I'd bet my next paycheck that the WWE Championship match will be a triple threat with Jinder/Cena/Nakamura.

I think Shinsuke beats Cena semi-clean on SD and Cena faces AJ again.

Shinsuke beats Jinder but Baron cashes in on him. AJ beats Cena then Cena goes to Raw.

I don't want to see that rumored I C title match.

Hoping Summerslam leads Nakamura v AJ at Mania for the Smackdown title


Nakamura wins...Corbin cashes in successfully

At some point between September & December Shinsuke wins it back

AJ can win the Rumble at choose to face Nakamura at Mania

If we're getting Reigns v Brock at Mania the least they can do is give us 30 minutes of AJ/Naka in the other title match

not the greatest card but their are some matches that stand out.

the smackdown side except the tag team title and possibly the world title match is a joke (yes, the us title is a bit of a joke also since its like the 4th time in as many months we're getting that match).

Womans match aside, the raw side of things should be very solid however also a world title match that looks to be very good.

So are you saying Brock/Roman at WM31 wasn't a good match?

No, I didn't say that.

Maybe should have said: if Reigns v Brock is gonna happen again at Mania then they need to give us AJ v Naka

It was good, but it wasn't some all-time great or anything. Also, the crowd is going to crap all over Lesnar/Reigns, which will undoubtedly hurt the match quality.

Word is this is going to be a 5.5 or 6-hour show, in the same vein as Wrestlemania.

Nakamura vs Zayn at WM would be fun.

The writer should upgrade their "B-"PPV with some matches instead of stacking the Summerslam card. Sorry but Randy Orton vs Rusev isn´t necessary as well as Naomi vs Natalya.

The card looks very interesting in general but there´ll be at least three more matches (Cena/Corbin; Raw Tag Team Championship; Hardys/Revival/Anderson & Gallows) and that´s way too much (like a 5-hour show).

That´s for sure but Styles vs Nakamura is fixed IMO

Pretty dang interesting stat, if Cesaro and Sheamus compete at SummerSlam, they'll be only the 4th team ever to compete at Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, and SummerSlam in the same year.

The only others teams:

The Natural Disasters (1992)
The Bodydonnas (1996)
The New Age Outlaws (1998)

Hopefully Nakamura gets the title. I don't even think his main run was that impressive but anything is better than Jinder (or Corbin).

Crazy how few teams have done this when you think about all the great tag teams that have competed in the WWE.

Very interesting. You would have thought that the Hardyz, Dudleyz, E/C would have done so back when those three teams were going back and forth.

Spoiler:
Edited after SmackDown shenanigans

1P. Cruiserweight Championship: Akira Tozawa (c) w/ Titus O'Neil vs. Neville
2P. SmackDown Tag Team Championships: The New Day (c) vs. The Uso's - New Day don't need titles to stay relevant, Uso's do.

1. United States Championship, Shane McMahon is the Special Guest Referee: AJ Styles (c) vs. Kevin Owens - Start the show off with something good. KO attacks Shane after.
2. Raw Women's Championship: Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Sasha Banks - I love Alexa, but she is a terrible champion. 
3. Raw Tag Team Championships: Cesaro and Sheamus (c) vs. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins - They're telling a great story with Dean and Seth. A Dean heel turn isn't needed yet.
4. Randy Orton vs. Rusev - Rusev cannot afford another loss.
5. Enzo Amore is Suspended Above the Ring in a Shark Cage: Big Cass vs. Big Show - Less than zero percent chance they have Cass lose. Enzo heel turn is a possibility.
6. Baron Corbin vs. John Cena - Cena winning would completely end Baron Corbin.
7. Bray Wyatt vs. Finn Bálor - Demon Finn squashes Bray.
8. WWE Championship: Jinder Mahal (c) w/ The Singh Brothers vs. Shinsuke Nakamura - Clean, simple win.
9. SmackDown Women's Championship: Naomi (c) vs. Natayla - Naomi wins clean.
10. SmackDown Women's Championship: Naomi (c) vs. Carmella w/ James Ellsworth - Classic MITB cash in.
11. Universal Championship: Brock Lesnar (c) w/ Paul Heyman vs. Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe - Hopefully this will be a classic match. I think the plan all along has been for Brock to hold the title from WM to WM, losing to Roman at WM34. It only makes sense to put the two guys who beat Undertaker against each other. All four guys should look like monsters.

You think they'll

? Otherwise I think your picks generally make a lot of sense.
