Tag Title Match: Picking the Usos here. Going over with a stinkface.

Battle Royal: Logically, there's two options here: one is having Miz and Mizdow in the final two and Mizdow wins, finally getting revenge, and the other is to have Itami go over. I can't imagine Sheamus' involvement will be on the preshow after 81 months of promos hyping his reveal, so if he is here, he'll be doing something on the actual show (which has me scared to death about the ladder match). I'm feeling Itami here, giving me those Yoshi Tatsu vibes.

Rusev vs. John Cena: Color me surprised that there is no gimmick here, which seems to go against wrasslin booking 101. Clearly, they're planning for the real blow off of this feud to be at Extreme Rules, which means rematch clause yadda yadda. John Cena then, now, forever.

Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins: This feels like the match with the most potential that will consequently get cut short because of reasons. Seth is still Mr. MITB, I don't know if he's going to cash in tonight, tomorrow, or lose when he cashes in, but someone mentioned that having him lose here sets up an opponent for his title reign. Makes sense, it's classic WWE booking, so I'll go with Orton for the win.

IC Title Ladder Match: Please for the love of God, do not let Sheamus interfere here. Not to screw Bryan, not to help Bryan, not to do a damn thing. And please Bryan, don't take every bump in the world just because you think your neck is 100%. Even if it is, you're going to give me a heart attack. That said, nothing really makes sense other than a Bryan victory here. As mentioned above, WWE booking likes to have you lose to set up opponents, and Ziggler has beaten Bryan twice, so there you go.

Divas Match: I'm curious to see how this one goes. #GiveDivasAChance seems to actually be doing something to WWE's booking for women's matches, so hopefully a solid match can be produced here and not an overbooked mess. AJ and Paige are my picks.

Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt: I hope those pictures of the Undertaker aren't misleading, because after last year, I desperately need to see the deadman not look so fucking old. Unless he's an even worse shape than WM 30, I don't see Bray winning here. They're absolutely going to set up Taker/Sting tomorrow, so Undertaker will get the win here. 22-1 may seem weird, but it won't be as weird as seeing Bray and Taker entrances in broad daylight.

Sting vs Triple H: The no brainer would be the stinger, but something about the build really bothers me here. Sting has not once looked ridiculously strong, to a degree that is beyond anyone else. He even stopped the Steph slap! If I wasn't convinced they're doing Taker/Sting next year, I could totally see Triple H get the swerve victory here. But I've gotta go with Sting because they are, hopefully after a hilarious Bat vs. Sledgehammer battle.

Lesnar vs. Reigns: Look, you can see my avatar. I had faith before Brock announced he was resigning with the WWE. Roman Reigns may be the guy, but Brock is worth so much more to this company if he doesn't get beat clean. I don't know if Rollins will cash in after the match or not, but I do know #THEBEAST Brock Lesnar will win this match.

Why not...

Tag Titles
Who should win: Cesaro/Kidd retain, because everyone else is injured and/or awful.
Who will win: New Day, who can then go on to form a racial stereotype heel stable with future IC champ R-Truth.

Battle Royal
Who should win: Mizdow for story purposes, or Ryback as a predictable but enjoyable victor.
Who will win: Big Show or some random surprise entrant. Crowd will give zero fucks.

US Championship
Who should win: Rusev. He needs to stay an absolute beast. He's the only one left.
Who will win: Cena. USA! USA! USA! Crowd will boo him breaking The Accolade.

Authority Meltdown Match
Who should win: Rollins. Needs to stay strong in general and any cash-in attempt later would not be at all believable.
Who will win: Orton, because revenge! Never mind that we saw an absolutely massive beatdown for free on RAW a few weeks ago. What could Orton do to top that? I guess maybe knock him out long enough that the Briefcase expires before his return?

Bruised Bones IC Title Match
Who should win: Ziggler, Ambrose or Bryan; Send them to Smackdown to be "Smackdown Champion" for a long run. Restore prestige to the title and make everyone happy!
Who will win: Stardust or R-Truth. After the match of the year you'll only hear crickets in the stadium.

SomethingSomething Divas
Who should win: The Bellas.
Who will win: The Bellas. And why is this not a championship match? They had one last week on RAW instead. The hell? And it was a good match! But no, we get this.

One-Legged Supernatural Powers Showcase
All bets are off! So whatever. He's the pre-injury guess--
Who should win: Wyatt. This might be a drama-heavy but wrestling-light match, which is fine so long as they "evolve" Wyatt and keep his run going. Undertaker can't be Undertaker forever.
Who will win: Undertaker, because Undertaker. Wyatt re-buried.

WCW vs WWE
Who should win: HHH. WCW vs WWE? In 2015? Huh? Beyond carrying a bat I don't see how they've made Sting a credible threat. And a threat to what, exactly? Who knows.
Who will win: String, because reasons, namely crowd pandering. There are no repercussions to this match so it's pretty much a throw-away. Would have been better as a no DQ.

All Hail Reigns
Who should win: Lesnar. Why would Vince pay him millions to stick around? This was a complete waste of money if he doesn't retain. A Lesnar vs Rusev or Lesnar vs Bryan (submission match) for SummerSlam and to next WM would write themselves and be fantastic.
Who will win: Reigns. Because Fuck You, that's why. There's zero wrasslin' or wrestling credibility behind this, but fuck it. HE MUST ASCEND!

Swerves?
  • Heyman turning against Lesnar, while not making any sense whatsoever, would at least partially redeem a Reigns win and make the future look slightly less bleak. Heel Reigns would be slightly less insufferable, but we already know that Heyman can't make Reigns look good.
  • Cash-in! Would succeed on Lesnar and let Reigns take the title next PPV. Would avoid the "no way could this man defeat Lesnar" problem. Would fail on Reigns. HE MUST ASCEND! Mind you since Rollins will be losing earlier it kills the credibility of the cash-in, but it's already just a gimmick to try to boost Reigns so who cares? Epic crowd jeering. Top-tier schadenfreude.
  • Lesnar could win and it would set up some great future matches this year that people would be legitimately excited about! It's sad that this has to be considered a swerve. Paying Brock millions to do non-title matches against people he's already fought will be an unimaginable waste. Put him up against HHH? The Rock? Cena? Yawn.
  • Shaemus randomly entering the battle royal or ladder match (and winning). Zzz.
  • AJ might turn on Paige and it's not like we've had that feud constantly the past year or anything.
  • Turning Ambrose, Bryan or Ziggler heel after a win. Crowd will love them anyway. In the past 2 years WWE has lost all remaining ability to push fans' allegiance one way or another. People are going to cheer for who they want to cheer for. Any of these three could eat a live baby in the middle of the ring and it wouldn't sway opinions anymore.
  • The Shield Megaheel Stable Of Balee The Future Of The Company As "Unstable"™ in the aftermath of the main event. This would be an epic swerve and the crowd would love it. Only works if Ambrose wins the IC title earlier. Would flip all three members instantly. We lose Lesnar mattering in the process but, again, it would at least be interesting.

If Bray Wyatt tries to do the spiderwalk and his ankle shatters, then Taker sits up too fast and needs oxygen, this match is going to be a SLOBBERKNOCKER MAGGLE.
