1.  Dream (really don't want this to happen, but they've clearly decided to push him regardless)

2.  Lee

3.  Shirai

4.  Cole

5.  Breezango

6.  Balor

 

B1. Yes

B2. Burch & Lorcan

B3. NXT Championship (Lee/Kross)

B4. No

B5. Yes

 

Summerfest

 

1. Mcintyre

2. The Fiend

3. Mysterio

4. MVP

5. Asuka (because a Sasha title reign isn't complete without zero successful title defences!)

6. Bayley

7. Street Profits

8. Deville

 

B1. Garza

B2. Yes

B3. Kendo Stick

B4. No (assuming we're not counting unannounced pre-show matches)

B5. No (my theory is that he's going to have to give it up or put it on the line to get Mandy reinstated)

B6. Over

 

Here we go then, going to be an interesting one!

 

1. McIntyre

2. Asuka

3. Bayley

4. Wyatt

5. Rollins

6. Crews

7. Cesaro/Nakamura

 

B1. A 'McIntyre-has-one-hand-tied-behind-his-back' match. (honestly no idea, I'm assuming something wacky!)

B2. Kingston

B3.  Yes (but how the hell they pull this off without it becoming unintentionally hilarious, I have no idea!)

B4.  No

B5.  No

I've realised I've gone with no title changes on this show, so there could well be an upset in there. Don't see any of them changing hands though.

 

1. Edge

2. Mcintyre

3. Strowman

4. Asuka

5. Hardy

6. Bayley & Banks

7. Crews

 

B1. No

B2. Peyton

B3. Miz

B4. Yes

B5. Over (although it's a bit of an uninspiring card, really don't want to see this stretched to 3.5 hours!)

Haven't really been paying much attention to the build, so my picks could be seriously wide of the mark this time!

 

1.  Styles

2.  Jax

3.  Strowman (I could easily see this being a 'no contest' nonsense finish, but either way Strowman retains)

4.  Mcintyre

5.  Bayley

6.  New Day

 

B1. Womens

B2. Yes

B3. Yes

B4. Not revealed

B5. Yes

Here we go then. Could easily be a few swerves on this card, so I'm not feeling too confident about some of these picks - especially lower down the card.

 

1. Flair

2. McIntyre

3. Goldberg

4. Lynch

5. The Fiend

6. Banks

7. Undertaker

8. Morrison (or Miz & Morrison if the reports are wrong and it's a tag match as scheduled)

9. Street Profits

10. Edge

11. Bryan

12. Bliss & Cross

 

B1. Yes

B2. Bayley

B3. Yes

B4. Under

B5. Over

Pretty underwhelmed at this card, I guess this is what you get when both world titles are on part-timers, their Mania matches are already booked and you've still got a PPV to fill. Some are easier to predict than others - a few of these could go either way.

 

1. Shayna

2. Braun

3. Heavy Machinery

4.  Street Profits

5.  Black

6.  Andrade

 

B1. 4

B2. Chair

B3. Yes

B4. 0

B5. Heavy Machinery and Miz & Morrison (hey hey, ho ho...)

I was not at all confident with those Royal Rumble predictions, so pretty suprised to have won that!

 

That main event could go either way, so I'm going out on a limb and predicting they save Cole's title loss for Mania weekend.

 

1.  Cole

2.  Ripley

3.  Gargano

4.  Broserweights

5.  Tegan Nox

6.  Keith Lee

 

B1. Yes

B2. Chair

B3. O'Reilly

B4. Yes

B5. Over

It's preshow... you're literally the reason I put it in the picks

 

Also, Skar's UK.... teach him to love Baseball

 

I visited Chicago many years ago and my friend took me to see a Cubs game, definitely not the sport for me!

Thanks, that makes a lot more sense!

 

Funny what is and isn't acceptable in different sports. When you compare it to the ball-tampering scandal in the cricket (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Australian_ball-tampering_scandal) where they were literally roughing up the ball with sandpaper, it almost doesn't sound that bad!

Considering I almost exclusively have Raw and SD on as background noise while I do other stuff... 3rd place is pretty decent!

 

Both RR matches are pretty hard to pick this year seeing as the build has been pretty quiet, pretty sure I'll be spectacularly wrong on these!
