Finn Balor is not even booked for this PPV tonight. I definitely think once his contract is up he's going to do what Daniel Bryan was too scared to do.

Pretty sure it's a round robin-style tournament this time, so no eliminations.

My guess is he renews his contract for more money and less dates because WWE is scared to lose a big name. He's definitely never getting close to the Universal Title again but he might get a thank you WWE Championship reign for not leaving.

My excitement for Hell in a Cell is at pretty much zero. Same goes for Super Showdown in a few weeks. And Evolution isn't looking too hot either in the grand scheme of things. Hell, Survivor Series most likely won't be good either. I think the next time we'll actually see significant movement in any title scene is probably at TLC. I think the only singles title that has a chance of changing hands before then is the Smackdown Women's Title, and that's only if they decide to run champion vs champion again this year at Survivor Series.

If Joe doesn't beat AJ for the belt, who's left for him to face? Will they run a face/face program with Bryan or is he going to drop it to Miz or something?

This one.

AJ holds the belt until he passes Punk's reign. Then he drops to Miz, probably at the Rumble? Then Bryan wins the Rumble and beats Miz at Mania.

Excuse me, but we all know The Rock is going to enter the Rumble and win. And then challenge the Big Dog at Wrestlemania, so Roman can have another accolade tacked onto his record. "You are the real people's champ, Roman!!!"

Vince has figured out that he can trick people into thinking Wrestlemania will be good if he puts over somebody people will like at the Rumble, so expect it to be Bryan. Then the WWE championship will go on fourth from the top.

The stake was "Roman is involved", plus as we know it allowed people to leave early and beat the traffic.

Besides, for Finn, playing second fiddle to Reigns on a PPV is still better than not being on the PPV, or worse, fighting Corbin again.

Probably. The two rumble winners this year will likely be Daniel Bryan (Because The Miz) and Charlotte (Because Ronda).

If people keep being turned against Charlotte, expect Becky or Asuka to win the Rumble....and lose at Mania.

I fully expect us to get plenty of Becky vs Charlotte over the next few months. And I don't see Asuka winning the Rumble this year. The only two people I can see winning it are Charlotte or Alexa. And it will most likely be Charlotte since WWE seems hellbent on pushing her as the female face of the company. If there is backlash against Charlotte, they just won't make the match the main event.

Ideally we will probably get for the title matches at Mania:

Ronda (c) vs Charlotte for the RAW Women's Title

Becky (c) vs Asuka for the Smackdown Women's Title.

Assuming Becky wins the title either tonight, at Super Showdown, or Evolution, that will give her a nice long reign, and WWE can probably rebuild Asuka back into a credible threat before then to hopefully dethrone Becky (who will have had the title for roughly six months by that point).

I mean whoever is Smackdown Women's Champion after Wrestlemania is a moot point anyways, because they will likely drop the title to Alexa who will be moved over to Smackdown before (or soon after) Backlash.

I know it's your schtick to always be mostly wrong, but I don't know why Balor would leave since he probably has a good gig in WWE and probably enjoys working there.
