2021 WWE SummerSlam predictions

Common Championship — Roman Reigns (c) vs. John Cena

Cena is right here for a minute, making an attempt to pop a number of scores and likewise getting the good thing about doing a little bit promotion for F9 and The Suicide Squad. What he’s not right here for, nevertheless, is to turn into common champion. The place Goldberg might conceivably beat Lashley as a result of that is simply sort of the tune WWE performs with Goldberg. However there is a larger story being outdated with Reigns and a short-term title flip to Cena simply does not match. Decide: Roman Reigns retains the title

WWE Championship — Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Goldberg

As depressing an concept as it’s to proceed bringing Goldberg again to battle to create a memorable three-minute match, it is clear WWE and Goldberg are content material to proceed doing it till Goldberg’s three-minute matches seem like the final time he tried to go eight minutes. It would not make sense for Goldberg to win right here, nevertheless it did not make sense for him to take the title off Bray Wyatt and it occurred, successfully completely destroying The Fiend character and setting off a sequence response that finally led to Wyatt and WWE parting methods. Within the curiosity of a misguided stunning title change in entrance of a packed stadium, it might occur once more. Decide: Goldberg to win the title

Uncooked Girls’s Championship — Nikki A.S.H. (c) vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Aptitude 

Nikki A.S.H. does not really feel like a longtime champion. Her Cash within the Financial institution cash-in was a pleasant second, however the “Virtually a Superhero” gimmick just isn’t precisely setting the world on hearth and when it totally runs out of steam, it should get unhealthy shortly. Ripley struggled as champion, not fairly seeming able to run with the ball fairly but, although she clearly will probably be as she will get extra most important roster expertise. It might not make followers glad, however Aptitude continues to be the highest of the heap on the Uncooked facet and it simply appears she is essentially the most cheap decide to depart SummerSlam with the belt. Decide: Charlotte Aptitude to win the title 

SmackDown Girls’s Championship — Bianca Belair (c) vs. Sasha Banks

The one assure right here is that the match goes to be excellent. Belair and Banks proved their elite-level abilities mesh completely at WrestleMania. Having much more expertise working collectively can solely serve to make the rematch even higher. Banks successful the title again solely is sensible when you’re going for 50/50 reserving, which WWE usually is. Nonetheless, Belair retaining is sensible so long as WWE believes they’ll discover fascinating new challengers for her and never preserve operating Carmella and Zelina Vega out week after week. Decide: Bianca Belair to retain the title 

Uncooked Tag Crew Championship — AJ Kinds & Omos (c) vs. Randy Orton & Riddle

There might be no extra pointless consequence than Kinds and Omos retaining. They’re a fantastic tag crew act, however the lengthy construct to Orton lastly embracing Riddle as a real good friend must have the payoff of them successful the tag titles. The consequence might make for one of many loudest reactions of the evening. Decide: Randy Orton & Riddle win the titles

SmackDown Tag Crew Championship — The Usos (c) vs. Rey & Dominik Mysterio

It is a disgrace that The Usos nearly misplaced steam once they received the titles. The intrigue of the household drama actually died when Jimmy, Jey and Roman all acquired on the identical web page. It does not assist that the Rey and Dominik rivalry has largely appeared to serve Reigns’ story greater than construct something significant for the groups concerned. Decide: The Usos retain the titles

United States Championship — Sheamus (c) vs. Damian Priest

Sheamus was one of many males who actually thrived throughout the ThunderDome period, not due to the dearth of a crowd however as a result of he acquired the chance to remind everybody how good he’s. His United States title run has been a bit hit and miss however WWE usually appears to battle to determine what to do with somebody as soon as they win a belt. It is Priest’s flip with the belt now, one thing he deserves after doing a great job of serving to carry the Dangerous Bunny match to a powerful diploma of success at WrestleMania. Decide: Damian Priest to win the title

Edge vs. Seth Rollins

Edge’s place on the roster just isn’t one the place wins matter. He is a particular attraction who can ship a compelling story forward of massive matches. Rollins continues to be a man who sits in WWE’s again pocket as an any time title challenger. That stated, Rollins vs. Reigns does not actually work within the present panorama with each serving as prime heels on SmackDown. Figuring out that Rollins successful has much less worth with Reigns on prime, it suggests an Edge win is the best way to go. Decide: Edge to win

Drew McIntyre vs. Jinder Mahal

Put up-championship McIntyre has been a little bit of a multitude. His rambling promos with “historical past classes” had been a catastrophe and now he is continually threatening to stab individuals along with his sword. Veer and Shanky shouldn’t have been banned from ringside since there’s extra worth in McIntyre overcoming further odds than merely beating Mahal, which is what is going to occur. Decide: Drew McIntyre to win

Alexa Bliss vs. Eva Marie

I do not anticipate this to truly be a match in any sense. Eva Marie is not actually doing a lot for in-ring work, which suggests WWE is utilizing her accurately. Bliss is a witch with a magic doll. Anticipate a little bit of interference from Doudrop, some nonsense from the doll and a fast Bliss win — if the bell ever rings in any respect. Decide: Alexa Bliss to win
