Triple Z recruits two great wrestling minds to help him analyze and predict SummerSlam Welcome to the first Wrestling BreakDownZ on zwrestletalk.com. To celebrate the change to a real site I recruited two guys to analyze and predict SummerSlam along with me. Joining me today are Jordi Jack Creed from ZWrestleTalk's WrestleMania BreakDownZ. (He also is a full time writer at zwrestletalk.com now). Plus for the first time on zwrestletalk.com, Fansided's Daily DDT writer Josh.0 will make his Wrestling BreakDownZ debut. Lets begin. Meet the CastTriple Z- Owner of ZWrestleTalkJordi Jack Creed- Writer for ZWrestleTalkJosh.0 - Writer for Fansided's Daily DDTThe Miz VS Apollo CrewsTriple Z: The Miz has been a phenomenal heel as of late. Apollo Crews needs the title to start off the "New Era" for SmackDown. This match is hard to tell. I'm going to go for a bold prediction. Apollo Crews walks out as champion. Winner: Apollo Crews Josh: A lot has been made about Crews botching a few moves since he joined the main roster but these can be attributed to nerves more than anything. Crews is still a solid talent and will give the Miz a good match but WWE needs Miz to play the role of heel for a bit longer, at least until Backlash. I am predicting several titles will change hands during Summer Slam but the IC title isn't one of them. As has happened before, look for Maryse to play a hand in the victory, which I hate but it is what it is. Winner: The Miz Jordi: The Miz is such a good heel right now and he deserves as long of a reign with the title as he can get, he shouldn't lose to Crews who to this point is pretty underdeveloped as a character. Winner: The Miz Sasha Banks VS CharlotteJosh: Banks just won the title on July 25 so it's way too soon for her to drop it, especially against Charlotte. The women's division is already mismanaged to an almost criminal length and dethroning Banks so early would put them deeper into the hole. Dana Brooke is banned from ringside which takes away the ace Charlotte had up her sleeve ever since she rid herself of the octogenarian albatross known as her father. This match has the potential to be a fantastic women's match if the WWE gives them ample time to show off their skills. Sasha Banks retains. Winner: Sasha Banks Triple Z: This should be a super easy win for Sasha Banks. This match will be awesome if WWE decides to give it more then five minutes. I mean SummerSlam is only six hours so they shouldn't have to rush through the Women's division match. Plus these two are going to have to top Bayley/Asuka II from NXT Brooklyn which is already a tough task. Sasha Banks is the easy call. Winner: Sasha Banks Jordi: Dana Brooke is banned from ringside. Sasha to win because losing it back to Charlotte without interference will hurt Sasha and make no sense going forward. Winner: Sasha Banks Rusev VS Roman ReignsJosh: Not every title will change hand at Summer Slam andthis is one of them. Reigns has been forced to eat crow ever since his violation of the wellness policy and while I don't think he will win the U.S. title, he won't be squashed either. Vince still believes in Reigns as the future of the WWE but he still has to pay for his crimes. This means WWE will keep Reigns relevant without giving him too much of a push until Vincefeels enough time has passed. This also means that while he won't suffer to many embarrassing loses, he won't hoist gold any time soon. Reigns will win via DQ but Rusev retains. Triple Z: Well I'm going the total opposite of Josh. WWE doesn't care about that U.S Title. WWE wants someone dominant to beat Rusev. They want Roman Reigns in the title picture even if it's not the top prize. WWE is still building Roman Reigns. This feels like a step in the right direction, and Rusev has been phenomenal. WWE wants Roman Reigns as United States Champion. WWE is going to start booking Reigns as a powerhouse. Winner: Roman Reigns Jordi: Roman to win because WWE can use a mid card title reign to make the fans gain respect for Roman as a competitor without him being forced down their throats. Winner: Roman Reigns The New Day VS Gallows and AndersonJosh: Other than the Universal Championship, I think this ending will surprise some people. Anderson and Gallows get the edge for being great heels and having the tendency to do great heel things. The WWE needs to give New Day a fresh angle instead of just the champions who always retain their belts. A loss won't hurt them at all and if anything will only embolden New Day to make the feud better, especially when Big E returns to action. Personally, I'd like to see some new tag teams join the fray but I'll take what I can get for now. Anderson and Gallows become your new Tag Team Champions. Winners: Gallows and Anderson Triple Z: WWE is going to end The New Day soon. Why? I can't justify it but it is a feeling I have. The team has been a success for so long. Almost similar to The Shield going from heels to top baby faces. I hope this isn't the case but the end of The New Day may be near. Which would result in a win for Gallows and Anderson. Winners: Gallows and Anderson Jordi: Good Brothers Gallows and Anderson to win this to allow The New Day some rest from being the faces of the division and to validate the good brothers as a force within the division. Winners: Gallows and Anderson Cesaro VS SheamusJosh: A Best of 7 series? Why? My official prediction is, who cares? Does it matter? Fine, I have to pick someone or else I don't get paid...let's say Cesaro. Whatever. Serious question, does ANYONE care about this match? No? Ok, let's move on. Winner: Who Cares Triple Z: To steal a quote from Jon Stewart (Who's actually appearing at SummerSlam). "Cats VS Dogs, Batman VS Superman, and WHATEVER THIS IS!" I'm a fan of Cesaro so let's go with Cesaro. Winner: Cesaro Jordi: Sheamus to win although in my eyes whoever wins the first match in the series doesn't matter; it's the last few that really count. Winner: Sheamus Dolph Ziggler VS Dean AmbroseJosh: This always entertaining Face vs Face match has the possibility of stealing the show. We already know that both men give their all every time they are in the ring and I will look for them to try and outdo each other. Ziggler will throw the kitchen sink at Ambrose but as we've seen in the past, Ambrose can weather the storm and survive. What will be most interesting to me will be what happens after the match. Will we see a mutual show of respect or a Ziggler heel turn? Either way, Dean Ambrose retains. Winner: Dean Ambrose Triple Z: Let me play the role of the heel for a moment. Dean Ambrose VS Dolph Ziggler feels like a mid-card match. It doesn't feel like a match for the top prize. Dean Ambrose is a main event star but is he floundering? Like even Stone Cold thinks Ambrose could do better. Ziggler is actually having his best run in awhile. This will be a good match but it isn't the caliber of match I would want to headline… Dean is also in some trouble backstage and WWE is very screwy with how it treats it's talent. I have a feeling Ziggler is going to upset Ambrose. Which will cause some rift backstage at SmackDown Live. Winner: Dolph Ziggler Jordi: Ambrose winning for me makes more sense, his reign hasn't been long enough and if he loses I'm afraid he'll never come back from it. Winner: Dean Ambrose JeriKO VS Enzo Amore and Big CassJosh: I make this choice strictly on the basis of how well things have been going for Enzo and Cass. They continue to find success in the ring and their mic work is top notch. Of course this means everything will soon come crashing down and what better time than at SummerSlam? This match counts as my sleeper as most people will expect Enzo and Cass to win against the relatively new tag team of Jericho and Owens but a victory by the heel duo will take this feud to another level since WWE seems to think that's what we want to see. (Spoiler Alert: We don't but they will give it to us anyways). Jericho/Owens use heel tactics to beat the crowd favorites. Winner: JeriKo Triple Z: I love Enzo and Cass but there is no way they will beat this team. JeriKO is a magnificent group and the only way this feud can last is if Owens and Jericho pick up the win. Winners: JeriKO Jordi: JeriKO to win just to add to their ego's whilst adding fire to Enzo and Cass' bellies. Winner: JeriKO AJ Styles VS John CenaJosh: Please let this feud end. They fought. Then they fought again. Cena is a workhorse but a victory does nothing for him. This entire storyline was about getting Styles over because McMahon is still convinced no one knew about him until his WWE debut. The consummate professional that he is, Cena should offer himself as a sacrifice upon the altar of Styles and help establish him as a legitimate main roster guy. That is until Styles asks to be pushed out of mid-card purgatory at which point he will receive the patented Triple H shovel. Enjoy it, AJ; this might be as high as you go. Styles wins clean over Cena. Winner: AJ Styles Triple Z: Styles is going to send Cena on a two month break. Winner: AJ Styles Jordi: AJ needs to win this to seperate himself from everyone else who has suffered to a series with Cena, if he wins he solidifies himself as SmackDown's guy and Cena has nothing to gain from winning . Winner: AJ Styles Randy Orton VS Brock LesnarJosh: Lesnar will not lose at SummerSlam. Spoiler alert. Why would he? The match itself is preposterous. WWE has packaged and sold Lesnar to be unbeatable so losing to the very human-like man known as Randy Orton is out of the question. The only way I can see it happening is if Goldberg interferes in the match and thus costs Lesnar the victory. We already know that Goldberg will be in town for SummerSlam so a run-in isn't out of the question but Orton beating Lesnar clean certainly is. Don't' get me wrong, I would love to see such an ending which would be used as the catalyst for a Lesnar/Goldberg match at WrestleMania 33 but that would be Orton's only chance. Lesnar wins after giving Orton about 10,000 suplexes. Winner: Brock Lesnar Triple Z: I enjoy Josh's theory of Goldberg interfering. If you think Brock Lesnar will lose at SummerSlam. You are a part of the delusional WWE marks. Lesnar won't be punished for his actions. That got blown out of proportions before there was even any significant evidence. Lesnar will destroy Orton at SummerSlam. WWE can't waste the build of Lesnar on someone like Orton. I mean come on seriously… Winner: Brock Lesnar Jordi: WWE will want RAW’s talent to come out on top. Brock Lesnar will defeat Randy Orton at SummerSlam. Winner: Brock Lesnar Finn Balor VS Seth Rollins Josh: I'm on the record as saying the Universal Championship is stupid (http://dailyddt.com/2016/07/27/wwe-universal-championship-terrible-idea/). Since it's happening no matter what, I think the WWE really can't go wrong with either man as champion. I'm honestly split about who I think will win vs. who I think should win. I have this sinking feeling they play it safe and give it to Rollins but I want to see Balor become the first Universal Champion. There are some in the IWC who will cry foul and angrily type "TOO SOON!" and these people will be wrong. Balor propped up NXT for quite some time and is more than capable of introducing the WWE Universe to another new championship. Seriously IWC, quite being a bunch of babies and just enjoy someone else having the spotlight for a change. Finn Balor wins to become the first Universal Champion. Winner: Finn Balor Jordi: Pretty straight forward, if WWE wants a true new era, Finn is to win to kick-start it. Winner: Finn Balor Triple Z: This match is going to be epic. This is a wrestling match between my two favorites in the modern era. Seth Rollins and Finn Balor is a dream match for me. I can't believe WWE had the guts to book it. It shows WWE is willing to create a new era. I would be fine with either guy walking out as champion. Balor since jumping to the main roster his every move has been under the microscope. Everything he does is being compared to Roman Reigns which honestly is quite ridiculous. Finn Balor is 35 years old despite his youthful look and there should be no time wasted. Finn Balor was over in NXT. Also NXT as a brand has been over. WWE needs to capitalize on NXT's reach and power to different audiences. How fitting is that the first ever NXT champion will be facing the longest reigning NXT champion for the newest top prize in WWE. The Universal Championship isn't as bad as the WWE World Championship. Saying WWE World Championship it just sounds weird makes you miss the "Heavyweight" part. Balor VS Rollins should be main eventing SummerSlam but I have a feeling Lesnar VS Orton will steal that slot. Finn Balor will walk out as the WWE Universal Champion. Then the IWC and insecure WWE marks will complain. Winner: Finn Balor Thanks for reading WWE SummerSlam BreakDownZ. Comment and take the poll below! Follow @TripleZ_87

Triple Z gives his predictions and analysis for WWE's Battleground Becky Lynch VS NatalyaThis is very simple. Becky Lynch is over with the fans. Natalya has been irrelevant for awhile. Becky Lynch isn't getting the proper push. That should change since she is the female face of SmackDown now. Becky has to win this match. Winner: Becky Lynch Rusev VS Zack Ryder2016 has been a very odd year for Zack Ryder. Starting off the year as a jobber and then he gets inserted into a WrestleMania Intercontinental Title Ladder Match. Wins the match only to lose the title on RAW to The Miz. Now he's back in the title picture against Rusev. Sadly I don't see a upset coming here. Winner: Rusev The Miz VS Darren YoungDarren Young has improved since getting Bob Backlund as his manager. I wouldn't mind seeing Darren Young holding the Intercontinental championship this Sunday. I think that's whats going to happen. Darren Young is early in his push and WWE has dedicated so much production time to the "Make Darren Young Great Again" it would be idiotic to see him lose. I'm ready to see more of Darren Young and Bob Backlund. I'm also ready to see The Miz become a main eventer once again on SmackDown. Winner: Darren Young Sasha Banks and Mystery Partner VS Charlotte and Dana BrookeDoes it matter who Sasha Banks picks? Sasha Banks is going to win anyways. Charlotte's title isn't on the line and it's a tag team match. Sasha Banks currently has two options for her partner. 1. Bayley 2. Paige I would be thrilled to see Bayley debut. Sadly I don't think that's in the works. Paige returning along side Sasha Banks would boost her back up the ranks. Paige has fallen since becoming a cast member on Total Divas. This could be her way of going back up in the division. Either way this will be a win for Sasha Banks. Winners: Sasha Banks and Mystery Partner The New Day VS The Wyatt FamilyThe hottest Tag Team in professional wrestling take on the once scariest faction in the WWE. This feud has gotten Bray Wyatt back on track. I really hope WWE doesn't do anything stupid with Xavier Woods. Please don't ruin The New Day. The result to this match should be The Wyatt Family winning. Reason why? It's a six man tag match... It doesn't mean anything if The New Day lose. So why not have them lose to help The Wyatt Family out? This match should be pretty exciting though. Give The Wyatt Family Winners: The Wyatt Family Sami Zayn VS Kevin OwensWhen is it time for a great feud to come to a end? Never is the usual answer. When it comes to these two, and all the history behind it. You could watch these two wrestle forever. Sadly I think this epic feud is coming to an end. It's won't be a dead feud and it will always be there. I think Kevin Owens is on the rise to the top of the card so it would make sense for him to win. Sami Zayn on the other hand hasn't had a super impressive victory yet. Defeating Owens for a second time would give him that victory. I think Sami Zayn will give Kevin Owens a great fight resulting in Kevin Owens slipping by once again. Winner: Kevin Owens John Cena, Enzo Amore, and Big Cass VS The ClubI love everyone in this match up with that being said The Club needs to win this match. Winners: The Club Roman Reigns VS Dean Ambrose VS Seth RollinsFirst off Roman Reigns shouldn't even be in this match. Go cry about it Reigns fans. If your missing the whole build and if your name is not Brock Lesnar you shouldn't be included in the match. Seth Rollins VS Dean Ambrose would of been fine. Adding Roman Reigns makes this interesting but it wasn't the proper build up to this huge match. I mean were talking about the "Destruction of The Shield" match. This is a WrestleMania caliber match and it's happening on Battleground I mean freaking Battleground. We all know Roman Reigns isn't going to win that title when he gets back. So that leaves us with two options. Ambrose will stay the champion because SmackDown needs the champion. Rollins winning would make me happy but I don't see that happening. Roman really shouldn't be in this match. It makes no sense honestly.
Winner: Dean Ambrose Follow @TripleZ_87 @ZWrestleTalk |
