Raw Women’s Championship Match: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Bianca Belair

While “The Queen of Spades” was looking to destroy the mystique of “The Man” at WrestleMania 36, but she couldn’t get the job done. No amount of mixed martial arts acumen saved her from a good ol’ fashioned wrestling move.

Now, Becky Lynch continues her reign as Raw Women’s Champion, but who could possibly dethrone her? With all the names she’s gone through, it seems like it would have to be someone completely new, and the prime candidate is “The EST of NXT” Bianca Belair.

We even saw the opening established at WrestleMania 36. After Street Profits successfully defended their Raw Tag Team Titles, Zelina Vega was part of the three-person post-match beatdown until Bianca Belair came out and demolished Vega with the KOD.

After finishing things with Vega on a future episode of Raw, all Bianca Belair has to do is turn her attention to Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and chart her course to becoming “The EST of WWE.” Belair should be leaving SummerSlam 2020 with gold around her waist.

Prediction: Bianca Belair def. Becky Lynch to become the new Raw Women’s Champion

Universal Championship Match: Braun Strowman (c) vs. Roman Reigns

It took truly unexpected circumstances to bring us to this moment, but it’s still where we’ve come. Few would’ve been surprised by this match a few years ago, but it seemed like a far away memory just a few weeks ago.

After Roman Reigns chose to pull out of WrestleMania 36 to mitigate his risk of exposure to COVID-19 due to his compromised immune system, there was a void to be filled against Universal Champion Goldberg. WWE chose Braun Strowman to replace Reigns, and after four powerslams it was Strowman who was the Universal Champion.

It’s not exactly farfetched to believe that, had WrestleMania 36 gone on as originally intended, Roman Reigns would’ve left Raymond James Stadium as Universal Champion. As a result, it’s only right that he should be coming for Braun Strowman once WWE things are safer and relatively back to normal.

Strowman got his moment, one way or another, but he doesn’t need to hold the title any longer than it takes for Roman Reigns to face him for it. SummerSlam 2020 needs to see Roman Reigns emerge as the new Universal Champion.

Prediction: Roman Reigns def. Braun Strowman to become the new Universal Champion
