Predicting who will be holding all the titles at the end of WWE SummerSlam 2019

The Universal and the WWE Champion!

We are just a day away from the biggest party of the summer, as WWE SummerSlam will go down on August 11, live from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada.

As of now, a total of ten matches have been announced for the show, the highlight of them being the in-ring return of Bray Wyatt as The Fiend to take on Finn Balor. Surprisingly, as many as four titles are not scheduled to be defended on the show. With this being the second biggest PPV of the year, WWE has a huge task to determine who all will walk out of the show with gold around their waists.

In this article, let's predict all the champions that will walk out of SummerSlam 2019 with their hands held high. Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Note: The RAW, SD, and Women's Tag Team Titles along with the Intercontinental Title are not scheduled to be defended on the show. Hence, the champions for those titles would naturally remain the same. Therefore I have not mentioned them in this article.


#6 Cruiserweight Champion: Drew Gulak

The Cruiserweight Champion!

Not many of you might be watching 205 live, but the wrestlers have been having some amazing matches on that show lately. Someone like Chad Gable should have, arguably, been in the title picture for the cruiserweight championship at SummerSlam.

Instead, we are getting a match between Oney Lorcan and the current cruiserweight champion, Drew Gulak. No doubt the two are talented, but Gable is a much bigger star and someone who could take the brand to new heights of success.

It's safe to assume that Gulak will retain his title at SummerSlam, let's cross our fingers for Gable be the next challenger for the title.


#5 United States Champion: AJ Styles

A force to reckon!

The Phenomenal One AJ Styles is one of the few superstars who can deliver both as a heel and a face. The faction of Styles and the Good Brothers (Gallows and Anderson), the OC, has so much potential to become a major part of the WWE programming if used properly.

Ricochet earned the opportunity to challenge Styles for his United States title at SummerSlam after winning a gauntlet match on RAW a few weeks ago. A match involving two top athletes like Styles and Ricochet is sure to be a contender for match of the night.

As for the result, whatever the match might be, expect Styles to walk out as the US Champion, maybe with some help from his brothers.

#4 SmackDown Women's Champion: Ember Moon

About time Ember Moon gets to shine!
About time Ember Moon gets to shine!

After months of being on the sidelines, Ember Moon is finally getting a chance to shine on the main roster as she will be challenging Bayley for her SmackDown Women's title. From the looks of it, she'll be portrayed as someone who's neither a proper babyface, nor a heel.

As impressive as Bayley has been as the champion, a victory here for Ember would be a great way to push her as the next big star in the women's division.

This is not a straight-forward pick, but our bet's on the War Goddess.


#3 RAW Women's Champion: Becky Lynch

The Man!
The Man!

With all due respect to The Man, Becky Lynch hasn't been as impressive lately as she was during the Road to WrestleMania. Though saying that her character has gone stale would be too harsh, she needs to make some changes to get back to the top.

At SummerSlam, she will be facing Natalya, in what is not really a SummerSlam-caliber match or feud. Natalya hardly seems like a major threat to Lynch, and unless WWE has some huge return lined-up (maybe, Sasha Banks?), this will be yet another dominating outing for the RAW Women's Champion.

#2 WWE Champion: Kofi Kingston

A full circle for Kofi vs Orton!

After having a fairytale WrestleMania moment to capture the only title eluding him over the years, the current WWE Champion Kofi Kingston, unfortunately, hasn't had a very memorable reign.

Though he still is a fan favorite, his reign as the champion hasn't gone well with many. Be it the continuous involvement of the New Day, or him throwing pancakes during his entrance, he still is missing that one major feud that could cement his reign as the WWE champion.

His match with Randy Orton at SummerSlam could be exactly what he needs as the two have a long history against each other. A perfect heel like the Viper will nicely compliment a top babyface, and a win over him would solidify Kofi's reign. It's great to see Big E and Xavier Woods not included in the feud as this portrays Kofi as a solid singles wrestler.

Storyline wise, a victory for Orton does not make any sense here, so it looks all but certain that Kofi will be walking out of SummerSlam still the WWE Champion. It would be a huge shock if Vince lets Orton walkout as a 14-time champion.

Who do you think would finally dethrone Kofi as the WWE Champion?

#1 Universal Champion: Brock Lesnar

Can the Beast get revenge for his WrestleMania loss?
Can the Beast get revenge for his WrestleMania loss?

Now, this is a tough one. In a match that would most certainly be the main event, Brock Lesnar will be defending his Universal Championship against the man (not Becky Lynch, The Man's man) who defeated him for the same title at WrestleMania 35, earlier this year.

Lesnar won the title at Extreme Rules after he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Seth Rollins, much to the displeasure of many. For once, we can't rule out yet another victory for Rollins at SummerSlam, as he has been the so-called "face" of the company recently.

But it's hard to believe WWE making Lesnar the surprise MITB winner, only to lead to an underwhelming story like this which leads to him losing to Rollins again.

On the contrary, if Lesnar defeats Seth at SummerSlam, and someone like Drew McIntyre beats up Brock after the match, it would be a great ending for the PPV and would push him to the top of the food chain instantly.

Or maybe a Paul Heyman turn on Lesnar, realizing that his client is not "best for business", considering his new role as the executive manager of RAW.

Who are you rooting to walk out of SummerSlam as champions? Let us know in the comments section below.
