Bold SummerSlam 2019 Predictions

This weekend one of my personal favourite WWE PPV’s will take place, SummerSlam. The biggest party of the summer is set to take over Canada this year and we have a pretty awesome line featuring Hall of Famers, must-see title collisions, and important matches for an array of current WWE superstars. Heading into one of the biggest wrestling events of the year, however, what can fans expect from this weekend's must-see show?

Bray Wyatt Picks up the Win

While we have bared witness to one on one encounters between Bray Wyatt and Finn Balor in the past the presence of this new Wyatt has set up a far greater intense and must-see collision. Fans are hooked on anything Bray related and his haunting new persona has everyone excited! As two incredibly skilled superstars, this is a match given enough time could so easily go down as a highlight of the night and it’s important for both of these men that they make an IMPACT. Wyatt must pick up the victory here to kick start this new run on a high and prove a major point, however, the quality of this match is equally important. This has all the potential to be a great match and the WW will either keep things short and sweet to show a dominant Wyatt or a lengthy encounter to highlight how damn good both men are.

Sasha Banks makes a Return

It’s been months since fans last witnessed Sasha Banks on their screen and with her social media presence stronger than ever and forever increasing headlines regarding her comeback it really is a waiting game when it comes to her return date but could SummerSlam be the night the WWE Universe welcomes back the Boss? With Bayley set to compete in a huge women’s title bout as well as Becky Lynch this Sunday would be an excellent chance for Banks to make her return and make an impact in the process taking out one of these women and setting her sights on gold once again.  

Seth Rollins Doesn’t Walk Away as Universal Champion

I will b the first to admit that I wasn’t all too happy at all to see Brock Lesnar not only win this years MITB Ladder match but go on to reclaim the Universal Champion. Rollins capturing the title back at Wrestlemania marked the start of something new on Monday nights and his short reign proved a great deal! However, with that in mind, I do believe that despite Rollins being the right man to walk out of Summer Slam this weekend as champion fans will, in fact, see Lesnar continue to stand tall. Regardless of the outcome of this match, its important these two stars end their rivalry this weekend. It's just as important that Rollins has a standout performance and puts up a true fight with plenty of heart. In my heart, I would love to see Seth recapture the Universal championship but it appears as though the Beast still has plenty of work to do as champ (yet again) and we may have to accept another lengthy reign from Lesnar. 

Charlotte Flair vs Trish Stratus Steals the Show

One of the matches I’m most excited about this weekend is the one on one contest between Charlotte Flair and WWE Hall of Famer, Trish Stratus. Now, this is a dream match if I ever did see one! As two of the most important and standout women in the history of the WWE Women’s division, this is a contest that has fan very excited! The collision between these two women is sure to highlight just how far women’s wrestling has come in the WWE in a matchup between two of the biggest names of two different eras. Given the time Stratus and Flair are given I have no doubt whatsoever this could easily be one of the best matches of the night and of the year so far. An important and massive draw of a match I can honestly say I cannot wait to see these two women collide this Sunday.

Kofi Kingston Retains the WWE Championship

A programme that I have really been enjoying recently involved Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton. While I never truly believed I would have such a strong interest in this rivalry have connected their history and work from two thousand and nine so well that everything just makes all the sense in the world and has made for a great angle! The two have such a great story behind them, the history is strong, and the chemistry works equally as well! Heading into this matchup I do also believe that this match could surprise fans and go down as a highlight encounter of the night but the biggest prediction I have is that Kingston will walk out still the WWE Champion. This is arguably the most intense and personal rivalry since Kingston captured the title and walking away with the win here would be huge. It should also be noted that it seems unlikely that now will be the right time to once again book Orton as champion.

Shane McMahon Will Impress… Again

Say what you want about Shane McMahon and his current role in the WWE but there is no denying he most certainly has had a fair degree of solid performances in the ring this year alone including a Wrestlemania standout against The Miz. This Sunday McMahon will once again step in the ring with another fan favourite in the form of Kevin Owens and I have admit that I’m very much interested in this match! The rivalry and the story as a whole have genuinely been handled well and while I and many are most certainly over having to watch so much Shane McMahon content the new role in which Owens has adopted is an exciting and very entertaining one at that! While I’m not expecting this match to steal the show it's sure to be a huge win for Owens and the encounter itself, I do believe will surprise fans in just how solid it is. We can expect some risky moves pulled out the bag here and McMahon to quite possibly walk out with another impressive match up behind him this year. 

As always, I will be live tweeting throughout this Sunday's SummerSlam PPV and I will be reviewing the show in full next week! For now, you can let me know what your predictions are by leaving a comment below or by tweeting me over at @TezangiVictoria.
