WWE SummerSlam 2013: Predictions

Mixed Tag match – Dolph Ziggler & Kaitlyn vs. Big E & AJ Lee

AJ Lee

There’s so many ways this match could go, and even though AJ is Divas champion, and Layla will most likely be ringside, I don’t think AJ and Big E have a chance in this one. Big E is a big and powerful man, and AJ has been quite the submission wrestler, but Ziggler is a solid all-round wrestler, and crafty, while Kaitlyn is a powerhouse.

I just don’t see Big E ready to win at a pay-per-view yet, and both Ziggler and Kaitlyn need this win to push forward. I’m almost wondering if there’s going to be a kiss at the end of this match, but I’m not sure who might be kissing who.

Kendra’s Predicted Winner – Dolph Ziggler & Kaitlyn

Damien Sandow vs. Cody Rhodes

I think it’s too early for this match. I don’t think these two are ready to face off, even though I know they will need to at some point. They need more interest, more build before they really go at it in the ring. I do think Cody is going over in this match, but it’s not the end of them, not by a long shot.

Kendra’s Predicted Winner – Cody Rhodes

World Heavyweight Championship Match – Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Christian

I really, really hope that Christian comes out of this match as WWE World Heavyweight Champion. First off, Christian deserves to be champion, at least one last time, and with the video they recently showed for Christian, it looks like it might be his one last big run.

Christian, with and without Edge, is a tremendous superstar who just hasn’t been able to reach and stay at the pinnacle of the WWE, even though he has all the components needed to be a top superstar.

With Del Rio being such a snore, no matter what swerve the WWE tries to play out, I think it’s absolutely time to get the strap off him and put it on someone interesting and different. I think it’s absolutely Christian’s time to be World Heavyweight Champion, and I can’t wait to see him take out Del Rio.

Kendra’s Predicted Winner – Christian

Ring of Fire Match – Kane vs. Bray Wyatt

I’m rather put out that this isn’t an Inferno Match, but that’s the WWE being all PG for you. All that being said, I really wonder if either Rowan or Harper might end up catching themselves on fire at some point trying to get to Bray to help him out.

Now, I wasn’t impressed with Windham Rotunda when he played Husky Harris. I was live at the 40 Man Royal Rumble Match, and it was obvious that he was a loose cannon and terribly reckless in the ring. I have since seen Bray Wyatt at a live event and he’s a totally different man. He’s not just a different character, but a whole new man inside the character.

He’s stepped into this character with every bit of himself, and it shows in every tiny move he makes when he’s in character in front of the fans. It’s an immersion into his character that I’ve only seen from the likes of Kane, Taker, and a few other true characters.

Because the two men in this match are truly immersed characters, I’m expecting it to be crazy intense, but in the end, Kane won’t be able to hold back and will end up lighting Bray on fire, costing himself the match via DQ.

Winner – Bray Wyatt via DQ
