With WWE Summerslam 2017 just mere hours away, I'm here to give you the last-minute predictions on which WWE Superstars are expected to exit The Biggest Party of the Summer with victories to their name.
Here is the full official match card for WWE Summerslam 2017:
#1) The New Day (c) vs The Usos (Tag team match for the WWE Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship) (Kick Off)
#2) The Hardy Boyz & Jason Jordan vs. The Miztourage (Kick Off)
#3) Akira Tozawa (c) vs Neville (Singles match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship) (Kick Off)
Main Card
#4) Big Show vs Big Cass (Singles match with Enzo Amore suspended above the ring in a Shark Cage)
#5) Rusev vs Randy Orton (Singles match)
#6) Baron Corbin vs John Cena (Singles match)
#7) Finn Balor vs Bray Wyatt (Singles match)
#8) Naomi (c) vs Natalya (Singles match for the WWE Smackdown Live Women's Championship)
#9) Alexa Bliss (c) vs Sasha Banks (Singles match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship)
#10) Sheamus and Cesaro (c) vs Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose (Tag team match for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship)
#11) AJ Styles (c) vs Kevin Owens (Singles match for the WWE United States Championship with Shane McMahon as Special Guest Referee)
#12) Jinder Mahal (c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (Singles match for the WWE Championship)
#13) Brock Lesnar (c) vs Roman Reigns vs Samoa Joe vs Braun Strowman (Fatal Four-way match for the WWE Universal Championship)
#1 The New Day (c) vs The Usos (Tag team match for the WWE Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship) (Kick Off)
Despite how good The Usos have been in recent months, it seems unfeasible that they'll be given another run with the WWE Smackdown Live Tag Team Championships so soon after The New Day defeated them for the belts.
The trio of Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods look primed to dominate the Smackdown Live tag team landscape for the foreseeable future.
Prediction: The New Day retains
#2 The Hardy Boyz & Jason Jordan vs. The Miztourage (Six-Man Tag Team match) (Kick Off)
With The Revival missing WWE Summerslam 2017 due to injury, we have The Hardy Boyz hastily inserted into a Six-man Tag Team match. This seems to be a good last-minute arrangement that acts as a filler for Matt and Jeff while furthering Jason Jordan's rivalry with The Miz.
This should be a clean win for the babyfaces in order to give Jordan some momentum going forward.
Prediction: Jason Jordan and The Hardy Boyz win
#3 Akira Tozawa (c) vs Neville (Singles match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship) (Kick Off)
With Akira Tozawa's shock WWE Cruiserweight Championship victory on the go-home episode of Monday Night Raw before WWE Summerslam 2017, there is very little chance that the former "King of the Cruiserweights" will be regaining his crown.
Prediction: Akira Tozawa retains
#4 Big Show vs Big Cass (Singles match with Enzo Amore suspended above the ring in a Shark Cage)
If the WWE wants to make Big Cass into someone to be taken seriously, he has to get out of this inane program featuring The Big Show and Enzo Amore as soon as possible. Following weeks of boring segments, things come to a head at WWE Summerslam 2017.
Big Cass needs this victory and should get it. The interesting thing will be if Enzo does turn heel like recent rumours have indicated.
Prediction: Big Cass wins
#5 Rusev vs Randy Orton (Singles match)
If Rusev if going to get the big push that the WWE Universe has been demanding, then it needs to start at WWE Summerslam 2017.
While the rivalry with Randy Orton might have come from outta nowhere (get it?) it does present The Bulgarian Brute with the perfect platform to launch from.
'Ru Ru' should come out of Brooklyn with the big win.
Prediction: Rusev wins
#6 Baron Corbin vs John Cena (Singles match)
The only way Baron Corbin's momentum is salvaged after his failed attempt to cash-in his Money in the Bank contract on the go-home episode of Smackdown Live will be with a victory against John Cena at WWE Summerslam 2017.
"The Lone Wolf" needs this victory and we think he's going to get it. Hopefully, this leads to a meaner, more focused version of Corbin. This will also continue Cena's SummerSlam streak, as he's lost every SummerSlam match of his since 2011.
Prediction: Baron Corbin wins
#7 Finn Balor vs Bray Wyatt (Singles match)
Finn Balor and Bray Wyatt's recent rivalry has seen an element of the supernatural involved and that only becomes stronger when the Irishman brings out his Demon persona at WWE Summerslam 2017.
With his recent loss to Bray on the go-home episode of Monday Night Raw, it seems logical that the Demon King is given the victory at "The Biggest Party of the Summer".
Prediction: Finn Balor wins
#8 Naomi (c) vs Natalya (Singles match for the WWE Smackdown Live Women's Championship)
Naomi's run as WWE Smackdown Live Women's Champion has been more lacklustre than glowing, but it doesn't look like she's going to drop the belt to Natalya at WWE Summerslam 2017.
The Neidhart heiress hasn't looked great in her program for the title since becoming the Number 1 contender at WWE Battleground 2017 and we don't think she'll be getting her hands on the belt.
Prediction: Naomi retains
#9 Alexa Bliss (c) vs Sasha Banks (Singles match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship)
Sasha Banks is hands-down the best female wrestler on Monday Night Raw at this point.
But the fact that she was entered into this match as a substitute for the injured Bayley coupled with just how good Alexa Bliss has looked as WWE Raw Women's Champions means it's unlikely that "The Boss" will get the win at WWE Summerslam 2017.
Prediction: Alexa Bliss retains
#10 Sheamus and Cesaro (c) vs Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose (Tag team match for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship)
Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins finally got on the same page on the go-home episode of Monday Night Raw after weeks of fighting and getting assaulted by Sheamus and Cesaro. And, this should yield immediate success for the two Shield brothers.
Unless the WWE plans to scrap this angle soon, we think Rollins and Ambrose are walking out of WWE Summerslam 2017 as the new WWE Raw Tag Team Champions.
Prediction: Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose win to become new WWE Raw Tag Team Champions
#11 AJ Styles (c) vs Kevin Owens (Singles match for the WWE United States Championship with Shane McMahon as Special Guest Referee)
AJ Styles and Kevin Owens have spent months feuding over and swapping the WWE United States Championship and the rivalry should come to a definitive conclusion at WWE Summerslam 2017 with Shane McMahon as the Special Guest Referee.
It seems like Styles is going to retain with KO going into an angle with Shane McMahon for a possible Team Kevin Owens vs Team Shane McMahon match at WWE Survivor Series 2017.
Prediction: AJ Styles retains
#12 Jinder Mahal (c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (Singles match for the WWE Championship)
The reign of "The Modern Day Maharaja" will come to end at WWE Summerslam 2017, or at least, we certainly think so.
Jinder Mahal's run as WWE Champion has not lived up to the WWE's expectations in terms of impact on the Indian market and Shinsuke Nakamura is set to become the new champion.
Despite his stop-start career on the main roster so far, the clean win against John Cena to become #1 Contender coupled with a WWE Championship victory will cement "The King of Strong Style" as one of the top guys in the company.
Prediction: Shinsuke Nakamura wins to become new WWE Champion
#13 Brock Lesnar (c) vs Roman Reigns vs Samoa Joe vs Braun Strowman (Fatal Four-way match for the WWE Universal Championship)
This is it. This seems like the acid test of whether of Brock Lesnar will be dropping the WWE Universal Championship anytime before WWE Wrestlemania 34. With the threat that he and Paul Heyman will quit the WWE if they lose, there is no better opportunity to take the belt off "The Beast Incarnate".
There are three equally capable opponents in the form of Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman, and Roman Reigns, but we don't think any one of them can dethrone Lesnar at WWE Summerslam 2017.
Prediction: Brock Lesnar retains
