WWE SUMMERSLAM PREDICTIONS
WWE Championship: John Cena (c) vs. Cody Rhodes
Geno Mrosko: I’m not fully convinced by the recent face turn on SmackDown, but I can envision a double turn scenario, hinting at a potential title change. My prediction: Cody Rhodes.
Sean Rueter: Cena’s return to his respectful persona feels ambiguous. This adds intrigue to the match, but I’m inclined to think they’ll set the stage for Cody to emerge as a villain. My choice: Cody Rhodes.
Women’s World Championship: Naomi (c) vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Iyo Sky
Geno Mrosko: Taking the title off Naomi this early would likely upset fans, especially if it’s for Ripley. My pick: Naomi.
Marcus Benjamin: Naomi’s title reign has just begun, and I don’t see her losing it yet. My prediction: Naomi.
Intercontinental Championship: Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. AJ Styles
Geno Mrosko: The buildup to this match has been compelling, and I expect Styles to deliver, but I believe Dominik will retain. My choice: Dominik Mysterio.
Claire Elizabeth: Given AJ Styles’ experience and pent-up frustration, I can see him dominating the match. My pick: AJ Styles.
WWE Tag Team Championship: The Wyatt Sicks (c) vs. The Street Profits vs. Fraxiom vs. DIY vs. Motor City Machine Guns vs. Andrade & Rey Fenix
Geno Mrosko: While I don’t have strong feelings about this match, I expect it to be entertaining. My pick: The Wyatt Sicks.
Claire Elizabeth: This match will likely be chaotic, and I’m excited to see Joe Gacy with gold. I predict: The Wyatts will retain their titles.
