It’s time to go north of the border as we’re in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for the match and as has been the case for a couple of years now, the present is centered round WarGames. We’ve a males’s and ladies’s version, with the lads’s centered across the Bloodline civil battle, with CM Punk and Paul Heyman being added in to essentially spice issues up. That ought to be sufficient to make the present work so let’s get to it.
Intercontinental Title: Bron Breakker(c) vs. Sheamus vs. Ludwig Kaiser
That is the persevering with saga of Sheamus making an attempt to lastly win the Intercontinental Title, which has been arrange for years now earlier than WWE really pulls the set off. That opens up the opportunity of WWE going there this time round, although I’m undecided if that’s what they’re going to do. Breakker holding onto the title is definitely a risk, however Kaiser has been ding some very good work not too long ago as properly.
I believe I’ll go along with Breakker retaining right here as you don’t need him shedding the title once more so quickly, however on the identical time, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Kaiser steal the belt. Sheamus nearly has to win the title in some unspecified time in the future, which might make for a heck of a WrestleMania second if that’s the place they need to go. For now although, I’ll take Breakker to retain, because it’s the most suitable choice in the meanwhile.
United States Title: LA Knight(c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
Right here we now have the opposite midcard title match, which is a bit simpler, as Nakamura returned and went after the title, even misting Knight within the eyes. Knight isn’t blissful and is able to combat, as is Nakamura more often than not. Knight is in a bizarre place as he’s a preventing champion however this feud was simply form of dropped into place out of nowhere with little connection between them. Alternatively, Nakamura has been gone for months so he wants one thing to do.
I’m undecided what to do right here however I’ll go along with Knight retaining the title, presumably by way of DQ, as I don’t suppose that is it for the 2 of them. Knight shouldn’t be shedding the title so quickly however Nakamura shouldn’t be shedding his first large match again. We’ll say Nakamura mists Knight once more for the DQ to arrange a rematch the place Knight can go over clear, however for now they do one thing to increase the story.
Uncooked World Title: Gunther(c) vs. Damian Priest
It is a rematch from Summerslam the place Gunther beat Priest for the title, albeit with assist from Finn Balor. This time round it ought to be a bit extra of a straight up match, although on this case Priest is getting inside Gunther’s head. Gunther appears to be questioning whether or not he can really beat Priest, who has proven that he’s able to profitable a combat relatively than a match.
That being stated, I can’t think about the title modifications right here, as Gunther appears poised for some main matches going ahead. We’ve already seen Priest having a serious run with the belt so he can lose right here to provide Gunther the clear (properly probably cleaner) win that he didn’t get at Summerslam. I’m undecided what’s subsequent for Priest in the meanwhile, however he doesn’t have to get the title again. But.
Ladies’s WarGames
Now we get to the point of interest of the present, as a pair of ragtag teams come collectively within the largest workforce match that WWE has all yr. Bayley is a final minute substitute for the (presumably) injured Jade Cargill and that has the radar going up. Somebody attacked Cargill and there’s a good likelihood that the attacker might be revealed through the match. That very properly could value the workforce, and odds are that’s the place this goes.
I’ll take Group Jax to win right here, probably by some form of betrayal when the attacker reveals themselves. Bianca Belair herself could be a possible solution to go (probably, not essentially logical), with Naomi presumably taking the autumn. Both approach, that is going to be about what occurred to Cargill and odds are we discover out a giant piece of that puzzle this week, particularly with the final minute change having to happen.
Males’s WarGames
That is the massive one although, as CM Punk and Paul Heyman are again to assist minimize off the Bloodline as soon as and for all. I’m undecided how that’s going to go, however on the finish of the day it will be the most recent chapter within the large drama. Heyman very properly might activate Reigns or they may combat off the Bloodline once more. Both approach, we might be in for one thing relatively large, which is the purpose of the entire thing.
I believe I’ll go along with Reigns and firm profitable right here, simply because the workforce has been overwhelmed down so many instances these days. Sooner or later they must win one thing again and beating the Bloodline in WarGames could be a great place to begin. I’m undecided the place it goes from right here, however for now, the Bloodline takes a loss, probably with one of many Tongas getting pinned to assist protect Sikoa’s standing.
General Ideas
This present is totally stacked, with three title matches and a pair of WarGames matches. That’s a reasonably good lineup for one night time and I need to see the way it goes. We’re moving into the fascinating time in WWE’s calendar as we now have this, then two weeks earlier than Saturday Night time’s Fundamental Occasion after which it’s time to prepare for the Royal Rumble. This present is each a part of the tip and a part of the start and the items are there for a relatively superior present if every part goes as deliberate.
