Thoughts & Predictions

Later tonight, live on Peacock, it’s the WWE and Saturday Night’s Main Event. Only four matches have been announced as of now, so that should make this an easy read. Are you ready for prediction time? Let’s do this.

AJ Styles versus Shinsuke Nakamura.

We’re building towards a retirement match for AJ next week, so do you really think AJ is going to lose a match here? Shinsuke is a phenomenal performer, and it will be an instant classic of a match, but unless we get a fluke finish due to Gunther, this one is rather predictable.

Winner: AJ Styles.

Fatal Four-Way to challenge WWE Champion Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble.
Sami Zayn vs. Trick Williams vs. Randy Orton vs. Damian Priest.

I don’t see it being Trick or Priest. Trick is too new, while Priest and Drew have already done this before, and Priest has no momentum right now. A return to Judgment Day would do wonders for him. So, Randy or Zayn? I keep hearing that WWE has big plans for Zayn at Mania, so this spot and match against Drew belongs to the man with the plan, the master of the RKO, Randy Orton.

Winner: Randy Orton.

Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu.

Are there any stipulations for this match, or is it just a regular match? Look for a fight and a DQ finish. It’s too soon for Fatu to lose, so he’ll get disqualified instead.

Winner by DQ: Cody Rhodes.

WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions IYO SKY & Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan & Roxanne Perez.

It doesn’t feel right seeing the women of Judgment Day without tag team gold, but WWE seems strong on the idea of Rhea and Iyo as a team. I’d rather see them as singles, only teaming every so often, but I’m not writing this stuff, and I’m not the boss. What the hell. I’m going to call it anyhow. Look for Judgment Day and a few other teams to get involved, setting up a big match for the Royal Rumble and beyond. And Judgment Day gets the win.

Winners and NEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions: Liv Morgan & Roxanne Perez, Judgment Day.

And there you go, my predictions for the big show on Saturday night, tonight. So, am I right or wrong? Let me know what you’re thinking in the comments. Who are you rooting for? Inquiring minds want to know. And with that, I’m out of here. Stay well, my friends, and thanks for the continued support. I’ll see you at the matches.
