Ha!<\/p>\n<p>Alas, I\u2019m not that bold, but the bottom line is, I shouldn\u2019t be able to do that and MAYBE have it slip past as relevant for Summerslam. That\u2019s where we\u2019re at though. Summerslam 2022 is loaded with rematches and like most recent WWE PPV events, the builds to the matches have been less than subpar, though once they are in the ring, will deliver.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2020\/07\/HeadshotHeydorn2020_180.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-102397 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2020\/07\/HeadshotHeydorn2020_180.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"210\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Call this a preview, a calm look into the distant future, or a gaze into a wondrous crystal ball; just don\u2019t hold me to anything, ok?<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Bianca Belair vs. Becky Lynch \u2013 WWE Raw Women\u2019s Championship<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This match needed a great go-home promo and got virtually nothing. The story is rooted in that it\u2019s a rematch and Becky wants her belt back. That\u2019s it. Nothing from Belair outside of corporate t-shirt phrases? Nothing?! Look, Lynch is on the redemption tour that will culminate against Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania. To get there, she needs a loss here. Belair takes it.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Logan Paul vs. The Miz<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m interested in this match, but for all the wrong reasons. Paul has a babyface is just hilarious and I\u2019m looking at you Nashville crowd to make it even more hilarious. Paul is not a heel and the attempt to make him one has hijacked the story here. Going to be a train wreck that Paul wins.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>The Usos vs. The Street Profits \u2013 WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championship<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-915375636\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Jeff Jarrett. This match has Jeff Jarrett. Not Ezekiel, Chad Gable, this one. The one match on the card that just needs the guys in the ring. Yeah. We have a potential match of the night contender here, but with a Jarrett angle looming. Who knows what it\u2019ll be, but it\u2019ll help The Usos win.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Liv Morgan vs. Ronda Rousey \u2013 WWE Smackdown Women\u2019s Championship<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Honestly, this is one of the better built matches on the show. There is intrigue here given the fact that both women really need a W. Rousey has very much shown heel tendencies throughout the build and with the showdown with Becky on the horizon, needs to continue to do so. That\u2019s the story here. Rousey turns heel officially and wins the title back. Morgan can rebuild and I don\u2019t think the test with her as champion was a total bust. Just not her time with Rousey only around for a handful of months.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Pat McAfee vs. Happy Corbin<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Should Pat McAfee start running promo class at the WWE Performance Center? The guy has charisma oozing out him and he\u2019s figuring out ways to tap into it to build these little programs. Clear heel and babyface lines here, which will lend itself well to crowd reaction. McAfee wins clean as can be.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Bobby Lashley vs. Theory \u2013 WWE United States Championship<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another rematch. Just reminding ya! Theory is moving on to bigger things. Even with Triple H at the helm of creative, Theory is going to get that major push. He doesn\u2019t need the US title for that. Lashley gets a definitive win here and we\u2019ll see Theory a little later in the show I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>The Mysterios vs. The Judgement Day<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1234748970\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>This program NEEDED the angle on Monday Night Raw. It\u2019s not limping into the PPV, but we need to be done here. The question will be whether or not Dominik turns heel and joins The Judgement Day and whether or not we\u2019ll see Edge. Either way, The Judgement Day reigns supreme here.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>What does Seth Rollins do?<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seth Rollins vs. Riddle was the planned bout. A good one on paper. So, why bail on it. A special debut? Too many matches? We\u2019ll see, but it\u2019s fun to imagine the what if. Triple H is in charge now. Johnny Gargano perhaps?<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar \u2013 WWE Undisputed Universal Championship Last Man Standing Match<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here we go again. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wwe.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WWE<\/a> swears this is the last match between these two. Swears it! I\u2019ll believe it when I see it. Last Man Standing means that this will be a car crash of a match. Not usually my cup of tea, but they need it here seeing as Reigns and Lesnar have never really hit third gear on any of their matches. Roman Reigns is winning. The world knows it, which made building this up as intriguing even more difficult than it would have been. Reigns, Reigns, Reigns, and more Reigns.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/07\/30\/wwe-summerslam-2022\/\">PPV PRIMER \u2013 WWE SUMMERSLAM 2022: Preview and predictions for Lesnar vs. Reigns, Belair vs. Lynch, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-757447028\"><div id=\"pwtor-3226311678\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>If I was bold, I\u2019d copy the WrestleMania 38 column here for WWE Summerslam and see if anyone noticed.
