WWE SummerSlam 2019: Predicting the quality of every match

#9 Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon

Here we go again.

If you'll recall, it was at SummerSlam two years ago when these two began their overlong feud that dragged all the way to WrestleMania 34. Now they're doing battle again, albeit with the roles reversed.

Kevin Owens is channeling the spirit of Stone Cold Steve Austin against another McMahon, but it really hasn't been that great, even if it is getting the former over.

Despite all of it, there's not much pop to this match. Shane McMahon is the worst thing on WWE television right now and has been for almost the entirety of the year. The best we can hope for is that Owens will put us out of our misery and let us move on.

#8 Becky Lynch vs. Natalya

Hopefully it isn't too long.

Exactly a year after the genesis of "The Man" persona, Becky Lynch's SummerSlam opponent this time around is the technically sound but unexciting Natalya.

There's little realistic chance that Lynch will lose her championship tomorrow night, so that lack of suspense will take away from the match on its own. The most we can hope for is a well-choreographed match that sucks us into the action, although Lynch hasn't always been the most consistent performer on the technical end of things.

Natalya should bring the most out of her but again, there's hardly any pop.

Hopefully Becky Lynch will get a certain NXT newcomer for an opponent after SummerSlam.
