WWE Money In The Bank - Preview & Predictions

Becky Lynch (c) vs Charlotte Flair: WWE Smackdown Live Women’s Championship Match

One of the champions two defenses on this show after being crowned the champ champ at Wrestlemania, I know previously we weren't sure if they would have the two belts be combined and just have the champ rule over both shows, but this makes it definite that there are still two titles and they will be separate to each show once one person doesn't own them both.

I would imagine the main event of this show will be between this bout and the men’s Money In The Bank (MITB) match, I imagine the men’s bout takes it in a late decision with them deciding that based on Becky probably coming into this second title defense with a ‘knock’ and having to work from the bottom against Charlotte so they’ll want the fresher wrestlers main eventing the show (yeah I know that doesn't make much sense but if Beckys selling alot it will be Vince foremost thought).

I did have Becky winning this and continuing on as a double champion for a while yet, but, I actually see it different today after thinking about an injury being something they add to this bout following on from her first match. Make it Becky getting a slight twisted knee in the first match against Evans and still winning, but against Charlotte she zero’s in on the knee building to her finisher and title win. That way they can have Lynch drop the title and blame it one having to wrestle twice in one night and Charlotte taking advantage of a bad knee, lets Becky stay on Raw as champion and also adds another layer to Becky/Charlotte for when they feud again in the future. But at the same time I wouldn't be surprised for Lynch to retain against both women and carry the champ champ gimmick for longer, if its a ratings success in her segments and shes still moving big numbers of merchandise that is.... - CHARLOTTE

Seth Rollins (c) vs AJ Styles - WWE Universal Title Match

I get the feeling this match will be given good time in the middle of the show but will get overlooked due to the placement on the card sadly. Two great wrestlers here and the match should be quality, the hype videos have been superb showing both guys alot younger and their progressions to get to this point from wrestling each other pre WWE.

Im not keen on the slight heel actions of Styles in the build up here, but sometimes they have issues when having title matches be face vs face and have to go back and have one of them play the slight heel. I imagine once this feuds wrapped up that Styles goes back to being 100% face and quickly going into another feud.

In terms of a winner here we cant look past Rollins retaining his belt, he isnt dropping it this quickly and nor should he. For me his reign hasn't felt anything special just yet, so hopefully this can be the springboard in having a great match and that leading to him being THE focus of Raw for the next few weeks - ROLLINS

Kofi Kingston (c) vs Kevin Owens - WWE Championship Match

Is it just me that isnt feeling the Kofi title win? In a different way to Rollins in that Kofi doesn't seem a champion to me at all yet, him wearing the world title looks weird and most weeks has been in matches featuring guys better than him and all I can see is other wrestlers that should be holding that belt, not sure that’s the way I should be thinking lol

In my head I feel they may think about swapping the belt early, may just be me though, I feel Owens as a heel champion has more legs to it than Kofi as champion does - OWENS

Roman Reigns vs Elias

Im glad that Elias is getting a big feud here against Roman after moving to Smackdown Live, and hopefully they get some decent time here for Elias to show some fire and talent and not just revert to rest holds like they have him do usually on tv.

But lets not get mistaken here, there’s no chance Elias is winning unless multiple people run in to cost Reigns the win - REIGNS

The Miz vs Shane McMahon - Cage Match

We all know this company, Shane won at Wrestlemania so Miz wins here to make it 50/50. Shane goes for a big stunt from the top, Miz attempts to look a tough guy fighting in the cage while Shane runs away - MIZ

Becky Lynch (c) vs Lacey Evans - WWE Raw Women’s Championship Match

The second title match on the PPV for Becky against the newest threat for her belt in Lacey Evans, sorry The Sassy Southern Belle Lacey Evans.

Im glad they have had Evans hold her ground in brawls with Lynch, she really needs to and also needs them to build her as a past Marine in having her be as tough as anyone and be able to gain a deadly focus in the ring due to it, give her a deadly touch as well as her being a ‘lady’.

I see Becky retaining this belt as the safest bet in her two matches, while at the same time I see this being the feud they carry on with after the show with Becky remaining on Raw. So, they will have to be careful in how they have Lacey beaten and not done so in too much of a dominate fashion. In my preview of the Charlotte match I mentioned her gaining a slight injury in this match, so, lets go with her getting a slight knee injury and beats Evans with a lucky roll-up. That leaves them open to carry on the feud as its a lucky finish and the heel can gain the rematch on Raw no problem - LYNCH

Ember Moon vs Mandy Rose vs Dana Brooke vs Nikki Cross vs Bayley vs Nattie vs Naomi vs Carmella - Women’s MITB Ladder Match

It seems that yet again the women get pulled from house shows the weekend before a big match to prepare it all out, I bet the guys wish they had that option sometimes....

Firstly, im really glad that Dana is getting the big opportunity here, she’s been doing her best in every chance she gets in the ring and has gotten some good reactions from the crowds, especially the Wrestlemania crowd.

Secondly, Alexa Bliss has been dropped from this bout and replaced with Cross, the company really need to be analysing Bliss in the same ways they do Bryan with his head issues. She really shouldn't have been brought back for the Rumble and the odd other match she’s had since as she doesn't seem ready to get back in the ring, with reports she has been throwing up backstage after a match which as a sign of concussions. She really needs to be wrapped in cotton wool for awhile longer and given access to the best doctors to double check everything rather than just using the companies own doctors.

Now onto the match, in terms of potential winners I have it down to Bayley, Moon, Rose and Carmella. I think all of them if given the briefcase will need alot of work in building them up ready to be a threat, but, I see them all more than capable of getting back into the title scene and ready to take the title in afew months or rebuilding. Rose probably needs the least build as she’s been ok, but the others either due to injury or not being the focus of a push and taking a number of defeats or being treated as a comedy act need that change to make them looked at more seriously again.

Out of those girls Ill go with Bayley, she’s been treated like a joke since Wrestlemania and bring traded to Smackdown in not getting a win. This should give them the imperative to focus back on her to build her back up, its so needed with Bayley that its a joke they have missed so much with how they've treated her since her call up from NXT its unbelievable - BAYLEY

Andrade vs Ricochet vs Drew McIntyre vs Finn Balor vs Sami Zayn vs The Baron vs Ali vs Randy Orton - Men’s MITB Ladder Match

I really like 90% of this match (get lost The Baron) and it should lead to some fun spots throughout, I also see them having re-watched the ladder match for the NXT North American title from last year and taking some of the spots from with how well that match did being a 5 star rated bout.

Personally I only see Drew winning this match and being a constant threat on nearly every Raw standing over the champion or watching him menacingly, then decimating him for the title and making himself the new main eventer in the company.

When looking at the others I guess I could see other winners in Andrade, Ricochet, Balor or Ali. Ali and Andrade would need some very solid pushes and focus but would lead to some very fresh threats around the world title scene, and that’s something they are desperate for lately so may be a factor in deciding the potential winner tonight. Ricochet and Balor are guys I would have zero problem in pushing them big time through the summer for the world title, as both guys will fit in there no problem, I just dont see it yet sadly - MCINTYRE

Samoa Joe (c) vs Rey Mysterio

A rematch following their very short Mania match due to Rey having an injury that he is now fully recovered from, this will definitely get more time than that.

I do still think this feud will continue on longer and will potentially feature more appearances from Dominic, I even have a slight feeling that he turns heel on his dad at some point, dont ask why I just do lol

I dont see a title change occurring here, and continue to say what ive mentioned previously in that id be building Joe monthly as a killer with the plan of having him ready for the world title come the end of the year - JOE

Tony Nese (c) vs Ariya Daivari - WWE Cruiserweight Title Match

Sorry but ive stopped caring about this title after Murphy dropped the belt and moved to Smackdown to not be used much, 205 Live NEED more/new talent on their roster quickly to keep peoples interests, please - NESE

Rowan & Daniel Bryan (c) vs The Uso’s - Non Title Match - Kickoff Show

Gutted for these guys in being demoted to the kick of show, get ready to be interrupted by ads in the middle of your match with no-one watching.

Its a non title match so they usually result in the challengers gaining the win setting them up for a title match next, and with the lack of depth in the Smackdown tag ranks they really shouldn't have the Uso’s lose...................................................As long as the wildcards can win the titles on the show they are visiting that is - USOS

Hopefully everyone enjoys the show, and we potentially could have some decent surprises with the winners in the MITB matches, leading to us all having our imaginations run wild in the potential cash ins and how they could occur

Bye for now

WWE SummerSlam 2018 - Preview & Predictions

Hi all, welcome back for what now will be the longest night of the summer, so many matches on the card and kick off show so lets get into it and get out quickly.

ALSO, Tumblr YET AGAIN is playing up and has been for me the last 2 hours trying to get this done, 8 times ive tried so its just the text sorry

Brock Lesnar (c) vs Roman Reigns: WWE Universal Championship Match

Please let this be the last match between the two, please, we’ve had enough. Just let Reigns beat him finally for the title and move on with the title being defended more on tv, and IF Lesnar agree’s to a new deal lets all hope he gets it put in the deal that he gets to have fresh challenges in the future.

So, Roman wins the match as well as the belt the crowd boo’s like mad, Braun appears and cashes in his MITB contract and walks out of the show as the new champion with the fans going wild. This quickly moves the title with the fans not caring as someone they like has the belt in the end, Roman finally conquers Brock and gets that monkey off of his back, and they traverse well from Reigns/Lesnar straight into Reigns/Strowman so that Brocks move back into the UFC isnt the big story. - REIGNS

AJ Styles (c) vs Samoa Joe: WWE Championship Match

This will be an awesome match, the friends here have great chemistry together in the ring from working in different companies against each other.

I really want Joe to take the title tonight but I dont think its time just yet, plus I think there could be ALOT of potential title changes on the show so they may hold off as there’s plenty of room to explore in this feud over the next month or two - STYLES

Alexa Bliss (c) vs Ronda Rousey: WWE Raw Women’s Championship Match

Im surprised they've been able to keep theirselves from getting the title on Ronda so long, they probably should have waited longer but this seems to be her coronation time. All eyes will be on her tonight, dont be surprised if there’s a late decision on match order for the show with this coming in as a late contender for the main event slot if there’s going to be a title change. Personally im not sure if this is the perfect timing for it or maybe they should have it be the main event at the Evolution PPV........I know spoilers are out there for that show already but Ronda winning the title there might be bigger overall in impact than their current plans.

With so many bouts on the show I see one or two turning into pretty quick squash matches, this is potentially one of them, they just have to be careful of destroying Bliss by doing so but then again she could do with time away from the title after the past few years of her on Raw and Smackdown with the belts - ROUSEY

Braun Strowman vs Kevin Owens: Winner By Any Means Takes The MITB Opportunity

I dont think there’s much of a chance here of an upset win for Owens, he got that last month in the cage match, and really this is just a stop gap feud for Braun before his cash in.

Sadly Owens isnt the guy in focus at the moment on Raw but does his job so well that he will get used alot to help others, hopefully he still remains a threat in managements minds and doesn't get looked at differently for being so useful - STROWMAN

Dolph Ziggler (c) w/ Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins w/ Dean Ambrose: WWE Raw Intercontinental Championship Match

Dean’s new look wasn't that impressive for them to update the image for the match obviously lol

I think the title changes hands here and we move into these four guys interchanging in different matches, so Drew/Rollins and Dolph/Ambrose then tag matches - ROLLINS

Becky Lynch vs Carmella (c) vs Charlotte: WWE Smackdown Live Women’s Championship Match

Im kinda gutted that this was altered into a three way match with Charlotte being added, it felt the perfect setup for a one on one bout with Becky winning the title back finally. Now it has that weird feeling to it with her ‘best friend’ Charlotte around and them eventually fighting each other, hopefully the crowd stick with Lynch throughout and dont pick Charlotte to cheer and her to boo, hopefully.

Carmella’s reign has been worrying sadly, she’s ended up on commentary far too often lately when really she should have been added to some of the tag matches that have occurred. It really doesn't feel like they 100% trust her which is madness after they gave her the title, and its all on managements heads to be honest. When she won the MITB briefcase they should have had her in matches most weeks going 10 minutes or over with solid wrestlers to get her ready and improved for the eventual title reign, instead she got hardly any ring time to help develop herself and is now being found out at the time she needs the help the most.

Lynch should take the belt and have a good title run after not seeing the belt for a decent amount of time - LYNCH

Daniel Bryan vs The Miz

Some great time and segments have gone into this feud over the years and hopefully the match lives upto it, not sure if this will be a feud that will continue for longer or it may be one that dies down after the finish only to be picked up again afew months down the road when one of these men get nearer to the world title scene.

I see Bryan winning here and maybe moving onto a feud with Nakamura or possibly Orton, him moving upto the world title scene wont occur yet, they haven't confirmed his new contract just yet so be prepared to wait till Mania time for them to pull the trigger big time to have him back at the top of the card - BRYAN

Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs Jeff Hardy: WWE Smackdown Live US Championship Match

Hopefully this match doeskin end again with Randy Orton interfering again and they just leave the two have a solid 15 minutes, they seem to have some good chemistry together and freshness - NAKAMURA

Finn Balor vs CUNTstable Corbin

I hate that this match is taking up time on the show, nothing against Finn as I love the guy and have supported him for years, but this bout is only happening because of the companies stupid booking and making everything 50/50. Finn should have gone over strong in the first match and then won the second, then have Corbin use his position to have Balor go against bigger names. Instead we have to have them beating each other all the time so that nothing ever matters, if Corbin is in a management position then he doesn't so much need the wins at the moment as he should be using his position more - BALOR

The Bludgeon Brothers (c) vs The New Day: WWE Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship Match

Im not sure of anyone really knows the direction they want to go with these belts, the Bludgeons should have been wrestling more as their reign hasn't really felt anything special which is sad for them. Whoever wins will most likely end up feuding with the same old names again, lets hope it gets changed up alittle and The Bar get involved more - BLUDGEON BROTHERS

Elias Performance

Im including this as I see it leading to a beat-down from Bobby Lashley

Cedric Alexander (c) vs Drew Gulak: Cruiserweight Championship Match (Kick Off Show)

Drew won the opportunity at the title after winning a fatal 4 way match and aims to end the rule of Alexander, it just doesn't feel right for a change here. The show still seems to be finding its way as 205 Live are doing great at booking small time feuds, but there really doesn't feel to be a longer plan in mind as to who takes the title next and where it goes from there - ALEXANDER

Rusev + Lane vs Zelina Vega + Andrade Cien Almas (Kick Off Match)

Im gutted for Rusev, he goes from fighting for the world title against Styles one month to being relegated to the pre-show the next, him vs Andrade should have been on the main card in a one on one match allowing them both to have a show stealer and impress everyone that still hasn't seen much of what Almas can offer.

Instead we have it built around the managers and Aiden English all not getting along, the less we talk about Lana having to act or wrestle the better, infact just go back at the second incident they all had and notice that they had to cut Lana’s bump out of the replays because it was that bad - ANDRADE/VEGA

The B Team (c) vs The Revival: WWE Raw Tag Team Championship Match

After retaining their titles on Raw The B Team have to defend their titles again against the Revival, this feels like one of those occasions where they will have the match here and then re-do it again on Raw, just that the title change will wait till Raw I predict - REVIVAL

I wonder if we get any surprise names around the show, maybe an NXT call up tonight or tomorrow???

Enjoy

Bye for now

Andy
