Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Braun Strowman, Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship: Feels like Braun is in it to take the fall to stretch out Lashley vs. Drew. I'll say Lashley wins, he and Drew hook up again soon.

Roman Reigns vs. Cesaro, Universal Championship Match: Reigns wins, but hopefully Cesaro turns enough heads to have something meaningful to do moving forward.

Bianca Belair vs. Bayley, Smackdown Women's Championship Match: Belair wins and retains.

Rhea Ripley vs. Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair, Triple Threat Match for the Raw Women's Championship: Flair wins the belt. Feels like Ripley has underwhelmed since her title win.

Bobby Roode & Dolph Ziggler vs. Rey & Dominik Mysterio, Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match: Would be a cool story for Rey and Dom to win, and there's no real reason to keep the titles on the Dirty Dawgs (unless WWE wants to put the titles back on the Street Profits). I'll go with father & son winning, but maybe not the titles.

Damian Priest vs. The Miz, Lumberjack Match: Priest really needs to win this one.

1) Lashley/McIntyre/Strowman (Triple Threat for the WWE Championship) - Lashley with the Spear on Strowman to retain.

2) Ripley/Charlotte/Asuka (Triple Threat for the Te aw Women's Championship) - Flair pins Asuka with roll up with feet on ropes not seen to win title.

3) Belair/Bayley (SD Women's Championship Match) - Belair retains via KOD.

4) Reigns/Cesaro (Universal Championship Match) - Reigns retains via submission, but Cesaro passes out.

5) Roode and Ziggler/Mysterios (SD Tag Team Championship Match) - Mysterios win title by 619/top rope splash, Likely short run, ending in Mysterios split and loss of tag titles.

6) Priest/Miz (Lumberjack Match) - Priest wins with Hit the Lights after Morrison interference backfires.

This seems like a crazy short card. Are we giving Cesaro/Reigns an hour? Maybe Bailey/Belair?

Lashley
Flair
Belair
Reigns
Los Mysterios (as an aside, I love the way we retconed Rey Mysterio so that Mysterio is his last name. Raymond Mysterio, I guess)
Priest

It's the most important meal of the day.

I'm a couple days late on this, but I see nobody had Army of the Dead in their picks :)

Completely irrelevant in this case. For true athletic contests, the proof of how something 'should' be is whether it is effective and whether it brings you a win. Who cares if it looks 'smooth' as long as it works?
