Saturday Night time’s Predominant Occasion predictions
World Heavyweight Championship — Jey Uso (c) vs. Logan Paul: Uso is not dropping his world heavyweight title so quickly, and positively to not Paul. This match is designed to present the champion a win in opposition to an enormous crossover star. Paul’s success is not measured by win percentages, however by his relevance past the ropes. Uso ought to win cleanly earlier than rematching Gunther on June 9. Choose: Jey Uso retains the title — Shakiel Mahjouri (additionally Brent Brookhouse)
John Cena vs. R-Reality: On Oct. 31, 1989, The Genius defeated Hulk Hogan on Saturday Night time’s Predominant Occasion. Let me go forward and choose a little bit of that upset magic for Saturday night time and facet with Reality to get the win. The title is not on the road, so there isn’t any hurt in having just a little little bit of enjoyable when Cena does not actually have a transparent route for what’s subsequent, so somebody may even come assist Reality get the win and arrange Cena’s subsequent title protection. Cena’s title reign has misplaced momentum and perhaps a loss would drive him into extra of a rage and add a little bit of gasoline to issues. Cena likes Reality, so why would not he agree to present him just a little second on Saturday Night time’s Predominant Occasion? Choose: R-Reality wins — Brookhouse
Cena doesn’t have a title challenger two weeks faraway from Cash within the Financial institution. If he’ll defend the title on June 7, WWE ought to plant the seeds this weekend. Both somebody prices Cena the match with Reality, organising a title rematch, or somebody rescues Reality from a post-fight match beatdown, organising a recent match. The non-title match presents a uncommon alternative for Cena to lose, however I will break up the distinction and vote in opposition to Brent. Choose: John Cena wins — Mahjouri
CM Punk & Sami Zayn vs. Seth Rollins & Bron Breakker: The Rollins and Breakker union wants to remain robust this early into the story. That is a disgrace for Punk and Zayn, who seemingly aren’t in place to get an enormous win right here. I do not know that there is any want for any shenanigans to get to the outcome, Rollins and Breakker ought to get the victory and go away Punk, Zayn and the remainder of the locker room making an attempt to determine the right way to cope with this highly effective new group shifting ahead. Rollins can be on a path towards the world heavyweight championship, so he needs to be saved robust on this tag match. Choose: Seth Rollins & Bron Breakker win — Brookhouse (additionally Mahjouri)
Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre (Metal Cage Match): I am shocked the McIntyre-Priest feud continued past WrestleMania. McIntyre’s victory appeared like a pivot level for each males. WWE has booked the feud evenly, which means it is Priest time to stage the rating. I feel he’ll go away SNME together with his hand raised. Choose: Priest wins — Mahjouri (additionally Brookhouse)
