Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman, Universal Championship Match: Hopefully, this lives up to expectations. Strowman wins the title so they can eventually do a rematch where Lesnar will win so as to keep him champion heading into WM.
John Cena vs. Roman Reigns: My fear is this leads to Reigns winning and Cena doing the whole "respect" thing and shaking Roman's hand. But will it happen here? Cena wins and we get a rematch at some point down the line where Reigns will reign supreme.
Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins vs. Sheamus & Cesaro, Raw Tag Team Championship Match: Sheamus and Cesaro regain the titles, with perhaps Ambrose and Rollins beginning to tease problems again (too soon, yes, but it's WWE).
Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley vs. Nia Jax vs. Emma vs. Sasha Banks, Fatal Five-Way for the Raw Women's Championship: Bliss wins and retains, leading to Bliss vs. Jax for the title.
Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt: Balor wins the feud here.
The Miz vs. Jason Jordan, Intercontinental Championship Match: Sure, Jordan wins. Sink or swim, bud. Last gasp attempt to make the Jordan/Angle thing work.
Neville vs. Enzo Amore: Hoping they replace Amore with Gran Metalik after Braun's attack on Amore on Raw. Short of that, Neville wins and retains.

Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman, Universal Championship Match: Strowmen wins by DQ or Count out
John Cena vs. Roman Reigns: Roman. This whole thing is wwe hopping that Having Roman beat Cena clean makes him popular
Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins vs. Sheamus & Cesaro, Raw Tag Team Championship Match: Ambrose & Rollins
Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley vs. Nia Jax vs. Emma vs. Sasha Banks, Fatal Five-Way for the Raw Women's Championship: I fear Emma is only in this match to lose so Bliss wins after pinning a freashly dead Emma after nia jax kills her
Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt: Balor
The Miz vs. Jason Jordan, Intercontinental Championship Match: Miz, I think it's to soon for Jordan
Neville vs. Enzo Amore: Neville in probably the shortest mach of the night

On paper, this is easily the best show they've put on all year. Let's see if they can deliver for once.
Strowman - Hey, maybe the belt should be with a guy who's actually on the show. Just an idea. Cena - They smartly called out the Cena/Rock feud, and I figure they'll just do what they did there. Put the established guy over first, then run a rematch where Reigns gets the win.
Bayley - This is a genuinely hard call, if they're going to toss a curve-ball at the last minute, then do something with it. Ambrose/Rollins - Although, you could do a lot with a loss, too. Balor - Kill this feud already Jordan - Gotta go somewhere with this Neville - All hail the KING!
Strowman (please oh please) Reigns Sheamus and Cesaro Bliss Wyatt Jordan Neville

Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman, Universal Championship Match: Pull the level, Kronk! It's TIME to give Braun the belt.
John Cena vs. Roman Reigns: Reigns wins, we get a rematch out of respect or some nonsense next month.
Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins vs. Sheamus & Cesaro, Raw Tag Team Championship Match: Ambrose/Rollins miscommunication leads to the Bar winning.
Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley vs. Nia Jax vs. Emma vs. Sasha Banks, Fatal Five-Way for the Raw Women's Championship: Bliss wins due to Banks/Bayley miscommunication. I feel like I make some of these same predictions monthly.
Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt: Balor, of course.
The Miz vs. Jason Jordan, Intercontinental Championship Match: Jordan wins, Miz wins it back Monday.
Neville vs. Enzo Amore: Enzo winning would KILL the cruiserweight division. I can halfway see them doing that, but I'm going to say Neville.
Lesnar. I just find it hard to believe they will change their long term plans even though everything shows they should. Hopefully they make Strowman look very good and gets close to winning. This is the big downside of the Goldberg matches where it shows Lesnar can lose, and also lose quickly. Joe looked good for a few minutes before losing too quick after that. Strowman should win so the title is on TV with someone that people are in to.
Cena needs to win this so there can be another match or 2 before he finally admits Roman is the best of all time so he can beat Lesnar at Mania. Will he? Not sure but I hope so, so I will go with him.
Ambrose and Rollins Bliss to keep the title for a bit longer to stop quick changes. Balor so it can finally finish. Not sure where either goes from here. Miz should win but needs a cheap win so Jordan feels cheated and looks good in that. Neville. Please. Anything else is a massive mistake.
Not sure if there will be any other matches. If so Hardys win and Elias wins. Maybe!

Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt: Bray. Surely he can't keep losing. Right?
The Miz vs. Jason Jordan, Intercontinental Championship Match: Jordan wins via pregnancy scare scenario I haven't fully thought out.
Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman, Universal Championship Match: Lesnar retains; he's not losing it until WrestleMania.
John Cena vs. Roman Reigns: REIGNSWINSLOL

1) Lesnar/Strowman (Universal Title Match) - I can't see Strowman losing clean. I think it is going to end up a no-contest as Strowman spears Lesnar through the LED boards on the stage.
2) Cena/Reigns - Cena with the AA, then disappears for a while.
3) Shei (Ambrose & Rollins)/Sheamus & Cesaro - Rollins boot to Ambrose Dirty Deeds to retain the title.
4) Alexa/Bayley/Sasha/Emma/Nia (Fatal 5-Way Title Match) - Emma with a fluke pin to shock the world.
5) Balor/Wyatt (Man vs. Man) - The Demon King isn't there, just Balor in a torn leather jacket. Wyatt with Sister Abigail to finally finish this rivalry.
6) Miz/Jordan (Intercontinental Title Match) - Miz with the Skull Crushing Finale to retain. If Jordan wins, it would have to be on Raw.
7) Neville/Enzo (Cruiserweight Title Match) - Neville with the Red Arrow, then the Rings of Saturn to retain.
A) Elias/Crews (Kickoff Match) - Not watching it, NFL is priority, but PPV watching on Tuesday and only the main card. Elias with Drift Away, just for the record.
Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman, Universal Championship Match: Lesnar wins meaning that he and the WWEUC are missing from the next gimmick heavy TLC PPV.
John Cena vs. Roman Reigns: I'm going to take a huge risk and assume that WWE has a story-telling plan here and not just a lame arse, shamelessly contrived torch passing moment that will be universally shat on. Cena wins
Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins vs. Sheamus & Cesaro, Raw Tag Team Championship Match: Ambrose and Rollins win and retain
Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley vs. Nia Jax vs. Emma vs. Sasha Banks, Fatal Five-Way for the Raw Women's Championship: Bliss wins and retains, leading to Bliss vs. Jax for the title.
Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt: Wyatt wins with a gay spooky assist.
