WWE Summerslam 2011: Predictions

It's almost time for the Hottest Night in the Year, WWE SUMMERSLAM! With only five announced matches.

Daniel Bryan vs Wade Barrett

Oh how the mighty have fallen, the one time leader of Nexus and arch rival of John Cena, Wade Barrett isn't setting the world a light over on Smackdown. After 'The Corre' it doesn't seem like Barrett has a lot of direction at the moment and going up against the current Money in the Bank can only make me put this one down as a win for the Vegan "Nerd":

Prediction: Daniel Bryan

Sheamus vs Mark Henry

As with Wade Barrett, I miss seeing Sheamus on Monday Nights, it's good to see after the terrible King Sheamus storyline it looks as though he is finally being used in the right way, although seeing Sheamus as a face is a bit strange to me. If the WWE do this the right way they can really put over Sheamus by beating the wrecking machine that is Mark Henry. Do I think that will happen? I'm not so sure. There are plenty of ways this match can go, there could be a potential interference from Kane or Show but I'm going to hope WWE ceases this opportunity to put the Celtic Warrior back up to Main Event/Upper Mid Card Status.

Prediction: Sheamus

Kelly Kelly vs Beth Phoenix

I personally don't see this match lasting too long, it's not realistic to have Kelly look even slightly threatening here, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Kelly will take some punishment and Beth will get cocky until Kelly almost pulls a fast one, however Beth will demolish Kelly for the win. If WWE wanted to really shake up the Diva Division I think they could have Natalya come down to "congratulate" Beth before turning on her and making an open challenge for the Divas title.

Prediction: Beth Phoenix

Christian vs Randy Orton (No Holds Barred)

This has been a decent feud but I think it's coming to an end sooner rather than later, with this match being No Holds Barred you have to give the Viper the advantage, I think we will see the Viper strike and once again the belt will change hands.

Prediction: Randy Orton

John Cena vs CM Punk (Special Referee: Triple H)

For this one I can honestly say, I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA, and that's what I love about this feud. It is such an interesting concept to not insult the fans, fact is most adult males dislike Cena because he is disgustingly good, the modern day man doesn't necessarily root for the hero, and Punk is the modern day man. I think there HAS to be some involvement from the COO in this match, but the question is, does Triple H screw Cena? Or does Triple H screw Punk? I'm not sure what kind of reaction each of them will get.

If Triple H screws Cena then suddenly that makes Punk a bad guy again, but if HHH screws Punk then that makes Cena a bad guy. I can honestly say I am really looking forward to this match!

Prediction: ???
