Predictions 

Asuka vs Bianca Belair 

Belair was sidelined by Charlotte Flair when she returned after losing the Raw Women’s Championship to Asuka at the Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. Belair never received a rematch. By avoiding the queue while pushing Asuka straight while announcing the winner of the new WWE Women’s Championship, Flair replaced Belair. At Money in the Bank, Flair was denied the championship after Belair struck Asuka during the match, which led to a disqualification and a fight. 

The following week on SmackDown, the three continued their brawl and were joined by Bayley and IYO, who had come to redeem Asuka’s contract. Belair is rumored to face Asuka in a rematch for the WWE Women’s Championship this week on SmackDown, which she has been patiently waiting for. According to rumors, Charlotte Flair’s intervention will cause this match to be disqualified as well, setting up a triple threat match at SummerSlam.

Brawling Brutes vs Austin Theory & Pretty Deadly 

The United States Championship was up for grabs in a one-on-one battle between Sheamus and Austin Theory last week on SmackDown. Through distraction, Pretty Deadly cost Sheamus the chance to win the title, but Theory exploited it to retain it. Butch and Holland entered the fray after the contest to help Sheamus and provide an equalizer. At the SmackDown this week, there may be a 6-man tag team battle with the Brutes as the odds-on favorite. The conflict between Theory and Sheamus might continue up until SummerSlam as a result.
