John Cena vs. A.J. Styles vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin vs. The Miz vs. Bray Wyatt, Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship: Orton vs. Wyatt seems like a lock at Wrestlemania, and in order to get there, Wyatt will have to win the title here.
Alexa Bliss vs. Naomi, Smackdown Women's Championship Match: This could be a good match given both of their athleticism, but Bliss will prevail.
American Alpha vs. Heath Slater & Rhyno vs. The Usos vs. Breezango vs. The Vaudevillains vs. The Ascension, Tag Team Turmoil Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship: This seems wholly unnecessary. Alpha retains.
Mickie James vs. Becky Lynch: Like Bayley, Lynch is best at chasing what she's after. I think James gets the win, probably by cheating, leading to a rematch.
Randy Orton vs. Luke Harper: Harper has potential as a babyface singles, but Orton just won the Rumble, so he wins here.
Nikki Bella vs. Natalya: I'll go Nikki winning here to gear up for her big Mania match.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Apollo Crews & Kalisto, 2-on-1 Handicap Match: I'm thinking this'll end up on the pre-show (along with maybe one more here), but until it's official, I'll treat it as being on the PPV proper and give a guess of Ziggler going over.

Is this the first-ever WWE PPV with three women's singles matches? Anyway, onto the picks....
Mickie James Nikki Bella Randy Orton Dolph Ziggler (where is this heel turn going, btw?) American Alpha Alexa Bliss Bray Wyatt
George Michael weighed his options. Maeby had chastised him for not taking risks, and what would be a bigger risk than perpetuating a lie about software just to ignite the passions of a woman? Of course it would be a lie, and since Maeby wouldn't know it was a lie, he wouldn't appear to be taking a risk. Perhaps the bigger risk was to tell his father he was lying, that he came up with it because he wanted his father to leave so he could enjoy what remained of his senior year. After all, he wondered, wouldn't that be the course of action taken by an overtly sexual man, a man who owns a pair of matador pants? He had not responded now for 41 seconds according to his unfailing internal clock, and it was time to come clean.
John Cena vs. A.J. Styles vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin vs. The Miz vs. Bray Wyatt, Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship: Wyatt.

John Cena vs. A.J. Styles vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin vs. The Miz vs. Bray Wyatt, Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship: Wyatt, though I sure WISH this was Styles
Alexa Bliss vs. Naomi, Smackdown Women's Championship Match: Bliss
American Alpha vs. Heath Slater & Rhyno vs. The Usos vs. Breezango vs. The Vaudevillains vs. The Ascension, Tag Team Turmoil Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship: American Alpha, since I don't see any plans for any of these groups for Mania, so no need for a status quo shake-up.
Mickie James vs. Becky Lynch: Lynch
Randy Orton vs. Luke Harper: Orton
Nikki Bella vs. Natalya: Nikki Bella
Dolph Ziggler vs. Apollo Crews & Kalisto, 2-on-1 Handicap Match: Ziggler because of chicanery!

I thought they should have put all these matches and Charlotte vs. Bayley and Sasha vs. Nia on the main under card of Royal Rumble. If you're going to showcase all the men in the Main Event why not showcase all the women on the under card (plus you could still throw in one big men's title match if you want)?
Predictions John Cena vs. A.J. Styles vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin vs. The Miz vs. Bray Wyatt, Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship: I'll second GRL. It seems inevitable this will be Bray but I really wish it was AJ. I think AJ vs. Orton is Smackdown's best new Wrestlemania match.
Alexa Bliss vs. Naomi, Smackdown Women's Championship Match: Bliss
American Alpha vs. Heath Slater & Rhyno vs. The Usos vs. Breezango vs. The Vaudevillains vs. The Ascension, Tag Team Turmoil Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship: What the hell, I'll go against the grain and say they swerve us with an Usos win. That Usos/American Alpha stuff was never actually resolved was it?
Mickie James vs. Becky Lynch: Mickie James
Randy Orton vs. Luke Harper: Orton
Nikki Bella vs. Natalya: Nikki Bella
Dolph Ziggler vs. Apollo Crews & Kalisto, 2-on-1 Handicap Match: Ziggler. I'm kind of hoping somebody shows up to help him and become a tag team, but I'm not sure who would fit the role. Is Kenny still on the roster?

John Cena vs. A.J. Styles vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin vs. The Miz vs. Bray Wyatt, Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship: Wyatt. We're totally locked in for WrestleMania now and I highly doubt we get Cena or AJ vs Orton.
Alexa Bliss vs. Naomi, Smackdown Women's Championship Match: Bliss.
American Alpha vs. Heath Slater & Rhyno vs. The Usos vs. Breezango vs. The Vaudevillains vs. The Ascension, Tag Team Turmoil Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship: American Alpha.
Mickie James vs. Becky Lynch: Lynch.
Randy Orton vs. Luke Harper: Orton.
Nikki Bella vs. Natalya: Natalya, maybe after Maryse interference.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Apollo Crews & Kalisto, 2-on-1 Handicap Match: Apollo and Kalisto.
John Cena vs. A.J. Styles vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin vs. The Miz vs. Bray Wyatt, Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship: Wyatt wins with help from Erick Rowan randomly reappearing or Luke Harper returning to the fold.
Alexa Bliss vs. Naomi, Smackdown Women's Championship Match: Naomi gets a surprise win, then loses it in the rematch let's say Tuesday.
American Alpha vs. Heath Slater & Rhyno vs. The Usos vs. Breezango vs. The Vaudevillains vs. The Ascension, Tag Team Turmoil Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship: The Revival.
Mickie James vs. Becky Lynch: Mickie gets the win and the feud must continue.
Randy Orton vs. Luke Harper: Orton wins, Luke looks lost which gives him reason to appear in a cloud of smoke or something later.
Nikki Bella vs. Natalya: Nikki.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Apollo Crews & Kalisto, 2-on-1 Handicap Match: Dolph wins.
John Cena vs. A.J. Styles vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin vs. The Miz vs. Bray Wyatt, Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship: Wyatt

1) Cena/Styles/Miz/Ambrose/Corbin/Wyatt (Elimination Chamber for the WWE Championship) - Start Order: Ambrose -> Miz -> Corbin -> Cena -> Wyatt -> Styles, Elimination Order: Miz by Ambrose (Dirty Deeds), Styles by Corbin (End of Days), Ambrose by Cena (AA), Corbin by Cena (STF), Cena by Wyatt (Sister Abigail) -> Wyatt wins title.

A) Rawley/Hawkins (Preshow Kickoff match) - Rawley by pin.
My first set of predictions to retain my title! Doubt it will happen...
Wyatt. I hope they change their mind on this but it looks like this is the way they are going. Should be a good match. Naomi by DQ or countout so Alexa retains Alpha Orton Mickie James with a sneaky win Nikki Crews & Kalisto and then Ziggler flips again and smacks them repeatedly with chairs and tables.
I remember during the days of DDT Digest they used to have a section called brushes with greatness. It basically contained stories of people meeting wrestlers outside of the ring. I was just curious if anyone had any stories to share.
