NXT Title: Cole vs Gargano in a 2 out of 3 falls match that's basically a 3 stages of hell match (Gargano chose a street fight, Cole chose a regular singles match.... Regal will choose the 3rd if it's needed. No word on what it would be) Tag Titles: Street Profits vs Undisputed Era NA title: Dream vs Dunne vs Roddy Strong Women's Title: Shayna vs Mia Yim Singles match: Candice LeRae vs Io Shirai

We pick for all the title matches... so it's literally in our picks. All the others... will be considered/debated/tweaked/etc. Thanks.

@Psycho666Soldier @Garlic Junior @Eizan @MT @KR @Nick @TySwizz @Skaraarian @Death Rider Mox @MDSup3rDup3 @facharyzuller Lets start thinking of any bonus questions for SummerSlam and Takeover this weekend. I'd like to get the Template and Spreadsheet finished by the end of Thursday since I leave Saturday morning for my two weeks in the summer with the Army. (This also means that it'll be up to someone else to fill in the picks in the spreadsheet that aren't submitted before Saturday morning and keep score of the events... since I won't even be able to watch the events, let alone keep score )

Hmm... we used to have a rule specifically for this kind of thing, I'll have to re-add it I guess. Maybe make it be "Any title match added to the card within 48 hours before the show starts won't be picked, unless no picks have been made at that point." And yeah, I was expecting it to be, but it never was until today.

Generally, yes. But it was added literally like 3 hours before the pre-show started. So too late for it. I've literally never heard of WWE Now, so I'm not counting something being announced there as being announced. The only match we picked for that's happened so far is Gulak/Nese. So you won't get credit for that. You're good for everything else.

1. Seth and Becky 2. Kofi Kingston 3. Alexa and Nikki 4. Drew Gulak 5. The New Day 6. Aleister Black 7. AJ Styles 8. The Revival B1. Yes B2. Yes B3. Rowan B4. Over B5. Alexa Bliss

No, the whole setup has basically been that Nikki's done all the hard work to get Alexa a shot. And it's a handicap match, not a triple threat. It's implied that if Nikki were to get the pin, Alexa would still get the belt. But that doesn't mean that's what would happen. There's many avenues it could go if Nikki got the pin. Nikki wins, leaves with the belt. Nikki wins, Alexa leaves with the belt. Nikki wins, Alexa tries to leave with it and Nikki attacks her. Or Bayley could win Or Alexa could get the pin and leaves with it. Or Alexa wins and there could be a double turn where Nikki ends up bad and Alexa good. Yes, the end of the match.

I'll put everything together tonight. Also, new win gif:

Also, that was a surprisingly good PPV. Maybe because there were such low expectations. Even the 40 people in attendance seemed to like it.

1. Kofi Kingston 2. Seth Rollins 3. Bayley 4. Becky Lynch 5. Heavy Machinery 6. Samoa Joe 7. Drew Gulak B1. No B2. Brock Lesnar B3. Yes B4. Over B5. Akira Tozawa

At the end of the season (this season ends at Survivor Series), the top three are the belt holders until the end of the next season. We put the Universal at the Top Spot because WWE clearly value that the most even though it sucks So Nick, Brianne, and I are the defending champs. But you're in good shape right now for a belt.

They're shiny and look good on a mantle.

It's the tagline for the PPV. Well, "It's time to kick ass and take names!" is. So commentary's said it ad nauseam, as usual... and it's even worked its way into some of the promos.

Good answer

Tempting... Edit: Bri has claimed it!

Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well.

I think you missed a P in your name Still might have one more join in the picks from our SuperCard group if he actually checks his Discord before it starts

Which one? 1. Adam Cole 2. Io Shirai 3. Undisputed Era 4. Tyler Breeze 5. Matt Riddle B1. Yes B2. Wesley Blake B3. Yes B4. Velveteen Dream B5. Yes

Yep. I've been adding the Cultaholic predictions to The Spreadsheet for a while now. This time it's Jack and Pacitti. If Maffew ever made predictions, he would be.

At least two (so far) of the guys in mine and Nick's WWE Supercard group expressed interest in dealing in. So that's the extra non-Cultaholic folk you see. Always good to get some new blood in.

Just for the record, for the "last non-winner on a ladder" question, if there's multiple answers for it due to more than one ladder being up and there's people on it or whatever, they all get a point.
