WWE Clash of Champions 2017 predictions

Here are my predictions for tonights WWE ppv Clash of Champions:

* WWE Championship Match: Champion AJ Styles vs. Jinder Mahal
 -> Given all the circumstances, this should be the easiest call to make as far as predictions go, with The Phenomenal One a clear and decisive victor. Styles retain

* WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship Lumberjack Match: Champion Charlotte vs. Natalya
 -> Natalya is old news and will be disposed of in favor of Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan, who will likely get the best out of Naomi, Lana, Tamina and Carmella on the outside while Flair makes The Queen of Harts submit. Charlotte retains
 

* WWE U.S. Championship Match: Champion Baron Corbin vs. Bobby Rodde vs. Dolph Ziggler
 -> Since this has primarily revolved around Roode and Corbin trading shots with each other, with little focus on Ziggler, it raises suspicions that The Showoff is only included here to take the fall. Baron Corbin retains
 

* WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match: Champions The Usos vs. The New Day vs. Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable vs. Rusev & Aiden English
 -> hard to tell but its a) the Usos retaining or b) The New Day taking back the titles for yet another reign.

* Owens and Zayn’s Careers on the Line: Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens vs. Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura (Special Referees: Shane McMahon & Daniel Bryan)
 -> Orton sucks, so Owens and Zayn will win with the help of Daniel Bryan

* The Bludgeon Brothers vs. Breezango
 -> There is no way The Fashion Police win this match, even with the surge in popularity Tyler Breeze and Fandango have received since adopting this gimmick last year. Bludgeon Bros wins
 

* Kickoff Show Match: Zack Ryder vs. Mojo Rawley

 ->  Zack Ryder should be looking for revenge after his teammate turned on him, while Rawley will be seeking to prove he was right in saying Long Island Iced Z kept him down.

Once they lock horns, the truth of the matter will be discovered. And it needs to end by demonstrating Rawley was justified. Mojo wins
