Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch vs. Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans, Winner Take All Match for the Universal and Raw Women's Titles: What a troll job it would be for the heels to win. But no; the babyfaces pick up the victory.
The Undertaker & Roman Reigns vs. Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre, No Holds Barred Match: I'm tempted to say Shane and Drew just so we can get to Shane vs. Roman again for Roman to ultimately win. But it's hard to see the heels winning. Taker pins Drew.
Kofi Kingston vs. Samoa Joe, WWE Championship Match: Kofi is basically playing with house money at this point; I'm not sure how many people envisioned his WrestleMania win going long-term. Joe absolutely deserves a title run, however, something tells me it's not his time yet. Kofi wins and retains.
Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross, 2-on-1 Handicap Match for the Smackdown Women's Championship: Bliss wins, then ditches Cross now that she's the champion.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Kevin Owens: Owens.
Daniel Bryan & Rowan vs. Heavy Machinery vs. New Day, Triple Threat Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championships: Bryan and Rowan win and retain.
Braun Strowman vs. Bobby Lashley, Last Man Standing Match: No contest when they just get TOO EXTREME
Ricochet vs. A.J. Styles, United States Championship Match: What the heck, Styles wins the title.
EDITED TO ADD:
The Revival vs. The Usos, Raw Tag Team Championship Match: The Usos win the titles. A back-and-forth title situation wouldn't be a bad thing with these two teams, as they are evenly matched.
Aleister Black vs. Cesaro: Black

Rollins and Lynch - just imagine running a company like WWE and thinking that Corbin and Evans should be main-eventing any single product you produce.
Reign and Undertaker Kofi Bayley - I think her pinning Cross gets us to Bliss v. Cross Gulak Ricochet Strowman - Sure, why not. New Day - I've been picking most everyone else to retain, and doing New Day with all the belts could be fun
Apologies for my lack of up to date knowledge so this could be completely wrong. Although that usually happens...
Seth & Becky is an absolute banker. No chance they lose. Reigns & Taker which leads to Drew v Taker at Summerslam. Kofi shouldn't lose to the former US champion a few weeks after he lost it. Gulak Ricochet retains but loses it soon after. Fluke roll up maybe. Strowman but I hope for Lashley and keep Strowman off TV for a few months. Heavy Machinery so there can be a title change. Not sure of the rules of the Bliss match - if Cross can win it then I will go for her so they can do the pretend friendship for a few weeks before Bliss beats her.
Assuming there will be a few more matches, which will probably be sorted tonight. At this guessing stage I will go with Cesaro, Maverick retaining his title and The Club beat someone.
Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch vs. Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans, Winner Take All Match for the Universal and Raw Women's Titles: I'm gonna go against the grain and say that Corbin finally wins the Universal Title here. I'm gonna say WWE are real assholes, in fact, and that the match ends when Lacey pins Becky.
The Undertaker & Roman Reigns vs. Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre, No Holds Barred Match: No way 'Taker and Reigns lose this match.
Kofi Kingston vs. Samoa Joe, WWE Championship Match: Kofi retains; I'm still not convinced Samoa Joe will ever be WWE Champion. (You'll recall I once said the same thing about AJ Styles, though.)
Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross, 2-on-1 Handicap Match for the Smackdown Women's Championship: Bliss pins Bayley to win the belt.
Drew Gulak vs. Tony Nese, Cruiserweight Championship Match: Gulak wins and retains.
Daniel Bryan & Rowan vs. Heavy Machinery vs. New Day, Triple Threat Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championships: Bryan and Rowan win and retain.
Braun Strowman vs. Bobby Lashley, Last Man Standing Match: BRAAAAAUN
Ricochet vs. A.J. Styles, United States Championship Match: Styles wins with The Club chicanery.
The Revival vs. The Usos, Raw Tag Team Championship Match: The Usos win. Am I predicting too many title changes here? Meh.
Aleister Black vs. Cesaro: No way Black loses after crying out for decent competition for so long.

I'm not really watching until smackdown comes to fox because I don't have cable, but I want to comment on Kofi Kingston vs. Samoa Joe, WWE Championship Match
Seems like Joe is about due to me and Kingston has the New Day thing. I think it goes to the Submission Machine.
We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center.

Originally posted by HokienauticFYI, not sure it will change things for anyone, but Lashley-Strowman is a Last Man Standing match, not No Holds Barred.
Duly noted.
@gregmparks - live Tweeting of Raw and Impact, wrestling thoughts and other slices of life.
Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch vs. Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans, Winner Take All Match for the Universal and Raw Women's Titles: They fake a Corbin/Evans win, restart the match and The Man and The Man's Man win and wear t-shirts and stuff.
The Undertaker & Roman Reigns vs. Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre, No Holds Barred Match: Shane & Drew via shenanigans so we get Roman/Drew yet again and for some reason Shane/Taker II at SummerSlam.
Kofi Kingston vs. Samoa Joe, WWE Championship Match: Kofi wins and sets up a stipulation match at SS.
Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross, 2-on-1 Handicap Match for the Smackdown Women's Championship: Miscommunication leads to a Bayley win.
Drew Gulak vs. Tony Nese, Cruiserweight Championship Match: Gulak wins and retains.
Daniel Bryan & Rowan vs. Heavy Machinery vs. New Day, Triple Threat Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championships: Heavy Machinery win somehow at least until the rematch Tuesday.
Braun Strowman vs. Bobby Lashley, Last Man Standing Match: Not caring about Braun matches is still a weird thing. Lashley wins due to interference by god who cares.
Ricochet vs. A.J. Styles, United States Championship Match: AJ via Club interference.
The Revival vs. The Usos, Raw Tag Team Championship Match: Revival.
1) Rollins/Lynch vs. Corbin/Evans (Winners Take All - Universal and Raw Women's Championship) - Rollins stomp/Lynch Disarm-her combination to retain titles. A Corbin/Evans win will result in a riot in Philly, inside and outside of the arena.
2) Undertaker/Reigns vs. McMahon/McIntyre (No Holds Barred) - Undertaker with the Tombstone Piledriver on McIntyre after Owens chases McMahon out.
3) Kingston/Samoa Joe (WWE Championship Match) - Kingston by DQ for Joe's use of championship belt on Kingston.
4) Bayley/Bliss/Cross (2-on-1 Handicap Match - SD Women's Championship) - Bayley pins Cross after Bliss miscommunication, but is deliberate as Bliss attacks Cross after the match.
5) Gulak/Nese (Cruiserweight Championship) - Gulak with the rollup after Running Nese miss.
6) Bryan & Rowan/New Day/Heavy Machinery (Triple Threat Match for the SD Tag Team Championship) - Bryan with the knee to retain.
7) Strowman/Lashley (Last Man Standing Match) - Strowman wins after a powerslam off the stage through a table.
8) Ricochet/Styles (US Championship Match) - Styles wins title with Styles Clash from the corner turnbuckles.
9) Black/Cesaro - Black with the Black Mass.
10) Revival/Usos (Raw Tag Team Championship) - Revival with the rollup/use of tights to retain.
Add-ons as of 7/14.
Owens/Ziggler - Owens with a stunner in a short match.
Balor/Nakamura - (IC Title Match - Preshow) - Balor with Coup De Grace to retain.
Will Lesnar appear: Yes, but in a suite. So, no cash in for now, probably waiting for the Fox debut in October.
I'm going to this show and reallly wish we were getting Balor/Nakamura and the IIconics/Asuka & Sane on this card, instead of say, the "Graveyard Dogs" tag match.
Rollins & Lynch
Taker & Roman
Kofi Kingston
Bayley
PHILADELPHIA'S OWN HOMETOWN HERO Drew Gulak
Bryan & Rowan
Braun Strowman
AJ Styles
Aleister Black
The Revival
I could deal with Sting getting a run on Smackdown while Luger got to play a sort of Hogan post 2002 title win role (ie. putting over anyone and everyone they can think of before sending him home).
