Total points = 18

This event could drastically change the standings in the KIA contest, lol

Women's Royal Rumble
Winner: Sasha Banks
Explanation: I don't know I feel like Charlotte's gonna screw Becky in her title match, culminating the feud at Wrestlemania. Ronda doesn't have any threat at Raw really and I bet that storyline won't end immediately. SD Women's Title is wide open for anyone.

Men's Royal Rumble
Winner: Drew McIntyre
Explanation: Whoever wins the Universal Title match is a perfect match for Drew.

Finn atm could be a paper champion and they can easily play the chasing underdog story with him.

Or they do a subtle turn for him and be the face that eventually dethrones Brock. It just makes sense the way Heyman was building him up. Or, Paul can swerve Brock and sides with Drew. Although I'd rather have him as a face.

Universal Championship Match
Brock Lesnar (C) v Finn Balor
Winner: Demon Balor
Explanation: He says he won't don the paint. Doubt it. He needs that persona and I hope they built the demon prior to this match, weekly segments with the demon whispering to Finn how he can help him against Brock. Adds another layer of mystique to his character.

WWE Championship Match
Daniel Bryan (C) v AJ Styles
Winner: Daniel Bryan
Explanation: It just works. Heel DB is good for business.

SmackDown Women's Championship Match
Asuka (C) v Becky Lynch
Winner: Asuka
Explanation: Charlotte interferes here.

Raw Women's Championship Match
Ronda Rousey (C) v Sasha Banks
Winner: Ronda Rousey
Explanation: I'm thinking Sasha not tapping to the arm bar. Rousey let's go out of sympathy and eventually pins Sasha on her beat up arm so she can't raise her shoulder. Ultimate underdog, feel good moment if this match comes before the rumble where Sasha comes in last to a mega pop and winning.

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match
The Bar (C) v The Miz & Shane McMahon
Winner: The Bar
Explanation: Filler match with a lot of close calls where Miz costs the team the L and beats up Shane, setting up an unnecessary feud.

United States Championship Match
Rusev (C) v Shinsuke Nakamura
Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura
Explanation: Both need the win so I hope Shin passes out to the Accolade so he won't look weak.

Edited this one. I think a Lana distraction costs Rusev his title. Reconsidered the winner since I want the three Japanese to form a heel faction.

Cruiserweight Championship Match
Buddy Murphy (C) v Akira Tozawa v Hideo Itami v Kalisto
Winner: Hideo Itami
Explanation: Murphy is awesome but you just can't feel his presence. It's time for WWE to repay their good soldier Hideo. Marketing strategy to the Japanese audience, and getting some eyes out of NJPW.

BONUS:
How many titles will change hands? (+1)

Women's Royal Rumble
Winner: Becky Lynch
Explanation: (maybe she gets screwed over for the smackdown womans, enters the womans rumble and wins)

Men's Royal Rumble
Winner: Strowman
Explanation: No idea, just a feeling really, could very well be Rollins but i would be underwhelmed and they may be going somewhere with this McMahon storyline with Braun, wouldn't surprise me if they have him doing a McMahon feud.

Universal Championship Match
Brock Lesnar (C) v Finn Balor
Winner: Lesnar
Explanation: I think it will be close, but i think Lesnar could drop, but not to Balor.

WWE Championship Match
Daniel Bryan (C) v AJ Styles
Winner: Bryan
Explanation: Saviour of the planet will finally win against Styles. Styles gets into a lower end feud, Bryan gets a fresh feud (Nakamura or even a New Day one, which would be comedic gold).

SmackDown Women's Championship Match
Asuka (C) v Becky Lynch
Winner: Asuka
Explanation: Shenanigans from Charlotte

Raw Women's Championship Match
Ronda Rousey (C) v Sasha Banks
Winner: Rousey
Explanation: Bit like the Balor match, Sasha will get a very good showing but come up short, probably the closest match Rousey will have.

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match
The Bar (C) v The Miz & Shane McMahon
Winner: The Bar
Explanation: Got to start that Miz vs McMahon feud somewhere

United States Championship Match
Rusev (C) v Shinsuke Nakamura
Winner: Rusev
Explanation: I think this is a good indication as to whether or not WWE is going to give Nakamura that money, or they will set up that Nakamura vs Bryan match (Nakamura could easily be a face again).

Cruiserweight Championship Match
Buddy Murphy (C) v Akira Tozawa v Hideo Itami v Kalisto
Winner: Itami
Explanation: He better win. The man has how many titles, its about time he got some WWE gold.

I added this in to the prediction not discussion because I just found put. But I get what you mean.

Damn 7/18! This is why I won't qualify with the creative. I agree that you can ace KIA if you think like Vince.

Hey, since the RR is over, the season of pointing to the WM sign is back. How 'bout predictions on who'll point the most?

Problem is that it's tough to know whether you're going to get a show where Vince throws the fans a bone and actually has some fan favorites win or whether it's going to be one of those shows where it feels like he's using the booking to give the fans the finger.

NOTES:
improper, I did not give you a point for your women's royal rumble prediction as you put Becky AND Charlotte winning when only Becky won. If I gave you a point for your Becky prediction, what's stopping people from putting down 2-3 guesses.

iMoreland, you're a dork that would have won this PPV. You predicted Becky to win the rumble (which you were right!) but your final 4 didn't include Becky. Please explain your thought process to the rest of us.

Lmao, I changed my pick last minute and forgot to change that

Becky deserves to be in the main event for WM. Sorry, but she’s currently the biggest and most over star in the company. The women deserve to close the show this year.
