Brock Lesnar vs. Rey Mysteiro, No Holds Barred Match for the WWE Championship: Rey has done a really nice job in the feud thus far, but I don't see him going over Brock.
"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt vs. Daniel Bryan, Universal Championship Match: I'll go with the Fiend winning and retaining.
Becky Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Shayna Baszler, Triple-Threat Match: I'd love to see Baszler win here, depending on what shape she's in after the War Games match the night before. It would actually give her a nice "out" here if she's hurting, so I'll officially go with Bayley, who could use the win more than Lynch.
Team Raw Men (Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, Randy Orton, Kevin Owens) vs. Team Smackdown Men (Roman Reigns, Mustafa Ali, Baron Corbin, Braun Strowman, Shorty G) vs. Team NXT Men (Ciampa, Keith Lee, Damian Priest, WALTER, Matt Riddle), Survivor Series Elimination Match: Team NXT, Ciampa and Riddle.
Team Raw Women (Charlotte Flair, Natalya, Asuka, Kairi Sane, Sarah Logan) vs. Team Smackdown Women (Sasha Banks, Carmella, Dana Brooke, Nikki Cross, Lacey Evans) vs. Team NXT Women (Rhea Ripley, Toni Storm, Mia Yim, Tegan Nox, Candice LeRae), Survivor Series Elimination Match: I kinda feel like the NXT folks have to win at least one of these two elimination matches if WWE wants fans to buy them as an equal brand to Raw and Smackdown. A couple of the key NXT women will be coming off the War Games match, though, so Team Raw wins with Flair and the Kabuki Warriors surviving.
A.J. Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Roderick Strong, Triple-Threat Match: Styles wins.
The Viking Raiders vs. New Day vs. The Undisputed Era, Triple-Threat Tag Match: Viking Raiders pick up the victory.
Adam Cole vs. Pete Dunne, NXT Championship Match: Seems Cole should win this.

Please note that Adam Cole will be defending the NXT Championship against the winner of a triple-threat match between Damian Priest, Killian Dain, and Pete Dunne at WarGames the night before.
The RAW and NXT Women's Teams have been announced, but as I sit here at my keyboard at 6:40 a.m. on Sunday, the NXT Men's Team still hasn't been.
Brock Lesnar vs. Rey Mysterio, No Holds Barred Match for the WWE Championship: I'm gonna say that Rey shocks the world here and wins the WWE Championship.
"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt vs. Daniel Bryan, Universal Championship Match: Wyatt wins and retains.
Becky Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Shayna Baszler, Triple-Threat Match: Baszler wins. I originally predicted that Baszler would be part of the winning WarGames team, and that she'd also win here, but the former didn't happen.
Team Raw Men (Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, Randy Orton, Kevin Owens) vs. Team Smackdown Men (Roman Reigns, Mustafa Ali, Baron Corbin, Braun Strowman, Shorty G) vs. Team NXT Men (TBA), Survivor Series Elimination Match: I'll go with the RAW men's team. Ricochet for RAW and Ali for SmackDown are made to look like the future megastars they are.
Team Raw Women (Charlotte Flair, Natalya, Asuka, Kairi Sane Sarah Logan) vs. Team Smackdown Women (Sasha Banks, Carmella, Dana Brooke, Nikki Cross, Lacey Evans) vs. Team NXT Women (Rhea Ripley, Candice LeRae, Bianca Belair, Io Shirai, Toni Storm), Survivor Series Elimination Match: All of these teams look beatable. SmackDown probably looks the weakest. I'll go with NXT.
A.J. Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Roderick Strong, Triple-Threat Match: Nakamura wins.
The Viking Raiders vs. New Day vs. The Undisputed Era, Triple-Threat Tag Match: Undisputed Era win.
Adam Cole vs. Pete Dunne, NXT Championship Match: Dunne for the win and the title.

Most of these matches have no tangible stakes or lasting impact, making this really, really tough. Let's see:
Rey, what the hell. Fiend Lynch - I love Baszler as much as almost anyone else, but there's no planet that Lynch should lose this match on. Smackdown Men NXT Women Styles Viking Raiders And I'll take Cole to retain, regardless of opponent (which should be Pete Dunne, which will be rad)
Brock Lesnar vs. Rey Mysteiro, No Holds Barred Match for the WWE Championship: No way Rey wins. I'm guessing Dominick interferes trying to help dad but it backfires somehow.
"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt vs. Daniel Bryan, Universal Championship Match: Fiend wins, no sells most of Bryan's stuff and the boos eventually start.
Becky Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Shayna Baszler, Triple-Threat Match: Bayley sneaks a win.
Team Raw Men (Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, Randy Orton, Kevin Owens) vs. Team Smackdown Men (Roman Reigns, Mustafa Ali, Baron Corbin, Braun Strowman, Shorty G) vs. Team NXT Men (TBA), Survivor Series Elimination Match: Team SD, Roman and Ali are the survivors. Ali looks like a star.
Team Raw Women (Charlotte Flair & TBA) vs. Team Smackdown Women (Sasha Banks, Carmella, Dana Brooke, Nikki Cross, Lacey Evans) vs. Team NXT Women (TBA), Survivor Series Elimination Match: This is the match NXT wins.
A.J. Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Roderick Strong, Triple-Threat Match: Styles wins.
The Viking Raiders vs. New Day vs. The Undisputed Era, Triple-Threat Tag Match: Undisputed Era.
Brock Lesnar vs. Rey Mysteiro, No Holds Barred Match for the WWE Championship: Lol Brock Smash Puny Human
"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt vs. Daniel Bryan, Universal Championship Match: This Fiend
Becky Lynch vs. Bayley vs. Shayna Baszler, Triple-Threat Match: Is Baszler a real name? Seems oddly close to Brazzers. Becky Lynch wins
Team Raw Men (Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, Randy Orton, Kevin Owens) vs. Team Smackdown Men (Roman Reigns, Mustafa Ali, Baron Corbin, Braun Strowman, Shorty G) vs. Team NXT Men (TBA), Survivor Series Elimination Match: Team Smackdown because $$$ ruins everything
Team Raw Women (Charlotte Flair, Natalya, Asuka, Kairi Sane, Sarah Logan) vs. Team Smackdown Women (Sasha Banks, Carmella, Dana Brooke, Nikki Cross, Lacey Evans) vs. Team NXT Women (Rhea Ripley, Toni Storm, Mia Yim, Tegan Nox, Candice LeRae), Survivor Series Elimination Match: Raw Women
A.J. Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Roderick Strong, Triple-Threat Match: Woderwick
The Viking Raiders vs. New Day vs. The Undisputed Era, Triple-Threat Tag Match: Viking Raiders
Adam Cole vs. Pete Dunne, NXT Championship Match: Pete Dunne for no reasons
Wyatt. Hopefully quickly and none of the takes everything without feeling or selling anything.
Baszler. She can lose the title to Ripley now and move to the 'main' roster around the Rumble time.
Mens NXT - Rollins and Reigns face off as that is what everyone worldwide wants to see. Or Vince does anyway. Hopefully Ali looks good. Shorty G eliminated within seconds.
NXT women are a great team, but expect Raw to win. Hopefully NXT will look very good, as they should.
Styles. This has potential to be a good match, so will probably last around 9 minutes.
New Day so they can keep the Kofi being happy story going.
Cole beats Dunne in, another possible, great match.
NXT could steal the show here. A few months ago they probably wouldn't have been part of this at all, but they might make them look strong for the viewing figures on Wednesday. Especially where the results don't really matter in the brand v brand v brand, so they might actually do it. Or Vince might wonder why any of them are taking part and quickly eliminate them all so he can get to the Raw v Smackdown fight that everyone wants to see!
He was as casual a fan as you could be for almost all of the 90s and 00s, IIRC. He did WrestleMania running diaries and that was about it. EDIT: The podcast was really good.
