WWE Summerslam: Last minute predictions for every match

The c
The Summerslam card is stacked from top to bottom.

We are just hours away from the biggest party of the summer, Summerslam. This year WWE has put on one of the best cards in the history of its second-biggest pay-per-view event. The card is stacked from top to bottom with interesting match ups.

Let us have a last minute look at all these matches and predict how they are going to turn out come Sunday.


Andrade 'Cien' Almas & Zelina Vega vs Rusev & Lana (Kickoff Show)

The tw
The two couples have been at each others' throats

Former WWE writer buries Judgment Day HERE

Prediction: Andrade 'Cien' Almas & Zelina Vega win. The newcomers on the main roster should carry on with their momentum with a win. Expect Aiden English to end up costing Rusev and Lana the match in some form.

Cruiserweight Championship - Cedric Alexander (c) vs Drew Gulak (Kickoff Show)

B
Both men have been brilliant since the reboot of 205 Live.

Prediction: Drew Gulak wins the Cruiserweight Championship. Both men have been at the top of their game since the reboot of the 205 Live brand under Triple H. Alexander has been an unstoppable champion while Gulak has played his character to a T. But after having a dominant reign as champion since Wrestlemania 34, it might be time for Alexander to drop the belt to Gulak.

Raw Tag Team Championship - The B-Team (c) vs The Revival (Kickoff Show)

The t
The two teams will '
main
event
' the Kickoff Show

Prediction: The B-Team wins. The Revival has not had enough build since coming up to the main roster to justify them winning the titles. Although, WWE could throw a curve ball and crown new champions considering The B-Team is just comedic relief that does not belong anywhere near a major championship. This one is hard to call.

Finn Balor vs Baron Corbin

Th
This will be the rubber match that nobody has waited for

Prediction: Finn Balor wins. This rivalry has run its course. Despite getting a lot of television time lately as The Commissioner, Corbin is the one who should take the loss here. After floundering in midcard hell since his injury, it is time for Balor to make a run for the top again. On a side note, please bring out The Demon on Sunday.

SmackDown Tag Team Championship - Bludgeon Brothers (c) vs New Day

Ent
The SmackDown Tag Team titles manage to make the main show

Prediction: Bludgeon Brothers win. It is hard to see them dropping the titles to New Day considering how strongly they have been booked in recent months. Expect another dominant performance from the monster tag team.

Money in the Bank Briefcase - Braun Strowman (h) vs Kevin Owens

Owe
Owens has spent the past several weeks running away from the Monster Among Men

Prediction: Braun Strowman wins. It was a mistake to have Strowman win the Money in the Bank match over more suitable names such as The Miz and Finn Balor. But that does not mean that the WWE are necessarily going to take the briefcase away from him. In reality, this match might just be a distraction for what is to come later in the night.

United States Championship - Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs Jeff Hardy

T
The Charismatic Enigma takes on The Artist

Prediction: Shinsuke Nakamura wins. This is the easiest match to predict on the pay-per-view. Randy Orton is sure to be involved in some form or another. Expect his distraction to cost Hardy the match. Although a Hardy win by disqualification might be on the cards, one thing is for sure, Nakamura walks out of Summerslam with the United States Championship.

Intercontinental Championship - Dolph Ziggler (c) vs Seth Rollins

Two
Dean Ambrose's shadow lingers in the background

Prediction: Dolph Ziggler wins. Dean Ambrose turns heel on Rollins. That is the only way to make sense of Ambrose's random return to corner Rollins in a midcard feud. A Dean Ambrose heel turn has been coming for a long time.

SmackDown Women's Championship - Carmella (c) vs Charlotte vs Becky Lynch

The
The SmackDown Women's title will be defended in a triple threat match

Prediction: Carmella wins. This was looking like Becky's return to the top of the SmackDown Women's division. But since the addition of Charlotte to the match, it is hard not to feel that the WWE is trying to find a way for Carmella to retain the championship without beating one of its elite women's competitors cleanly. Expect Carmella to slither out with the championship on Sunday.

Daniel Bryan vs The Miz

8
8 years in the making

Prediction: The Miz wins. After 8 years of build-up, this match somehow feels too big for Summerslam. WWE have done a great job in the past few weeks to bring up the history that the two men have shared. It feels too good of a story to be done in just one match. The only way to continue this feud would be to have the Miz get a win over Bryan. Don't be surprised if The Miz takes the win this Sunday with some outside help.

Raw Women's Championship - Alexa Bliss (c) vs Ronda Rousey

Enter
The former UFC Champion will be looking to add a WWE Championship to her trophy case

Prediction: Alexa Bliss wins. Rousey was fully expected to win before the WWE made a promotional gaffe and announced Alexa Bliss vs Trish Stratus at the all women's Evolution pay-per-view. Although, this might turn out to be a ploy on the part of the WWE to make a Rousey win seem unexpected.

But in truth, during the whole build up to this match, Rousey has been booked like a monster. It won't be even a minute surprise if she ends up winning on Sunday. But with this being just her fourth match in the WWE, it is too early for Rousey to hold a major championship in the WWE. A Nia Jax heel turn to help Bliss retain might solve all of WWE's problems AT Summerslam.

WWE Championship - AJ Styles (c) vs Samoa Joe

Sty
Styles and Joe revive an age long rivalry at Summerslam

Prediction: AJ Styles wins. Who would have ever thought that these two would one day go on to fight for the WWE Championship in one of the biggest pay-per-view events of the year? But this is exactly we are going to get at Summerslam. This match is sure to bring the house down.

Over the years these two have had some of the most epic matches in wrestling history and they will surely not disappoint on Sunday. When these two had their five-star match at Unbreakable 2005 along with Christopher Daniels, most of the superstars on this pay-per-view had not even stepped foot in a wrestling ring. That's how long these two have been tearing it down. Do not expect this to be the last time they meet in a WWE ring either.

WWE Universal Championship - Brock Lesnar (c) vs Roman Reigns

E
Lesnar and Reigns are about to main event another big pay-per-view

Prediction: Roman Reigns wins the Universal Championship. After failing to beat Brock Lesnar for almost four years, Sunday might be the time when Reigns finally manages to get the best of 'The Beast Incarnate'. With rumors of Brock leaving for UFC to challenge for their Heavyweight Championship, this might be the last opportunity for the WWE to have Reigns conquer 'The Conqueror'. Although, it would be foolish to count out the possibility of a Money in the Bank cash in at the end of the match.
