Jeri-KO wins via shenanigans.

Miz wins via shenanigans.

Cesaro wins via who cares I can't believe I have to watch this garbage 6 more times.

The Club wins hopefully ending this feud. New Day have been stale since they turned face and I don't care to continue a feud based around genitals.

Reigns wins via shenanigans. Rusev retains (this is too easy).

Cena wins because Cena. Do-do-do-doooooooooo. Back to the lower mid card Mr. TNA.

Ambrose wins clean in the first good match of the night.

Balor wins because if they have him lose for the first time as the Demon, f*ck you Vince. And show me the damn belt already so I can pick it apart.

Brock wins. Could not care less about this match or really Brock in general unless it's a Heyman promo. This should not be the main event but of course Vince thinks Orton is still a number two or three guy in the company.

That's just how they do things with Cena. New star comes in, gets temporary rub with victory over Cena, Cena owns the rest of the feud.

Barrett, Owens, and now AJ and probably more I can't think of at the moment. Punk was kind of the exception though Cena ultimately won that feud as well. I'll guess Shinsuke as the next victim.

I'm guessing this is where it flips though. It's too obvious to push Styles so he can be top heel and Ambrose adversary. Cena is moving into a different phase of his career due to out of ring obligations and age. Plus they've been cool with making Cena lose at Summerslam in the past

It might happen but I don't think Rollins and Balor being main event would make sense in kayfabe. Smackdown has the WWE title and instead of Raw having a rookie in the main event in Balor, Smackdown has a former world champion in Ziggler. The question would be Ambrose/Ziggler or Orton/Lesnar imo

1. Cesaro vs. Sheamus (cause why not)
2 The Miz (c) (with Maryse) vs. Apollo Crews (i feel they're putting a rocket to Crews)
3 Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens (face team to get the win, think Jericho eats the pin)
4 Rusev (c) (with Lana) vs. Roman Reigns (Reigns to win and Vince & Dunn to combust)
5 The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) (c) vs. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson (think we're in for new tag team champs)
6 John Cena vs. AJ Styles (John Cena never loses a feud, he'll lose matches, but never the feud)
7 Sasha Banks (c) vs. Charlotte (she just won the title)
8 Dean Ambrose (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler (same as Sasha, Dean is clearly the franchise player right now for smackdown, though i think their may be shennanigans by the Wyatt family)
9 Finn Bálor vs. Seth Rollins (though hopefully its a double turn at the end of the show instead and Finn wins, reuniting with the club)
10 Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman) vs. Randy Orton (it will be closer but suplex city will prevail and then Brock will bugger off till survivor series or the royal rumble)

yeah but never really in a match that ended a feud. I don't think Cena has lost a feud really apart from losing the belt to Lesnar at Summerslam 2 years ago and against Punk at Money in the Bank.

Cena has lost matches but he rarely, if ever loses the feud.

After watching the Women's Evolution WWE 24, Sasha/Charlotte should 100% main event

Isn't Cena going on a hiatus soon? I really hope that they don't have him beat AJ. What a colossal mistake that would be.

Predictions including order of matches, the kick-off matches are guesses

Kick off show

1 The Dudley Boyz vs Neville and Sin Cara - Neville and Sin Cara win after after Bubba/D-Von mishap, Bubba walks out alone and they break up following Raw
2 Baron Corbin vs Kalisto - Kalisto wins by roll-up
3 Darren Young vs Titus O'Neil - Titus by DQ

Main show

1 Enzo and Cass vs Jericho and KO - Jericho eats the pin
2 Cesaro vs Sheamus - Sheamus wins one as he is due
3 Intercontinental title: The Miz vs Apollo Crews - The Miz retains after the minimal effort they've put into Apollo's character
4 Becky, Carmella and Naomi vs Natalya, Eva Marie and Alexa - Eva avoids the tag for the whole match, until the very end when Becky is knocked out by someone else and she tags in and pins Becky
5 US title: Rusev vs Roman Reigns - Rusev triumphs, Reigns winning on Raw was to throw him a bone before he takes this L
6 Tag titles: The New Day vs Gallows and Anderson - Gallows and Anderson win without New Day's extra man advantage, Enzo and Cass come out to save Xavier and Kofi's nuts
7 John Cena vs AJ Styles - Styles wins and moves on to WWE title picture
8 Women's title: Sasha Banks vs Charlotte - Dana comes out when the ref isn't looking but inadvertently costs Charlotte the match, Charlotte breaks up with her by Raw
9 Universal title: Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins - The Club turns on Balor
10 WWE title: Dean Ambrose vs Dolph Ziggler - Ambrose is the top babyface on SD and moves on to bigger threats
11 Randy Orton vs Brock Lesnar - Lesnar punished for PEDs and possibly sets up a Wrestlemania match

Read on Twitter


What an odd pairing, but whatever.

Sad that Zayn is stuck on the preshow.

Preshow has been bastardized by fans but in reality it's just the first match of the PPV. It's not like it's a dark match that doesn't get aired like they used to do in the 90's. If they go out and put on a great match people will hype it up no differently than they would have if it was in the middle of the show. It is an odd pairing but they're at least familiar with each other. The Dudley's are veterans so they'll show up and put on a passable match, just a matter of how much time Vince gives this match to get over. I feel like this is where Bubba Ray and D-Von split though.

Speaking of Zayn and Neville, check this out. I found it on youtube a while back and it's awesome.

I love the The Dudley Boyz so I know they will put on a great show, and them breaking up after another loss makes sense.

I just feel for Sami that likely deserves to be part of some story line involving SummerSlam. Not just thrown in a random match.

Don't lose faith. Seth and Roman were defending the tag titles on pre-shows at one point. Everything is cyclical. Sami's time will come.

Also, another match added to the card...

12-Man tag

So Bovada has Charlotte at -220, a little concerning for Sasha after the Del Rio/Paige/Eva suspensions
