HOT NEWS :- 6 Championship Outcomes From SummerSlam 2018 To Future WWE Television

SummerSlam now seems fully complemented. The matches are all set to develop future storylines. However, it is the championship matches which shine through this year. Fans will witness Brock Lesnar defending his Universal Championship and AJ Styles taking on Samoa Joe.

The build for SummerSlam has been dramatic. The championship storylines have offered twists and turns. They will culminate very soon. Nevertheless, the outcomes are immensely beneficial to the future. Brock Lesnar is a part of the older generation. Therefore, it now is the time for a change.

Fans deserve to see names like; Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, and Samoa Joe take the reigns. At SummerSlam, each match has a story to tell. The lengthy feud between Daniel Bryan and The Miz will culminate. Moreover, Baron Corbin seeks revenge against Finn Balor. Therefore, SummerSlam must deliver the highest level of entertainment.

Here are the most lucrative championship outcomes for SummerSlam.

# 6. Shinsuke Nakamura retains his championship

Shinsuke Namakura defeated Jeff Hardy for the WWE United States championship at Extreme Rules 2018. However, after the match, Randy Orton returned and attacked Hardy, see video below. Since then all three have been entwined in a weird showdown. At SummerSlam Hardy will challenge Nakamura for the championship.

Nakamura has been progressing excellently since leaving NXT. He has faced AJ Styles in numerous bouts. Moreover, he took Rusev to his limit on SmackDown. Now a champion his future looks bright. He has immense potential to reach heights similar to AJ Styles. 

Hardy versus Nakamura at SummerSlam is going to be interesting. Firstly, there is the expectation of high-quality performances. Secondly, how will Randy Orton factor into this match? Overall, fans should expect immense drama and well-developed story-telling. This match is beneficial for everyone involved. With Orton and Hardy fueling a feud. Nakamura will walk out as champion. 

# 5. Charlotte becomes champion

Charlotte has progressed into arguably the best female wrestler in the industry. Moreover, she is the daughter of Ric Flair. At SummerSlam Charlotte will compete in a Triple Threat match, alongside Becky Lynch and Carmela. It will be for the SmackDown Live women's championship.

On July 24th Becky Lynch defeated Carmela on SmackDown Live. The following week Charlotte returned saving Lynch from Carmela's attack, see video below. Subsequently, Paige would schedule a match between Carmela and Charlotte. Her victory provided entry to the championship match. It was now a Triple Threat match.

In the ring, Charlotte utilizes aerial attacks and technical wrestling. Moreover, she has a solid submission basis. However, her presence as a heel is arguably her best attribute. Lynch and Charlotte are friends. However, expect Charlotte to turn heel and win the championship. The current direction seems headed this way.

# 4. Alexa Bliss retains her championship

Alexa Bliss has progressed immensely since her Raw debut. However, she was also entertaining on SmackDown Live. Arguably Bliss is the most versatile female wrestler in WWE. Similar to Charlotte she is excellent in the ring and as a heel character. 

Bliss retained her championship at Extreme Rules against Nia Jax. Nevertheless, she has yet to outlast Ronda Rousey. In recent weeks Rousey finished her suspension and made her intentions clear. Kurt Angle scheduled Rousey to face Bliss at SummerSlam for the Raw Women's championship. She had an excellent showing against Alicia Fox, see video below.

Rousey has been hyped immensely since her debut. However, Bliss' efforts have been excellent. Therefore, considering her youth in the business, Rousey it unlikely to win at SummerSlam. It would be more beneficial to save this victory for the brand new women's PPV, Evolution. It would be more lucrative for WWE and their fans.

# 3. Dolph Ziggler retains his championship

Dolph Ziggler has been excellent as Intercontinental Champion. Moreover, his teaming with Drew McIntyre has been interesting. However, Seth Rollins will challenge him at SummerSlam 2018. Their match is going to be dramatic, considering their Iron Man match recently, see video below. 

Recently on Raw television, Ziggler and Rollins have been embroiled in singles and tag team matches. Their interaction has mostly been through promo segments. Their performances have been excellent. Presently, Rollins has had a few rematches. He has failed each opportunity to regain the Intercontinental championship.

Therefore, it serves WWE well to progress Rollins back into the Universal championship picture. Moreover, there is a myriad of talent ready to challenge Ziggler. Their match will be entertaining but expect Ziggler to retain. Leaving Rollins to move onto better things. 

# 2. Samoa Joe becomes WWE Champion

Samoa Joe and AJ Styles have an extensive history. Within Impact wrestling (then TNA) they fought for the X-Division championship. Then in later years for the TNA World Championship. In WWE Joe has been an excellent heel character.

His history in NXT was excellent, notably feuding with Finn Balor, see video below. However, on Raw and SmackDown Live Joe has feuded with huge names. Most notably Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. However, Joe has yet become a World champion. Albeit, on NXT.

Joe is dangerous in the ring. He has legitimate fighting skills and can utilize submissions. However, his opponent AJ Styles has equal abilities. Their history deserves the spotlight in WWE. Moreover, Joe is the perfect option for Styles to pass the torch. Therefore, WWE invests in their match. It deserves to main event SummerSlam. Nevertheless, expect Joe to walk out as champion.

# 1. Braun Strowman becomes champion

The history between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar is storied. They have collided multiple times. However, Reigns has yet tamed the beast. Most recently at the Greatest Royal Rumble Lesnar retained his championships. Albeit, it was speculated Reigns feet hit the floor first, see video below. Therefore, making their Steel Cage match perhaps the most controversial in modern history. 

On Raw television recently events were set in motion, gearing towards SummerSlam. Firstly, Kurt Angle challenged Lesnar to show up on Raw, or face losing his championship. Secondly, Reigns would outlast Bobby Lashley, becoming number one contender. Also on Raw Braun Strowman has been battling Kevin Owens. Their feud concerns the Money in the Bank (MITB) contract. 

At SummerSlam, matches will determine the MITB contract owner and the Universal champion. Therefore, what happens will be crucial to future story-lines. Considering their investment in Strowman, WWE must capitalize and have Strowman cash in his opportunity. Moreover, he must be victorious. However, Strowman must defeat the newly crowned Reigns. Therefore, allowing Lesnar to enter a feud with a potential new client of Paul Heyman, as per recent events on Raw, see video below.

WWE Night Of Champions 2012 » Matches » Randy Orton vs Dolph Ziggler

At Night of Champions, every illustrious title in the WWE will be up for grabs. However, not every match at the pay-per-view will revolve around championship gold. Some rivalries are so intense that they become more about the simple need to be better than an adversary. Such is the case between Randy Orton and Dolph Ziggler.

As learned by WWE.com on Sunday, Sept. 9, the two are set to square off in a furious showdown at Night of Champions.

Ziggler continues to set the WWE ablaze, proving week in and week out that he is one of the best up-and-comers that the squaredcircle has to offer.  After overcoming seven other elite Superstars to capture a Money in the Bank contract at the epic pay-per-view of the same name, the former World Heavyweight Champion went on to battle Chris Jericho and help end Y2J’s time in WWE.

Then, after Randy Orton cost him a chance to cash in his World Title opportunity on World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, Ziggler set his sights on WWE’s Apex Predator.

When it comes to in-ring competitors, Orton is synonymous with ability, fearless fury and unpredictable ruthlessness. Over the years, these qualities have helped to make him a nine-time World Champion and one of the most dangerous Superstars in WWE. He has forged his greatness against the likes of John Cena, The Undertaker and Triple H.

However, while there is no denying The Viper’s impressive resume, The Showoff does have one distinct advantage against him. Despite Orton’s countless accolades, he is still facing a Superstar who is hungry to test his worth. As he clutches his Money in the Bank briefcase, Ziggler stands constantly poised to show that he can hang with the likes of The Viper in the main event.

When Orton cost Ziggler a chance to do just that – hitting him with an RKO as Mr. Money in the Bank was looking to cash in his title opportunity on The Great White on the Aug. 24 edition of SmackDown, he ignited a firestorm.

One week later, Orton reigned supreme over his bleach blond opponent in the SmackDown main event. Three days later on the Sept. 3 edition of Raw, the determined Ziggler returned the favor, overcoming Orton with the help of a handful of tights.

On the following SmackDown, just moments after Damien Sandow fled his match with The Viper, Orton initiated a post-match battle with The Showoff, presumably retaliating after Ziggler caused a distraction during the contest. This led an irate Ziggler to confront SmackDown General Manager Booker T’s Senior Advisor Theodore Long and demand a third match with his venomous adversary.

Who will reign supreme in their third brutal showdown? Find out when the nine-time World Champion attempts to bankrupt Mr. Money in the Bank, Sept. 16 at 8/5 PT, only on pay-per-view.

>> Money In the Bank 2012 Matches : Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract

World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus already knew the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract would mean he’d have a new No. 1 contender. Now, after the final qualifying match on Monday night's Raw SuperShow, The Great White knows all eight interesting possibilities for whom that contender could be.

Following a series of qualifying matches that took place over the past few weeks, the competitors in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract have been decided, and the field is an exciting one featuring a diverse mix of styles.

“The Intellectual Savior to the Unwashed Masses,” Damien Sandow, was the first to punch his ticket back on the June 29 edition of SmackDown. Staving off the “ignorance, mediocrity and stupidity” of fan-favorite Zack Ryder, Sandow continued his unbeaten ways, winning the most important match of his young WWE career. Will “The Enlightened One” emerge victorious in the grueling Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract or is the loquacious Superstar biting off more than he can chew?

In SmackDown’s second qualifying match on June 29, Tyson Kidd picked up an upset win over a Superstar who not only previously won a Money in the Bank Ladder Match, but also successfully cashed in the contract, Jack Swagger. Pinning “The All-American American” after a back-and-forth contest, the always exciting Kidd booked himself a spot in a match where truly anything can happen.

Intercontinental Champion Christian and United States Champion Santino Marella sealed their spots in the match with a tag team victory over Cody Rhodes and David Otunga on June 29. The recently re-inspired Christian borrowed from his best friend, WWE Hall of Famer Edge, when he used a Spear to dispatch Otunga. Could either Captain Charisma or the master of The Cobra become the first dual-title holder since Ultimate Warrior?

The fearsome Tensai withstood the high-flying attacks of a game Justin Gabriel to make himself the fifth entrant in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract. Massive, powerful and relentless, the Japanese import figures to play a major role in this contest, as he looks to gain a guaranteed shot at Sheamus’ title.

On the special SuperSmackDown LIVE on July 3, Rhodes re-entered the Money in the Bank picture after Interim General Manager Theodore Long agreed to let him fight for a spot in the match. (Rhodes had previously lodged a formal protest on the grounds that he was not pinned in his first qualifying match, the aforementioned tag bout.) To secure his place, Rhodes had to defeat Intercontinental Champion Christian, which he did in a hard-fought battle. Will Rhodes be able to squeeze past Christian – and six other Superstars – on July 15?

Adding to the intrigue of the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract is Dolph Ziggler, who upended Alex Riley in a qualifying match on the July 3 show. Though The Showoff has had a tough go of trying to end Sheamus’ title reign in recent weeks, have back-to-back losses to The Celtic Warrior only served to further motivate the unquestionably driven Ziggler?

The eighth and final contestant is bound to add a whole different, daring element to the fast and furious action. Sin Cara won the last qualifying match on the July 9 edition of Raw SuperShow, capturing a spot in a Money in the Bank Ladder Match for the second year in a row. It was at Money in the Bank 2011 that The International Sensation took a brutal powerbomb through a ladder at the hands of Sheamus, knocking him out of the bout completely. Can Sin Cara beat the odds and move on to face the very Superstar who viciously injured him?

With eight qualifiers in total, the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling encounters of the year.

For the uninitiated, the savage Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract pits competitors against each other in a free-for-all format. Surrounding the ring is an assortment of ladders Superstars use to reach the prize that dangles 15 feet in the air: a contract that guarantees a title opportunity at the time and place of the winning Superstar’s choosing. So far, everyone who cashed in his contract has come away from his challenge as a new champion.

At Money in the Bank, one Superstar will emerge victorious from the chaos that is the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a World Championship Contract with a golden opportunity at Sheamus’ World Heavyweight Title. Tune in to Money in the Bank July 15, live on pay-per-view at 8 ET/5 PT. (HOW TO WATCH)

BREAKING NEWS: Zack Ryder, Dolph Ziggler and Justin Roberts involved in a car accident in San Diego

SAN DIEGO – WWE Superstars Zack Ryder, Dolph Ziggler and announcer Justin Roberts were involved in a car accident just outside of downtown San Diego on Friday afternoon just after 5:00 p.m. PT. Traveling in a limousine, the three were rear-ended as they were transported from Comic-Con: International at the San Diego Convention Center.

"It was a quiet ride since Dolph and I don’t get along. Then, all of a sudden, the brakes hit and I slid down the couch part of the limo. The driver stopped and the car behind us hit us," Zack Ryder said.

"I landed on the floor and my neck hit the edge of the chair," Ryder added. "Ziggler went flying. Justin went flying. The car hit us full speed; we all got thrown from our seats. My neck is a little sore. That’s it. We’re all OK though."

Local paramedics examined the former United States Champion and his fellow passengers, finding no major injuries, according to Ryder.

"It was a big limo, so we couldn’t tell exactly what was going on outside, but we merged on to a highway and then at one point we braked," Justin Roberts told WWE.com. "Zack basically slid down the bench. Dolph and I were sitting in the back facing forward, and Zack was on the bench sitting sideways. Then, out of nowhere, we got hit pretty hard."

Roberts continued, "You could tell by the way Zack was sitting, that his neck [was hurt], and Dolph was sitting right in front of where the impact was, so he got hit hard.

"I don’t remember what happened with myself," Roberts said. "I just know I was sitting on the floor with my knee up, and I was fine. Then I saw that my leg was bleeding, and it hurt. I don’t know what I hit my knee on."

Roberts explained that his cut was minor and he will have it reevaluated when he sees WWE physicians at the WWE Live Event in Tucson, Ariz., this weekend.

"I don’t think anyone was hurt in an emergency way," he said. "It doesn’t feel good, but we didn’t want to sit around in a hospital in San Diego."

According to Roberts, all three declined going to the hospital; he and Ryder are now traveling by car to Phoenix and Ziggler departed on a flight out of San Diego. Stay with WWE.com as more details become available.

No Way Out 2012 » Matches » Sheamus vs Dolph Ziggler (World Championship)

Just six days before his No Way Out title showdown against World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio found himself not medically cleared for action, thanks to a concussion he received during a match with The Great Khali on the June 8 edition of SmackDown.

With time of the essence, a new No. 1 contender for The Celtic Warrior was promptly established on Raw SuperShow. That Superstar would be none other than Dolph Ziggler, an ultra-dangerous competitor on a mission to prove himself.

Ever since his tag team loss on the May 28 edition of Raw, the determined Ziggler has been on a quest to show he truly belongs among the elite. However, despite his obvious drive and incredible talent, he would ultimately come up short in back-to-back outings against the first-ever Irish-born World Heavyweight Champion within a week – both on SmackDown and Raw.

So why exactly should The Celtic Warrior respect his latest pay-per-view challenger?

The answer can be found, not at the finish line, but in the race itself. In both intense encounters against The Great White, Ziggler demonstrated exceptional ability, nearly toppling one of the best Superstars who the squared circle has to offer at every pass. Though it’s true that he didn’t win, The Showoff did exactly what he set out to do: He brought his tremendous skills center stage.

Will it pay off in the long run? A former World Heavyweight Champion himself, Ziggler knows how it feels to get to the top of the mountain and, without question, has shown the capability to get there again.

But, defeating Sheamus involves a lot more than besting the luck of the Irish. Since defeating Daniel Bryan for the World Title in 18 seconds at WrestleMania XXVIII, the intense three-time World Champion again overcame the submission specialist in a grueling 2-out-of-3 Falls Match at Extreme Rules and triumphed in a Fatal 4-Way encounter at WWE Over the Limit against the likes of Del Rio, Chris Jericho and Randy Orton. The Celtic Warrior loves to fight and looks impressive doing it week in and week out.

Will Ziggler make an elite explosion at the expense of The Celtic Warrior? Find out this Sunday, at 8 ET/5 PT, only on pay-per-view.

TLC 2011: United States Champion Dolph Ziggler vs. Zack Ryder

Will Zack Ryder finally get a United States Championship Match
against Dolph Ziggler? Woo Woo Woo! You know it!
At WWE TLC: Tables Ladders and Chairs, the self proclaimed
Internet Champion will finally have an opportunity to win his first recognized WWE
singles title, thanks to his No. 1 Broski, John Cena.
On the Dec. 5 edition of Raw SuperShow, Cena selflessly agreed
to Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and Interim Raw General Manager,
John Laurinaitis’ stipulation that The Cenation Commander-in-Chief forego a WWE
Championship Match himself in order for Long Island Iced-Z to get one last opportunity
to earn a United States title bout. All Ryder needed to do was defeat Mr.
Laurinaitis’ handpicked opponent, The World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry in
a match with no disqualifications and no count-outs! The overwhelming
expectation of the WWE Universe was that the Twitter-trending leader of the”
Zack Pack” was going to be the next inductee into The World Strongest Man’s
“Hall of Pain.”
When all hope seemed lost and Ryder’s title-free match pinfall
victory over Ziggler and almost 25,000 twitition signatures seemed moot, Cena
charged the ring, took advantage of the fact that there were no disqualifications
and assured that Ryder won the contest. In doing so, Ryder finally won the
opportunity to challenge Dolph for the United States Championship.
Will Zack make the most of this opportunity he’s worked so
hard for and be able hang the United States Title next to his Christmas
stocking and headband? Not if the longest reigning champion in WWE stays true
to form. Over the last few months, Ziggler’s win-loss record in title-free
matches has been less than stellar but he’s continuously found a way to win
when it really counts, in title matches.
Dolph has also had two matches on the last two WWE pay-per-view events.  At TLC, he’ll be completely focused on
deleting the Internet Champion from title contention once and for all.
Can Zack show up the showoff and win the vaunted United
States Championship? We’ll find out at WWE TLC on Dec. 18, live on
pay-per-view.
