Things are getting exciting, folks! With Summerslam happening in August, the card’s still coming together but there are a lot of rumours flying around. I don’t take everything I hear seriously, but some things being discussed could make for some exciting matches.
So, Damien Priest is gonna be defending his RAW Men’s title against Gunther at SummerSlam. If no one messes with them, it should be a pretty sweet match. I hope they give ’em enough time to really tell the story, ya know? The buzz is that the belt might switch hands. With Damien turning into a “babyface,” it’d mean putting the belt on a bully (just my opinion, though). Gotta give Gunter props, though—he’s darn good at what he does. The dude just straight-up demanded that Damien come out and hand him the belt, no fuss, no muss.
Sami Zayn’s SummerSlam opponent is up for grabs as Ilja Dragunov and Braun Brekker collide in a battle for the ages! These two have had some epic showdowns in NXT, and I’m pumped to see what they do on the big stage. I’m rooting for Ilja to pull off the upset, but I have a gut feeling that Braun might find a way to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The ref had to call things off because Ilja was out cold. Braun took advantage of the situation and speared Ilja’s head into the apron, securing the win due to a technicality. Rough stuff, man!
Lyra Valkeria, with Carter and Chance by her side, has been on fire ever since she joined the league. Now, she’s up against Sonya Deville, who has Stark and Baszler in her corner. This one’s gonna be tough for Lyra, for sure. It took Stark and Baszler’s interference to help Sonya pull off the win last time.
So, CM Punk was in the ring, just minding his business, when Drew showed up to stir the pot. Turns out, Drew got reinstated, and Punk’s all cleared to go too. Guess what? Their match is officially on for SummerSlam! But hold up, there’s a catch. Adam laid down the law, saying if either of them throws the first punch, the match is cancelled, and the puncher gets suspended. Talk about high stakes!
But wait, there’s more! Seth Rollins has some special news to share. Get this: he’s gonna be the guest referee for the match! Can you believe that? What a twist!
There’s gonna be a 6-person tag team match, featuring Xavier Woods’ team (since Kofi is out with an injury). They’ll be going up against Final Testament. And let me tell you, things are about to get messy. The Final Testament is not playing around!
Rhea Ripley is totally over Liv and Dom’s drama. She told Liv to go get Dominik and take him away because she was sick of him. I would love to see Rhea give Dominik a good punch in the face. Weirdly, Liv calls him “Daddy Dom.” Dominik finally stood up to Liv, which made Rhea happy. But I don’t know how long that happiness will last. I think Dominik is going to turn on Rhea at SummerSlam and help Liv keep her title.
Get ready for a fierce battle between Zoey Stark and Zelina Vega in a singles match! Stark’s got some serious strength, but she’s not alone – she’s bringing Deville and Baszler to the ringside for backup. Zelina’s all healed up, despite her taped-up arm. But watch out for Vakeria, Carter/Chance, and Code Red (Zelina’s finishing move) – they’re gonna try to steal the win with some sneaky tactics and help from Vega’s brace. This one’s gonna be intense!
The main event is a tag match between Jey Uso and Sami Zayn against Finn Balor and JD McDonagh. It all started when Carol and JD went after Jey, thinking they were doing Rhea a favour, but it ended up making her mad. I expect some interference from other Judgment members during the match, with Carlos and Dom at ringside. It’s been 4-on-2 for most of the match, but Sami and Jey managed to fight off the double team and get the win. However, Braun Brekker had the last word, spearing Sami after the match.
