WWE: SummerSlam Predictions
WWE SummerSlam 2014: Last-Minute Predictions for Matches at PPV
Things are going to heat up this Sunday at SummerSlam, which features the most stacked card in months.
Will Roman Reigns defeat Randy Orton and take the next step to WWE stardom? Will the WWE title change hands? Will it belong to Seth Rollins or Brock Lesnar at the end of the night?
There's less than a week until WWE SummerSlam 2014, and the WWE Superstar Power Rankings are very much in flux. As we approach one of the most important pay-per-view events on the pro wrestling calendar, what will the go-home week hold for those in the top 10?
This past week, there were surprising losses, a champion returned to action and a cosmic journey began. We'll get into all that and then some in the following slides. Before we do, though, please read how these rankings work.
Holding a championship, being a No. 1 contender or holding a Money in the Bank briefcase counts for much of a wrestler's ranking, and they are therefore the most heavily weighted components in these rankings. If a wrestler is tied with another wrestler, holding a title will be a tiebreaker.
Wins and losses account for the bulk of the week-to-week movement—wins and losses are, after championships, the most important component of the rankings. The quality of a wrestler's opponents and whether they are ranked is considered in the week-to-week movement.
"Getting the better" of someone—like beating someone down—as well as "getting got" also counts, though not as much as wins and losses. Being "over" with the fans is considered but not heavily weighted in the ranking decisions. Pay-per-view performances take on added importance.
Only the top 10 wrestlers are ranked. Wrestlers on the Watch List were considered for top-10 status but were ultimately nixed. They are unranked, and their listing is in no particular order.
Generally speaking, these rankings do not break kayfabe, though any major non-storyline information (serious injury, WWE Wellness Policy violations, legitimate hirings, firings, contract information, "sabbaticals," etc.) may be taken into consideration, especially if WWE confirms them publicly. Nothing that could be explicitly considered a spoiler is included unless WWE acknowledges it as well.
