SummerSlam 2020 Predictions and Match Card:
The predictions and the match card for WWE SummerSlam 2020, are as follows:
Note: More matches will be added to the card when announced.
WWE Championship Match: Drew McIntyre (c) vs Randy Orton
Randy Orton has been in dangerous form of late when it comes to his run on WWE RAW. While he did defeat Edge at WWE Backlash, he also put the Rated-R Superstar out of commission in kayfabe. Edge had suffered an injury, and he was written off WWE TV until he could recover from his tricep tear. In that time, Randy Orton has taken out Christian and The Big Show, living up to his Legend Killer moniker.
Drew McIntyre is no rookie either. While Orton does have a lot more experience than him in the company, the WWE Champion managed to find his own place at the top of the roster. He has defeated each Superstar that he has faced, including Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, and Bobby Lashley. Now, he is facing his biggest challenge in the form of The Viper, Randy Orton.
Prediction: Drew McIntyre defeats Randy Orton to retain the WWE Championship
Dominik Mysterio vs Seth Rollins in a Street Fight
After Seth Rollins removed Rey Mysterio's eye at WWE Extreme Rules in the brutal Eye For An Eye Match, Dominik Mysterio had every reason to be upset with the man who injured his father. So, when Seth Rollins somehow expected that Dominik would join his cause, it was not a surprise to find that the younger Mysterio had some other plans.
The two have come to blows over the past few weeks, with Dominik displaying that he has picked up quite a few things from his father after all. The two will face each other, in what is sure to be a very brutal match, at SummerSlam.
Prediction: Seth Rollins defeats Dominik Mysterio
WWE United States Championship Match: Apollo Crews vs MVP
MVP, ever since he has come back to WWE, has found a run of form that no one expected from him. While the wrestling veteran has surrounded himself with two dominant forces on the WWE RAW roster in the form of Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, he has not been able to defeat Apollo Crews when it mattered the most.
Apollo Crews is currently in the middle of the biggest push of his WWE career. As the United States Champion, he has proved himself again and again, most recently by defeating MVP to become the Undisputed Champion.
Prediction: MVP
WWE RAW Tag Team Championship Match: The Street Profits (c) vs Andrade and Angel Garza
The Street Profits — Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins — have shown their skills inside the ring... as well as outside during their competition with The Viking Raiders. But with Angel Garza and Andrade finally on the same page, this could spell the end of their tag title run at WWE SummerSlam. The two teams are set to face each other, with Zelina Vega and possibly even Bianca Belair at ringside.
Prediction: Andrade and Angel Garza defeats The Street Profits
WWE Universal Championship Match: Braun Strowman (c) vs Bray Wyatt
Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt are set to face off for the third time in recent months at WWE SummerSlam. With Strowman getting one win over Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House character earlier in the year, and with Wyatt's cult leader personality subduing and apparently drowning Braun Strowman in the Swamp Fight at Extreme Rules, there's a lot riding on this. Only this time, Braun Strowman, the Monster Among Men, will be facing Bray Wyatt's 'The Fiend' character. Also, two weeks out from the event, what exactly is happening between Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss?
Prediction: Bray Wyatt's The Fiend becomes the new WWE Universal Champion
RAW Women's Championship Match: Sasha Banks (c) vs Asuka
Asuka will have her work cut out for her at WWE SummerSlam. She will be facing Sasha Banks in a huge match for the RAW Women's Championship. Also, with Shayna Baszler announcing her intentions of facing the winner in the future, both women will have to keep their eyes open.
Prediction: Asuka
SmackDown Women's Championship Match: Bayley (c) vs Asuka
Asuka will not only be facing Sasha Banks at SummerSlam, but also her best friend, Bayley. Asuka's match against Bayley was decided after she won the Triple Brand Battle Royal.
If Asuka does lost this match while beating Sasha Banks, it could set up the Bayley vs Sasha Banks feud that everyone has been waiting for.
Prediction: Bayley
Mandy Rose vs Sonya Deville in a 'Loser leaves WWE' Match
Sonya Deville has not had the best time of late, with an attempted kidnapping on her in real life. Now, however, she was supposed to face off against her real-life friend Mandy Rose in their bitter feud, where the loser will have to have their head shaved.
Now, the stakes have been upped and the loser will have to leave WWE altogether.
Prediction: Mandy Rose wins
