Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to The Chairshot Staff Picks! Summer is upon us and so our sights are set on the highway to hell!… aka SummerSlam. Before we can get there, we must endure a few checkpoints along the way. First up, Stomping Grounds!!! A very solid card of intriguing matchups.

Becky Lynch(c) v Lacey Evans

• Bradley Jay – Becky
• Bobby Fernandes – Becky
• Carol Cassada – Becky
• Francesca Scopalleti – Becky
• Harry Broadhurst – Becky
• Jason Shufletowski – Becky
• Mathew Sarpriacone – Becky
• Rey Ca$h – Becky
• Rob Bonnette – Becky
• Steve Cook – Becky
• Steven Mitchell – Becky
• Tiffany Carter – Becky
• Dave Ungar – Becky
• Miranda Morales – Becky
• DPP – Becky
• Chris Platt – Becky
• Andrew Balaz – Becky
• Greg DeMarco – Lacey

Tunney’s Take: Not that I am 100% confident on all of my other picks but, I really struggled here and wanted to go along with DeMarco. How long can we keep Lacey Evans at the top of the women’s division without a title victory? Another loss here would hurt her legitimacy of being a top star in the women’s division(imo). However, like most title holders right now, it makes sense to see them defending at SummerSlam. My pick is Becky Lynch … insert Dolph Ziggler record scratch here … Becky is better chasing and why not keep this feud going all summer. My pick is Lacey Evans!!! Let’s do this Greg!
