11 HUGE WWE SummerSlam 2019 Predictions You Need To Know

9. AJ Styles Vs. Ricochet

Under slight pressure to perform at the level expected after underwhelming in their maiden pay-per-view offering, AJ Styles and Ricochet are extremely capable of doing extraordinary things if permitted, especially on a show with ample time to do just that.

There is precedent for it too.

In 2016, AJ Styles and John Cena had a great match on their first supercard together, but obliterated it with a f*cking incredible one at SummerSlam. Styles' victory established him as a one to watch, made enough by the Cena story that he was deemed a fit and proper choice for WWE Champion just a month later.

'The One And Only' might not get there quite as quick, but he could well ascend beyond the rank and file if he can give his half of a match similar to that scorcher with 'The Champ', not least if he actually comes out on top in this one with the troublesome Karl Anderson/Luke Gallows pairing out of the picture.

Winner: Ricochet
