10 HUGE WWE SummerSlam 2021 Predictions You Need To Know
Summer Of Cena ends with a shock? Last year we "never saw it coming", but this year, do we WANT to?
There was always going to be a particularly massive event in 2021, and SummerSlam was deemed just that the moment WWE released they were actually going to be able to pull it off.
WrestleMania 37 Night One was an emotional affair, with the mere sight of socially distanced audiences in attendance so utterly thrilling that it powered an evening nearly destroyed by inclement weather. There'll be no such distractions on Saturday night in Sin City, and the pressure feels on to make the most of an extraordinary occasion.
Upwards of 40,000 people will file in to Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium for a show that has been promoted as a "vacation destination" by the company in an attempt to make up for the lost WrestleManias and other associated supercards over the last 18 months.
With John Cena on top and the card looking set to go long, there's a distinctly pre-2020 vibe to the whole thing, but everything with that post-pandemic euphoria has hit differently to a 2019 that seems much longer than just two years ago.
Will a historic edition of the 'Biggest Party Of The Summer' do the same?
10. The Usos (c) Vs. Rey & Dominik Mysterio
The most interest aspect of this Money In the Bank Kickoff rematch isn't based around if a father and son can win back their Tag Team Championships, but if a defeat drives a permanent and devastating wedge.
Rey Mysterio has been instructing son Dominik to stay focussed of late, seemingly setting up how the pair will lose at the pay-per-view. If this at long last provides the son-on-father turn that's been brewing since the young lad's custody was fought over decades ago, this'll all have mostly been very worth it.
On the other side of the ring, a familial unit has less than nothing going on despite much of the last 12 months being dedicated to the supposed complexities of The Bloodline and its veering tendrils. Perhaps real life indiscretions have resulted in a scaling back of the Jimmy/Jey/Roman Reigns saga for now, but it's been odd watching them reduced to clowns based on the prior several months of very serious slow speaking.
It might have some life left in it though. Jey got his shot last September, who's to say Jimmy won't get a go one year on?
Winner - The Usos
