In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE SummerSlam 2023 by AverageMansReviews

Slim Jim Summer Slam Battle Royal; 25-Man Battle Royal Match: my pick is LA Knight. Even though on Wednesday 02/08/2023 the competitive have not been announced, it would be foolish of the WWE hierarchy not to give Knight this W based on the grounds their fan base is very high on him even though they may not be. I know the WWE hierarchy don't often give their fan base what they want, but in this case it would be harmless and it would keep the potential positive atmosphere going for this event and yes I have heard that after this event they are planning to give him a push anyway, but that has been said for a long time now, so I will leave it when I see it. Finally I know the WWE has a hit and miss history of naming this stipulation after a wrestler, but in this case they really did miss an opportunity here. They could have called this; The Macho Battle Royal, I am sure Slim Jim's wouldn't have minded based on the facts he was a long-term business partner of theirs to the point where you can't think of Slim Jim's without thinking of "Macho Man Randy" Savage.

Ronda Rousey vs. Shayna Baszler; MMA Rules Match: my pick is Shayna Baszler. Simply put here if Rousey wasn't rumoured to be leaving after the event, I would still go for this outcome anyway. Because I honestly believe it is now time for Shayna Baszler to be in the main event pictures, she has done her time and paid her dos.

Drew McIntyre vs. Champ Imperium's Walter [with Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci;] Singles Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship: my pick is Imperium's Walter [with Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci;] Singles Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. This match/match slot is becoming complicated because on the outside of the ring [in a literal sense] as far as I'm aware when first dictating this; McIntyre has not re-signed with this company, so either McIntyre is going to get given the devaluing treatment of squashing/given the label of “Difficult to work with" or from here until this event they are secretly working on a new contract. I like McIntyre, I do like McIntyre but I can't see him dethroning Walter, unless he is signed a new contract by this point and one of the stipulations is he wants the WWE Intercontinental Championship. But regardless of the outcome of this match/match slot it will tell us a lot about all these situations, we will have to just wait and see.I have just had an idea now it has been speculated that there will be a new member to this faction soon, so if there is to be one why not do it on the big stage, if I had to pick somebody it would have to be if they are fit and cleared, this is also speculation because I'm not aware of their status DJ McDonagh or Ilja Dragunov, Either one would be an excellent addition and fit in perfectly. I mean sometime down the line they could even do one of these two eventually turn on and dethrone Walter as the WWE Intercontinental Champion preferably at Wrestlemania 40/2024.

Ricochet vs. Logan Paul; Singles Match: my pick is Logan Paul. I really, really wanted to say Ricochet, because like Baszler Ricochet has more than enough done his time and paid his dos. But I am not stupid, that is not the storyline we are going with here, so it will be Paul all day long.

Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Belair vs. Champ Asuka; Triple Threat Match for the WWE Women's Championship: my pick is Asuka. Simply put I am not ready for any other outcome to this match then the one I have chosen here, Flair hell no! Belair no thanks. Once again we find ourselves in another situation where Asuka has more than paid her dos, so it is about time she got some respect from the hierarchy. But once again I am not stupid, I am very much aware they could move around this championship from Asuka to Flair just to keep Flair happy, Wow it must be fantastic to have the last name Flair and to be given a championship match opportunity time after time without earning it. People regard Flair as the best or one of the best female wrestlers and to their? I say we will never know.

Because as far as I'm concerned she's used her father's [Ric Flair's last name, backstage clout and come on she is just a female version of her father as an on-screen presentation.] Before I receive backlash for this; allow me to point out somebody that is forging her own Hall of Fame career; Becky Lynch; she has earned everything, yes she will now and again be at the top of the mountain, but she will also be elevating women's wrestling around her, as she doesn't always need to be challenging for a championship/championships and the same goes for Bayley so within the WWE these two women have come from very two different gimmicks in NXT to be the two most current influential women that the WWE has.

I just want to go on the record and say I am very happy with my choice here. But I guarantee you Charlotte is going to win, there is no way in hell she is going to leave one of the biggest events in the WWE calendar without winning or losing a championship and considering she's holding one, that only leaves one option here.

The Judgement Day's Finn Bálor vs. Champ Seth Rollins; Singles Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: my pick is Seth Rollins. Why are we having this match again? I am about done with these two going head-to-head and Yes, God yes I know about their history of the inaugural WWE Universal Championship Singles Match in 2016 at this event. Even though I have said I am about done, I know this match will be good, but unfortunately even though I don't watch WWE TV programming I can tell you from years of experience, that this good match is just a back story to The Judgement Day implosion, where unfortunately the other members of The Judgement Day: Damian Priest, the NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio and the WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley to stay behind and not interfere in the match. Obviously they interfere; something goes wrong I am going for Priest to hit Bálor costing him the match. But it gets worse Priest cashes-in his money in the bank contract opportunity to be continued.

The Judgement Day's Damian Priest vs. Champ Seth Rollins: Singles Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: my pick is Seth Rollins. Before I continue I would really like to be wrong about this, but I have a feeling they will pull the trigger is here, just based on the facts it is a big stage they would be doing it on and let's be honest they would love to say to AEW that is what we have brought to the table, beat that if you can with AEW All In Sunday 27/08/2023 and AEW All Out Sunday 03/09 2023. But back to here and now, the best/worst outlay they could use here is briefly Priest is just about to win, but at the last second screwed him over hence why I said the best to achieve what they want to achieve here, but the worst because Priest has came into his own it really looks like a main event player.

Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar; Singles Match: my pick is Cody Rhodes. Firstly let's hope after this match this feud end and secondly we know that anything that Rhodes does between now and at the very least WWE Royal Rumble 2024 to WWE wrestleMania 40/2024 Night 2 speculation on my part the rematch with Roman Reigns for his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, everything else he does between now and then and yes Rhodes will win the Men's Royal Rumble Match 2024 everything else he does is just going to be a massive stopgap.

The Uso's Jey Uso vs. The Bloodline's Champ Roman Reigns [with Paul Heyman & Solo Sikoa;] Tribal Combat for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and recognition of Tribal Chief: my pick is Roman Reigns [with  Paul Heyman & Solo Sikoa.] Likewise this is another match/match slot that is going to be good, but the storyline progression is more important here, now I did speculate this at the last WWE Premium Live Event  In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Money In The Bank 2023 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2023/06/in-depth-predictionsother-elements-for_61.html and obviously I got it wrong, but if it isn't Rikishi [Jey & Jimmy father,] I expect someone to make an appearance related to the family, because once again this is a big stage and to cover my back yes I have been wrong before.

Additional: Friday 04/08/2023 before SmackDown. I  seen online that there may be more matches added to the card, I have already speculated one option, I forgot that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson may show up and it is now being rumoured that one half of the WWE women's tag team champions Raquel Rodriguez vs. The Judgement Day's the WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley. [But to cover my back I should point out this match of what I have briefly read online from bits and pieces, was taken off a in and now possibly being reconsidered.]

So as far as I can tell if the WWE hierarchy really wanted to they could put over their female roster, just don't have the money grabbing pointless rumble or/and have Johnson potentially show up so we could have had Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus [with Zoe Starks] and this match/match slot they are considering confirmed instead of being up in the air. I mean if you want to know more about my opinions about women's wrestling in WWE and AEW currently I will leave this link here The Building of: WWE vs. All Elite Wrestling Volume 49 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2023/08/the-building-of-wwe-vs-all-elite.html

Saturday 05/08/2023: I have waited until the very last day to upload this content, there are no extra female matches, it is a absolute disgrace. If it should happen that we get some surprises throughout this event. I know I have the feeling that they aren’t or shouldn’t the same impact. Because if you believe in women’s wrestling, their match/match slot has been taken off to give us this surprise.
