Bobby Lashley and John Cena vs. Kevin Owens and Elias
This match doesn’t have much of a rivalry either. Mainly just here to have Cena on the card and give Lashley some of that Cena dust. Elias and Kevin Owens are on the heels of one of the longest sustained heel heat segments in a decade. This should be a fun match with a lot of crowd play.
My prediction- Cena and Lashley

Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz
This is for the number one contendership to the WWE World Championship. This feud has been building for over a decade and has finally started blowing off this summer. Miz won their first singles encounter and then went on to beat Daniel and his wife Brie in a mixed tag match with Miz’ wife Maryse. Many people are believing that this is just another step in the feud. I am hoping for more foundation to a fantastic story with Miz winning, going on to win the championship with Bryan struggling until a Royal Rumble win for the Wrestlemania clash.
My prediction- The Miz

The Shield vs. Strowman, Ziggler and McIntyre
The storyline here is that it’s obvious that the Shield would win when they are all on the same page, so Strowman and company tried to drive a wedge in the Shield. Dean Ambrose is the only one in the Shield without a championship and might be the one to turn on his brothers because jealousy and stuff. Look for this storyline not to have much continuation after this one.
My prediction- The Shield

Ronda Rousey and The Bella’s vs. Riott Squad
Not much to say here. The rumor is Nikki and Ronda will battle at the upcoming Evolution pay per view and this match is here to set that up. Riott Squad are cannon fodder for the greatest women to ever wrestle in WWE and Ronda Rousey.
My prediction- Rousey and Bella’s

AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe
AJ Styles is the king of the clusterf*ck finish. I can’t remember the last time AJ had a rivalry that was clean the majority of the time. This storyline is that Samoa Joe couldn’t win the championship so he decided to get inside AJ’s head by harassing the Styles family. AJ said he might have to bury Samoa Joe alive.
My prediction- No finish. Possible murder by being buried alive

Cedric Alexander vs. Buddy Murphy
If you are a frequent Bodyslam.net visitor or bodyslammer, you might know that I review 205 Live. Because of that I think this is my most anticipated match. By the time this match takes place Cedric Alexander will be undefeated for an entire calendar year. Buddy Murphy has the midas touch and every match he has been involved in has turned out to be the best match of the night. Murphy is in his hometown and it looks like all the stars are aligned for the Juggernaut to steal the show and win the championship.
My prediction- Buddy Murphy
Cedric Alexander +140

New Day vs. The Bar
New Day just won the tag team championship recently so I don’t think they are losing to The Bar. There isn’t much of a rivalry here but this match will deliver I’m sure. New Day are tag gods and The Bar never disappoint. Maybe a finish that will continue this rivalry.
My prediction- New Day

Naomi and Asuka vs. The Iiconics
Asuka and Naomi became close friends after Asuka defended Naomi’s hair from Sonya Deville. The Iiconics are Aussie’s and need to be on this card in front of their country people. I don’t think WWE would have every Australian win. I was going back and forth between having The Iiconics win by Asuka and Naomi miscommunication or having the Iiconics lose because WWE has their talent always lose in their home town.
My prediction- Asuka and Naomi
Asuka & Naomi +250

Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch
Smackdown Live! sure knows how to build a rivalry. They also know how to make people care, even if the fans don’t always care for the person WWE wants them to care about. This match could go either way but there is no way Becky can lose her championship while on this big of a hot streak. I’m looking for a win by nefarious means from Becky Lynch to continue this feud to Evolution.
My predictions- Becky Lynch
