WWE TLC 2018 predictions

Here are my predictions for tonights WWE TLC ppv:


Intercontinental Championtitel Match Seth Rollins (c) vs. Dean Ambrose
-> This feud has suffered from excessive rambling on the mic and not enough intense physical action in the ring. The heel should win the first match in a story like this. Maybe Heath Slater will be the referee? Pick: Dean Ambrose




WWE Championtitel Match Daniel Bryan (c) vs. AJ Styles 
-> Picking against him would just be... fickle.
Pick: Daniel Bryan


Triple Threat SmackDown Women’s Championtitel Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka 
 -> Because I like the idea of The Man winning the Rumble, and because it makes sense to take the belt off her to get her into said Rumble, and because they not only made this a match where she can lose the title without tapping or being pinned, but also added another player to further protect her... Pick: Asuka


Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match Braun Strowman vs. Raw “General Manager-Elect” Baron Corbin 
-> I guess it all depends on Strowman’s health. But I think he can beat Corbin with one arm. And he should too. Because full time Baron Corbin as GM really can’t happen.
Pick: Braun Strowman 



Raw Women’s Championtitel Match Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Nia Jax 
-> I really enjoyed their match at Money in the Bank and am looking forward to the sequel. That being said, the last few weeks have been a disaster for this feud and it’s pretty clear Nia Jax isn’t good enough for a top push. Rather than giving us a repeat of their first match, where Nia tossed Ronda around for 10 minutes, I think this time WWE will book Ronda to be completely dominant and make short work of the face-breaker. Pick: Ronda Rousey




Mixed Match Challenge Finale Jinder Mahal & Alicia Fox vs. R-Truth vs. Carmella 
-> DANCE BREAK!
Pick: Fabulous Truth


Triple Threat SmackDown Tag Team Championtitel Match The Bar (c) vs. The Usos vs. The New Day 
 -> The titles are to be passed around among these teams forever and ever. I guess it’s time for another Usos title run?
Pick: The Usos


Chairs Match Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton
-> Rey should wear two masks, just in case. Pick: Rey Mysterio



Finn Bálor vs. Drew McIntyre 
-> You know why Finn won’t dress up as The Demon for this one? Because he’s got virtually no chance to win, so why bother?
Pick: Drew McIntyre 


Ladder Match Elias vs. Bobby Lashley 
-> Elias has gone all of 2018 without winning a match on PPV. He’s gotta turn it around at some point, right? Lashley can take a loss here.
Pick: Elias


Tables Match Natalya vs. Ruby Riott
-> Tell your sob stories somewhere else. This is three-on-one. The winner is obvious, because math. Pick: Ruby Riott
 

WWE Cruiserweight Championtitel Match Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Cedric Alexander 
-> The cruiserweight division is so stacked with talent that are neck and neck with each other that I simply can’t see them pulling the trigger on another two-time champion anytime soon.
Pick: Buddy Murphy

WWE Evolution 2018 predictions



Here are my predictions for tonights first ever WWE womans ppv EVOLUTION




Raw Women's Championship -- Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Nikki Bella
-> Would WWE turn Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir all at the same time? My money is on Rousey getting the win, the Bellas stomping her after the bell and the 4 Horsewomen of UFC standing tall to end the show.




SmackDown Women's Championship -- Becky Lynch (c) vs. Charlotte Flair (Last Woman Standing Match)
-> Charlotte has taken beatdown after beatdown over the last month or so, and if Becky weren’t riding the hotted streak of her life I’d probably pick Flair to win. Going with Lynch only because she’s probably the best thing going in WWE right now.




Trish Stratus & Lita vs. Mickie James & Alicia Fox
-> WWE isn’t just trotting out Trish Stratus and Lita to get rolled over by Mickie James and Alicia Fox. Stratus and Lita take the win and maybe eventually head up the women’s tag division?



Sasha Banks, Bayley & Natalya vs. The Riott Squad
-> This is the Evolution match I’m least looking forward to because I have no idea why it’s happening. I’m hoping the Riott Squad wins because they’re closer to an actual trios team. My only real prediction is that Sasha will do something crazy.


NXT Women's Championship -- Kairi Sane (c) vs. Shayna Baszler
-> I’d like to see Kairi retain, and Baszler move up to make room for Bianca Belair at the very top of the NXT women’s division. It seems like Baszler already did just about everything she can as a heel champion in NXT, so I think that outcome is pretty likely. Plus WWE may have some kind of plan for the MMA Horsewomen (I kind of hope they don’t).


Io Shirai vs. Toni Storm (2018 Mae Young Classic final)
-> With Toni Storm set to be the babyface ace of NXT UK’s women’s division, I think Io Shirai wins this one to give her some WWE-recognized clout as she starts her NXT TV career. Whoever wins, I think this match will bang and be pretty different from the rest of the show.


Womans Battle Royal
-> I hope Asuka wins this and goes into a title program with Becky, but I suspect if they’re doing some kind of women’s tag team thing the winner might have to be someone who isn’t paired up with anyone right now, so my second guess is… Mella is Money

WWE HIAC 2018 predictions

(c) WWE



WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman – Hell In A Cell Match With Mick Foley As Special Guest Referee 
-> I guess Reigns will retain the title somehow.

WWE Champion AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe 
-> This will be the time, AJ will lose his title and Joe will finally on top of SD Live.

WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey vs. Alexa Bliss 
-> Ronda will retain here for sure.

The Miz & Maryse vs. Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella – Mixed Tag Team Match 
-> just a tag match to extend the feud between The Miz and  Daniel Bryan. Bryan and Brie will win.

Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton – Hell In A Cell Match 
-> hopefully we will see the final transformation of Jeff into Brother Nero. So as bad as this sounds, Orton will win this match.

WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre vs. Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose 
-> Ziggler and McIntyre will retain their titles.

WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch 
-> I really like Beckys new attitude. She will become the next SD Womans champ. But I guess not tonight. Maybe a Steel Cage Match against Charlotte at EVOLUTION ppv?

SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day vs. Rusev and Aiden English – Kickoff show.
-> its time for the final breakup between Rusev and English. New Day will retain.
