[WWE SummerSlam 2013 Prediction] Damien Sandow vs. Cody Rhodes

Damien Sandow vs. Cody Rhodes

                There is no established heel or face in this match.   What’s funny is that, both of these guys are heels right now.   Damien Sandow is carrying on like normal, and he’s always been booked as a heel.  Cody Rhodes, despite splitting up with and being mad at Sandow, has still done some heelish things, or at least nothing to make him seem like a face.

                I do believe that the whole idea of Cody Rhodes being upset at Damien Sandow over the “every man for himself” MITB ladder match just seems like sour grapes.   Now, if Sandow wasn’t in the match and came out and cost Rhodes the match he’d have more grounds to stand on.  But throwing the MITB briefcase in water doesn’t make Cody Rhodes look any better than someone whining and crying when they don’t get their way.

                So aside from breaking up Rhodes Scholars and giving Damien Sandow something to do until he cashes in, does this feud have a point?   I would assume when it’s over that Cody Rhodes is still going to be a heel, as nothing can really pull him out of his slump right now.   It also wouldn’t surprise me to see Rhodes Scholars reunited yet again, but let’s hope not.

                The one fairly crazy scenario I’d like to see play out is going to be my prediction for this match, just because aside from this happening the match won’t really matter.

                I’d like to see the WHC match go on first (It could happen anyway) which would lead to a Christian win somehow.  But before Christian can celebrate his hard fought victory, Damien Sandow cashes in.   Vickie Guerrero (the new Smack Down GM… again) reminds Sandow of his match with Cody Rhodes for later on and informs him that it is now for the WHC. 

                Cody Rhodes would win this match in that storyline, giving him the WHC, and having Damien Sandow, Christian and ADR all with cause to chase the title and seek a rematch.    This would involve the title changing hands thrice in the same night, but hey, it’s almost got less value than the IC Title any way, so I could see WWE doing it.  


                Do I honestly believe Damien Sandow will cash in at Summerslam?  No.   But I do like this idea playing out, so I’m sticking with Cody Rhodes winning and leaving the night as your new World Heavyweight Champion.
