SUMMERSLAM PREDICTIONS

My slump continues. After Night of Champions, I am 23-32 in my predictions. Here are my picks for Summerslam:





-WWE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Chris Jericho & Big Show (CHAMPIONS) vs. Cryme Tyme: Shad & JTG

When Chris Jericho and Big Show joined forces at Night of Champions, they had the resume to be one of the greatest tag teams of all time. There is no way that they will fall to a team who has never won a tag team championship in the WWE. Jericho & Big Show’s march to dominance will begin with this match.

WINNERS and STILL WWE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: CHRIS JERICHO & BIG SHOW



-MVP vs. Jack Swagger

This is one of the most exciting match ups on the card. Both guys have the potential to be pushed into the main event picture. So who wins here? It is a toss up. MVP has already had an impressive run as the U.S. Champions. Swagger has only been the WNGETBOROS Champion (aka Wrestler Not Good Enough To Be On Raw Or Smackdown Champion aka ECW Champion). Swagger needs the win a little more than MVP does. Regardless of who wins, I predict a great match here.

WINNER: Jack Swagger



-Kane vs. The Great Khali

Poor Kane! While this should be a great battle of two monsters, Kane deserves to be in a more important feud. He has paid his dues. He deserves a better storyline. Khali needs a win here a lot more than Kane does. Khali went from being a dominating monster to a joke with the Khali kiss cam segments. He needs to get back that monster reputation or else his career is over.

WINNER: THE GREAT KHALI



-WNGETBOROS CHAMPIONSHIP
Christian (CHAMPION) vs. William Regal

YAWN! William Regal, one of the most BORING wrestling’s in the history of professional wrestling, is competing for the most useless title in the WWE. Christian will win, just because he has been immensely popular since his return to the WWE.

WINNER and STILL WNGETBOROS CHAMPION: CHRISTIAN



-WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Rey Mysterio (CHAMPION) vs. Dolph Ziggler

At Night of Champions, Dolph Ziggler proved that he could hold his own against a Legend like Rey Mysterio. The fact that he is getting a rematch means that he will win the Intercontinental Championship this time. This is too bad for Mysterio. It is always a good thing to develop new talent. But Ziggler is a Spirit Squad has been whose biggest accomplishment so far was being able to shake wrestlers' hands backstage. Mysterio was bringing prestige back to the Intercontinental Championship. That title will lose a little bit of that prestige after this match.

WINNER and NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION: DOLPH ZIGGLER



-D-Generation X: Triple H & Shawn Michaels vs. The Legacy: Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes

DX will win. DX always wins. I just hope that they do not destroy The Legacy. Rhodes and DiBiase are the future of the WWE. They need to look good in this match and not getting annihilated by DX.

WINNERS: DEGENERATION X



-WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
Jeff Hardy (CHAMPION) vs. CM Punk
TLC Match

This feud has been GREAT! This match will be GREAT! I am very skeptical of Matt Hardy’s attempt to make amends with his brother. It came about too quick to be believable. I think that his true colors will come out and he will cost Jeff the Championship. I hope I am wrong. Jeff as the Champion is good for the WWE and the fans.

WINNER and NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: CM PUNK



-WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Randy Orton (CHAMPION) vs. John Cena

John Cena NEEDS to win this match. He seems lost without the WWE Championship around his waist. And the WWE does not seem to have a storyline for him. But Orton will retain the title. Triple H will come after Orton and the Championship as soon as he is done with The Legacy. Don’t be surprised if The Miz, who was banned from Summerfest for losing to John Cena on Raw, makes his presence known and costs Cena the match.

WINNER and STILL WWE CHAMPION: RANDY ORTON



Enjoy SUMMERFEST,…er…ummmm… SUMMERSLAM!
