Readers of the blog, it's been a while hasn't it? sometimes a break is needed, that is now over and we are back! it's a New Year, Yes it is! Day One is the first WWE event on the calendar, the match card looks interesting, check out the line up including the predictions.
WWE RAW Tag Team Championship Match
RK-Bro (c) vs. Street Profits
The Street Profits won the RK-Bronament by defeating The Mysterio's in the finals, will they win tag team gold at Day 1? The answer is no. Orton and Riddle have great chemistry, it is way too early for them to have troubles before they move on to their singles feud. Winners: and still RAW Tag Team Champions. RK-Bro.
Drew McIntyre vs. Madcap Moss
Predicting a "shock" win for Madcap here, after Corbin gets involved in this match. Predicted Winner: Madcap Moss.
Edge vs. The Miz
Edge and Miz have had their differences as of late on different segments on RAW to enhance this story, in terms of the winner of this match? I pick Miz with an assist from Maryse. Predicted Winner: The Miz.
SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match
The Usos (c) vs. New Day
This is another chapter of the tremendous rivalry between two great tag teams, it is sure to be one of the matches of the night, if not THE match of the night, expecting to see Jimmy and Jey retain when all is said and done on this occasion, until the two teams meet again in the near future. Predicted Winners: and still SmackDown Tag Team Champions. The Usos.
Fatal Four Way Match for the WWE Championship
Big E (c) vs. Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens vs. Bobby Lashley
Seth Rollins won a ladder match in late October on RAW to become number one contender, the match soon became official for Day 1, soon Kevin and Bobby earned their way to become included in this match through victories of their own, you can make a case for a new champion being crowned, however, the thought is that the title will not change hands here, another prediction for this match is for E to pin KO for the win so Seth can have a valid argument that he wasn't pinned, thus setting up a match against the WWE Champion at the Royal Rumble later this month. Predicted Winner: and still WWE Champion. Big E.
RAW Women's Championship Match
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Liv Morgan
This is the rematch from the early November episode of RAW where Becky retained the title by holding on to the ropes for the victory, Liv wanted a rematch after saying the champion cheated, during the same promo/segment Becky injured Liv's arm and accepted the challenge, the challenger will bring a great fight, but it won't be enough to pick up the win. Predicted Winner: and still RAW Women's Champion. Becky Lynch.
Universal Championship Match
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Brock Lesnar
The last time these two great competitors met for the Universal Championship was at Crown Jewel, with "The Head of The Table" emerging victorious, since then, so much has happened in terms of story, including Paul Heyman being fired by Roman, a week before Christmas. Heyman will be the x-factor in the closing moments of this contest, who will he end up helping? the belief is Roman, showing everyone watching it was a set up from the beginning from the champion and Heyman to ensure the championship stays in The Bloodline. Predicted Winner: and still Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.
Enjoy the show if you are watching.
Happy New Year.
