It's a 6 man non title match

I just woke up! I am a boob

[Infinit]

What are the chances of the IC and US titles switching shows? 

[MonteCarl]

Going from Rusev and Miz as champs to Ryder and Darren Young?? I sure hope not.

[RIPPA]

I can totally see Darren Young winning just so RAW has all the titles (since I think it is fairly obvious RAW is taking the WWE Title)

I mean that is totally something the company would do

IC might stay on SD as long as Cena's on the roster.  He needs to win the white belt to complete the grand slam.

[HumanChessgame]

So whose turn is it to get the win in the Owens/Zayn match this month?  Since they're both on the same show it's pretty much a given that the feud will continue, so there's some gimmick match set up for SS?

I'm guessing Nattie/Becky and the IC match get bumped to the preshow.

Did they announce if the world title match was one fall or not?  If so I'm going by my completely off the wall prediction that Rollins and Ambrose double-pin Reigns and thus we get two titles.

[Web Conn]

I have a feeling that Sasha's partner is gonna be Bayley unless Nikki Bella has been cleared to wrestle then it is totally gonna be Nikki

[RIPPA]

I think in order of likelyhood it is

Bayley

Nikki

Paige

[CSC]

If they choose Nikki or Paige, clearly their plan is to try to get the crowd tired of booing by the time before Roman goes out there.

[droneking]

I'm going with Nia Jax, which will lead to the inevitable turn.

[Spritenaut 32]

Alvarez (?) or someone claimed last night that the mystery partner would not be Bayley.  I think it was Alvarez that said that

I'm still holding out hope that it's the new woman out of Puerto Rico that they just signed, Salvia Vega.

.....

 

.......

I'll show myself out now.

Edit: Yeah, Nia Jax would make some sense.

[RIPPA]

Yeah - I forgot Nia was drafted to RAW.

I put her above Paige.

I am waiting for the WON to hit online because Dave already promised to have a write up on what is going on with Bayley

[RRR]

I'm going with the Rollins win only because I could totally see Roman losing so he can start from the bottom as a sympathetic baby face on the Jeff Hardy redemption trail even though the guy is getting more boos and has more crowd heat then anyone in the company and they will not rest until we cheer and love Roman.

Don't know how Paige would make sense since the whole feud started with a Paige/Banks vs Brooke/Flair tag match less than a month ago.  I know it's WWE, but I'm thinking it has to be someone new.

[Niners Fan in CT]

I think Rollins takes the WWE title back to RAW and then cuts a promo to open the show on how it's HAHAHA AMBROSE and there's nothing Dean can do because he's on SD! 

Then Steph cuts a similar HAHAHA Shane and Bryan you suck! your show doesn't even have a champion!

[Cristobal]

Why does WWE not want us to watch Smackdown?

And then Shane will open Smackdown by saying that Steph and Bryan made a lot of good points. but Smackdown will focus on bring fresh new faces to sports entertainment and introduce theirnnew signing MVP and make a main event of Cena/Orton/Ziggler vs Kane/ADR/Wyatt

There's gotta be a fairly decent chance that Gallows and Anderson turn on AJ (after he takes the fall from Cena of course) and unite with Finn on Raw.

I was hoping all 4 would wind up on the same show so they could do this angle over a period of time with Balor joining them and he and Styles gradually developing a rivalry before Gallows and Anderson turn on Styles and spark a feud.  That's too easy of an idea for creative to actually go through with it though.

I also thought about that, but wouldn't that turn AJ face? That would be his second turn in a very short timespan and all the other main event level stars on Smackdown (Ambrose, Cena, Orton) are also faces, so I don't think it will happen.
