Predictions 

Austin Theory vs Santos Escobar

In a tumultuous Fatal 4-Way Match at the United States Championship Invitational, Santos Escobar defeated Butch, Grayson Waller, and AJ Styles. After that, he challenged his mentor Rey Mysterio of The LWO, but the match was called off due to Mysterio’s injury, giving Escobar the advantage. This tenacious Superstar will now compete against Austin Theory for the US Championship. Escobar defeated the controversial Theory on the July 21 episode of SmackDown, demonstrating his capacity to defeat the vocal Theory.

AJ Styles vs. Killer Kross

Karrion Kross and AJ Styles’ feud is still going strong, and WWE SmackDown will feature their next confrontation on August 11th. The two guys have participated in numerous fierce fights throughout the year, with AJ winning both of his solo matchups. Notably, AJ defeated Kross in under two minutes on the WWE SmackDown programme on July 7.
