New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson is also supposed to be in attendance and having an angle with world heavyweight champion Roman Reigns. Brunson, who has appeared in a WWE ring before, said during the NBA playoffs that he and a trainer acknowledge Reigns before every game.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear, but it appears there\u2019s a chance Brunson could become an honorary Bloodline member. But we\u2019ll see about that.<\/p>\n

The Judgment Day have been upset with Danhausen for several weeks after he took Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh\u2019s money without cursing an opponent for them. Mysterio and McDonagh stole the Knicks jersey<\/a> that was given to Danhausen for “uncursing” them as New York won the NBA championship. The stakes were raised on Monday when it turned into a no disqualification match.<\/p>\n

Prediction: You can\u2019t let Danhausen lose in front of the New York crowd. It will be Danhausen going over McDonagh.<\/p>\n

Paige and Brie Bella have been the WWE women\u2019s tag team champions since WrestleMania 42<\/a>. But their reign may be on the ropes as they take on Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley with the title on the line. Reid and Henley, members of Fatal Influence, have been on a tear since making their main roster debuts. There\u2019s a good chance Reid and Henley will leave New York with the tag belts.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Fatal Influence take the tag team titles.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Valkyria will pick up a huge win over Bayley.<\/p>\n

\u00a0CM Punk and Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther and Sami Zayn \"Gunther, <\/p>\n

The big-ticket match will be a tag team brawl among CM Punk and Cody Rhodes and Gunther and Sami Zayn. Rhodes, Gunther and Zayn have been involved in a major feud for more than a month, which saw Zayn become the undisputed WWE champion at Night of Champions in June. However, his title reign only lasted nine days as Punk made a dramatic return to “Monday Night Raw” and beat Zayn for the title. Punk and Rhodes agreed to a match for the belt at SummerSlam but the competitors could increase for that match based on the result on Saturday night. If Gunther and Zayn win, they will be added into the fracas. It raises the stakes for what should be an interesting tag team match.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Punk and Rhodes work together to fend off Gunther and Zayn.<\/p>\n
