WWE CHAMPIONSHIP - IF SETH ROLLINS FAILS TO RETAIN, KANE IS FIRED AS DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
Seth Rollins (c) vs. Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Randy Orton
As if the outcome weren't crystal clear to begin with, they add an unnecessary stipulation to paint the picture for you. I'd love to see Ambrose win, but I think the foregone conclusion on his involvement in this match is that he's there to take the fall, but I'd love to be surprised
King Barrett vs. Neville
Wade's coming off a KotR win that had a match of the year candidate as it's headliner. They're just trying to recapture that magic for one night while people are watching and might pay for the PPV or the network to see the hype they missed. I'd say it's also too soon for Neville to win the IC title, but i doubt WWE shares that kind of mentality, because that would mean they valued the gold in some way shape or form and weren't prone to hotshotting it. Needless to say, this is probably the least predictable match on the card based solely on the fact that the WWE gives two flying fucks about their midcard division. Should be a good match though.
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS - 2 OUT OF 3 FALLS MATCH
The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E w/ Xavier Woods) (c) vs. Tyson Kidd & Cesaro w/ Natalya
This seems like a go-home stip for this feud, and while New Day definitely has the heel heat to hold the gold and at least make it interesting, Kidd and Cesaro are over. FACT.
Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler
UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSIP - I QUIT MATCH WHERE IF CENA LOSES, HE DOES NOT GET A REMATCH
John Cena (c) vs. Rusev w/ Lana
I'm hoping against hope that in a feud where Rusev has no momentum, and Lana's turning face because...well, hot, that maybe that molotov minx of a woman is playing us all and will help Rusev win. It's not ideal, and Rusev will still look like shit by winning this way, but it gets Cena out of the US title picture.
Ryback vs. Bray Wyatt
Man I want Bray to win...I really do, but this feud seems to be going nowhere fast, and it's another case where Bray's in a feud that stands to elevate no one involved. I just wish the WWE would learn how to book him.
Naomi & Tamina vs. The Bella Twins (Brie Bella and Nikki Bella)
The feud's just starting, and I think the WWE might actually like Naomi, so maybe the wonder twins will lose here and we'll get a feud for the division that we need with AJ gone and Paige out.
The Meta Powers (Curtis Axel and Macho Mandow) vs. The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor)
Battle of the identity crisis. Unless in some strange twist, megapowers explode and we get some sort of alt-dimensional time shift where Curtis turns on Sandow and forms some form of nWo with the Ascension...you know what? I'm putting way more thought into this than the WWE has. I'd still love Axel to show up late for the match in time for a hot tag, only for Book to blurt out "But who side he on, man?!"
