10 Early Predictions For WWE SummerSlam 2016
10. The New Day's Reign Comes To An End
The New Day’s rivalry with The Wyatt Family appeared to reach a conclusion at Battleground, when Xavier Woods’ hesitation allowed Bray Wyatt to spider-walk across the ring and drop him with Sister Abigail. Now on separate brands (Braun Strowman aside), there’s little reason to believe this feud is anything but over, and both teams look set to move-on to bigger and better things.
Woods, Kofi Kingston, and Big E recently brock Paul London and Brian Kendrick’s 333-days to become the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions of all-time, and there are a number of suitable challengers ahead of them. One tandem stands-out ahead of the pack, however: Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. The Club.
It began on Monday Night Raw. Gallows and Anderson ambushed the reigning champs during a particularly tedious crowd interaction, and Andrea D'Marco caught-up with them backstage, their message was very clear: The New Day are a joke, and we're coming for their belts.
This is the biggest tag team match that WWE can make at the moment, and it deserves a stage like SummerSlam. The New Day are one of the roster's most beloved acts, and The Club are well on their way to becoming one of the most reviled groups in recent memory. With the record already in the bag, now is the perfect opportunity to legitimise Anderson and Gallows as a major threat.
