Isenberg: Overall, SummerSlam is going to be unpredictable in many cases. WWE has the ability to go so many avenues in building stars, exchanging championships, and setting up for the end of the calender year. I do think Orton walks out as champion. How better of a way to rebuild someone than a fresh turn and standing tall at the conclusion of SummerSlam in Los Angeles? I also predict a blue suit for Vince with a yellow and purple tie. If anyone knows style outside of me, its Vince.
Killam: I just hope that when tonight is over with, I won’t be disappointed. I don’t really care what happens with anything on the card, except for the WWE Championship match. CM Punk could lose – it’s just a match, and they can write their way out of the hole if need be. Cena and Bryan are the high risk, high reward match of the night. That’s where all the variables are in the equation, and that’s where anything can happen. They don’t have to pull out seven swerves and leave me with my jaw hanging open to deliver a good pay-per-view experience. I do think there’s potential in Cena/Bryan to be more than just a good wrestling match, and the only way I can be disappointed is if they don’t use this invaluable opportunity to build the future. So basically, the only thing that can’t happen is what has happened for ten years: shoulder tackle, shoulder tackle, side slam, Five Knuckle Shuffle, Attitude Adjustment, Cena wins.
