This Sunday is WWE Summerslam, and there are some good matches on the card. I think Summerslam is going to be a key show for a number of different stories. Let's break down the card...
- Kelly Kelly vs Beth Phoenix. For the Divas title.: This match probably won't be great, but the storyline is pretty decent. I like what Beth and Natalya are doing as heels, and it brings a lot of credibility do the Divas. I think Beth is going to win this one to put over her dominance and ability.
- Daniel Bryan vs Wade Barrett.: The buildup to this match has been decent, but nothing all that special. They have kind of been fighting over the past few weeks but the reasoning isn't really there. They have history with the Nexus and the Money in the Bank Match. Plus, they are two young rising stars on Smackdown. So the match does make sense, but I'm just not sure how hot the crowd will be. Both of these guys are pretty good wrestlers and they should put on an entertaining match. It's funny to think about how both of these guys were in the main event at last year's Summerslam on opposing teams. I think Daniel Bryan will win this one to gain some momentum as the Money in the Bank winner.
- Sheamus vs Mark Henry.: This should be a pretty entertaining match since the Mark Henry story has picked up some steam, and the Sheamus face turn has gone really well. Also, Sheamus is very talented and Mark Henry is a season veteran who knows how to work with what he has. I'm not really sure who will win. If Sheamus wins, it could hurt Mark Henry's momentum, but if Mark Henry wins, it could hurt Sheamus' momentum. I don't think this match will have a clean finish, and this story will likely continue.
- Christian vs Randy Orton. No Holds Barred match for the World title.: This should be yet another great match between Orton and Christian. The no holds barred stipulation already makes this match better and I'm dying to know what Christian was teasing at the end of Smackdown. I feel like Orton is going to get the win in this match, but I'm not completely sure.
- John Cena vs CM Punk. Triple H is the special referee for the WWE title.: This story is still red hot and I'm sure a lot of people are going to watch just for this match. Based on the way the rest of this story has gone and how hot it is, I really don't know what to predict. That is what makes this match so good. There's no telling what could happen. Also, if the in ring work is half as good as their last match, this will be a good match.
Overall, I think this will be a good show. This is Summerslam, so I'm expecting a little something special. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Ezekiel Jackson vs Cody Rhodes ends up being an unadvertised match. Until next time...
- Kelly Kelly vs Beth Phoenix. For the Divas title.: This match probably won't be great, but the storyline is pretty decent. I like what Beth and Natalya are doing as heels, and it brings a lot of credibility do the Divas. I think Beth is going to win this one to put over her dominance and ability.
