SummerSlam 2025 Predictions & Analysis
Episode Transcript
Hello, everybody, welcome back.
Speaker 2Jeff got screwed by air traveler, just like a lot of us do every single time we fly, so.
Speaker 1He's not with us today.
You're stuck with Uncle Freddy.
I'm here.
We're gonna get into SummerSlam.
A lot of tag.
Speaker 2Matches this week in wrestling, so we're not really gonna get into that, but we will focus on our predictions.
Thursday show will be hopefully unique, Hopefully you'll dig it.
We'll talk about that later and rest in peace, du Hulk Hogan.
Let's start the show and now your main event.
Introducing the hosts oh Sling, Win, Freddy, chepde Hana, Fardy, friendcejunor.
Speaker 1All right, everybody.
SummerSlam is here.
Speaker 2Used to be my second favorite pay per view, mainly because it was in Los Angeles and I could just go and just drive and wouldn't even take that long to get there.
Speaker 1Now it's wherever they want it to be.
Speaker 2Whoever's going to pay them the most money, these corporate dogs.
But yeah, so it's out of LA this year, it'll still be great.
It's two nights.
Can they pull off two nights?
Probably, I'm gonna say probably more than likely.
And what else, what else?
Aw what?
Speaker 1Now?
We're just gonna focus on WW this week.
Speaker 2Here we go.
Oh, today's episode is called not Much Happened in the World of Wrestling.
Let's get into Night one from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Saturday, August second, a great day for wrestling.
And here's what's on deck.
We've got the judgment day Raquel Rodriguez and Rox Sane Perez.
I always want to say Rock Santa in Hawaii, I don't even know, rocks on against Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair for the Women's Tag Tam Championship.
All right, the last time, and my allergies are killing me today.
The last time these these groups of women wrestled these teams.
Both me and producer Alex picked Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss because why else would you put these two people together, right, unless they were gonna win championship gold.
Speaker 1Somehow we were wrong.
Speaker 2This week we're in a similar position, a similar position.
So I don't know if you want to I'm not gonna give you one hundred percent on this one.
Speaker 1You might want to avoid this bet.
Speaker 2If you're with your friends, you know you can just throw some money around with the homies.
Speaker 1That's cool.
Speaker 2But let me tell you our producers picking Alexa and Charlotte.
Here's here's what I'm worried about.
They don't need the titles to have a story.
The story could be that they lost and Bliss is starting to like turn right and then she's going to try to like destroy Flair in some kind of weird Wyat six connection, but not that believable.
Speaker 1I'm not that good a booking by your boy, uncle Freddie.
Speaker 2If they do win, then you can go down that road in a similar fashion that like John Cena and Batista did back in like nine or twenty ten whenever they didn't like each other and ended up winning the tag titles off.
I think it was Debi, Austen Junior and Cody.
So yeah, so that's the more likely.
So I'm gonna do it again, but I'm not super confident in it.
I'm going Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair to become the women's tag team champions, and then their story will develop from there, because neither one can be in the title picture right now.
It wouldn't make sense.
There's too much going on.
Jeff's not here, otherwise, I'm sure he'd be contrarian just to be contrarian, and he would go with R and R, arrest and relaxation, Raquel and Roxanne and yeah, moving on, all right, I have to be honest with them.
I'll never want to like BS an episode of this show.
I've been fast forwarding these segments.
I'm talking about Randy Orton jelly Roll versus Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.
This is not the type of match that I enjoy.
It's not the type of match that I think needs to be booked.
So I know nothing about it.
I have not been I watched maybe ninety seconds of the first promo and maybe thirty seconds of that last one, and I.
Speaker 1Just, yeah, it wasn't.
It wasn't for me.
Speaker 2And I don't like talking about stuff that I don't connect with, and I don't shit on things on this show, save that for Jeff.
Speaker 1But yeah, so I don't know.
Man.
Speaker 2I assume jelly Roll is gonna win.
He's a I think, a country Western singer.
I only listened to crap from the eighties old music and weird Japanese fusion jazz.
Speaker 1I just got into that.
Speaker 2I like went on a dark deep dive on Spotify and found like this Asian fusion eighties jazz.
I don't know any of the words because it's in Japanese, but every once in a while they'll say something like just something cool in English and then I'm like, hey, okay, I can get into this anyway.
I'm going with Randy Orton and Jelly Roll because Randy Orton don't lose, even though he loses, but he's not losing this match, and Jelly Roll's got some sweet teeth, So I'm going with Sweet Teeth and Randy Orton.
Speaker 1Here we go.
We got Roman Reiins another tag match.
Speaker 2A lot of tag matches this week, just putting that out there.
A lot of tag matches in the week of wrestling, a lot of tag matches on the pay per view.
Speaker 1It's what happens when you.
Speaker 2Have two nights, gotta have a lot of tag matches.
So we got Roman Reins and Jay Uso versus Braun Breaker and Bronson Reid with Paul Hayman but without their leader, Seth Freakin Rawlins, whose wardrobe choices in the last six to eight months have just been stellar.
Speaker 1Stellar.
Speaker 2Challenge you to find a better dressed man well, Bobby Lashley, he always looks clean, but not as creative as seth Rawlins, I would say.
But anyway, this is a tough one too.
I don't feel super I'm not confident in like the tag matches.
Speaker 1I don't know why.
Speaker 2Man, It's because they don't tell as much story with him.
And that's how I kind of make my picks is based on who's getting over in the promo and at what point in the story they're getting over, and then I kind of make my picks based on that.
I don't do it based off, you know, their wardrobe choices.
But uh, here's the tricky thing.
If Bronson and Breaker lose, then it weakens what they've been building up.
And they've been having these guys kill everybody, all right, literally just kill kill kill you kill, you kill everybody except cm Punk.
Speaker 1They tried to kill him.
They couldn't.
You can't.
You can't kill seem Punk.
Speaker 2So I want to say it weakens them so they can't lose.
Speaker 1But then.
Speaker 2Roman reigns and Jake.
I guess if the pin was on Jay and you protect Roman and there's some like Paul Hayman drama, then that's how you protect it.
But I still if Roman is going back to do a movie, then he's gonna take the L or Jail take the L.
Speaker 1And if he's back, then he's gonna win.
Speaker 2So I'm gonna say he still has a little more work to do, and I'm gonna go with bron Breaker and Bronson Raw.
Speaker 1That's tough.
That's a tough call.
Speaker 2I don't know, man, I'm going bron Breaker and Bronson Reid.
Speaker 1I think they have to win.
Speaker 2Paul can help them out somehow, and Jay can take the pin, which protects which protects Roman.
Our producer Alex, who is pretty right.
I mean, he's right, maybe even more than me, if not damn near close.
He's going the other way.
He's predicting Roman and Jay, and Jeff is predicting the hardy boys.
Speaker 1He wasn't paying attention this second.
Speaker 2Sammy's a versus Carrying Cross another weird match because I see stuff online just like you guys, about Carrying Cross's contract status, and I don't know what his status is.
I've just heard what you guys have heard, which is his contract's about to run out.
If it is about to run out, then it's an easy L.
Right, all of us can call that because you take the l on your way out.
They're not going to give him a win, put him over, and then release him with a win over Sammy's ain so he can go wrestle somewhere else.
Speaker 1That would be weird.
Speaker 2If he's resigned and we don't know it, then it's an easy dub, right, it's time to give Cross the push.
If he's resigned, he's getting the push, and every I think I don't think that's a hot take.
I think everybody can kind of read between those lines.
If he resigns, So we have to find out before SummerSlam if he got the sweet contract or if they made a horrible mistake and aren't going to resign him because Cross money and the crowd wants it.
Man, they want they want Across push.
He could talk, he can wrestle, He looks great, he's got the body for it.
His girl's super hot, his Valet scarlet Bordeaux.
She comes out, she gets it.
She totally like plays into the hole, like yeah, let's worship this man.
Like she just she's cool and he's badass.
They gotta they gotta resign him.
So I'm gonna say that they are going to resign him, and because of that, he's finally gonna get the win.
He's taken so many damn ls man and the crowd's still screaming we want Cross, we want Cross like they love him so much.
So I think it's finally time and maybe Sammy takes that's tough man again.
This is These are tough ones, this this pay per view or this premium live event.
It's very, very difficult.
But I'm gonna say that they're gonna resign him.
They can't be that short sighted.
And uh, and Cross is gonna get the win.
Our producer goes against me again.
Somebody's gonna take a big lead and he's going Sammy's ay, which I get.
I get it, and especially if he hasn't, if Cross hasn't resigned.
Speaker 1Then yet that's that's the easiest pick of the of the week.
So we shall see.
Speaker 2We shall see next step Gunter the champ, the man versus CM Punk, the crafty veteran, the former young upstart but not young and not upstartish anymore.
Now he's a veteran looking for one more shot at glory, one more shot for gold.
Can it happen against the Monster that's he's not a monster.
I guess you saved that for for uh what's his face, broun Strowman.
But uh, he's badass and he's not losing.
Ain't no ain't no way he's losing.
He's an awesome champ.
I don't think the World Heavyweight Championship is the title that CM punk wants.
Speaker 1I think he wants that ww.
Speaker 2Championship one more time, and there's no story for that yet.
He's going to be around or his plan I think is to be around a couple more years, so that can happen next year when John Cena's story is over, he can pursue that that and that'll be a good story to tell.
But this story, the victor is going to be Gunter.
He's gonna win, not Goon Gunter.
I think that's how you say it, and that's who producer Alex is picking.
That's who I'm picking, and that's who Jeff would pick two.
But I do think that cmpunk I always say he's going to lose, and he always wins, so you probably want to go against me.
But I really think his story is with the w W Championship, not the World Heavyweight Championship, and so that's why.
Speaker 1That's why why I'm go in this direction.
Speaker 2So it's not just because I think, you know, the guys on the way out should be doing the jobs.
It's not just because of that.
It's it's story wise.
I think it works for him.
I'm done making those those logical picks.
I'm thinking illogically from here on out.
Finally, Night one, Tiffany Stratton versus Jade Carkill for the WWE Women's Championship.
Tiffany Stratton with a sneaky good title run so far, with some really good wins, some really good matches.
They're throwing her out there that I mean, they put a rocket ship on her.
You know, the crowd loves her.
They all scream it's Tiffy Time.
They love Tiffy Time.
You guys love Tiffy Time.
You know you do, don't even act like you don't.
And then there's Jade Cargill, who has been brought along slowly and carefully.
She does not have the experience in the ring that a lot of these girls have.
When she was with AW It's not like they were doing house shows all over the country.
She wasn't getting the ring time she just now is they protected her in the Bianca Bellair tag team Bionca got hurt.
She wins Queen of the Ring, which we predicted successfully on the show, and now she's got a shot.
But is it time or is there going to be some kind of effeery that screws her over?
Because my gut says Mike, Well, my gut says Jade, my brain says Tiffany.
That makes sense, and in this instance, I'm gonna trust my gut and it's gonna be Jade coming out victorious.
I don't know how, I don't know what.
I can't figure out to finish.
Our producer, Alex is pretty good of finishes, but he didn't give us one on this match.
But uh yeah, I think Jade wins it just it kind of makes sense, and then they can see what they have there.
She gets better on the mic, She's had some backstage stuff that's really really good, and she improves the more opportunities she gets.
So I think if they were willing to strap it to Tiffany without any experience, I think they'll be willing to strap it to Jade as well.
And I think Jade gets a victory.
Our producer agrees with me.
What do you guys think?
What do you guys think?
I'll tell you what I think.
The match of the night of Night one, sammy' zay versus Carrying Cross easiest of the easiest pick there is.
Let's move on tonight too, Sunday, August third, Sunday when pay per views used to be Sunday Sunday Sunday and.
Speaker 1You go to Monster truck shows.
Speaker 2All right, First up, we've got Becky Lynch versus Lyra Valkyria.
This story has been going on a little while now, sort of a back and forth, I guess.
But Becky's been, you know, sneakier as of late.
And WW seems to really like Lyra.
She's a good wrestler, man, I just I'm not in love with the walkout, the entrance gear, with the wings.
I'm not a big fan of the wings.
My kids aren't either.
And you know, she's like a lot of these wrestlers.
The more experience you get on the microphone, the more opportunities you get, the better you get.
Speaker 1And I think she'll improve too.
Speaker 2But they definitely believe in her, and I think she's gonna win it back.
I don't think there might be some shifty stuff going on because Becky cheated the last time to win.
She like did the trunks thing, the old school trunks, So maybe Lyra does that back to her and gets one back and they have this kind of back and forth competitive sort of sort of relationship.
But yeah, I think she's gonna win.
Alex thinks she's gonna win.
Not super excited about the match because I don't.
I didn't love the story going into it.
But but yeah, there you go, there's the pick.
I don't feel great about that one.
If you can't tell, it's a really hard card to make picks on Solo Socoa the champ, the United States Champ.
He's in a steel cage match with his family.
Well it was one of his brothers, his cousins, his fan whatever, he is, his buddy Jacob fot too, the Samoan Werewolf whoeverybody loves.
They love his promos, they love his backstage stuff.
They love that he can do a moon salt when he's three hundred and fifty pounds, which she's insane.
They love the way he moves and shakes in the ring.
They love everything about him.
The Miz doesn't mis doesn't love everything about him.
The Mis slapped the shit out of him and made him laugh.
This is a tough one to call, too.
Not Jacob Fatu is winning this match.
Solo got the last one during a steel cage, so the bloodline cannot interfere.
And Uh, Jacob Fatu will win.
He will regain what's his.
That's what our producer says.
He agrees with me.
Speaker 1We're on the same page and uh, and you guys should be on the same page too.
It's time for a Jacoba to win.
Speaker 2Besides, he took the fall kind of the fall to Mis in that match and got beat up when the rest of the group came in.
So I think because of that, he's gonna come up on the backside and win.
Next up, Dominic Mysterio versus AJ Styles.
This might be the hardest match to call.
I'm not joking.
The hardest match to call of the night.
Dominic Mysterio versus AJ Styles for the Intercontinental Championship Standard match styles.
As the veteran, everybody boozed dom Well, he gets a little love now, could this be the match where his luck runs out?
He's been ducking him, He's been a coward he's got a doctor's note, doctor's note.
You can't touch me, doctor's note.
But now he's healed up, doctor's notes expired.
It's time to get in there and wrestle.
And everybody hates Dom except me.
Now you guys are starting to come around because you see he was the victim and all this he was played by two venomous women.
Speaker 1Back them forth, back and forth.
Guy's just no love for Dom anyway.
Speaker 2A lot of people think aj Styles is going to lose this match, that there's too much there's too much good heat on Dom and it's good to have people chasing him when he has a title, and I happen to be one of those people.
AJ Styles is gonna give a great match, an awesome match, but he's gonna put Dominic Mysterio over.
Speaker 1Our producer Alex agrees.
Speaker 2He thinks some dirty deeds are gonna go down and that's how Dom's gonna win.
I would agree with that.
I don't think Dominic should get a clean victory.
Something's got to go down, some judgment day action.
Somebody needs to come help, and maybe Live Morgan comes back.
Na she's still rehabbing.
That's going to be a minute but something's got to help him out.
And then h and Dominic Mysterio gets the victory.
Yeah, there's no more hiding.
Dominic got to show everybody what a real man looks like, a real man, a misterio man.
John Cena versus Cody Rhodes for the undisputed WWE Championship in a street fight.
This match should not be happening.
Cody Rhods forced John Cena to sign the contract illegally while he was unconscious.
That is not a legal contract in any way, shape or for him.
If John decides to pull out, I support him completely and you should too.
Contracts matter, laws matter.
Okay, they exist for a reason because people do some evil shit out there.
That's why they say, oh no, you can't kill somebody, because otherwise in traffic, a lot of y'all will be like, you know what, I am going to kill somebody today.
And I'm not judging.
I've been there, but yeah, so this is a street fight.
Speaker 1It'll be Could it.
Speaker 2Be match of the night.
Nah, I think there's one more that could beat it, but it's gonna be up there.
You guys like blood.
I've been kind of converted and now I like the blood.
I used to get squeamish about the blood, and now aew has corrupted my soul.
And so when they bleed in WW, it's even more special because they don't bleed that much.
And aw, they bleed like every match, right, and then you just get conditioned to it and you're like, oh, yeah, blood, but WW, They're like, nah, we bleed like once a month and only out of pay per view and you have to pay extra money to see my blood.
So yeah, so there goes.
There will be blood and it'll be an awesome match.
But John Cena is gonna win.
His story isn't to loose.
His story is to win.
He'll do something dirty.
It's a street fight, so you can do anything he wants.
He'll hate Cody and the Nuts with a Kendo stick or something like that and then knock them out with the title again and get the win, or choke them with a chain.
No, they just did that in AW.
They're they're not gonna do that.
But yeah, he's gonna do some dirty shit.
And our producer agrees, and so should you place your money on John Cena to retain the WWEE Championship undisputed.
Next up, this has a chance to be Match of the Night right here, This is gonna be my pick for Match of the night.
This is Naomi the Champ, the new Champ versus Ria Ripley, our favorite versus Eosky, who every time she's in one of these matches gives like a Performance of the night, like it was a UFC.
She would always win a performance bonus because she just does some of the illis shit and tells some of the best stories in the ring with her wrestling out of all the women, out of a lot of the men too.
Speaker 1Man, she's just awesome.
Speaker 2She takes huge bumps, she's super acrobatic to do crazy stuff.
Speaker 1She does the blind moon salt, which is awesome.
Speaker 2She does the front hand spring out of a lot of moves to like escape and then it's like, yeah, look at me on the shit, you can't do that, which is so dope and that's the heel shit.
But people love it.
This I think has a chance to be Match of the Night.
And I already know who's gonna win.
You guys already know who's gonna win because her promos have been nice, her matches have been nice.
Everything about it is long overdue.
Her acting is really really good.
She's even when the material isn't like and they've written good well for but not every one of these promos has been written like super super great, and she's still come off really really clean.
Speaker 1And that's Naomi.
Speaker 2And I love Rio Ripley and my heart wants Rial Ripley to win.
Speaker 1But Nah, that ain't happening.
Man, They're not.
Speaker 2Taking the belt off Naomi that quickly.
Not when she's that good on the mic and the crowd's really responding to everything she's doing.
It's Naomi all day long.
Our producer picks Naomi as well for the same reasons pretty much.
And that's it.
That's the card for both nights.
We got big time fights, gives opportunities for big time moments.
Will be her post summer slow.
We'll see how we did on the predictions.
We'll see if we made you money or if we lost you money.
For the first time ever, for the first time ever, because we bring home winners, baby, we bring home winners on this show.
Also come back tomorrow unsanctioned Thursday, or we're gonna talk not we but I'll talk about some of the best heel turns in wrestling, some of our favorites, and a very special.
Speaker 1Heal turn that you never saw coming.
Speaker 2This special heel turn is a producer surprise, and I'm kind of pissed about it, but we're gonna do it anyway.
Speaker 1Then you guys can laugh at my expense, all.
Speaker 2Right on, behalf of Jeff Diye and our producer Alex, I'm Freddy.
Friends, Guys, tune in tomorrow.
Thanks for tuning in every week.
We'll always be here for you.
Speaker 1Peace,
