After the celebrity guest-host era where 90% of them had there tongues planted firmly inside there cheek and even in the last year with people like Michael Strahan and the Today Show women that clearly didn't take it very seriously. And even Jon Stewart who is clearly a fan and has respect, but it was very comedic which is I guess understandable since he's a comedian. Regardless, its super cool that you've got a celebrity that is all-in and is taking it completely seriously. And I've heard certain people who've said he's not that big a star an opinion that I've heard is shared by some really higher-ups, and that's a super simple-minded view. There's a lot more crossover with his show's audience and the wrestling audience than there is with some daytime talk show.

Rant aside, I'm going with Brock, Cena by DQ, Owens, Neville and Amell, Ryback, a no-contest/double DQ for the Wyatts vs Reigns and Ambrose, Paige, Charlotte and Beck, New Day and Orton.

Kids have got to be loving the Stephen Amell stuff. They've done a great job with it.

Predictions:
Brock/Taker has to set up Wrestlemania somehow. That means either Taker wins (setting up a rubber match) or Sting interferes or something like that.
Safi's suggestion of a DQ for the Cena/Rollins match is interesting...it means the belts would NOT be held by the same person. I still see a Rollins win, though.
Cesaro/Owens: Cesaro wins, but I can see *that* one being a DQ.
Amell-Neville over Stardust-Barrett. As Shoemaker writes, celebrities don't come to WWE to eat pins.
Miz wins the IC title.
Reigns/Ambrose beat the Wyatts by DQ when a new 3rd family member appears. One suggestions I've heard in various places is that it's going to be Leo Kruger.
Orton over Sheamus. Should be an actually decent match but the outcome isn't really interesting.

Does Ambrose turn heel?

If I were to guess I'd say Reigns is the one that turns.

One of them better. At the very least they should plant the seed on Sunday.

Yeah, I'm thinking one of them could turn heel, or as you said, set either up to turn heel at some point in the near future.

I know this would suck, but Kane might be a swerve for the Cena-Rollins match. DQs the match, feuds with Rollins for taking him out. They'd still have Taker-Brock, so they might be more inclined for a screwy finish.

Completely possible this means nothing, but, Adam Rose tweeted a week or two ago that Leo Kruger is officially dead.

How long has Kane been out BTW?

Nowhere near long enough.

I actually thought there might be some interference from Kane in the Taker match. They're trying to get across that Taker's a heel right now and what better way to heel him up than by having him need outside interference from Kane?

Certainly a possibility, I guess they can use Sheamus for Cena-Rollins match (I can't see either of these guys walking away with both titles, although if Sheamus cashes it during the match, does he win both titles in that case?). I think two sort of screwy finishes wouldn't be very good, but they may use it to setup their Wrestlemania matchups.

Having your two main events ending with a screwy finish is pretty terrible but I don't see it happening any other way. Based on Cena's and Rollins new merch, I don't see their feud ending tomorrow or Cena winning the belts; Cena will win via dq. You can't have Lesnar lose to a guy that only works 1 or 2 days a year. If the WWE wants Taker to stay relevant come WM season, he can't be beaten tomorrow. I think Lesnar wins by DQ when Taker kicks him in the dick again. Sting will show up and set up Taker v Sting at WM.

If you're on the SS card tonight, you've got to be thinking "how in the hell do we follow last night's NXT Takeover?" Owens v Cesaro should be quality but the only match with potential to be better than anything on NXT, imo, is Cena v Rollins.

Packers at noon then SS at 530. Looks like I won't be leaving my couch much today.

**** this crowd. "What" chants are the dumbest thing ever. For all the great things Austin did, I'd probably trade them to get rid of the stupid chants.
