Smartie Cup
Predictions
WWE
Summerslam 2015
Featuring
Mike the Ref, Andre C, Brian Hamilton and Ryan Passmore
1) Randy Orton vs. SheamusMike – Sheamus. No cash in tonight, so heel needs to look strongAndre – Not like it really matters because this is match what 1,000,054 for these two in the WWE. I say Orton wins but this match really doesn't matter.Brian – SheamusRyan – Orton Clean 2) Tag Team Title MatchPrime Time Players (c) vs. New Day vs. Los Matadores vs. Lucha DragonsMike – New Day. Should never have lost the belts, and now that Xavier is proving to be a great talker, they’ll give him the belts just so he can brag about it incessantly.Andre – Here is the pre show match of the night. I'm not to sure with this one but I'll go with The Prime Time Players retaining the beltsBrian – Prime Time Players.Ryan – Prime Time Players. New Day still shines in this match3) Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev NO CONTEST (Double Countout)Mike – Rusev. Whole lot of leggy shenanigans. This feud is far from over.Andre – Ziggler. This is just a matter of opinion cause I think Rusev is stale and I'm a Ziggler supporter.Brian – ZigglerRyan – Ziggler. Coming back off an injury he needs the push.4) Stephen Amell & Neville vs. Stardust & Wade BarrettMike – Team Arrow. Stephen Amell is going to look a lot better than people expect.Andre – I can only go one way on this one. Have to go with "Team Arrow" Amell and Neville.Brian – Team ArrowRyan – Team Arrow. Fun match, and a good example of celebrity participation 5) Intercontinental Title MatchRyback (c) vs. Big Show vs. MizMike – Miz. Big guys cancel each other out, and the little weasel sneaks in for the title.Andre – Ryback retains the title. He hasn't had the chance to run with the title yet due to Staph infection so I think he keeps the belt for a little bit.Brian – RYBACK (Autopick)Ryan – Miz in a boring match. Maybe kevin sullivan and john tenta will show up and restart the dungeon of doom.
6) Bray Wyatt & Luke Harper vs. Roman Reigns & Dean AmbroseMike – Bray and Luke, with the help of newly arrived Leo KrugerAndre – Bray & Harper win to continue on the fued.Brian – Ambrose and ReignsRyan – Wyatts. Maybe with some of Bray’s black magic, they start to become strong again.7) US Title vs. WWE World Heavyweight TitleChoose Split or one man to have bothJohn Cena vs. Seth RollinsMike – Rollins. Owens comes down and interferes on behalf of Rollins. Next night Rollins offers up belt to Owens as a reward, but Cesaro demands match for it, after beating him tonight, and wins itAndre – Both men leave with their respective titles. Cena is doing a great job rebuilding the US Title and Rollins is doing pretty good as the guy with the main title.Brian – Cena. May be a split, but I believe Cena will do it.Ryan – Split. Doesn't make sense for belts to switch hands 8) Women’s Elimination MatchTeam PCB vs. Team Bad vs. Team BellaMike – Team PCB. Face team going against two heel teams. Surprise will be when Bellas get knocked out early.Andre – Team PCB. I think you'll see Charlotte getting a big spot in this match.Brian – Team PCB. Charlotte makes Nikki tap out for the finishRyan – Team PCB. Charlotte is a big factor in this one. 9) Kevin Owens vs. CesaroMike – Cesaro in a tight one. May be match of the night.Andre – Because he needs a win again after jobbing to John Cena at the last 2 PPVs, I'll go with Kevin Owens.Brian – CesaroRyan – Cesaro. Owens starts to fizzle. Hope I am wrong. 10) Undertaker
vs. Brock Lesnar
Mike – Lesnar.
Sets up a “If I can’t beat you at 32, I’ll retire” storyline
Andre –
Undertaker. Sets up the rubber match at Mania 32
Brian – Undertaker
finally beats Brock
Ryan – Taker
by DQ. taker works heel. Sting shows up. Sets up sting vs taker at
mania. Taker wins by dq, brock looks strong.
