2018 SummerSlam Predictions!

Hey everyone! I know it’s been a while, but I am back in action! To be honest, I have not been keeping up on whats going on in WWE as much as I should be, but nevertheless here are my predictions for SummerSlam!

Early odds are already out, but I don’t base my predictions on odds, I base them on personal opinions. So here goes!

Raw Tag Team Champions The B-Team vs. The Revival (Kickoff Match) – If they are careful, the B-Team can retain their championship, but one wrong move and The Revival will take advantage. I am going with the B Team to retain.

 

Rusev & Lana vs. Andrade “Cien” Almas & Zelina Vega (Kickoff Match)- On this glorious Rusev & Lana day, I believe we shall see this adorable
couple take the win because love conquers all.

 

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander vs. Drew Gulak (Kickoff Match)- This match deserves to be higher up the card than the pre-show. This will be a stellar match, by WWE standards, as if these guys worked for a company that gave them more space, it would probably be a better match. I hope Alexander retains, but I have a feeling this match will end in an upset with Gulak capturing the title.

 

Elias to perform his greatest song at SummerSlam – Hell yeah.

 

SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bludgeon Brothers vs. The New Day- This match is going to be both fun and violent, just how I like my wrestling. I like both these teams a lot, and would love for TND to take the titles back, however, I think The Bludgeon Brothers are a brutal force to be dealt with, and are going to go above and beyond to hold on to those belts.

 

Finn Bálor vs. Constable Baron Corbin – I hope Bálor wipes the smirk off Corbin’s face. Sadly we all know that being the bosses pet, Corbin is going to cheat. We will see Corbin go over in this match.

 

United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Jeff Hardy- I was hella disappointed at Extreme Rules… this better be better than that was. Nakamura will retain.

 

Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz- I think this is also going to be a good match. The Miz has come a long way, and it will be interesting to see what these guys do in the ring. I think Daniel Bryan will teach Miz a thing or two and take the win.

 

SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch (Triple Threat Match)- While I think Carmella is a fantastic wrestler on her own, that girl is screwed without Ellsworth by her side for this one. This is going to be a great match, and I am hoping that Becky Lynch walks away with the title.

 

Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler vs. Seth Rollins- I like watching these guys wrestle too. This match could potentially steal the show. I think Rollins will walk away with the title.

 

Braun Strowman vs. Kevin Owens- Maybe Braun will let Kevin win again?

 

Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs. Ronda Rousey- To be real, I don’t think we will see the belt on Rousey until Wrestlemania but it would be nice. Honestly I’d like to see Rousey take this belt, then fight Lesnar for the Universal Championship as well, and beat him too.

 

WWE Champion AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe- Styles will retain… Joe bores me, but thats not news.

 

Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns- Rousey will interrupt the match and beat Lesnar for the Championship because the only way they will get Reigns over is if he fights her for the belt.

Lots of back and forth but Corbin is a beast compared to Cena. Cena has longer hair than usual, and its apparent he is getting a bald spot, and it’s hella distracting.

Here are my predictions, you can look back through my writing and see my past choices and rate how well I do with my choices if you wish!

Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe vs. Braun Strowman (Fatal 4-Way Match): I am pulling for Braun Strowman. I hate Lesner and Joe and think they will make Reigns really work for his next title run.

John Cena vs. Baron Corbin: I am looking forward to watching Baron Corbin beat up on Cena. I’m going with Corbin, despite my better judgement.

United States Champion AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens (Shane McMahon as special guest referee): This match is going to be all sorts of ridiculous.

Randy Orton vs. Rusev: Rusev!!!

Big Show vs. Big Cass (with Enzo Amore suspended above the ring in a Shark Cage): I think Enzo will have the key, and we will find out him and Big Cass been working us all to get over on The Big Show. Big Cass for the win…

“The Demon” Finn Bálor vs. Bray Wyatt: Bálor!!! Fid you expect anything different from me?

SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day vs. The Usos (SummerSlam Kickoff Match): So sad this got moved to the Preshow. These guys are AWESOME.  TND will retain their titles!

Why WWE Summerslam Is This Years Hot Ticket!

When WWE put this years Summerslam tickets on sale for Barclays center in Brooklyn, they sold out almost instantly. Some tickets are still available through the original source, but you are going to find the best seats are actually available on the aftermarket ticket sites!

Sometimes folks buy them to list on these sites, other times they end up listed as trips fall through, plans change, or other personal reasons. These tickets can be a great opportunity for those who missed out on the initial sale to still attend at a fair price. Prices on these sites, are based on demand, and for this event the demand is pretty high.

Stubhub is the official aftermarket retailer of WWE, and if you click the link you will see there are some seats for Summerslam as well as other events, showing the ones closest to you first. Sadly because WWE promotes StubHub so often, that tickets to WWE events can be hard to find.

Another option in the aftermarket is Ticket Liquidator. TL not only usually has an great selection of WWE tickets (They have a bunch of Summerslam tickets available at the time of this being published) as well as tickets to other wrestling events. NJPW tickets were able to get purchased here, as can you find many sold out ROH tickets, and even other hot wrestling tickets.

Last but not least is Seat Geek another third party site, where WWE tickets can often be found.

If you really want to attend a event, these sites are a much easier and safer option that ticket scalpers. The sites verify the tickets, and you even get to see the view from the seats on a couple of these sites! So instead of missing your favorite events, now you know where you can get tickets to what seem like sold out shows.

And don’t forget you can watch all the big events as part of the WWE Network monthly package, which is only $9.99 and you get your first month FREE!

Who is Favored to be WWE Champion After Summerslam, Nakamura Now Slightly Favored over Cena

The following odds are sourced from 5Dimes. Bets are taken from players worldwide.

Can Jinder Mahal Keep the Momentum Through Summerslam

There are currently odds on who will be the WWE Champion at the conclusion of this year’s Summerslam in Brooklyn. The current champion, Jinder Mahal, has the best odds at +195 and this is understandable with Mahal being rumored to in for a long championship reign.

The other three possibilities that have odds are Shinsuke Nakamura, John Cena and Baron Corbin. Nakamura at +215 and John Cena at +230 are very close in the odds, with Nakamura having the slight edge. This is no surprise as the odds for tonight’s Smackdown match between the two men have shifted in favor of Shinsuke. The former New Japan star is favored to beat Cena at -150, with Cena the underdog at +110. This may not seem like a wide margin, and it isn’t, but it’s worth mentioning that yesterday Cena was slightly favored in this match, which has now changed. Cena leaving the Smackdown Brand and heading to RAW after Summerslam is also a relevant detail in both the Smackdown Match and who walks out of Summerslam Champion.

Baron Corbin also has odds set to be WWE Champion at the conclusion of Summerslam at +435. This would involve “The Lone Wolf” cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase at the event. It is known that WWE is very high on Corbin’s potential, almost all MitB winners have successfully cashed in and Smackdown is in desperate need of building top level star power, especially with Cena leaving the brand at Summerslam.

Who Will Be WWE Champion Immediately Following Summerslam?

Jinder Mahal +195

Shinsuke Nakamura +215

John Cena +230

Baron Corbin +435

Smackdown Match 8/1

John Cena +110 vs Shinsuke Nakamura -150
