Official Chairshot Picks: WWE SummerSlam 2018

Published

on

Alright, so now we get to the main course of the weekend, SummerSlam! Will it out perform most of the other main roster Pay-per-Views, or will this become the (superman)punch line of numerous jokes for the next few months?

Before we get to the breakdown, now I can go over our standings, not including last night’s Takeover.

So Extreme Rules best record was: Steve Cook

 

Thanks to Steve’s performance last PPV, he’s closed the gap a little on the man who’s been leading this game since Day 1-ish. It is him, it doth be, D.P.P.

 

 

And as the site grows, so does our game, so for our newer players, let’s see who’s setting the pace: Francesca Scopelliti

 

Well now that we’ve covered the Pick Standings, let’s get to our thoughts for the 7 hour monster that is SummerSlam.

 

Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas & Zelina Vega vs Rusev & Lana

Well the Kickoff Show is treated as an extension of SummerSlam nowadays, so we’ve got a little undercard feud hopefully ending today. Rusev Day has slowly been falling apart since Aiden English consistently tries to help, but makes things worse. Doing his best impression of Caboose from Red vs Blue, Aiden and his ‘help’ will be a big factor in this match

Mathew: Andrade & Vega
Andrew: Rusev & Lana
Tiffany: Rusev & Lana
Deez: Rusev & Lana
Eric: Rusev & Lana
Weigell: Andrade & Zelina
Francesca: Andrade & Zelina

PC: Andrade & Zelina
Big Dave: Rusev & Lana
Greg: Rusev & Lana
Patrick: Andrade & Zelina
Denise: Andrade & Zelina
Harry: Andrade & Zelina
Tony: Rusev & Lana

Official Chairshot Pick: Andrade & Zelina 14-10-1

Cruiserweight Championship Match: Cedric Alexander (c) vs Drew Gulak

With no main show support and still trying to rebuild their damaged image, 205 Live has been relegated to the pre-show all year. With two conflicting styles, this match has potential to be really good. Gulak’s mat based submissions against Cedric’s combination of brawling and high flying leave a lot of room to work. Aside from that, I don’t expect a lot. This won’t suddenly have the fans clamoring for the Cruisers to be back on Raw, but a good match will continue to rebuild the brand.

Mathew: Cedric Alexander
Andrew: Drew Gulak
Tiffany: Cedric Alexander
Deez: Cedric Alexander
Eric: Cedric Alexander
Weigell: Cedric Alexander
Francesca: Drew Gulak
Steve: Cedric Alexander
David: Drew Gulak
McLeod: Drew Gulak
Abe: Cedric Alexander
Big Rick: Cedric Alexander
Korey: Cedric Alexander
Platt: Cedric Alexander
Jimi: Drew Gylak
Kirstin: Drew Gulak
DPP: Cedric Alexander
Cook: Drew Gulak
PC: Cedric Alexander
Big Dave: Cedric Alexander
Greg: Cedric Alexander
Patrick: Cedric Alexander
Denise: Cedric Alexander
Harry: Drew Gulak
Tony: Cedric Alexander

Official Chairshot Pick: Cedric Alexander 17-8

WWE Cedric Alexander

 

Raw Tag Team Title Match: B-Team (c) vs The Revival

The flukey team of jobbers turned undefeated idiot savants, against the only real tag team on the brand.  It’s gonna be hard for me to accept The Revival losing when this should be exactly the type of match, “old school tag team specialist”. should thrive in. But who knows, the WWE likes to milk comedy bits that seem well received, so I can definitely see a few more months of B-Team as champions.

Mathew: The Revival
Andrew: The Revival
Tiffany: The Revival
Deez: The Revival
Eric: B-Team
Weigell: The Revival
Francesca: B-Team
Steve: The Revival
David: B-Team
McLeod: The Revival
Abe: The Revival
Big Rick: The Revival
Korey: B-Team
Platt: B-Team
Jimi: B-Team
Kirstin: The Revival
DPP: The Revival
Cook: B-Team
PC: B-Team
Big Dave: The Revival
Greg: The Revival
Patrick: B-Team
Denise: B-Team
Harry: The Revival
Tony: B-Team

Official Chairshot Pick: The Revival 14-11

Chris King: Is Brock Lesnar Truly Retired?

Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…

Brock Lesnar WWE WrestleMania 42 Retirement

Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…

At WrestleMania 42, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar took off his boots and gloves following his loss to Oba Femi. Lesnar has done it all inside of his twenty-four-year career in professional wrestling. He’s a ten-time WWE Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and he’s one who ended The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania. 

While Lesnar was in the ring, he was visibly overwhelmed with emotion and crying while he thanked the fans in his own way. The Beast even threw up an x to signal to Paul Heyman, his longtime friend and advocate, that this was not scripted and was real. There had been rumors that Lesnar and Oba were supposed to have a series of matches before everything went down at Mania. 

‘The Career Killer’ Gunther was doing Heyman’s bidding as he faced Seth Rollins for a favor. For a while now since Gunther retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, the rumor has been Gunther was set to retire Lesnar in his hometown at this year’s SummerSlam event. There’s been no confirmation if Lesnar is truly retired, but on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, we saw Heyman talking with General Manager Nick Aldis. Later that night following Rhodes’ match against the debuting Ricky Saints, Gunther choked out the WWE Champion. Could this be the favor from Heyman? 

I know in the world of professional wrestling we live by the mantra of “never say never,” but what if Lesnar is actually retired and this was WWE’s way of shutting down those rumors about Gunther and Lesnar? What if Gunther’s next program is chasing after the WWE title, and where is Randy Orton at in all of these plans? There are so many questions that need to be answered, hopefully soon!

Chris King: Defend The Intercontinental Championship At Backlash!

With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!

Penta WWE Intercontinental Championship WrestleMania 42

With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!

This year’s annual Backlash showcase is only a few days away, and while there are many big matches announced, one that definitely should be isn’t on the card. In my opinion, outside of Roman Reigns/Jacob Fatu and Seth Rollins/Bron Breakker, the Intercontinental Championship scene has been stellar over the last month. 

Penta has been an excellent champion, especially after his triumphant title defense in a ladder match against JeVon Evans, Rusev, Dragon Lee, and the Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. Their ladder match at Mania was one of the best that WWE has produced in a while. 

The momentum never stopped, as on the post-Mania episode of Monday Night Raw, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page made his debut and was quickly inserted into the Intercontinental title scene. Page had a fantastic showing against his longtime NXT rival Evans and picked up a big win in his debut match thanks to an assist from Rusev. 

All Ego immediately joined forces with ‘The Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev, who was also vying for the Intercontinental Title in his own right. On this week’s episode of Raw, Page and Rusev defeated Evans and Penta. All Ego pinned the champion, making a huge statement and putting him one step closer to getting a title shot. For the past few weeks I’ve been anxiously waiting to see if WWE was going to add this incredible fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship, but it hasn’t happened yet. 

As much as the WWE Universe enjoys witnessing great matches on free television, I truly believe all four superstars deserve the chance to showcase their talents on the PLE. While Penta has done a terrific job as the intercontinental champion, it’s time for a fresh face to hold the prestigious title. Page would make a great braggadocious heel that would help elevate the Intercontinental Championship to new heights!
