WWE World Heavyweight Title Fatal 4-Way: John Cena vs. Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton vs. Kane

Battle Royal: I bo-lieve it's Bo Dallas' for the taking.

Divas Title: AJ via DQ

Rusev/ Swagger: Rusev via shady methods

Tag Titles: Wyatt Family

Ambrose/Rollins: Rollins

Jericho/Wyatt: Wyatt

WWE Title: Cena

Battle Royal: Tough one. Bo Dallas, Shamus, Cesaro, Miz, Ziggler & Del Rio could all walk away with it. I'll say Bo Dallas

Divas Title: AJ, and Paige goes crazy & heel after the loss

Rusev/ Swagger: Rusev

Tag Titles: Wyatt Family

Ambrose/Rollins: Rollins, but I would't be shocked by an Ambrose win. It wouldn't be burying Rollins, but they DO usually bury the MITB winner for a few months after the win for some reason.

Jericho/Wyatt: Wyatt

WWE Title: Cena, then Lesnar comes out and destroys him, which leads to rollins coming out and then ambrose spoiling the cash in)

This is a pretty good card. They can't really veer away from predictable endings at this point, but, it should be a good storytelling show.

Yeah, for a throwaway show between two big shows, this is a decent card.

Naomi
Rusev
Ambrose
Wyatts (Wyatts, Usos, Wyatts)
AJ
Jericho
Dallas
Cena

Also I'm predicting there will be a filler match between Damien Sandow and Adam Rose that Rose will win.

Aww, so close. It's Rose v Fandango, not Sandow.

What's going on with bray? He keeps losing.

I'm still laughing at how Jillian said "the bacon intercontinental championship match".

I was 2-3 on predictions, and I'm scratching my head as to why the Wyatts keep losing as well.

Keeps this feud going tho. Jericho usually loses, he needs a win in the feud to keep it going since it was Bray that started it. Jericho will lose the feud overall tho.

Bray Wyatt is boring, his shit is played out.

Jericho needed a win, he's only just come back. It's a shame how everyone is turning on Wyatt, it doesn't help that he's in a feud against someone people actually like this time.

I like Wyatt. I don't see what everyone is complaining about. Because he has a catchphrase that he uses alot? That he does the same thing week in, week out? So does every wrestler to ever step foot in the ring. That's wrestling.

I'm glad Wyatt lost because 1) it allows the Jericho feud to extend to SummerSlam and 2) not every over character needs to win every match they are involved in. If they are as over as they seem, they can afford to lose matches (Jericho's been doing it for years) so its fine with me... plus no-one saw it coming, which is always a bonus.

Yea, I get that wrestlers can lose and it doesn't hurt their momentum. But has the WWE fallen out with him, or is he getting booed at arenas?

I like him, and he's one of the few people I don't skip past when I have raw on.

He's a heel, he should be booed. Fans love his different character tho so getting fans to boo him is a good thing as they're not turning the group face. Best thing he can do is make the fans hate him.

No, it's because he's using lots of words to say nothing. It's gotten really forced over the last month or so, to the point where they've added phone lights to his entrance video to cue the fans, and he's calling himself a monster again. What real monster would have to tell us that he's a monster? Shouldn't that be obvious? The delivery is great, but there's no content.

He started taking off against Cena because no one likes Cena. He was a fresh alternative for people to get behind, whether we were supposed to or not. Now he's in a program with a face that people actually like, so he's back to the heel role where he's just another interactive entrance.

It doesn't help that he lost the Cena feud so comprehensively. He lost clean at WrestleMania, got the worst kind of win in a cage match, then was destroyed in the last man standing. Now he loses to Jericho clean too, and claims "I don't care about losing the battle, I want to win the war." Great. How about that war he lost against Cena? He doesn't care about that either.

I just dont see how these losses are hurting him. Whether they are cued to or not fans bring out the phones (if it was Zack Ryder I doubt many would even if they were cued) and they give him a strong ovation.

What Wyatt says makes perfect sense to me. Example: spoke about how Jericho is never there because hes with his band and Wyatt is always there and even when Jericho is there he still gets the upperhand because of that (brutal) finisher in the locker room.

People expect too much. Hes a unique character with a certain amount of creative freedom. Hes more entertaining than say Orton and Kane who are supposed to be massive stars but barely get a reaction anymore.

What exactly do you expect from the guy? With this character hes still technically a rookie. He may not be stealing the show week in week out but I really dont see any cause for complaint.

^ It's what chux says, he uses a lot of words to say nothing. He's trying to come off as mysterious but it's just boring, I love the entrance by the way. I think he's decent enough in the ring but a character like his needs to be proactive and doing some big all the time or else you just roll your eyes hen he's trying to pretend to be a monster. I think the feud with Cena killed him a bit. And let's be honest, Jericho's returns have lost their novelty.

Jericho's returns may have lost their novelty but as long as he's consistently delivering in the ring he can return as many times as he pleases.

It's quite hard to talk like Bray does without sounding like your waffling on a bit but I think enough of what he says makes sense to make it acceptable. Sure the odd promo is pointless and unexpectedly hollow but he's had a few great promos and I think the promo last night on RAW wasn't too shabby at all.

It's clear what his problem with Jericho is; he comes back when he wants to, when he feels like it, when he gets bored with Fozzy etc. while Wyatt is there week in week out... and he wanted to take out Jericho to prove he was better. Obviously at Battleground Jericho got the win suddenly and Bray was caught off guard but that obviously just fuels him further for the real "big" match between the two which will be at SummerSlam, probably with some Street Fight-like stipulation, which of course Wyatt has to win.

It isn't exactly a groundbreaking feud but I'm enjoying what I've seen so far.

So this is the same feud Cena had with Rock. Of all people on the roster, Wyatt is the one I'd least expect to have a problem with a guy not paying his dues.

If it's hard to talk like he does without delivering empty promos, don't give him so much promo time. If he doesn't have anything to say he shouldn't say anything. He's a cult leader, his words are supposed to be important. And again, he should never call himself a monster, he should call himself a saviour and let Cole call him a monster.

The entrance is incredible, I wouldn't change a thing. I just don't like this current trend of making so many guys an excuse for audience participation. Fandangoing was cool when it was "our" thing and flopped when WWE started encouraging it. Emma's dance isn't catching on, Adam Rose's theme isn't getting over like it should either. Cueing the lights takes the spontineity out of it, taking it out if our hands.

I agree he shouldn't call himself a monster... that is the one thing he's done that I didn't like.

Also a bit off topic but I found Triple H's pseudo-rant at all the IWC on RAW cringeworthy. It clearly annoys Triple H that the smarks have so much to say he made that kind of obvious.

The fans on the internet are easily worked, much easier than they like to admit. Triple H's comments ruffled a few feathers the smarks have been replying to it, he's an expert at pissing off internet nerds since they hate him the second most.

Wyatt's gimmick doesn't have a long shelf life unless everything he's doing feels important.

But seriously does anyone care about Y2J's returns anymore? The guy comes back twice year for pointless feuds.

I got around to watching this show last night... i was out of town and really couldn't be bothered to watch this right after a wild weekend of live music..

i should have just read the results this wasn't a very good show at all especially when you compare it to wwe's past few major shows...
Don't really care that Jericho won.. if Wyatt won then what would be the point of it then.. might as well go to summerslam with it in a gimmick match.

I think Bray is my favorite guy in a long time... i dunno something about him is just neat.. i don't know how well his bayou southern cult leader gimmick comes off across the pond.. but in america it's just funny... we have had real life morons who say a lot of what he says so it's easier to just cheer him on and enjoy it almost like a spoof which granted it should not be... it's kinda like Waylon Mercy, but off a bit.. Waylon would claim to be a good old guy and very polite but was just an evil heel who would shake his opponent's hand before a match and run at them like a killer with a knife when they turned their backs to him.

Bray probably should also claim to not be a monster, but a hero and inspiration.. but i guess his bro took that line...

I think he could eventually work as a face too.
