Summerslam just doesn’t feel all that amazing to me this year. This are some interesting match-ups and it’s looking like a lot of big storylines are juuuuust starting to hit the ground running. It just doesn’t have a “big event” feel to it like Summerslams used to. Hopefully I’m wrong, but this show will probably end up being lackluster except for a match or moment or two.
CM Punk is going to throw a lot of ugly looking forearms at Brock Lesnar because THAT is totally believable. You want to get CLOSER to the monster to hit him. The dude needs to learn how to punch before he wants to call himself “Best In The World”. Seriously. Look at his strikes. His forearms and kicks? Good stuff. Punches? Almost non-existent and when they do show up its weak looking. THAT is one of my many reasons this match doesn’t work for me. Brock Lesnar wins.
Alberto Del Rio is a solid Heavyweight Champion. I see no reason why the always-awkward Christian should beat him. Kane and Bray Wyatt should be a lot of fun, but there is no way Kane is going to win this. Bray Wyatt via anything. Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow are having a great feud! It’s one of the highlights of the company at the moment. I’d love for it to keep going so I think Sandow steals the win and makes Cody chase him down. AJ is going to throw another tantrum and Big E. is going to quickly man-up and drop here because there is no way that Dolph Ziggler and Kaitlyn should lose. Ziggler is on too big of a run right now. He’s RIIIIGHT there. I think they’re grooming him for a potential Royal Rumble win, but that’s months away.
Of course I’d LOVE to see Daniel Bryan defeat John Cena, but it’s REALLY hard to bet against Cena. I’ve wanted him to lose a million times and it never happens. I’m going to get ballsy and say that after a long match John Cena will defeat Daniel Bryan and then Randy Orton will cash in on him. From there Orton is the heel front as Vince’s ideal champion. We’ll see. I just hope the show doesn’t suck. Slumberslam 2013 coming from the Zzz Zzz Zzz Arena….
