2024 Money in the Bank (Predictions)

 

This years Money in the Bank takes place in Toronto, Canada.  Will Sami win in his hometown or will he be broken by Bron Breakker?  Who will win their MITB ladder matches?  Will the Bloodline dominate or be left bleeding?  These are just some if the questions I hope to answer in this post.  Lets get started.

***********************************************************************************

2024 Men's Money in the Bank Match

     Who will win the Men's Money in the Bank?  The possibilities are endless.  I believe this match will have the most interruptions. There 3, possibly 4 men who could get their minds distracted from outside sources.  Chad and Jey could have interferences from the Wyatt Sicks6, where as Logan Paul could make LA Knight's grasp for glory end in failure.  CM Punk could always mess with Drew for a third time.  The Bloodline could also arrive to mess with Jey.  If that happens, I see Jey helping Cody RKO beat the Bloodline later during the PLE.  So, that leaves Carmelo and Andrade to battle it out for the win.  I would love to see Andrade pull off the win but something in my gut tells me it will be Drew for the win. Which could lead to Punk getting his hands on a title in the near future.

Winner: Drew McIntyre

***********************************************************************************

2024 Women's Money in the Bank Match

     After watching Smackdown, all I can say this can be anyone's moment.  I personally want Chelsea or Tiffany to walk away with the win.  Naomi and Iyo have had their title runs but the other ladies have yet to have their championship moment.  Sure some have been nXt champions or Tag Champs, but it is not the same. Zoey may have to worry about Trish, since we know she is going to be there and they didn't exactly end their partnership in the best manner. Nia may try to help Tiffany and Piper may do the same for Chelsea, so that can factor into a lot of scenarios.  I think Damage CTRL may try to help Iyo but that will cost her the match, in my opinion.  At t he end of this battle, it may just end up being Tiffany Time.

Winner: Tiffany Stratton

***********************************************************************************

The Bloodline Vs Team Cody RKO

     This is going to be a battle suitable for a War Games match.  The Bloodline has the deck stacked 4:3 with more members being whispered to arrive.  Could the new members make their presence known at Money in the Bank?  Does Cody have a trick up his sleeve?  Will Jey help his old tag team partner?  So many possibilities!!!  When the dust is clear, you will know a battle has been fought, but the War has just begun.

Winner: the Bloodline

***********************************************************************************

World Heavyweight Championship Match

 Damian Priest Vs. Seth "Freakin" Rollins

     Seth wants his Championship back but Damian isn't ready to lose.  This will be a battle but a battle that Seth can win.  Damian used his MITB to get this title during the aftermath of Seth Vs Drew.  So there is an argument that Priest may not be able to defeat a healthy Rollins. I think he can, but I think jealousy might be his downfall.  Tensions have been high in the Judgement Day and that could hurt Priest in the long run.  Who knows, Balor may come  out to help and cost Priest the match instead.  You just never know.  Something tells me that Priest will come out with the win, no matter the cost.

Winner: Damian Priest

***********************************************************************************

Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn Vs. Bron Breakker

     This is the match that I want to see the most.  Hometown hero Sami may have bitten  a little more than he can choose by accepting a match with Bron.  Bron is on an impressive winning streak that I do not see Sami ending.  The only way I see Sami winning is by a DQ.  Since he is the champion, he could win simply by getting counted out and walking away the champ.  So Sami has options, but if he wants to fight...he's got it. Bron wants to "break" Sami and become champ and it could happen at Money in the Bank.

Winner and New Intercontinental Champ, Bron Breakker

My Predictions: WWE Fastlane (2023)

This year's Fastlane PPV promises to be a great show.  

Each match is a Banger!  

Let's see how my predictions will fair today.

First, we have the LWO Vs Lashley and the Street Profits.  This promises to be a good match but injuries have plagued the LWO.  Who did Rey call exactly to help them out?  Was it Carlito? Chavo? Dragon Lee?. Whoever Rey gets will provide an entertaining match that much I am sure of but I think the newly formed Hurt Business will be too much to handle.

Winner: Hurt Business 2.0

Next, we have a women's triple threat match for the women's championship.  I believe that Damage Control will try to help Iyo keep her belt, but that could hurt her in the long run.  I believe Asuka should win the match, but I am loyal to the Empress so I am kind of biased.  Don't be surprised if Kairi Sane shows up to offer her support.  Who knows, even jade Cargill might appear and make her presence known.  This will be an entertaining match, but I think the odds are in Iyo's favor.

Winner:  Iyo Sky

The third match I would like to discuss is the match up for the Heavyweight Championship.  Rollins Vs Nakamura has been the Feud that the WWE has needed for a long time. They work well together and this new version of Nakamura is refreshing. They are allowing Shinsuke to finally be the talent that he always has been. The WWE universe is starting to get the taste of what it was to be a Nakamura fan in his New Japan glory days.  I hope Nakamura gets the win, nothing against Rollins mind you.  It's just that they have overlooked Nakamura on too many occasions since he was brought up from nXt. Oh, this will be a battle but I think Shinsuke needs to win tonight because this might be the last chance he gets while Rollins holds the title.

Winner: Nakamura

Now we shall take a look at the Bloodline Vs Cena & LA Knight. We all know that the Bloodline is spreading themselves thin by getting into situations they shouldn't.  I mean, the Tribal Chief takes a well deserved break and he cannot enjoy it because Jimmy is acting like he is the right hand.   Well, Jimmy, the right hand of the tribal chief  was and will always be Main Event Jey Uso.  So, you let your actions get in some heat with Styles, Knight and Cena.  Okay, so they took care of Styles for the moment but they still have a momentum train heading their way.  If the Bloodline win, it will be due to some outside help from the  Judgement Day or maybe the Tribal Chief himself.  All I know is, this feud will not end at Fastlane. Expect this feud to carry on to Survivor Series.

Winner: the Team of LA Knight & John Cena

Our final match is for the Tag Titles.  We have the Judgement Day Vs the team of Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. Jey and Cody have been tag champs before, but as a team they don't have the history that Finn and Priest have.  Plus, they don't have the numbers. So, I expect some great action but I also expect the other members of the judgement day to get involved.  If Rhea gets involved, look for Jade to come out and shoot her shot.  Not only would she be helping Cody, but she would launch herself to the number one contender spot for the Women's championship.  I am looking forward to this clash of champions, but I already know my boys from the Judgement Day will walk out on top.

Winner: the Judgement Day

2023 Payback Picks

 

Live from Pittsburgh, PA is the pay-per-view that many have been waiting for.  Will Judgement Day rule supreme or will they fall flat and begin to split?  Who knows?  What I know is I have little time so let's do my predictions while in Sudden Death Mode.

Cody Rhodes will make an appearance on the Waller Effect.  Why the hell is this PPV worthy?  The only time they have "Talk Shows" on PPVs is to have an unsanctioned match.  With t hat said, Waller will try to get the drop on Cody only to be dropped instead.

Winner: Cody "the American Nightmare" Rhodes

Austin Theory will finally get his rematch for the United States Championship.  This one is hard to call in my opinion.  I mean, I could see positive stories coming from both men no matter the victor.  I personally think they have big plans for Theory and in order to do so, I think he needs to lose tonight's match.  

Winner: and still the US Champion, Rey Mysterio

I like to call the next match-up the battle of the egos or simply, Ego vs Ego.  I am actually a fan of both of these superstars, but I am more faithful to LA Knight...Yeah!  He is on a roll and a loss to Miz could cause a temporary roadblock.  I totally believe that tonight is LA Knight's night.

Winner: LA Knight......Yeah!

The following match-up could possibly be the match of the night.  We all love Trish and we all love Becky.  The fact that they are fighting in a Steel Cage has to make you feel like it might finally be Trish who comes out on top.  Sure Becky has been in Cage match before, but this isn't Trish's first rodeo. Needless to say, they ways Trish could cheat to win are endless.

Winner: Trish Stratus (with a little help from her friends)

The Undisputed Tag Titles are on the line in our next match-up.  Can Finn and Priest put aside their differences to act as a Unit?  Is Kevin 100% and injury free?  These are the questions that "wrestle" in my brain to see who I am picking for this bout.  I like what the Judgement Day is doing and I have been a fan of Fin since Day 1.  However, I am a Kevin Owens fan as well so my heart is torn.  I do think this will be one hell of a match, but I do not think the belts will change hands.

Winners: and still the Undisputed Tag Champions, Owens and Zayn

Judgement Day match #2 is for the Women's championship. Rhea looks to dominate Raquel and walk out of Payback unharmed.  Well, I think she may be mistaken.  Rodriguez is going to give Ripley a run for her money.  In the end, I think Raquel will have a dominate showing, but Rhea will get the win.

Winner: and still the Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley

Welcome to Saturday Night Rollins!  If anyone can take Rollins championship, it would be Shinsuke.  If Rollins' back is as hurt as Nakamura claims, then it is going to be a long night for the champ.  I was thinking that Shinsuke could actually pull a victory over Seth but something I read a few moments ago troubles me.  It was announced that the Great Muta will be at the PPV.  Of course, one would assume he would be in Nakamura's corner.  But what if the Architect has put a plan together?  Either way it will be a great match, but I fear the outcome will be decided by Muta's interference.

Winner: and still your Heavyweight Champion, Seth "Freakin" Rollins

Elimination Chamber Predictions

I am not going to make my usual predictions for all the matches like I have in the past.  I want to focus on the two matches in which the pay-per-view is named for.  

First, let's discuss the men's elimination chamber match.  This match is for the US Title and not one of the championships being held by the tribal chief.  With that said, I believe that Theory will lose the title yet again.  That will open up the possibility of a Theory Vs Cena match for Mania.  The best candidates I think comedown to two men; those men are Montez Ford and Johnny Gargano.  I love the Street Profits and Montez Ford deserves more gold, but I think the best play would be to have Johnny Gargano beat Austin Theory and show him "the Way" out of his championship.

My Prediction: Johnny Gargano walks away with the W.

Now, let's discuss the #1 contender for the RAW Women's Championship elimination chamber match.  There are 5 former champions as well as 2 former NXT champions in this mix.   That's a lot of gold as well as a lot of experience.  Everyone in this match knows what it is like to hold gold, so the question is who is the hungriest?  When all is said and done, I think the rebirth of Asuka will be too much for the remaining ladies to control.

My Prediction:  No one will be ready for Asuka and she walks away with the win.

In references to the other matches, I think they will be good but I just wanted to share my picks on the Chamber matches themselves.

My Predictions: Wrestlemania Backlash 2022

 

Well, it's that time a year again, time to handle some unfinished business  from Wrestlemania. Will the victors remain the same?  Will scores be settled?  Will new alliances be made?  Who knows?  But here are my predictions for the matches slated to take place Sunday  May 8, at Backlash 2022.

Bobby "the Almighty" Lashley Vs Omos

I personally have no interest in this match because I have no interest in Omos.  Omos has not shown me athletic talent.  He just relies on being big and taken advantage of smaller wrestlers by doing so.  Well, the Almighty will show Omos that he is not as all powerful as he would like to think.  The only way I see Omos walking away with a victory is if MVP gets involved.

Winner: Bobby Lashley (If a fair fight)

Happy Corbin Vs Madcap Moss

Here is another match I do not care for.  WWE creative took two great wrestlers or sports entertainers, and made them a punchline to their own jokes.  The only good thing that might come out of this match is that they let Moss get away from the Madcap gimmick after he beats Happy.

Winner: Madcap Moss 

the Bloodline Vs RKBro and McIntyre

This match should actually be two matches.  As a six-man tag match, that means no belts change hands.  This was the best way the writers could avoid the tag titles from being unified. Hopefully this will start a feud that will eventually lead to the Universal Championship and the World Championship from being Unified.  Each brand should have their own belt. As much as I respect RKO, I like what the Bloodline has done more.

Winners: the Bloodline

the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes Vs Seth Rollins

Seth wants to win and prove that Cody only won at Wrestlemania because Seth didn't know his opponent.  He feels embarrassed to have lost to someone who  he has beaten in the past on more than one occasion.  What Seth fails to realize is that this is not the same Cody Rhodes he has fought in the past.  This is the American Nightmare, who has proven time and time again that he is worthy to be in the main event.

Winner: the American Nightmare

I also predict that we will see Seth loose it and take some time to regroup and come up with a new course of action.

SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey (“I Quit” Match)

I am really looking forward to this match. Because it is an “I Quit” Match, most people are thinking Ronda should have it in the bag.  What those people forget is that the Queen can make you tap or submit just as quick.  I believe this will be a battle of the ages.  But I also believe the Queen will not lose her crown.

Winner: and still the Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair.

AJ Styles Vs Edge

Edge is trying to reform the Brood while AJ remains Phenomenal.  This match has the promise to be the match of the night, hell it might be a contender for match of the year.  We all know Edge is good and that AJ is Phenomenal, so this match should be great.  And since Priest is barred, you would think it would be a fair fight but the new Edge likes to play dirty so I wouldn't be surprised if he has a few tricks up his sleeve.  Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if someone AJ respects may just be the factor that costs him the match.  Only time will tell.  I still think AJ will win, but it could end with a DQ.

Winner: AJ Styles

Hell in a Cell (2021) - Predictions

 

Today is Father's Day for the year 2021, but it is also Hell in a Cell.  Now that I have done my Father's Day duties, it is time to tell you my predictions for tonight's pay-per-view.  Since, the PPV takes place two hours from now, let's get started so we can all enjoy the show.

Smackdown Women's Championship Match (Hell in a Cell Match)

Bianca Belair (Champion) Vs. Bayley

This match up has all the makings of a classic battle.  Easily the top two women on the WWE roster will do battle in a steel cage for the championship.  Bianca is tough, but Bayley is ruthless and the cage will benefit her style greatly.  Ding Dong, Hello!  Bayley becomes the new champ.

Winner: Bayley

Alexa Bliss vs. Shayna Baszler

There may not be a title on the line, but this will be a fight none the less.  If this was a normal encounter, Shayna would win hands down. Since Alexa has a few tricks up her sleeve, this will be a challenge that maybe Baszler will not be ready for.

Winner: Alexa Bliss

Cesaro vs. Seth Rollins

Cesaro is constantly a pain in Seth's side.  No one really knows why Ceasaro's obsession with Seth is nonstop, but the night favors Rollins to put an end to it.

Winner: Seth "Frigging" Rollins

Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn

You would think Sami learned his lesson about getting in KO's business. Well as we saw on Smackdown, nothing is further from the truth.  When I think Owens, I think Fight and that is exactly what will go down at Hell in a Cell.

Winner: Kevin Owens

RAW Women's Championship Match

Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair

Both women are talented.  Both women have egos to go along with the talent.  There is one thing that the Queen has over the Nightmare that will led to her success...EXPERIENCE.  Don't get me wrong, it will be a battle well fought, but the Queen will be victorious once again.

Winner: Charlotte Flair

WWE Championship (Hell in a Cell Match)

Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre

I am so sick and tired of all the chances that McIntyre has gotten for the WWE Championship.  Enough is Enough!  I look forward to Lashley putting Drew down once and for all so we can see someone else challenge for the belt.  The Cell can really benefit both wrestlers, but the All Mighty should come out on top.

Winner: the All Mighty Bobby Lashley

An Open Letter to the WWE

 

Greetings Wrestling Fans,

    I am writing this post in regards to the 10 superstars  that the WWE let go on Thursday, April 15, 2021. Those superstars include: Billie Kay, Samoa Joe, Bo Dallas, Kalisto, Wesley Blake, Mickie James, Chelsea Green, Tucker, Peyton Royce, and Mojo Rawley.  What sense does this make?  Hell, two of them worked Wrestlemania before being let go.  This doesn't make sense to me.  I took 48 hours to think about it and I have come up with an open letter to the WWE.  You may not agree with me and that is perfectly fine, but I feel this needs to be said.

Dear WWE,

For the past two years you have let go of talent in the name of budget cuts.  Well, you have made the wrong cuts in my opinion.  You should have made the cuts in the writing departments as well as in production.  You need writers who have the same passion as the talent and not someone from Hollywood who has no experience in wrestling besides watching it on TV.  You need a writer who eats, breathes, and lives for wrestling.  You fired the talent because you benched them or didn't know how to use them.  That is on you, not them.  Why do you think AEW is doing so well?  The writers listen to the talent's ideas.

You need to listen to your talent.  Hell, Peyton Royce had to demand her shot at the women's title on live TV before you gave it to her.  Why was that?  She should have been champion already.  I know the why.  You want to make sure that your favorites are taken care of. That is why there are so many multi-champions rather than a lot of champions.  Samoa Joe should have been Universal Champion long ago, but you ruined that as well.

As a fan I can tell you, we are tired of the same talent winning over and over or fighting each other for months. Hell, what happen to the days of the stables and have each member fighting instead of one or two.  Oh wait, that something that AEW is doing.  Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Drew, Roman, AJ, and multiple others; just give someone else a chance at a title.  You have enough talent so why do you focus on the few?

If you believe you don't have enough titles to share, create some or bring some of the old titles back.  There is no reason for anyone to sit backstage for months and months.  Someone gets injured, they could be in someone's corner or take the MVP approach and create a faction or stable.  For an example, if I was one of your writers, I would have had Samoa Joe create his own Samoan stable.  When Joe would be clear to wrestle, I would push the story even more and have him wipe the table with Reigns to become the new "Tribal" Chief and Universal Champion. I know more details and planning is involved but you have the talent.  So USE it and don't lose it.

Your problem is not the value of your wrestlers.  You have so many great wrestlers that you bench because you value the words of the wrong person.  If you have to make cuts, fire the people who have been writing this trash for the past three years instead of the talent who is getting ring rust because your writers don't know what to do.  If you are afraid to fire the writers, then fire the directors and producers who cannot make your talent look good.  The talent isn't the problem, the writing is the problem.

I truly hope someone in your organization reads this letter and reflects on it a little.  Hell, I would love for Vince, Steph, Shane ,or HHH to hear what I am saying.  The first step to fixing the problem is knowing what the problem is.  Like I said before, the talent is not the problem, your writing is the problem.

Sincerely,

A Fan

Derf's Picks - 2021 Royal Rumble

 

    Before I share my picks for the 2021 Royal Rumble, I just want to thank Pat Patterson for creating this annual event.  Pat Patterson was a GENIUS!  Thank you Pat for all the past, present, and future Rumbles that we all love and enjoy.

    Now, down to business.  This year's Rumble promises to be one of the greatest of all times.  What will happen?  Who knows?  but that is what makes the Rumble so much fun. Let's start with the booked matches before we get to the Rumbles themselves.

• WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Charlotte Flair & Asuka vs. Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax

        It's no secret that the team of Jax and Baszler want their titles back but they will have a fight to get them.  The Queen and the Empress are a powerhouse team and that is why they are tag champions.  Nia will try to win by force and Shayna will try to be a submission machine but Flair and Asuka are just too much too handle.  The only way I see Asuka or Flair losing is if they turn on each other. Though I doubt that will happen, it would make a good WrestleMania story.

Winners: Asuka and Charlotte Flair

• SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks vs. Carmella

        Carmella has clashed with Sasha to try to get the Smackdown Women's Championship for months.  Carmella is a talented  wrestler and former champion but I feel the Boss is just too much to handle. I feel this will be a battle and Carmella may try to cheat to win but I think Sasha has her number and will walk out the champion.

Winner:  Sasha Banks

• WWE Champion Drew McIntyre vs. Goldberg

        In my opinion this match should have never been made.  Goldberg is under contract, true, but he shouldn't get a title shot.  Sheamus or Keith Lee deserve a shot not Bill.  Don't get me wrong, I was a Goldberg fan back in the day, but the WWE needs to stop bringing blasts from the past to contend for titles.  The roster is too talented and too many people are overlooked.  I am sure WWE creative has made plans for Goldberg to win but my faith is in the chosen one to pull through this battle and remain champion.

Winner: Drew McIntyre

• Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens (Last Man Standing Match)

        I am not going to lie, this is the match I am looking forward to.  Kevin Owens is the perfect nemesis to the Head of the Table, Roman Reigns.  I feel that Owens will pull out the win in this match. I also feel this will be a blood  bath.  Both men hate each other and will use that hate to destroy.  This will be a fight and that is why I feel Owens will win.  However, his victory will be cut short when the tribal chief finds a way to win the Rumble to challenge Owens for his title.

Winner:  Kevin Owens

• Men's Royal Rumble Match

        The Men's Royal Rumble is going to be interesting this year.  First of all, we have Edge and Orton as the first two entrants so that in itself should be interesting.  However, it's the entrants we don't know about that may fuel the fire.  With the Fiend not being seen in some time, I look for his return.  Hell, we may see Wyatt more than once like we saw Mick Foley do back in '98.  We could see the Eater of Worlds, Firefly Funhouse, and Fiend personas of Wyatt in one match.  Who will win, who knows.  So, for this match I am going to pick a surprise entrant who will dominate.  This surprise entrant is someone I want to see back in action and take the WWE  by storm and challenge the Head of the Table Romain reigns.

My Pick: Samoa Joe

• Women's Royal Rumble Match

        There is a lot of buzz surrounding this year's women's rumble match.  One buzz is that we may see Rousey again or even Lynch.  Anything's possible but I don't think it will be a factor.  We may see Trish, Lita, or even Mickie as a n entrant but I think the story will revolve around the Queen and the EST.  I think the final three ladies will be Charlotte, Rhea, and Bianca.  Charlotte will come close to victory but Ripley will take that away from her just like the Queen took victory away from her at WrestleMania.  I also feel in the confusion that Bianca will take advantage and get the win.

My Pick: Bianca, the EST for the win.

Saturday Showcase: El Fuerte

El Fuerte

    I am a huge fan of the Up Up Down Down  YouTube channel presented by Xavier Woods from the NEW DAY!!! and WWE.  Anyway, I was binge watching Miz and Mrs. and they were having a Street Fighter tournament.  Well, being the gamer that I am, I decided to get out my copy of Street Fighter IV and just have some fun.  Well, today I decided to play as characters I never played as before and I picked El Fuerte.  I immediately fell in love with the character and I know who I will play as from now on.  If El Fuerte is available, then he is my guy that will lead me to victory. 

    I was playing Street Fighter today and I thought to myself that El Fuerte will make a great post for my Saturday Showcase and here we are.  Let's dive in and dig up some more on this talented luchador.

El Fuerte Vs Rufus

    El Fuerte is a video game character from the Street Fighter series, first appearing in Street Fighter IV. He is a Mexican luchador and chef, traveling the world in an effort to perfect his lucha libre skills and hone his cooking abilities.

    El Fuerte is a short, but very muscular, Mexican man. He dresses in typical luchador uniform with black elbow pads on his arms and a gold sash on his waist. He wears short, white tights buttoned up to his thighs, with three blue stars on his rear. El Fuerte also wears white, laced, wrestling boots with golden soles. His mask follows the pattern of the rest of his outfit, being white with gold trim and having three blue stars on his forehead.

Rainbow Mika and El Fuerte

    El Fuerte is a hyper, easily excitable fighter who constantly thinks out loud about new recipes even during a fight. Maybe that is why I like him so much.  He frequently seeks inspiration from other fighters he meets because of their various origins across the globe, much to the annoyance of some, but to the amusement of others. His cooking has mixed results. In the games, he frequently whips up unusual combinations after becoming overexcited from all the ingredients he gathered while abroad.

    Hopefully, he will continue to be a mainstay in the world of Street Fighter, that way I will always have my favorite character to kick ass with!  This has been my Saturday Showcase post for the week.  I hope you enjoyed this article.

Until next time, get your GAME on!

Victory Dance

Hell in a Cell: My Picks

    This year's Hell in A Cell promises to be a festival of horrors with the Fiend Vs Seth Rollins.  For some reason, there is only 4 matches on the card at this moment.  I am sure more will be added later and if that is the case, I will add my pucks for them as well.  Let's just start off with what we do know.

Smackdown Live's Women's Championship Match

Bayley Vs Charlotte Flair

    Charlotte has earned the right to battle against Bayley for her Women's title.  In a fair fight, I give this match to the Queen, however I look for the Boss to interfere.  Of course, if Sasha wrestles first, she won't be able to help her friend because the Man will leave her beaten and bruised.  Either way, I feel Charlotte will come out with the "W", but will the belt change hands is yet to be seen.

Team Roman Vs Team Rowan

Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan Vs Eric Rowan and Luke Harper

    Roman wants revenge for the attacks backstage.  Daniel wants retribution for being made to look like a fool.  Rowan and Harper just want to "bludgeon" everyone who doubts them.  If this was a battle of brute force Team Rowan would win hands down.  With that said, Team Roman has a good chance of winning with Daniel's in ring skills alone.  It would not surprise me if this match is filled with all kinds of brutality and trickery, but I feel Roman and Daniel will get what they want in the end.

Raw Women's Championship Match

the Man Vs the Boss

    Sasha came back and feels that Blue has made her better than ever,  Well, Becky aka the Man is going to make her wish Blue wasn't her color. By the end of the night, Sasha is going to be black and blue all over from the beating the Man has in store.  The only way Sasha will get the upper hand is if she gets help but even then the MAN will still walk out the CHAMP.

Universal Championship Match

Bray"the Fiend" Wyatt Vs Seth "the Beastslayer" Rollins

    The Fiend has his mind set on revenge, but is the Fiend after the title or just wants to put a hurting on the Beastslayer.  You see, the Fiend never forgives and Seth and Bray have clashed many times before and most of them were just battles and not title opportunities.  With that said, I feel the Fiend may overdue the violence and make it almost impossible to get the title.  I also look for others that the fiend has attacked to try to get involved in this match-up.  If all goes according to plan, you would think the Fiend will come out on top but I am sure the Architect may have some plans of his own to keep the title.  In this match, I believe both will walk away winners.  I think Seth will remain champ, however, I feel the Fiend will get his pound of flesh to satisfy his thirst for blood lust.
