Despite discussions earlier in the week around whether the talent would be able to fly into the country, any issues were resolved and the show is set to go. And I have to say, whether you agree with the decision to run in Saudi Arabia or not, this looks like strong lineup on paper that will impact storyline in the weeks and months to come. At the very least, we\u2019ll have two SummerSlam matches set based on the winners of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments. So, with that said, let\u2019s run down the card!<\/p>\n<p><b>John Cena vs. CM Punk for the WWE Championship.\u00a0<\/b>Cena cut a memorable promo on last week\u2019s Smackdown. Some people are lauding it as one of the best promos of all time. I\u2019ll just say it was memorable. If the plan is to have Punk lose and immediately turn heel, the promo was OK. But if they\u2019re planning to keep Punk babyface for several more months, I don\u2019t know how he comes back should he take a loss. Despite being the heel, Cena was pretty much right about everything he said and the fans reacted in kind. As of this writing, I haven\u2019t seen Smackdown yet so there\u2019s always the chance that Punk cuts a strong go-home promo to lessen the damage but I really think the company damaged one of their top babyfaces in an effort to create a memorable moment.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts:<\/i>\u00a0<i>John Cena retains the WWE Championship.<\/i><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes in the King of the Ring tournament final.\u00a0<\/b>I\u2019m surprised by this because I thought they\u2019d save this match for when Orton turned heel, but I guess this match will be part of that story. I don\u2019t see them going back to Orton vs. Cena at SummerSlam so Cody would be the logical choice here. Cody vs. Cena II also doesn\u2019t do much for me, but after their match at Mania, the only direction they can go is up. I assume that Orton will eventually refer back to this match when he finally drops Rhodes with an RKO.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts:<\/i>\u00a0<i>Cody Rhodes wins the King of the Ring tournament.<\/i><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Asuka vs. Jade Cargill in the Queen of the Ring tournament final.\u00a0<\/b>This match intrigues me. It\u2019s clear that the company is taking the training wheels off with Cargill and putting her in longer matches. She\u2019s still a work in progress but her match with Naomi at WrestleMania was decent. This will be Asuka\u2019s first longer-form singles match since returning from injury but she should still be a great test to see if Cargill can perform in high-profile matches. I suspect Cargill goes on to feud with Bianca Belair from here while Asuka goes after Iyo Sky\u2019s title.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts:<\/i>\u00a0<i>Asuka wins the Queen of the Ring tournament.<\/i><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Jacob Fatu vs. Solo Sikoa for the U.S. Championship.\u00a0<\/b>Fatu has the potential to be WWE\u2019s next main event star, so I am hoping this is a \u201cone and done\u201d though I think this is only the beginning. I expect Fatu to retain based on some kind of DQ finish or something similar with outside interference from JC Mateo to set up that match down the road.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: Jacob Fatu retains the U.S. Championship.<\/i><\/p><div id=\"prowr-2050370251\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b>Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez in a Street Fight.\u00a0<\/b>It&#8217;s good to see Ripley get a match on the PLE even though she\u2019s kind of spinning her wheels outside of the title picture. She would be my top pick to move brands in the draft in order to challenge for the WWE Women\u2019s Championship and have some fresh matches over on Smackdown.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: Rhea Ripley defeats Raquel Rodriguez in a Street Fight.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross.\u00a0<\/b>Persistence pays off as it appears that Kross\u2019 outspokenness online has created a fan movement that earned him a slot on the show. I don\u2019t see him winning here but I am interested to see if he continues to get higher profile roles and matches.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: Sami Zayn defeats Karrion
