13 WWE SummerSlam 2018 Results Predictions
10. WWE 2K19 Release 15 October
Members of the A Jay Community might lament the Georgian's less-than-stellar 2018; detractors are probably anticipating a title change this Sunday.
It won't happen, for two reasons that have little do with wrestling.
Firstly, AJ Styles broke a 'record' this week, becoming the longest ever reigning 'SmackDown Champion'. Yes, that is utterly meaningless, but the fact it's been acknowledged let's you know WWE have his day tally on their minds. Brock may have erased CM Punk's modern-day tenure from the books, but it's all, well, a bit embarrassing. Plus it was the wrong belt. Styles has a long way to go to beat Punk's number, but he can at least surpass it with combined reigns in the next two months, and that may be enough to fit the narrative.
Secondly, the company's next annualised video game release is due this autumn, with The Phenomenal One front and centre of a million dollar giveaway campaign. That belt's staying put.
Prediction: Styles retains, as fans become oddly nostalgic for TNA.
