The Chairshot Staff Picks: WWE SummerSlam 2019

SummerSlam is here, let the arguments begin over whether it or the Rumble are the number two PPV in WWE(one of my fav wrestling arguments). Plenty of big names and quality matchups to follow another homerun from the ladies and gentlemen in NXT. I’ll give you a Tunney special here before we get to the prognostications, this will be WWE’s best show of the year. Now, let’s dig out the old Magic8 ball and see if we can read Vincent Kennedy McMahon’s mind…

Goldberg v Dolph Ziggler

• Abe Odeh – Goldberg
• Bradley Jay – Goldberg
• Bobby Fernandes – Goldberg
• Carol Cassada – Goldberg
• Harry Broadhurst – Goldberg
• Mathew Sarpriacone – Goldberg
• Rey Ca$h – Goldberg
• Rob Bonnette – Goldberg
• Scott Mcleod – Goldberg
• Steve Cook – Goldberg
• Steven Mitchell – Goldberg
• Tiffany Carter – Goldberg
• Miranda Morales – Goldberg
• Patrick O’Dowd – Goldberg
• Dave Ungar – Goldberg
• Christopher Platt – Goldberg
• DPP – Goldberg
• Greg DeMarco – Goldberg

Tunney’s Take: Goldberg should be giving back while he still has something left to give. I would book Ziggler to absolutely dismantle Bill, and quickly. This could easily lead to a rematch giving WWE another big name for another PPV as they ramp up for FOX and the beginning of AEW’s weekly TV existence. Dolph Ziggler… why not him? A Ziggler/Lesnar feud could be just what the Dr. ordered. My pick is Dolph Ziggler

• Abe Odeh – Charlotte
• Bradley Jay – Charlotte
• Bobby Fernandes – Trish

• Rob Bonnette – Charlotte
• Scott Mcleod – Charlotte
• Steve Cook – Charlotte
• Steven Mitchell – Charlotte
• Tiffany Carter – Charlotte
• Miranda Morales – Trish
• Patrick O’Dowd – Charlotte
• Dave Ungar – Charlotte
• Christopher Platt – Charlotte
• DPP – Charlotte
• Greg DeMarco – Trish

Finn Balor v Bray Wyatt

• DPP – Wyatt
• Greg DeMarco – Wyatt

Tunney’s Take: Here at TheChairshot.com we’re really glad that you’rr our friend, and this is a friendship that will never ever end because all you have to do is, LET US IN!! Fire Fly Funhouse to the spectacular new look/mask to the looooooong build (which I’m in favor of). All of the aforementioned to have The Fiend Bray Wyatt lose? Hell No! My pick is Bray Wyatt

Kevin Owens v Shane McMahon

• Abe Odeh – Owens
• Bradley Jay – Owens
• Bobby Fernandes – Owens
• Carol Cassada – Owens
• Harry Broadhurst – Owens
• Mathew Sarpriacone – Owens
• Rey Ca$h – Owens
• Rob Bonnette – Owens
• Scott Mcleod – Owens
• Steve Cook – Owens
• Steven Mitchell – Owens
• Tiffany Carter – Owens
• Miranda Morales – Owens
• Patrick O’Dowd – Shae
• Dave Ungar – Owens
• Christopher Platt – Shane
• DPP – Owens
• Greg DeMarco – Shane

Tunney’s Take: I see shenanigans galore here. Said shenanigans should lead to Kevin Owens getting screwed over yet again. Shane is one of WWE’s top heals right now and his momentum shouldn’t be stunted whatsoever. KO has enough steam and skill on the mic to absorb a loss here despite the stipulation. I’m looking for Owens to continue his outlaw/renegade streak. My pick is Shane McMahon

Tunney’s Take: If this event wasn’t in Canada Trish wouldn’t be wrestling and Nattie wouldn’t have this mach. My pick is Becky Lynch.

Kofi Kingston (c) v Randy Orton

• Abe Odeh – Kofi
• Bradley Jay – Orton
• Bobby Fernandes – Orton
• Carol Cassada – Orton
• Harry Broadhurst – Kofi
• Mathew Sarpriacone – Kofi
• Rey Ca$h – Kofi
• Rob Bonnette – Kofi
• Scott Mcleod – Orton
• Steve Cook – Kofi
• Steven Mitchell – Kofi
• Tiffany Carter – Kofi
• Miranda Morales – Kofi
• Patrick O’Dowd – Kofi
• Dave Ungar – Kofi

• DPP – Kofi
• Greg DeMarco – Orton

Tunney’s Take: This is a TOUGH one. Randy provides a viable source to allow WWE to take the belt off Kofi but, I just can’t bring myself to picking the viper here. It was no mystery to me or anyone that ALWAYS uses their head that Kofi was definitely carrying the strap till at least this very show.  No trouble, just paradise tonight for the New Day member. My pick is Kofi Kingston

Brock Lesnar (c) v Seth Rollins

• Abe Odeh – Brock
• Bradley Jay – Brock
• Bobby Fernandes – Brock
• Carol Cassada – Brock
• Harry Broadhurst – Rollins
• Mathew Sarpriacone – Rollins
• Rey Ca$h – Rollins
• Rob Bonnette – Brock
• Scott Mcleod – Brock
• Steve Cook – Rollins
• Steven Mitchell – Rollins
• Tiffany Carter – Rollins
• Miranda Morales – Brock
• Patrick O’Dowd – Brock
• Dave Ungar – Rollins
• Christopher Platt – Rollins
• DPP – Brock
• Greg DeMarco – Brock

Tunney’s Take: Seth Rollins is a very talented individual in every aspect of pro wrestling but, this isn’t about Seth. Another sizable run with the belt for Lesnar could pay huge dividends down the road, and along it, for WWE. More viewers, more consumers, more media attention and at the end IF booked correctly a giant rub for the RIGHT guy. My pick is Brock Lesnar
