#5 Aiden English vs. Andrade “Cien” Almas
Poor Aiden English. The former Vaudevillian can’t do anything right at the moment, can he? After inadvertently costing Rusev in his big WWE Championship match against AJ Styles at Extreme Rules, he has proven a liability week after week whenever “The Bulgarian Brute” or Lana compete in a match.
After it was confirmed that Rusev and Lana will team up to face Almas and Zelina Vega on the SummerSlam kickoff show, it was later announced that “El Idolo” will prepare for the match by taking on English on this week’s SmackDown.
If the last few weeks are anything to go by, it’s not difficult to choose the winner of this one.
Prediction: Andrade “Cien” Almas wins
