Any major surprises coming at a relatively minor pay-per-view?
For me, I think Dolph Ziggler might hang on against Seth Rollins, and I believe Shinsuke Nakamura can fight dirty to beat down the veteran Jeff Hardy.

I like your predictions, smurfbate. Especially the B-Team picking up a shock victory though I feel it's unlikely to happen myself. I'd love to see Rusev win as he's totally earned this opportunity but what chance against A J Styles. Good to see Sin Cara at the bottom of the card where he belongs. That's if it's Sin Cara at all lol.  |

Bobby Lashley vs Roman Reigns- I think Bobby Lashley is gonna win. Roman Reigns already went against Brock Lesnar a few times already(just look at last year's Summerslam), and now it's time for the next big dream match. Bobby Lashley just got back, and still has to prove himself. He needs a real challenge. Roman Reigns can lose and then go on to continue helping Seth Rollins against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre(in fact Drew can be Roman's next big opponent, not Brock).
AJ Styles vs Rusev- I think AJ Styles is gonna retain. It's smarter to have him going into Summerslam carrying the championship, since he's the best Smackdown has to offer right now. I suspect, these two are gonna have a rematch though.
Nakamura vs Jeff Hardy- Well both of these two just got a refreshment for their careers, which makes the match somewhat unpredictable, but I think Nakamura needs the win. I mean, he didn't just come off of three or four big matches with AJ Styles just to keep losing, especially since he just turned heel. He can at least win the next big strap to go with his new attitude.
Alexa Bliss vs Nia Jax- Alexa Bliss is gonna win. Extreme Rules is her ppv, and she's got bigger fish to fry, which is Ronda Rousey. I can't see them wrestling each other without the Raw Women's Championship being involved, and I don't see Nia Jax just winning the title back to go against Ronda Rousey again, as if Alexa's MITB win and third title win mean't nothing. At this point, Nia Jax is now just in the middle of a bigger encounter to come next month.
Carmella vs Asuka- Carmella. Asuka's current story is about her going downhill. She's no different from Charlotte last year, when she came over to Smackdown. She had to fall in line like everyone else, and now Asuka is doing the same, which is why she hasn't gotten the upper hand on Carmella. Paige did throw her a bone however, so now she has just a little more momentum going into the ppv before she loses.
I don't have a prediction for the rest of the card, but I wouldn't be surprised if the B-Team became the new Raw tag team champions. They're getting themselves a pretty big push right now, as lame and undeserving as I think they've been.

Bold prediction going for Bobby Lashley. That'd be a major upset if he beats Roman Reigns but who knows.
I understand the 'B' team haven't done much to deserve a title shot but I think they're two good, entertaining, hard working roster wrestlers with chemistry. Bo Dallas has executed some nice moves of late, his talent needs a platform, I think he's got all the tools. I've also never been sold on their opponents. I've long grown weary of Bray Wyatt's tiresome persona and how he turns everyone he wants into a Wyatt. Matt Hardy can barely stand up straight and his stock moves are looking tired. I'll take the 'B' team over this 'A' team any day of the week.
Jeff Hardy can still bring it and leaves everything on the line but Shinsuke Nakamura has reached another level as a heel. He's extraordinary to watch, his promos are hilarious, he's picked up his rival Dolph Ziggler's knack for delivering all sorts of low blows and I hope he wins a belt because the time is now.

So far I'm 3 for 3 with Almas, Sanity, and B Team.
SO happy the B-Team won simply because I find them kind of funny at the moment and I absolutely HATE the stupid woken gimmick.

If Bobby Lashley loses, then I assume he's just being saved as Brock's opponent for WrestleMania instead of Summerslam(assuming Brock is still around), and this way he'll have even more momentum going into the match.

I think it's possible that we get a questionable finish in that match. Brock is reportedly going to defend the title at Summerslam and then he'll be gone for UFC which he can be cleared to return in Jan 2019. We also have Braun with MITB so he's in the convo as well. I think we're going to get Brock vs Lashley vs Roman vs Braun for the title at Summerslam because they need to add something fresh to the Brock/Reigns matches and a 4th 1 on 1 match between them isn't that. But, as I say this just watch them make it a Hell in a Cell match and say that's enough. |

Unfortunately, I'm unable to watch this pay-per-view, I'll catch some youtube highlights though and read up on the Bleacher Report. Also, I can follow the latest news online as it happens.
Good for the B-Team, I like Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas.

I missed the first 3 matches because I thought it started at 6. Constantly missing when these "PPV's" start and when they don't. 6-7 used to be pre show and I wanted to see the Tables match but the damn thing started at 5. |

Sigh...reports are that Reigns vs Lashley will be main eventing tonight. AJ Styles and the WWE Championship can't even main event a co branded PPV where the other title isn't even involved.
Main event should have been the WWE Championship match or the IC Championship match.

I was already gonna order the ppv next month for the possibility of seeing Bobby Lashley vs Brock Lesnar, but i'll take the fatal four way involving the other guys as well.

I'm hearing "the Goddess still holds the gold" as Alexa Bliss retains her title against the unstoppable force Nia Jax. Hopefully these reports are true ...

Yup, DDT onto a chair after Rousey got involved fighting with Mickie There's a big backlash brewing after 'Money In The Bank', was it a bad match? I mean, Nia's problem is really that she won at Wrestlemania and couldn't carry the mic. Bliss proved her talent at 'Elimination Chamber'. |

From what I saw, was a solid show. I wish the crowd wasn't so annoying during the Iron Man match because it really was a good/great match. I loved the sudden death announcement and I wasn't expecting Drew to come back out and help Dolph win. That shocked me. I was kind of getting the sense that Ambrose was going to return and turn heel on Rollins.
