kendra’s Predicted Winner – Daniel Bryan

I might have added my silly take to SummerSlam elsewhere, but it’s great to be able to get my true feelings and predictions about SummerSlam off my chest for others to read. There’s so much going on with the WWE and their superstars right now, and because of that, I think this could be a stellar pay-per-view.
