Bengaluru, August 19: The 30th edition of the Summerslam PPV will take place on this Sunday. It is a dual brand PPV where superstars from both Raw and Smackdown will participate. The full match card is quite a stacked one with every championship being on the line except for the Intercontinental title held by The Miz.

The main event of the night is supposedly going to be the fatal-4-way match contested for the Universal Championship. The WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal will be defending against Shinsuke Nakamura. For the third straight year, the biggest event of the summer will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Additionally, for the Indian fans, the whole show will be streamed in Hindi for the very first time on the WWE Network.

Check out the entire schedule of Summerslam, here:

Live Streaming: Monday, August 21st, 4.30 AM (WWE Network & Ten 1/ Ten 1 HD Network)

Repeat telecast: Monday, August 21st, 6 PM (Ten 1/ Ten 1 HD Network)

Wednesday, August 23rd, 9 PM (Ten 1/ Ten 1 HD Network)

Sunday, August 27th, 2 PM (Ten 1/ Ten 1 HD Network)

Here is the full match card of Summerslam with predictions for each of the contest:

Akira Tozawa vs. Neville (WWE Cruiserweight Championship)

Prediction: We have just crowned a new Cruiserweight champion in Akira Tozawa and it is likely that he will earn a dominant win on Neville to continue his title run. No title change is expected, here.

Cesaro and Sheamus vs. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins (Raw tag team Championship)

Prediction: Sheamus will be out of the WWE following Summerslam for filming purpose of his new movie. So, the fans should get ready for witnessing their beloved Shield brethren to become the new Raw tag team champions which are a long-time coming.

The New Day vs. The Usos (Smackdown tag team Championship)

Prediction: With two of the wisest teams battling it out for the titles, it is evident that this match will turn out to be the show-stealer of the night. The New Day is still the favorite to retain the titles since they have won the title just at the last Smackdown-exclusive PPV.

Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt

Prediction: Finn Balor will unleash his demon persona exactly after one long year at the same event of Summerslam. Considering, Bray Wyatt has won the first matchup on Raw, this time the creative will want to protect the demonic persona of Balor by letting him win this contest.

Big Show vs. Big Cass (Enzo Amore locked inside shark cage)

Prediction: WWE Universe should be ready to witness the swerve of the night when Enzo Amore will turn on against Big Show and hand a win to his former partner, Big Cass. The world's largest athlete will lose via this chaos as we might get to see a reunification of Enzo & Cass.

John Cena vs. Baron Corbin

Prediction: John Cena will move towards WWE Raw once this match is over. So, to pick up some momentum on his side, the Cenation Leader is expected to pick up the win to end his Summerslam losing streak. We can expect Nikki Bella to be present at ringside during this contest.

Randy Orton vs. Rusev

Prediction: Randy Orton has been given a task of putting over new guys, lately. So, he will stick to this business by digesting another loss in a PPV. Rusev will use this win to get to the main event spotlight.

Alexa Bliss vs Sasha Banks (Raw Women's Championship)

Prediction: Although Sasha Banks should be the winner of this match, she is not the favorite considering her bad record in big PPVs. Bliss is still favored by the creative team for her heel antics and we should not be surprised if she retains, yet again.

Naomi vs. Natalya (Smackdown Women's Championship)

Prediction: Natalya is not supposed to win the women's title at this point where she has turned into a jobber for a long time. Naomi would walk out as the champion unless Carmella cashes in the Money in the Bank briefcase and captures the title, all of a sudden.

AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens (US title match with Shane McMahon special guest referee)

Prediction: Shane McMahon was included to this match so that he can be the deciding factor in this contest. The champion will retain after another mega match which will allow Owens to blame McMahon for this. The rift between the commissioner and Owens will continue following Summerslam by virtue of this.

Jinder Mahal vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (WWE Championship)

Prediction: Jinder Mahal is still the favorite to walk out as the champion out of this match. The officials have not built the feud to its fullest potential due to this reason. The Singh Brothers might turn out to be the helping hands for Jinder to retain the title, yet again.

Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe vs. Braun Strowman (WWE Universal Championship)

Prediction: As per recent spoilers, Brock Lesnar is advertised for Raw and the No Mercy PPV. So, it is quite clear that he will remain the Universal Champion following this match. However, prior to that, it will be ruckus inside and outside the ring when these four behemoths collide. The main event of Summerslam will certainly be the one to watch out for.
