Welcome to the WWE Ringside Podcast.I am your host, Robert, and
this is our Summer Slam prediction show. So I'm gonna keep it a little
bit short. We've got what eightmatches on the card. Let's start right
(00:23):
out here with the Slim Jim SummerSlamBattle Royale. Now looking this morning,
here we have what looks like Ithink sixteen confirmed entrance. They are La
Night, Shamus, Tomasso, ChampaShinsky and Dokamara, Otis, Chad Gable,
(00:46):
Caring Crossed, Grayson Waller, MattRiddle, Santos Escobar, aj Styles,
the Miss, Carl Anderson, LukeGallos, Butch Rich Holland and Austin
Theory. I feel like this isLa Knights to lose, But we keep
(01:07):
saying that m WWE is going tohave to pull the trigger here at some
point. I mean, the fansare doing all they can to tell management
(01:27):
who they want to be pushed.Um, and I mean with all the
other pls, it's no different.This could be La Knights lunching point.
Um. They don't say they don'tthink the winner of this magic gets anything,
(01:53):
um, but it could give hima steak to go talk to Adam
Pierce and say, you know,hey, I won this Battle Royale,
give me a shot at the UStitle or whatever. Um. So we
could because he's something catapult off ofit. So I think give me La
(02:17):
Night as your Battle Royale winner.I think we'll, excuse me, we
will see some good uh good headto heads that theory and Escobar that'll be
all pretty good. We've got umotis and crossing that'll be kind of cool.
(02:49):
Um. I don't know. Ithink it's a good head to heads
going on in this Battle Royal.Um. But let's move on here,
La Knight I do have as yourwinner. Next we have Rhonda row See
versus Shana Basler in an MMA rulesmatch. I don't really know. Let's
(03:14):
see here. I did a quicksearch, and according to this, the
professional wrestling version of a mixed martialarts match understandard MMA as an MMA,
pinfalls are not a valid method ofvictory. Matches can typically only be won
(03:38):
by knockout, submission, disqualification forfeit, or by going to a referee's decision.
So that's kind of what I foundfor what we're going to have for
this match. Doesn't sound like we'regonna get rounds per se. But the
way it can be finished is onlyby MMA rules. UM. I think
(04:05):
with Bays or sorry, with RondaRalsi potentially stepping away from WWE to go
back to UFCUM. I think thisis no better There's no better time for
Besler to pick up this win andRALPHSI to put her over um showing how
(04:29):
you know she's Ralph has kind ofmentored Basler and this is the chance for
her to finally go over. Ithink this is a great spot and give
me Shannah Beasler winning the MMA rulesmatch. UM. See here next does
(04:50):
go to Gonter versus Drew McIntyre forthe Intercontinental Championship. UM. For me,
this this is Gunther's first real realchance of losing the title. M
(05:15):
Shamus back at in Cardiff. Ithought there was a chance there, UM,
but I think this is his strongestshot to lose it. Now the
question comes in, is Gunther isso close to breaking the honky tonk Man's
record for the longest reigning ICY champion. So he's so close it's I want
(05:48):
to say, the very beginning ofSeptember, right after Payback. So I
don't know if they get him thisfar, this close to the record and
(06:09):
not give it to him. SummerSlamis full of surprises, but I don't
think they give us one here.I think Goother is going to retain in
some sort of fashion, probably aninterference from Ludwig or Giovanni. They probably
(06:40):
help Goother win, leading to somesort of a tag match at Payback,
and then another singles match at fastLane where we might see Goother drop that
title. Finally, two McIntyre,he will have the record and that's how
you can extend it out that way. So give me Goon third picking up
(07:02):
the win in this match. Ohright, next match, so we're gonna
go over is Ricochet versus Logan PaulUm. I have heard rumors on this
match, possibly one of them wearinga go pro to live stream it.
(07:29):
Um it is I know already streamedthrough Peacock, but I believe they were
wanting to live stream it for itto go viral as far as like a
YouTube video or pull parts off offof it for TikTok, just having to
(07:53):
go viral in that way. I'mnot sure that's what they're going to be
the case that they're gonna do thatdoesn't seem to like the safest to have
somebody wear a camera. But Imean, I feel like we've seen crazier
things in WWWE. So I thinkRicochet really has come a long way in
(08:20):
these last few weeks. His promosare still okay, don't he where he
needs charisma? I get that,but I think he's coming a long way.
And I don't know. I justI Logan Paul hasn't won a match
since last year's Summer Slam, andI think he picks up the wig victory
(08:43):
here he is in need of it. Ricochet can take those loss I don't
feel like Logan Paul can continue totake these losses. So give me Logan
Paul with the W with that bigright hook. Um. Next, we're
(09:09):
gonna go over Oscar versus Charlotte Flairversus Bianca Bellair in a triple threat match
for the w WE Women's Championship.So right off the bat, I'm gonna
(09:30):
say Bianca Belaire does not have achance. I just I don't feel I
don't feel she has a chance.Trying to think here, I feel I'm
not sure exactly how I want thisto go, but I feel like we're
(09:50):
gonna get Charlotte Flair, who picksup the Fluke Fluke wind. Somehow we're
gonna get Flair who picks up thewind, and then we're going to get
EO Sky try to cash in onlyto fail the cash in when I want
to say, when Bailey breaks upthe pen because she's jealous, and then
(10:16):
we get the implosion of damage controland at payback we'll get Bailey versus EO
in a non title match. Thestory, I mean, there's no story
needed for that, it's already builtin. But in that sense, I
could also see EO trying to cashin and shot see breaking breaking it up
(10:41):
out of nowhere. I feel likeeos going to get a failed cash in,
never been done before. I knowit's going to cause controversy because everybody
wants her to successfully cash it in. I just I think we might get
a failed Cashion. Um, Butso I think we're gonna get Flair with
(11:07):
the win and then a failed Cashionand Flair will keep the title until probably
WrestleMania, where she'll probably drop itto Bianca. We haven't really seen a
Bianca versus Flare at a pl oneon one that I can recall. Um
(11:28):
anyway, so that I could definitelysee that. Um So next, let's
move on to Cody Rhodes versus BarrockLessner and yet another just regular old match.
(11:48):
And this is where I start toget a little bit heated. I
mean, what the fuck are wedoing? We're gonna We're gonna do three
matches with these with these guys,and all of them just being straight up
singles matches. I mean, Brockbroke Cody's arm, Brock f five Cody
(12:11):
in front of his mom and thenlaughed at her. But if we're just
doing a straight up match, thismatch screams a damn stipulation and an explanation
as to why the fuck Brock hasever why is the attacking Cody. I
(12:35):
don't understand why there's no stipulation involvedin this match. And I think this
is where we see a return ofsomebody, whether that's Randy Orton or Bray
(13:01):
Wyatt or I don't know, aheel bron breaker. I mean, we
just we don't know. But Ithink this is where we're gonna see somebody
do they screw Cody and that's howCody gets his next feud and they're going
to payback. It's very possible.It's very very possible. I I'm gonna
(13:39):
say it's gonna be Bray. Alot of me doesn't know if we're gonna
see Bray because I still feel likehis mental health may not be there listening
to recent or semi recent interviews withhim. UM, I don't know.
(14:03):
I just I feel like he heonly gets one more comeback, and I
feel like he recognizes that too,and until he's one hundred percent ready and
(14:26):
knowing he's gonna be ready, Idon't know if we see him back.
However, it has been quite sometime. UM, maybe he's got us
headspace right and he's all healed,healthy, ready to go, and we
(14:46):
get an interference, or we gethim attacking Cody, and there we go.
We got our next, our nextfeud for Cody. Give me,
give me, give me Cody Rhodeswith an after the match attack by the
(15:15):
fiend. All right, that waspainful. U two matches left holding um
Seth freaking Rollins versus Finn Balor forthe World Heavyweight Championship, and nobody knows
(15:43):
that where they're going with this.This is the biggest This could be the
biggest toss up match of the night. Give me O, give me,
Finn Balor with the w Now dowe see a priest cashion. I'm gonna
(16:11):
say no, because we're not goingto get both cashions in the same night.
I wouldn't think. I wouldn't thinkbecause if Balor wins, you have
a built in storyline with Priest withthe bank running the bank briefcase, and
you have Balor holding that World Heavyweightchampionship. I feel like they're the built
(16:40):
in storyline that they could go with. However, that would make Priest look
like the bad guy. I know, get a heel but continuing continuing to
tell his brother, his buddy thatno, I'm not going to cash in
(17:03):
on you, only to cash inon them. Who else is gonna cash
cash in on Roman? Probably no? Are you just gonna go with them
against buther? Probably not? Imean US title, but he doesn't want
the US title. Um, youknow what, no, give me Balor
(17:36):
was a priest cashing successful cashing.We got both cashions in the same man
at Summer Slam. I'm not sureit's ever been done before. And then
we get Priest that's the world heavyweightchampion. We get Balor and shock Um
(17:57):
and then we see some moving partswith Judgment Day, we can see people
fall out. We're not sure itwould be Balor or Priest might guess would
be to be balorum because then withJudgment Day they would all have a title
(18:18):
and they would look super strong,even as the three, and they could
pull JD. Madonna in or orwhatever. We may even see him tonight.
We may see him help Priest orattack Finn after the match or who
(18:40):
I don't know. I just wemight see j D at Madonna as well.
Um, So the last match,Roman reigns versus j Usso this is
eight tribal combat match for the undisputedWWE Universal Championship and the recognition of tribal
(19:14):
chief. All Right, this matchis gonna be a really good match.
This match is gonna be topped ofthe charts, cinema, as everybody's saying,
(19:37):
it is anything goes match. Soyou know we're gonna see Jimmy come
back. You know we're gonna seeSolo get involved. Ultimately, you know
you're gonna see Roman walkout as champbecause with what is on the line,
(20:00):
you know, the top chiefs,the heads of the heads, they wear
this, this lay this and thewinner is going to have all that and
j Jay is not that. I'msorry, that's not what Jay is in
that family. Um, and ifJay were to in, you know what
(20:26):
what would be next? I mean, you can't really see him holding that
title for too long because you gotto go up against the likes of you
know, Bobby Lashley carrying Cross,Um, just these monsters that he's not
(20:49):
gonna have a shot against. Idon't feel like it's shamous, there's another
one. Um. I just feellike with Roman there's more to tell.
Their story's not done yet. Westill have the solo versus Roman, you
(21:14):
know, and does does the Rockcome back? That always comes into question,
does the Rock come back? Yeah? Yep, give me the Rock
returning in this match as well.At the very end, At the very
(21:37):
very end, rock Bottom too,Roman, rock Bottom to solo Rock standing
Tall, show goes off the air. Great ending, right, I know.
So that was your Summer Slam predictions. Follow me on Twitter at podcast
underscored WWE UM just a quick rundown. I got l a night in the
(22:00):
Battle Royale, I got Basler winning, I got Gunt retaining Logan, Paul
winning, Roman reigns retains Charlotte Flairretains and EO has a failed cashin.
Finn Balor wins, but only fora Damian Priest to cash in successfully on
Balor. So we'll have Priests asthe new champion and then give me Cody
(22:27):
Rose with a Fiend attack. Somewhere. I think we might see somehow Randy
Orton sprinkled in. Possibly there couldbe a Court Jade. There could be
I guess said brown Breaker. Maybeat Carmelo Hay somewhere. Yeah. One
(22:52):
thing is there's no tag team matches. Not sure if we've ever had a
Summer sim with no tag match doesn'tThat could be wrong And I'm not a
historian by any means or anything,but I feel like we've had a tag
(23:12):
match at everyone so interesting to saythe least. That is all I got
for you. Follow us on Twitter, like I said, um podcast at
podcast, I'm scored. W wbeSorry it's not Twitter, it's X but

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
