1 Dean Ambrose (c) vs. AJ Styles
2 Alexa Bliss vs. Becky Lynch vs. Carmella vs. Naomi vs. Natalya vs. Nikki Bella
3 The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) vs. The Hype Bros (Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley)
4 TBD vs. Heath Slater and Rhyno Tag team tournament Final
5 Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt
6 The Miz (c) (with Maryse) vs. Dolph Ziggler

Trying to figure out how this is going to be three hours long.

Such a mediocre card.

Reminds me of all of those sad SD! PPV cards at the end of the previous brand split. It already feels like this thing has lost momentum and it's less than two months old.

Hard to build better matches with only half the roster available.

The brand split is going to be tough on PPV's.

They'll prolly add a last minute match like crews and Corbin

The SD roster is a little depleted, even with the brand split still think RAW is overpopulated, they got the cruiserweights coming and seem to have first dibs on anyone from NXT, so hoping SD to get guys like Zayn and Cesaro midcarders who could elevate themselves to potentially be more

Styles (clean)
Ziggler by DQ (yuck, wish Ziggler would go away)
Becky
Uso's
Wyatt

Assuming Corbin vs Kalisto gets added (if Kalisto is healthy)

Prediction: Ambrose/Styles will go 30+ minutes

I think AJ/Ambrose goes pretty long as well.

I think the women's match goes pretty long. Since its an elimination match, I think they can easily do a 15+ minute match and keep it relatively fast paced.

card looks meh but think it turns out to be a good show
as for predicitions

1 Dean Ambrose (c) vs. AJ Styles (i think Ambrose wins via DQ setting up a survivor series match, but can see this going over 30 minutes and being at least being a **** 1/2 star match)
2 Alexa Bliss vs. Becky Lynch vs. Carmella vs. Naomi vs. Natalya vs. Nikki Bella (still think Lynch winning it would be too obvious and Lynch's character is set for the struggle, too early for Bliss still and please no on Natalya, EDM Naomi would be interesting though)
3 The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) vs. The Hype Bros (Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley) (they need a heel team in the final)
4 The Usos vs. Heath Slater and Rhyno Tag team tournament Final (for nuclear heat)
5 Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt (one can only hope)
6 The Miz (c) (with Maryse) vs. Dolph Ziggler (think this leads to several things happening, miz getting in bryan's face and ziggler heel turn and he leaves bryan and/or shane mcmahon a broken mess, maybe even bloody).

I wouldn't be surprised to see The Uso's align with Styles tonight

If Bray Wyatt loses tonight I'm officially abandoning all hope. He might as well go kill it in NJPW or TNA or something.

Apparently Orton is out tonight due to not being cleared.

Gonna be a looooooong night.

Well that certainly doesn't help.

That would be awesome.

Agree.

The card is down to five matches, and the WWE haven't announced any additions at all.

Leaving it pretty late in the day to gain any extra interest.

Samoa Joe debut would be nice

No one is touching DB because he's not cleared to have any physical contact at all.

Backlash set/stage is the same as Smackdown (which I don't hate).

Just make the Big 4 shows have unique set/stages.

They are still promoting the match. I wonder what's going to happen.
