Clear The Path and 
Overhand Smash. It can also be used as a follow up after the tiger stun on 72 Transformations. Also used during teamfights to disrupt enemies and secure kills. The damage is moderate. I recommend turning on instant cast for this ability.
Master's Will and The Magic Cudgel. Use it to secure kills.
Tabi is there because movement speed is good, and you want to rush the extra damage and CDR as fast as you possibly can. The 
Hand of the Gods is there for the early game wave clear, and jungle camp securing in case you want to invade or the enemy invades. The 5x of each potion is for your in-lane sustain allowing you to farm more effectively allowing you to snowball ahead of your solo lane opponent.
focused voidbladewitch stone Ninja Tabi over 
Warrior Tabi due to Sun Wukong being very skill reliant, needing them up at all times. Ninja Tabi offers you more use of your most versatile skill, 72 Transformations which in turn allows you to make more escapes or secure more kills.
Voidblade aura.
magi's blessing Breastplate of Valor gives you even more CDR to allow strong versatility in teamfights, while expanding on Sun Wukong's shallow mana pool. It also helps you tank the dominantly AD junglers and strong AD carries such as 
Apollo and 
Neith. Sovereignty makes the list due to its defensive aura giving your team more stick power in teamfights combined with witch stone. It's a solid defensive choice if your tank is not picking it up. Runic Shield offers you the option to survive the major burst damage magic gods tend to have while keeping an offensive edge with the physical power buff. It's an overall solid pick up for Sun Wukong. Bulwark of Hope the life saver. The passive of Bulwark will save you so many times you'll love it. It makes really clutch escapes and mitigates a lot of damage in teamfights. It also gives a strong magical defense boost. Great pick up in the mid-late stages of the game.
Undefeated Body.
Jotunn's Wrath is not picked up because it gives no defenses on itself. If you need the extra cooldown reduction just go for Breastplate of Valor. It'll give you more tankiness and cooldown reduction. Breastplate of Valor also gives more mana to keep you in fights longer. Deathbringer due to the fact that it doesn't help you absorb more damage from the enemy team. By no means is it a bad item, you can pick it up as a 6th item for some extra damage, but I prefer building more defense to stick in fights, and secure objectives by tanking them for your team. You can also tank towers for late game dives for your team too if you get defense items. Malice is avoided for reasons stated above.
Hand of the Gods. But what do you get for your second? It all depends on the current state of the game and what you need the most. You get to pick one active so choose wisely.
Somersault Cloud and more crowd control with Master's Will and 72 Transformations. Pick this up if the enemy team is CC heavy or has an 
Ares.
Aegis Amulet is a strong choice if you're behind or underfarmed. It allows you to bypass bursty team comps and lets you reduce your cooldowns by 2 seconds. You can stall our for a 72 Transformations or Somersault Cloud to extend your life. I recommend picking this up when behind or if your enemy team is incredibly bursty.
Hel and 
Chang'e. It'll greatly reduce their teamfight capability while at the same time slowing down your opponent.
Chronos, 
Anhur and 
Freya.
Hand of the Gods you can secure objectives easily.
The Magic Cudgel to poke down the wave and basic them down. Use Hand of the Gods on the archer minions whenever you can. Use The Magic Cudgel to occasionally poke down the enemy solo laner. If the enemy solo laner is out of position, and poked enough use a 72 Transformations tiger into a Master's Will right into The Magic Cudgel to deal massive damage and potentially secure a kill. Somersault Cloud to regen health so you can stay in lane. Do it so you can get more farmed.
Undefeated Body and your core items. Just continue farming your lane trying to take the enemy first tier tower. Rotate whenever you can to secure a kill or take a buff camp. Once the first tower goes down feel free to roam across the map.
Somersault Cloud, Master's Will or 72 Transformations ox or tiger form. Using somersault cloud you enter the teamfight from behind and start channeling your ult while out of vision. Your decoy will jump in while you wait above. At this point your team should be going in. After a couple seconds go right down and start wreaking havoc with Master's Will and 72 Transformations with The Magic Cudgel used to do damage. If in trouble to disengage use 72 Transformations bird form. Master's Will is pretty straight forward. Just walk in and knock everyone around, and hope your team goes in.
Driving Strike. Slowly poke him down to waste his mana on 
Mitigate Wounds. Just play overall careful and attempt to outfarm him.
Hel is no different. Just clear the wave with The Magic Cudgel, be sure to also poke Hel down at the same time if you can. When the opportunity arises use your 72 Transformations tiger form to get in a stun and attempt to secure the kill.
Chang'e down due to her strong heal. Wait for your jungler to come around to attempt to burst her down to secure the kill. Also be aware of her jungler due to 
Waxing Moon. A Waxing Moon followed by the jungler's combo will bring you low or kill you depending on your health.
The Magic Cudgel at an angle to hit the entire wave and him while at the same time avoiding his 
Fearless. If he uses Fearless to clear the wave early on use Hand of the Gods to clear his wave followed by 72 Transformations tiger form to stun him into your minions. Following this up with Master's Will and The Magic Cudgel will most likely secure the kill.
The Magic Cudgel and securing the kill with 72 Transformations. Walking in a random pattern also helps you to avoid 
Searing Pain and 
Celestial Beam.
72 Transformations to get away as the jungler is most likely around the corner.
The Magic Cudgel, try to poke him in the process. When he uses 
Expose Evil and moves to the side of the lane follow him with Master's Will and a quick 72 Transformations ox or tiger form. Tiger form preferred. Make sure to do all this before he gets his 
Exorcism off. If you did it correctly he should not be able to harvest any souls because you delayed him, and the cards expired. Continue this so he cannot grab any souls for himself, or his soul gain will be very slow. Also be careful when using 72 Transformations, his 
Book of Demons can be used to stun you right out of it. Be sure to be very close to him when transforming so he cannot react in time. When he uses 
Recall Demons just fly away using 72 Transformations

Your BB Coding is quite good. The guide is layed out quite nicely.
In your match-ups sections, just saying that the counters are "annoying" is insufficient. Why are they counters to SWK? Make that known.
I haven't played him too much so I am not certain on the build. It seems viable from what I can think of, though.
Other than that, this guide looks pretty good. Very good job here and a +1 from me.
I'll add those...eventually
err sure?
I'll test it
I'll test it
Other items you could throw in situationally would be Voidblade, Witch Stone, Jotunn's, Bulwark of Hope, Hide of the Urchin(?), Mail of Renewal, etc.
Some quick math with Ninja Tabi/Ankh/DB/MoR/EoR/Voidblade put him at 263 protections under 50% HP. Which means he'll get 25-49 power from EoR and 40 from Ankh, putting you at over 300 power with 40 armor pen and 50% crit with DB passive.
Basically think of him as a Hercules with armor instead of health, and more sustained damage?
All in all I guess I'm just wondering your opinion on Mail of Renewal and Ankh of the Bear on him.
Also, please make a note of the Teleport Active in your guide.
I'm still working on the match up's section. The thing is I have to face them first to get a good understanding of the match up.
Yeah, I'll do that
1. You talk a lot about the items that you do recommend, but I read little to nothing about items that you don't. You should add s "Don't pick up these" section or something and give reasons as to why you think Asi, Winged Wand, Stone of Gaia, Mystical Mark, Titan's Bane, Hydra's Lament, Eye of Retaliation and other popular solo items are a bad choice. I personally think Eye of Retaliation, Jotunn's Wrath and Deathbringer are all fairly core on him simply because they synergize so very well with his passive and role. I'd like to hear your reasons for not including those items anywhere in the build.
2. You could add a few more lane enemies, such as Loki, Chronos, Anubis, Guan Yu, Hades, Mercury, Odin, and Zhong Kui.
3. There are a few errors here and there in terms of spelling/grammar, go through it fine a fine tooth comb to weed them all out. The most jarring one for me was the semi-colon in the first paragraph, that needs to be a comma. Or better yet, change the sentence to "Sun Wukong is a major threat in the solo lane with his amazing poke potential and kill potential."
That's about it, I +1'd but I'd love to see these changes, especially the item one. It blows my mind that you don't even mention Jotunn's Wrath and Deathbringer. Eye of Retaliation I can understand because it's underrated, but it really is amazingly synergistic on Wukong.
