“We made it to Night 2 of SummerSlam, and the Sunday card might just have the most volatile lineup of the weekend. From Chad Gable chasing IC gold against Penta to Roman vs. Seth capping off the weekend, let’s break down what to expect when the bell rings.”

**MATCH 1 — No. 1 Contender’s Match: Sami Zayn vs. Finn Bálor — This is an interesting matchup, and honestly, I’m a bit torn on what to expect here.

Sami Zayn is doing fantastic work as an “all over the place” heel right now. He’s leaning into that erratic, unhinged energy, and while I could definitely see WWE putting world championship gold back on him for a proper reign down the road, now doesn’t feel like the right time.

On the flip side, getting Finn Bálor separated from The Judgment Day is long overdue. Being in that faction started feeling like a major setback for his career, and he’s desperately needed something to jumpstart his singles momentum again. Winning a No. 1 contender’s spot at SummerSlam is exactly the kind of trigger WWE needs to pull to get Finn back on track as a top-tier singles star.

Prediction: Finn Bálor gets the win to cement his singles resurgence.

**Match 2 — United States Championship: Trick Williams (c) vs. Baron Corbin

I just can’t see Baron Corbin walking away with the title here. To be honest, what I’m really looking forward to is an eventual main roster feud between Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes. Their story in NXT was an absolute classic, and if WWE handles it with the care it deserves, bringing that rivalry to Friday nights could be massive.

Dropping the belt to Corbin right now doesn’t make much sense for Trick’s trajectory. Plus, with Trick’s partner in crime having his back at ringside, Corbin is going to have to play a flawless game. One wrong move or distraction, and Trick will capitalise in a flash.

Prediction: Trick Williams retains.

**MATCH 3 — Interim WWE Women’s Championship (5-Woman Ladder Match)

Charlotte Flair vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Chelsea Green vs. Jade Cargill vs. TBD

Ladder matches are always pure, unpredictable chaos, but adding an interim title to the mix makes the stakes even higher. Every woman in this match brings a completely different dynamic to the ring.

Chelsea Green is guaranteed to deliver top-tier comedy and ladder spots, while Tiffany Stratton’s athleticism is built for a match like this. But when you look at the heavy hitters, it really comes down to Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill. Jade still has unfinished business at the top, but the rumours heavily favour Charlotte walking out with the win—and honestly, it makes total sense.

Anyone who remembers their legendary war at WrestleMania 39 knows what happens when Charlotte and Rhea Ripley share a ring. Putting the interim belt on Charlotte sets up an absolute blockbuster unification match whenever Rhea makes her return, while keeping the tension between Charlotte and Jade at a boiling point in the meantime.

Prediction: Charlotte Flair climbs the ladder to capture the Interim Championship.

**MATCH 4 — Intercontinental Championship: Penta (c) vs. Chad Gable

If you blink during this match, you’re going to miss half the action. Putting Penta’s explosive lucha libre style against Chad Gable’s world-class, lightning-fast technical grappling is a recipe for non-stop speed.

Penta’s raw striking power and fearless pacing make him incredibly tough to put away, but Gable has been operating on a completely different level. Beyond his elite mat wrestling, Gable deserves massive props for his behind-the-scenes commitment—his incredible character work with El Grande Americano proved just how much of a workhorse he really is. Giving Gable the IC Title here feels like the perfect, long-overdue reward for all that dedication. Expect a rapid-fire series of reversals and high-impact spots before Gable finally locks in the win.

Prediction: Chad Gable wins the Intercontinental Championship.

**MAIN EVENT — Roman Reigns (c) vs. Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship!

Let’s be honest: it feels like the World Heavyweight Championship is being held hostage all over again. Roman barely defends the title, and winning it has clearly gone straight back to his head. We are essentially watching Bloodline 2.0 unfold in real-time. That arrogant, “holier-than-thou” attitude where Roman acts like he gets to grant permission on whether you’re worthy of a title shot is infuriating—and it’s precisely why this match with Seth Rollins carries so much weight.

If there is anyone who holds the psychological key to cracking Roman’s armour, it’s Seth. Their history runs deeper than anyone else’s in WWE. Roman can hide behind his schedule and his entitlement, but inside the ring, Seth knows how to get under his skin like no one else. Roman might try to dictate the terms, but Seth is coming to tear down the kingdom.

Prediction: Seth Rollins dethrones Roman Reigns to take the World Heavyweight Championship and free up the main event scene.
