In this article, let’s take a look at five last-minute predictions ahead of the episode.
#5 Will Braun Strowman’s losing run continue?
Braun Strowman’s current tally of three televised losses in a row is hardly Curt Hawkins levels of bad, but it’s still significant when you consider that he hasn’t been on a winless streak like this since way back in January 2016.
Heading into SummerSlam, “The Monster Among Men” has to get back to winning ways as he prepares to put his Money In The Bank contract on the line against Kevin Owens on 19 August.
Jinder Mahal continues to be involved in the Strowman vs. Owens story as we get closer to the PPV, so let’s predict that Mr. MITB will pick up a victory over the former WWE champion to gain some much-needed momentum – and send a monstrous message to KO – ahead of next Sunday’s big match.
Prediction: Braun Strowman defeats Jinder Mahal
