WWE Summerslam 2015 Preview Breakdown

Summerslam 2015 is rapidly approaching and I thought it would be fun to have a quick breakdown of the matches on this year’s card.  A PPV event that feels like a Teddy Long has come back to manage the show. Holla Holla!!! Playa!!!

1.       Kevin Owen’s Vs Cesaro

Wow, anyone remember when Kevin Owens was wrestling John Cena for the US belt, or when he was on NXT as the NXT Champion? Well not anymore, now he is on the lower end of the card wrestling against Cesaro, now don’t get me wrong I love both these guys and really want both of them to rise to the top of the main card. I just can’t see WWE back office letting either of them get to where both of these guys deserve to be, which is a real shame.  Hopefully will get to see some great spots from Cesaro during this match just to wow everyone with his sheer power!

However if you’re asking me for the winner here, it has to be Owens as with the exception of his 1 win over Cena his debut has been a little lacklustre in my opinion.  But should be booking bill good we will see a Kevin Owens win here after what should be in theory a great match.

2.       Fatal 4 Way Tag Team Title Match

Prime Time Players (c) vs. The New Day vs. Los Matadores vs. The Lucha Dragons

This should be an interesting tag team match; I’m imagining some high flying antics in this match which again should make for some fun wrestling. Also good to see more tag teams getting some PPV time, may lead to an actual fun / interesting tag team division.  I’ve always enjoyed tag team wrestling so will be cool to see if this match leads to more prominent roles on future WWE shows for the tag team division.

However I’m going to say the Prime Time Players will pick up the win here, good to see a tag team I quite enjoyed when they first formed finally getting some decent exposure. 

3.       Triple Threat Intercontinental Championship Match

Ryback (c) vs. The Miz vs. The Big Show

The IC title division has become a little stale, it’s a shame Daniel Bryan got injured and needed to vacate the title really. Not a big fan of Ryback or the Miz in all honestly. The Big Show I do like, but if I was booking him I would try to have him as an inbetweener, just knocking out everyone, very similar to Randy Orton’s style.  I imagine this match will be what it is and little else, probably will not be the star of the show in all honestly.

Ryback will no doubt pick up the win here, the IC division needs some stability, so a long term fighting champion may just help get the division back upto to the status it used to be, back when the IC champ was the one putting on the show stealing matches or even the best laid out matches.  That would be living the dream., we will see if Ryback can pull that off.

4.       Stardust & King Barrett vs. Neville & Stephen Amell

I really, really, really hope Amell brings the Arrow gear to the show and wears it during the match that would be EPIC!! This match is going to be junk I would imagine, I’ll predict Neville tagging in Amell just to get the pin fall here. Hopefully though will get to see more and see if Amell has done some wrestling training leading into the match, surely the Arrow can take on the evil plans of Stardust and King Barrett.

Fingers crossed the good guy team here will pick up the win, this match screams “comic book” and as we know the good guys always win in comics...  “You have failed this city!”

5.       What’s left of “THE SHIELD” vs. What’s left of “THE WYATT FAMILY”

Ok, this match feels very 2014 but missing 2 players from the board. Well I’m thinking the team of Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns will be able to overcome the new face of fear Bray Wyatt and his former protégé Luke Harper this time around. Also with Reigns still poised to rocket to the top of the WWE at some stage soon.  I’m hoping 3 / 4 men in this match will become staples of WWEs main event in the future... I hate Roman Reigns (JOKE).

I’d imagine that Reigns will be the one to pick up the win here, I’m also hoping it will be over Harper too and not Wyatt, he has become a bit of a jobber as of late, feels like he needs to actually win a couple of matches to try and get him back over as a legitimate threat and not just a crazy nut case who talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk.

6.       Winner takes all WWE Champion vs. United States Champion

John Cena (c) vs. Seth Rollins (c)

Anyone ever seen Alien Vs Predator???  Remember the tag line???

“WHOEVER WINS... WE LOSE”

Well this is exactly what this match is, If Rollins wins we get our SHIT WWE champion holding both major singles titles in the WWE, since he has been badly booked with 1 belt, how badly would the booking be with 2 of the fuckers.  Also John Cena’s US open challenge has probably been one of the best booking moves in WWE recent history for the stalwart of the WWE roster, all ended in a flash by bad booking.

Then we have John Cena getting yet another WWE title run, that he doesn’t need, that would make the US title be an afterthought again, with Cena obviously focusing on the main title rather than his US open challenge. Plus do we really need another WWE title run with Cena as the champ? NO! NO! NO!

I’m hoping for a no contest here or a DQ of some kind as I would really hate to see these championships unified unless they plan to get rid of the US belt, but highly doubtful.  But as I said, if anyone wins this match, the real losers are us the fans.

7.       Brock Lesnar with Paul Heyman vs. The Undertaker

Now this match feels a little desperate to me, we don’t really need this match now do we?

How many times over the last year or so has the Undertaker had a chance to get some level of payback against Lesnar and now he decides to come out of hiding to do it, no sorry I don’t buy it. Yeah Lesnar has been bragging about it but has never really said anything disrespectful about Undertaker.  But this is a big deal with Undertaker not just featuring in a Wrestlemania match this year and getting to feature on this PPV. Then of course Lesnar is on show that is a pretty big deal in itself.  However lets face the facts they needed to keep Lesnar away from the WWE title picture somehow didn’t they!?

Ok, well this match will end simply with Lesnar picking up the big win, Undertaker isn’t going to get revenge and the conqueror will conquer again. Sorry.  This match as cool as it is, does feel a little desperate and forced upon us, it will be a good match I would imagine, hopefully better than their first encounter back at Wrestlemania 30.

As always I’ll be hanging with my main man 12VE-Pac over the Summerslam weekend, so please follow us @bigboss010 and @siteofshite on twitter with the hashtag #DSCSlam.  So I’ll see you then.

I’m Big Boss, I’m out..... Peace.
