Predictions?
- John Cena vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship
- Bray Wyatt vs Chris Jericho with Erick Rowan and Luke Harper banned from ringside
- Brie Bella vs Stephanie McMahon
- Jack Swagger vs Rusev in a Flag Match
- AJ Lee vs Paige for the Divas Championship
- Randy Orton vs Roman Reigns
- The Miz vs Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
- Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins in a Lumberjack Match
- I can't believe I'm saying it, but I really, really hope Cena wins this. Yeah. I'm pulling for Cena. But I somehow expect that piece of shit Lesnar to win. Fuck Brock Lesnar and his annoying weasel of a mouthpiece. Gotta admit, Cena saying Lesnar came down with a case of punk-bitch-itis was pretty funny.
- Bray Wyatt's got this one. Jericho won the first match and Bray has to show he can do it without his two lackeys at ringside.
- Brie wins but Nicky turns on her sister and sides with Steph. I would like to see Steph win simply because she's such an awesome bitch.
- I don't care who wins this but pretty sure Jack Swagger will pull it off. Bathroom break.
- Another bathroom break for the Divas title. Woohoo, don't care. AJ retains.
- Roman Reigns. Cause I want him to and dammit he will. Sorry AJ.
- The Miz retains.
- Dean Ambrose wins this one, and this is the match I'm looking forward to most that night.

- Cena for marketing reasons. They need the sales and the kids love him.
- Wyatt will destroy Geriatric Jericho
- Brie/Stephanie..... yawn. Doesn't matter. Its just a filler match.
- Swagger wins, again for marketing reasons. U.S.A... U.S.A.... good for business.
- AJ and Paige I can't wait to see. That should be a great match. AJ wins, but its close. (again an incredibly awesome and soul full-filling feeling when hundreds of people chant your name
- Orton wins, because he's due. He's been the guard dog for long enough. Roman needs a valet. Roman might also loose bc at some point someone is going to get the wise (and correct) idea to pull him from wrestling long enough to do a movie.
- The Miz better wreck that ass shaking has-been.
- Dean vs Seth is going to be amazing (it had better be or I'll be super pissed). Dean wins.... but Seth cashes in that briefcase he's been lugging around. Seth wins. This way Cena, Dean and Seth all win, good for business. Plus Seth doesn't have to face Lesnar.
Having said all of that.. I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE GOING!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH SWEETIE!!! IT'S GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN!!

- John Cena vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship Want - Cena Predict - Lesnar. First WWE network subs are ending. Lesnar = mainstream attention.
- Bray Wyatt vs Chris Jericho with Erick Rowan and Luke Harper banned from ringside Want - Wyatt Predict - Wyatt My favorite current wrestler vs my all-time fav wrestler. This Fued is obviously here to groom Wyatt. It would be stupid if he lost.
- Brie Bella vs Stephanie McMahon Want - A different match Predict - Steph Super Predictable sister turn.
- Jack Swagger vs Rusev in a Flag Match Want - Rusev Expect - Swagger I actually like Rusev. His reactions during what's her faces promos are great.
- AJ Lee vs Paige for the Divas Championship Want - A different match Expect - AJ I don't care about any Diva currently
- Randy Orton vs Roman Reigns Want - Orton Expect - Regins I don't think Reigns is ready
- The Miz vs Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Intercontinental Championship Want - Miz Expect - Miz He JUST won it
- Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins in a Lumberjack Match Want - I'm not sure... Expect - Ambrose Seems like best match on card
- John Cena vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship Want: Lesnar the Conqueror Prediction: Cena gets destroyed. Fuck what the kids want, it's past their goddamn bedtime anyway! Brock must win, if for no other reason than it allows Paul Heyman to cut more promos. The man is a fucking Demigod and I'm gonna mark out like a bitch when I see him.
- Bray Wyatt vs Chris Jericho with Erick Rowan and Luke Harper banned from ringside Want: Wyatt Predict: Jericho Look, the WWE has completely and totally shit the bed on this Bray Wyatt thing. It's yet another case of someone getting over without them pushing, or at least getting MORE over than they thought he would, or they want him to. Case in point; Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. They were rapidly climbing the tag team ranks, putting on seriously top-shelf matches against anyone and everyone. They absolutely carried those overrated-as-fuck Usos to a hot 2-out-of-3 falls match last month, and now they're just back to being Bray's hapless goons. Total and complete bullshit, and yet another instance of WWE catching lightning in a bottle and then throwing the bottle away instead of doing anything useful with it. Fuck Chris Jericho.
- Brie Bella vs Stephanie McMahon Want: Stephanie Predict: Stephanie The lead-up to this match has been more than a little bit of bumbling and disconnected nonsense. The biggest and most obvious highlight was when a (just acting) tearful Steph finally agreed to the match, and said "Listen, Brie....there's something you've gotta know. At SummerSlam..." Then the slapped the fuck out of that no-talent bimbo hack, knocking her off the ring apron! "....I'm gonna make you my bitch!" Trite and cliche, sure. Still, it was some of that classic McMahon swagger. I forgot how much of the old man's charisma and whatnot she had, and that segment was a lot of fun.
- Jack Swagger vs Rusev in a Flag Match Want: Swagger Expect: Rusev I'm endlessly amused that Swagger and Zeb made a face turn without changing a damn thing about themselves. That kind of thing is pure gold when it happens, and despite the corny 80's storyline, I can't help but get pulled into the damn thing. That being said, for whatever reason they're really pushing Rusev to the moon, so I'm sure he'll win.
- AJ Lee vs Paige for the Divas Championship Want: AJ Lee Expect: Paige I got bamboozled into being a Paige fan, but really got tired of the way she was portrayed as having her win be a fluke. Terrible storyline. Then when AJ Lee came back, I remembered how utterly and completely amazing she is. So now, I'm totally pulling for her to get the big win. Taking a step back, though, I can see how the "frenemies" gimmick could very well go on further. Therefore, Paige needs to win in order to continue the storyline. Fuck you people for not caring about women's wrestling. Sure, we can all agree that Divas like the Funkadactyls and Eva Marie are garbage, but that's no reason to discredit an entire gender.
- Randy Orton vs Roman Reigns Want: Orton Expect: Regins It has become readily apparent that Roman Reigns is missing an awful lot of the necessary elements. While I agree that Orton is due for a "big win" I know that these are normally the types of situations where WWE really shoots themselves in the foot. Someone on the creative team will have the observation that Reigns isn't getting over, so the solution is for them to shove him down our throats. He'll be booked as an unstoppable monster, keep using his four move repertoire, and keep absolutely stinking it up on the mic. That way when it backfires, crowds are bored of him, and he's completely lost momentum they can throw all of the blame on him and act like they're still such geniuses.
- The Miz vs Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Intercontinental Championship Want: Miz Expect: Miz I am a Miz fan, and Dolph is completely and utterly pathetic.
- Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins in a Lumberjack Match Want: Ambrose Expect: Rollins There's no way they're having the match happen after stalling for two months, and have the face actually end up on top. Dean is rapidly gaining fans, gets great reactions everywhere, and all despite not really being plugged that much. I've discussed earlier what happens when people get over on their own. If you somehow remain unconvinced, I direct your attention to Fandango. What's that, you say? Big deal? Okay, well then take a look at Zach Ryder. Still not convinced? I've got two words for ya! Daniel Bryan.
- John Cena vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship Don't. Fucking. Care.
- Bray Wyatt vs Chris Jericho with Erick Rowan and Luke Harper banned from ringside I just hope this isn't another get something amazing going and suddenly end it with no follow up. I was actually starting to appreciate Cena for the way he sold Wyatt. Jericho doesn't have it anymore. I really loved him in the past, but he's spent.
- Brie Bella vs Stephanie McMahon Don't care
- Jack Swagger vs Rusev in a Flag Match Don't care.
- AJ Lee vs Paige for the Divas Championship Don't care who wins, just want to lick i mean watch them
- Randy Orton vs Roman Reigns I really want Orton to win this one, but Reigns will keep getting the undeserved push.
- The Miz vs Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Intercontinental Championship This might be the match I'm looking forward to the most. I'm really starting to like watching Ziggler perform, even if he is a Billy Gunn ripoff.
- Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins in a Lumberjack Match Don't care, hate both

- John Cena vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship Brock. I just can't imagine what's to gain from Brock ending the streak only to lose to Cena coming up short of winning the title. Plus I think it'd be funny if Rollins just said fuck the briefcase no ways he's cashing in on Lesnar.
- Bray Wyatt vs Chris Jericho with Erick Rowan and Luke Harper banned from ringside Should be Bray. Probably will be. But holy hell have they let this one go too. He's like what 4 in two years? Ryback was smoking hot before they dropped ball, the Shield still have a long time to go letting Reigns who is just simply going to be silver spooned to the top more time to not suck so much. Daniel Bryan I'm on the fence about because had they actually tried to capitalize and pushed the little shit then the magic wouldn't be there. And now Bray who just seems to be facing Jericho because that's what people do when Jericho comes back.
- Brie Bella vs Stephanie McMahon The fans will be the real winners here.
- Jack Swagger vs Rusev in a Flag Match Lana. Wait I meant me for seeing Lana.
- AJ Lee vs Paige for the Divas Championship Without sarcasm this time. The fans. Women's wrestling can be great. Those two have potential truly show that.
- Randy Orton vs Roman Reigns I don't want either to win. I want them both to lose. I'm already losing having to think about it.
- The Miz vs Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Intercontinental Championship Probably Miz. I want Dolph to win though. He's another one I considered dropped goods by now.
- Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins in a Lumberjack Match I want Rollins to win only because I want Dean to keep attacking him, eventually take the case, then cash in on Brock.

I have had a feeling, for a lil' while that Cena will retain, due to an 'Undertaker-esque' interference. That way they can keep brock the dominant monster (and not waste the streak) and keep the belt on the guys who's actually going to show up and defend it at house Shows (the revenue of which is even more important in these WWe Network days).
I'm not saying the Undertaker will return (Not ruling it out tho', wouldn't put it past them to misdirect us with all the reports of hospital etc), just that THAT match can't end normally, cause either way the company is losing something.
I have to wonder if Ambrose and Rollins can do the unthinkable and make a Lumberjack Match not suck, if anyone can it's those two. Pretty sure Seth will get the win as well, given this is the hottest program the WWE have going right now would be smart to ensure it can be dragged out over at least another PPV.
The rest of the card is just standard, I'll watch it and see what happens, apart from Reigns/Orton, I value my eyes too much for that.
keep the belt on the guys who's actually going to show up and defend it at house Shows
Then it's already on the wrong person. I'm pretty sure Cena doesn't do all the house shows anymore, and he definitely doesn't always do the international tours.
I will be stunned if Lesnar loses. Remember that Cena already beat him last year. Lesnar wins this, and suddenly we're in position to have a rubber match at Wrestlemania.
Side-note, in the hype video that they have been running, Lesnar talks about how everyone knew he was going to beat the Undertaker at Mania, they just didn't want to admit it. It struck me, if you look at things from a kayfabe sense, he's absolutely right. It was never mentioned during the Mania build, but Taker and Lesnar have feuded in the past, and Taker never won. Unforgiven 2002, match between them for the WWE Title ends by Double DQ when they both ignore the (wimp of a) referee. No Mercy 2002, Lesnar beats Taker in Hell in a Cell. Lesnar wins the 2003 Royal Rumble, Taker is last person he eliminates. Finally, No Mercy 2003, again for WWE Title, Lesnar beats Taker in a Biker Chain Match, which might be a good representative of the reason why it was never mentioned, in that WWE likes to pretend Taker's entire UnderBiker run never happened. Point is, there is a well-documented history of Lesnar beating Taker and Taker never being able to get any retribution. Again, in kayfabe terms, Lesnar makes a good point.
Anywho, my other expected winners for Summerslam would be Bray, Brie, Rusev, AJ, Reins, Miz, and Rollins.
