WWE SummerSlam is LIVE this Sunday from Toronto, Canada. Very much looking forward to the event as its one of my favourites. Time to run through the match card with predictions. Here we go!
{UPDATE! Two more matches have been added to the card. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross will be putting their WWE Women's Tag Team Titles on the line vs. The IIconics. and Apollo will be facing Buddy Murphy. Below are my predictions for both matches.}
WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Match:
Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross (c) vs. The IIconics
Winners: AND STILL WWE Women's Tag Team Champions: Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross.
Apollo vs. Buddy Murphy Winner: Buddy Murphy.

WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Match:

Winners: AND STILL WWE Women's Tag Team Champions: Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross.
Apollo vs. Buddy Murphy Winner: Buddy Murphy.
Cruiserweight Championship Match: Drew Gulak (c) vs. Oney Lorcan
Winner: AND STILL WWE Cruiserweight Champion: Drew Gulak.
Goldberg vs. Dolph Ziggler
This match is redemption for Goldberg because of the terrible match he and Undertaker had in Saudi Arabia. This match won't last long. Spear, Jackhammer. 1,2,3.
Winner: Goldberg.
SmackDown Women's Championship Match: Bayley (c) vs. Ember Moon
I would love to see Ember win the title, Unfortunately, I don't see it happening here.
Winner: AND STILL SmackDown Women's Champion: Bayley.
United States Championship Match: AJ Styles (c) vs. Ricochet
AJ and Gallows and Anderson have just reunited as The Club. AJ won the title just a few weeks ago. I feel that the title is about to change hands here. It will be a great moment in Toronto on a big stage at SummerSlam for Ricochet.
Winner: AND NEW United States Champion: Ricochet.
"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt vs. Finn Balor
Balor is rumoured to be taking a break from WWE after this so he is losing here.
Winner: Bray Wyatt.
Raw Women's Championship Match
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Natalya (Submission Match)
Everyone is expecting Becky to win this match. I was the same, however, I've changed my mind because, I would have Ronda Rousey make a surprise return and cost Becky her title and help Natalya win the title in her home country of Canada. Ronda's return and music hitting would blow the roof off the place, it would be a show stealer! Winner: AND NEW RAW Women's Champion: Natalya.
Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon: If Owens loses, he will quit WWE
There is no way Owens is losing here. Time to remove Shane from WWE TV. There goes the money! Winner: Kevin Owens.
Charlotte Flair vs. Trish Stratus
While it will be nice to see Trish win in front of her hometown crowd, I don't think it will be that way so I've picked "The Queen" Winner: Charlotte Flair.
WWE Championship Match: Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Randy Orton
I was in two minds as to who was winning this match. After much deliberation etc, I'm picking Kofi to remain champion. Winner: AND STILL WWE Champion: Kofi Kingston. I've based that decision on Kofi's next possible opponent, for me, that would be "The Fiend" he would attack Kofi while he is celebrating in the ring and the new story would begin from there. So there you have it.
Universal Championship Match: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Seth Rollins
Brock will be overconfident, he will then make a mistake and Seth will roll Brock up for the "shock" win. Winner: AND NEW Universal Champion: Seth Rollins.
As I write this, there is no match involving Roman Reigns, perhaps we might get an in-ring segment at SummerSlam with him and Daniel Bryan and Rowan. Notice how there is no tag team match on the card? I wouldn't be surprised to see one added. Speaking of matches yet to be announced for Sunday. I hope the Intercontinental title match between Ali and Shinsuke Nakamura gets added.
Thanks for reading and enjoy SummerSlam if you're watching.
