WWE SummerSlam 2022 Predictions: John Cena Will Screw Austin Theory
By Mark Justice
Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Omos [U.S. Championship]
Omos will dethrone Bobby Lashley because Bobby Lashley is clearly a transitional champion who will inevitably put over Omos in a feud that is far from over. Although this is another WrestleMania rematch, the stakes are much higher with the U.S. Title on the line. Omos has been a dominant force on Raw but has not won a championship that proves his worth as a singles star. Since he is still green and not yet ready for the main event scene, the U.S. Title would be more suitable for his dominant run as he squashes all of the mid-carders in sight.
Prediction: Omos
Ezekiel vs. Kevin Owens [Grudge Match]
Ezekiel will defeat Kevin Owens because he needs payback from his PPV loss at WWE HIAC 2022. He has to establish his nascent gimmick with a PPV victory over Owens, so a SummerSlam babyface payoff moment should be in store for him. While Owens is the true backbone of this storyline, his role, unfortunately, seems to be a ‘hand’ or “utility guy” who is there to put over mid-card and main event babyfaces over on Raw. Hopefully, this feud will officially end once Kevin Owens returns from his minor injury and both superstars can move on to other feuds.
Prediction: Ezekiel
