\nBayley (c) vs. Asuka, Smackdown Women\u2019s Championship match<\/h3>\nSasha Banks (c) vs. Asuka, Raw Women\u2019s Championship match<\/h3>\n
Story in a nutshell: To get revenge for Kairi Sane being forced into retirement by Bayley and Sasha Banks, Asuka maneuvered herself into challenging for both belts in one night.<\/p>\n
At The Horror Show at Extreme Rules, Sasha Banks stole Asuka\u2019s championship with Bayley\u2019s help. During a match to resolve the ownership of the belt, Bayley brutalized Kairi Sane forcing her to retire. Asuka wanted to get her hands back on Banks at Summerslam, but to try to avoid her, Banks placed Bayley in Asuka\u2019s way. Much to Bank\u2019s chagrin, Asuka beat Bayley. Then Asuka entered and won a battle royale to win the right to face Bayley at Summerslam, too. The real story though, is what is looks like to be the beginning of the disintegration of the Bayley and Banks relationship as they\u2019ve begun to bicker with each other and Summerslam will be the next step in their inevitable split.<\/p>\n
Prediction: I\u2019m relying on WWE booking rules for this one. Bayley has been pinned twice recently so she will win, likely with Sasha\u2019s help. Then, since Asuka will be worn for her match with Sasha, Asuka pins Banks, probably due to a miscue by Bayley to further their split.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll never see it coming: Kairi Sane returns to help Asuka win.<\/p>\n
\nDominik Mysterio vs. Seth Rollins – Street fight<\/h3>\n
Story in a nutshell: A recently signed Dominik Mysterio tries to avenge his father\u2019s eye and the hellacious (and I mean HELLACIOUS) kendo stick beating he received at the hands of Seth Rollins (and Murphy).<\/p>\n
For weeks (months? years?) Seth Rollins has claimed to be the Monday Night Messiah and extracted a sacrifice from Rey Mysterio (specifically his eye) in order to \u201csave\u201d Monday Night Raw. Dominik signed with the WWE and signed a match with Rollins. For his trouble, Dominik received one of the most brutal beatings I\u2019ve seen in wrestling.<\/p>\n
Prediction: Dominik wins. No, I haven\u2019t lost my mind, and this isn\u2019t \u201cYou\u2019ll never see it coming\u201d. There has been way too much back-and-forth between Samoa Joe and Seth Rollins. If Joe helps Dominik win, it can lead to a Joe\/Rollins feud.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll never see it coming: How do I top my prediction? I can\u2019t but here is a swerve they can pull; Aleister Black shows up but turns on the Mysterios, joining Rollins.<\/p>\n
\nApollo Crews (c) vs. MVP – U.S. Championship match<\/h3>\n
Story in a nutshell: MVP REALLY wants to send Apollo Crews a message that turning down an opportunity to join the Hurt Business by beating him for the title.<\/p>\n
Originally Apollo Crews and MVP were supposed to meet at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules but due to injuries suffered at the hands of Bobby Lashley, Crews was ruled out of the match. MVP declared himself US Champion and unveiled a new belt. When Crews returned, he defeated MVP, taking the new belt and agreeing to a rematch at Summerslam, only this time, by beating Shelton Benjamin, the rest of the Hurt Business are barred from ringside.<\/p>\n
Prediction: Apollo Crews wins, setting up a match with Bobby Lashley next.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll never see it coming: Cedrick Alexander takes MVP up on his offer, turns on Crews, and joins the Hurt Business.<\/p>\n
\nMandy Rose vs. Sonya Deville – No disqualification, loser leaves WWE match<\/h3>\n
Story in a nutshell: For months now, Sonya Deville has been attacking Mandy Rose verbally and physically due to her good looks and Mandy has had enough.<\/p>\n
After being attacked by Sonya and having her hair cut, Mandy went on the offensive, challenging Sonya to a hair vs. hair match. Likely due to an unfortunate real-life event requiring her to be written out of the story, Sonya upped the stakes to a \u201closer leaves the WWE\u201d match.<\/p>\n
Prediction: Due to real world circumstances, it is probable that Sonya will be taking time off to deal with personal issues.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll never see it coming: To prove to Sonya that she doesn\u2019t rely on her looks, Mandy shaves her head anyway.<\/p>\n
\nThe Street Profits (c) vs. Andrade & Angel Garza, Raw Tag Team Championship match<\/h3>\n
Story in a nutshell: After (allegedly) being poisoned by Selina Vega, a recovered Montez Ford joins his Street Profit partner Angelo Dawkins to defend the championship from Andrade and Angel Garza.<\/p>\n
During a series of matches where one member of each team faced each other, Montez Ford mysteriously collapsed. It was revealed that he was poisoned. Blame was promptly leveled at Selina Vega who denied it, but video evidence proved otherwise.<\/p>\n
Prediction: It\u2019s time to make Andrade and Angel Garza tag champions. They can then feud with the Viking Raiders or Cedric Alexander & Ricochet.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll never see it coming: Andrade or Angel Garza collapse in the same manner Ford did and the Street Profits retain thanks to some timely assistance from a poison wielding Bianca Belair.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll never see it coming, either: It wasn\u2019t Vega behind the poisoning, it was Demi Burnett.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll really never see it coming: It wasn\u2019t Vega behind the poisoning, it was Charly Caruso.<\/p>\n
And now I\u2019m just making a mockery of this whole thing: \u201cIt was me Austin! It was me all along, Austin! You all bought it!\u201d Vince McMahon.<\/p>\n
