Rich Swann & Akira Tozawa vs. Brian Kendrick & Noam Dar: The Brian Kendricks & Noam Dar via Pinfall/Submission
Thoughts: I don't really have any...I mean I actually like Kendrick & Dar...
and I don't really care about Swann & Tozawa...so...go the heel team! Plus
they have an outside advantage with Alicia FFFUUUCCCCKKKKSSSS in
their corner.
Neville (c) vs. Jack Gallagher: Neville via Pinfall/Submission
Thoughts: Neville must retain...in fact Neville should hold the Cruiserweight
title for 500+ days before they even think of giving it to someone else.
Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax: Sasha Banks via Pinfall/Submission
Thoughts: Well...every time Sasha goes near Nia she ends up being turned from
the Boss to a Bitch (and I'm talking in prison terms here) but I think its
time for Sasha to strike back...and strike back hard. Sasha needs a win...
even if she has to get violent doing it.
Wild Card Booking Idea #1: Nia comes out first and when Sasha's music hits
she's nowhere to be seen. Sasha enters through the crowd and attacks Nia
with a crutch or a chair from behind (that's important) before the match
starts. Have Sasha target Nia's neck with the weapon shots and once the
match begins have Sasha work over Nia's neck with heel like aggression
before slapping on the Banks Statement and forcing Nia to tap out. Once
the bell is rung have Sasha refuse to release the hold and she has to be
forcibly removed by WWE officials.
Wild Card Booking Idea #2: Follow through with idea #1 but never actually
start the match and simply have Sasha lay Nia out with repeated weapon shots.
Gallows & Anderson (c) vs. Enzo & Cass: Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson via Pinfall/Submission
Thoughts: I honestly only care about Big Cass in this match...the other 3 just
personally annoy me. I'd say that Gallows & Anderson will retain...but it wouldn't
surprise me if they drop the belts because well...they've been booked like a couple
of idiots with or without the titles.
Sami Zayn vs. Samoa Joe: Samoa Joe via Pinfall/Submission
Thoughts: Now...I think Sami Zayn is an amazing all round performer...but...
and its a huge but...Joe needs to remain undefeated for as long as possible.
Joe needs to crush Sami with no remorse. This is one time where I would look
to see a squash match.
Of course it won't be a squash...in fact it will be the longest match on the card.
Wild Card Booking Idea #1: Finn Balor returns after Zayn has lost to fight
off Samoa Joe and possibly lead to a Wrestlemania match between the 2.
Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman: Braun Strowman via Disqualification/Count out
Thoughts: I just want Strowman to win...I don't care how...I just want him to win.
Wild Card Booking Idea #1: Undertaker shows up and costs Reigns the match
setting up the worst possible match for Wrestlemania.
Wild Card Booking Idea #2: Undertaker shows up and attacks both men setting up
a triple threat match at Wrestlemania.
Charlotte (c) vs. Bayley: Charlotte via Pinfall/Submission
Thoughts: I...I really want to care...but I'm nearly done with this. The RAW women's
division is a boring, repetitive mess. Now I love Charlotte & Sasha...but Nia Jax is
boring and nowhere near as intimidating as she should be (I blame seeing her tapping
out at Survivor Series and a lack of TV time)...and Bayley...well...I actually hate Bayley
now.
I hate the fact she's getting pushed at Sasha's expense...
I hate the fact she has no mic skills...
I hate the fact she has the Women's title without doing anything to earn it...
I hate the fact that she brings up her victories over Charlotte yet no one ever brings
up her repeated defeats at the hands of Nia Jax in singles and tag matches...
I hate the fact her character hasn't developed since making the main roster...
&
I hate the fact her finisher is a fucking standard belly-to-belly suplex...

And while I'm at it...
[HASHTAG]#takeizzywithyou[/HASHTAG]
[HASHTAG]#iwantahugfromcharlotte[/HASHTAG]
[HASHTAG]#sashadeservesbetter[/HASHTAG]
Now its no secret I want Charlotte to utterly crush Bayley...and there in lies the
problem. Everyone is expecting Charlotte to win...because...Charlotte Wins PPV lol...
but...it would not surprise me if WWE decided to have Bayley go over clean and break
Charlotte's streak.
Now as far as the overall story telling goes...it would be a shocking twist and could
help develop the tension between Sasha & Bayley...but at the end of the day...I'm over
caring...I really am. The only way I could actually give a flying shit about this match
is if Sasha attacks Bayley or even better...Emma returns as Evil Emma and lays both
Bayley and Charlotte out.
Wild Card Booking Idea #1: During the match Sasha arrives at ringside (even after
Bayley has asked her earlier in the night not to) and instead of helping Bayley...
Sasha attacks Bayley costing her the match and title. Sasha reveals the next night
that Charlotte agreed to give her a championship match at Wrestlemania if she helped
her regain the title. Bayley invokes her rematch clause for Wrestlemania setting up
a triple threat match which I would have Sasha win (through violent heel methods...
aka Crutch to the face!) setting up Bayley to chase the title and win it back at
SummerSlam.
Wild Card Booking Idea #2: The match plays out as normal and as just as Bayley begins
to rally for the win...when suddenly this music hits...
Evil Emma storms the ring attacking Charlotte first (giving her the win by DQ)
before attacking Bayley. Dana Brooke rushes the ring (and I mean actually runs to the ring)
to confront Emma...before joining with her to continue the attack both Charlotte & Bayley.
Sasha enters the fray next only to also be laid out. Emma grabs the mic and states that
"All the Horsewomen...will fall!"
Wild Card Booking Idea #3: Nia Jax arrives and lays out everyone (Charlotte, Bayley, Dana &
Sasha if she shows...giving Charlotte a DQ win) making the ultimate statement of dominance.
Wild Card Booking Idea #4: Sasha attacks Charlotte giving her the DQ win and keeping the belt
on Bayley. The Hugger confronts The Boss after the match only for Sasha to turn on Bayley and
attack her as well.
Wold Card Booking Idea #5: During a key point in the match Dana Brooke turns on Charlotte allowing
Bayley to get the win and break the streak. When Charlotte confronts her...Evil Emma attacks and
reunites with Dana.
But I doubt any of those ideas will play out...so...Charlotte FTW...Yay...
Kevin Owens (c) vs. Goldberg: Goldberg via Pinfall/Submission
Thoughts: Now I've expressed my opinions on this match in another thread...so all I will say is:
~ I want Owens to retain...I don't care how...
~ I don't want any "part timers" to hold any WWE titles...
Samoa Joe or Triple H may show up to help Owens...Jericho may show up to help screw over
Owens...Lesnar may show up...who the fuck knows.
But...all signs point to Owens getting the "CM Punk" treatment and Goldberg walking into
Wrestlemania as the Universal Champion only for him to drop it to Lesnar...who I'm guessing
will drop the belt to Reigns at SummerSlam.
I don't want to be right...but...I think we can all see it coming.
