WWE SummerSlam 2011 Predictions

WWE SummerSlam 2011 Predictions

Undisputed WWE Championship - John Cena vs. CM Punk
Special Guest Referee: Triple H  

I’m hoping this doesn’t end up with a finish where Triple H ends up screwing either Cena or Punk. But considering how these guest ref deals usually works out, my guess is that is what will happen. But who gets screwed over? And who walks out of SummerSlam as the Undisputed WWE Champion? I’ve gotta stick to my choice in CM Punk.

Prediction: CM Punk

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match / No Holds Barred - Christian (c) vs. Randy Orton

After all the build up and everything that has been happening over the past few weeks, I really don’t see Christian losing the title back to Orton. I’m picking Christian via some sort of underhanded tactics for the win.

Prediction: Christian

Sheamus vs. Mark Henry

This is a tough choice to make here, because I think both of these guys are moving up the ladder so to speak. As much as I am a fan of Sheamus, I am liking this new agressive streak in Mark Henry. It reminds me of how he was some years back, before he turned and became happy, go lucky again. My choice? The World’s Strongest Man, Mark Henry.

Prediction: Mark Henry

Daniel Bryan vs. Wade Barrett

I kind of wish this match had a bit more of a build up, considering these guys have a touch of history with each other (Nexus) and Bryan’s “departure” from the Nexus wasn’t exactly described as a leaving on good terms. Factor in also that Bryan sided against the Nexus at SummerSlam last year to help Team WWE win the night. 

So really, why the rush job?

Despite that and while I am a fan of Daniel Bryan, I think Barrett will walk away the winner. He needs something to do over on Smackdown and maybe a feud with Bryan could help he get going? So yes I am going with Barrett for the win, though likely not a clean win.

Prediction: Wade Barrett

WWE Divas Championship - Kelly Kelly (c) vs. Beth Phoenix

I am still believing Beth Phoenix will leave SummerSlam as the WWE Divas Champion. I am suspecting Natalya will have a role in the victory, considering her turn over on Smackdown.

Prediction: Beth Phoenix
