WWE TLC 2017 predictions

Here are my predictions for tonights WWE ppv TLC ( or whats left oft it)

1 .Kurt Angle, Seth Rollins, & Dean Ambrose vs. The Miz & Braun Strowman & Kane & Cesaro & Sheamus
 -> If it were the Shield, that’d be my easy pick. It’s still what I’m going with even with Kurt Angle replacing Roman Reigns. They still will want the Shield to be a strong trio for whatever they want at Survivor Series and 2/3 of them losing alongside Hall of Famer Kurt Angle won’t help that at all. Pick: The Olympic Shield wins

2. Alexa Bliss vs. Mickie James

-> The Raw women’s division is best known for baffling booking decisions and/or shock surprises. It’s entirely possible they go for shock value here and do a title change but I don’t see the value in it and it’s always been clear this was a stop gap for Bliss to get to something bigger and better.
Pick: Alexa Bliss retains

3. Kalisto vs. Enzo Amore
-> There are quite a few issues with the cruiserweight division but the reality is Enzo makes it more interesting when he’s holding the title.
Pick: Enzo Amore wins the Title

4. Asuka vs. Emma
-> Lol, Emma is so dead.
Pick: Asuka wins

5. The Demon vs. AJ Styles
-> If rumors of Bálor going on to fight Lesnar are true, he’ll need to get the win here. Then again, if AJ is facing off against Jinder soon, he’ll want to avoid a clean loss too. Since they’re still billing Finn as “The Demon” who is undefeated, I’ll go with Finn.
Pick: Finn Balor wins

6. Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann vs. The Brian Kendrick & Jack Gallagher
-> Can’t imagine this gets blown off as a tag, so Kendrick and Gallagher will pull some underhanded tactics and we’ll carry on.
Pick: Brian Kendrick & Jack Gallagher wins

7. Sasha Banks vs. Alicia Fox
-> I'm picking Sasha because she is usually given a decent spotlight on Raw, while Alicia is not a regular presence on television.
Pick: Sasha Banks wins
