Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar, WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match: I think Rollins retains. Do they do a Rollins vs. Lesnar rematch for Summerslam, or give Lesnar something fresh for the big event? Who else would be at Lesnar's level for Summerslam? Reigns? I think Reigns vs. Wyatt goes multiple shows, so that's out. They would only have one month to build something new, too, so I guess it would have to be Lesnar vs. Rollins again. All of this said, I'll officially say Lesnar wins by DQ or something to lead to Summerslam and perhaps a stipulation re-match.
John Cena vs. Kevin Owens, United States Championship Match: This is where Owens should take the title. Cena had a good run, but how far can he go with it? He's built the title back up into something valuable, now it's time to move on. Owens will have some fresh opponents to work with, too.
Bray Wyatt vs. Roman Reigns: No way this match ends cleanly. I'll say Wyatt via DQ when Reigns' anger gets the better of him.
Sheamus vs. Randy Orton: Let's say...Sheamus, because they're in St. Louis.
The Prime Time Players vs. The New Day, WWE Tag Team Championship Match: I think New Day wins the titles back here.

* Rollins retains, and his destruction of Kane maybe sets up this HHH feud for Summerslam. Lesnar loses due to some interference from....I don't even know who could be lined up for him at Summerslam.
* Cena wins, LOL * Wyatt * Orton wins, via the 'MITB winner is a loser' rule * Ryback retains * New Days regains the belts
After over 13 years and 6800 posts, was finally named W of the Day on 3/21/2015. It's now all worth it!
They can't be stupid enough to put the belt back on Lesnar, so Rollins retains somehow, probably by screwjob.
Kevin Owens is probably the safest pick on this whole card. Cena rebuilt that championship just so that it would mean something when Owens takes it off him.
I'm going to take Bray Wyatt in another screwy finish. I think Roman probably gets himself counted out.
Ryback retains.
Conventional wisdom says that the Money in the Bank winner should look strong, so I say Randy Orton takes the win in this, the 1,427th match in his and Sheamus's best-of series.
New Day Socks.
I also predict that I don't watch the preshow match.
I'm surprised to see so many Owens votes. This whole storyline has been building to Cena eventually losing the title on Raw during one of the open challenges....not on a PPV.

Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar, WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match: The Rollins reign has gone in such a way that him beating Brock on Sunday would be unbelievable. It would literally NOT be believable, so to get him out with the belt would call for some unholy shenanigans. Sheamus pulls a Rollins and cashes in to turn THIS into a Triple Threat match. Brock kills Sheamus dead, but Rollins steals the pin, thus allowing him to retain and Brock AGAIN doesn't get pinned. Is it ridiculous? Absolutely! But I'm willing to hang my hat on this scenario happening.
John Cena vs. Kevin Owens, United States Championship Match: Last Monday makes me wonder if we're not getting some insane nonsense here. Interference from both Cesaro and Rusev ensure Cena retains via DQ. We got some sort of wacky gauntlet match at Summerslam.
Bray Wyatt vs. Roman Reigns: "Anyone but you." That would have been a fine concept of a feud to run with...BEFORE WRESTLEMANIA! Of course that's the feud premise now that people are actually coming around on Roman. TIMING! Roman wins. Bray goes...who the hell knows where?
Ryback vs. The Miz vs. The Big Show, Triple-Threat Match for the Intercontinental Championship: Ryback retains in a boring match.
Sheamus vs. Randy Orton: Sheamus wins to keep building him up and keep the streak of jobbing hometown heroes alive.
The Prime Time Players vs. The New Day, WWE Tag Team Championship Match: The Prime Time Losers Players have grown on me here, so I'll say they retain on the New Day move on to become Authority lackeys or something.

That's not necessarily true. The challenge introduced KO, and lead to his first non-title win against Cena. The challenge set the table, but Owens coming out with the belt is a logical progression of that same story.
On a semi-related, but non-prediction based note, everyone should follow Simon Gotch on twitter. He is the new internet champion (sorry Zack Ryder).
Other predictions: Rollins wins via shenanigans
Kevin Owens wins because Owens introduction has gone so correctly they can't possibly screw it up now. Right?
Reigns/Wyatt ends in a no contest and the feud continues.
Ryback retains and I fall asleep
Shemus wins and I continue sleeping
Husband wakes me up for a Divas 3 on 3 on 3 cluster-fuck that has Sasha Banks at the end looking strong setting up someone to finally take the belt of Nikki at Summerslam (or whenever she passes AJ's streak). Alternately, Team Bella wins and I get mad at husband for being woken up for this shit.
"We caught it in time thanks to the great WWE medical team" has to be a bizarre dig at CM Punk, but that's a whole different conversation, I'd imagine.
Lesnar by DQ - title stays with Rollins Cena because, well he's Cena Bray Wyatt because he needs a win Ryback, for being hurt and not involved in this match Sheamus New Day Barrett
Life is hilariously cruel.
It ain't the six minutes... it's what happens in that six minutes.
Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar, Rollins retains - as someone else said, by a Lesnar win via DQ. Because this must go on.
John Cena vs. Kevin Owens, United States Championship Match: Owens. Clean. He feuds with Cesaro and Rusev and Cena goes on to do basically the same thing with either the intercontinental or tag championships.
Bray Wyatt vs. Roman Reigns: Wyatt - because this must go on.
Someone vs. The Miz vs. The Big Show, The Big Show - because he is big and a show. Now, if they come out and strip Ryback of the title because he can't defend and call out anyone from the back to fill Ryback's slot, I can see it being a just recovered from his match with Owens Cena.
Sheamus vs. Randy Orton: Orton
The Prime Time Players vs. The New Day, WWE Tag Team Championship Match: New Day. Because they clap better.

Cena/Owens. I mean its going to be Owens, I mean what kinda of bullshit would they go through to build this guy up and then lose two straight big PPV matches to...Cena? Oh yeah..its going to be Cena.
Wyatt/Reigns. Wyatt. The reformation of the Wyatt family.
Ambrose vs. Miz vs. Big Show. Ambrose, because they owe him. A lot.
Sheamus/Orton. Orton. They are going to pull a retread of Mania with Orton beating Sheamus and Sheamus cashing it in only for Sting to stop him.
PTP/New Day. New Day is their best fun thing since Santino. That is why they will lose. PTP.
The big take away from this will be Sting and Taker getting involved in the main event.
Seth via shenanigans Owens Reigns Big Show (if some form of that match is still on. It's gone from the match listing on WWE.com.) Orton New Day Barrett
