US Title: Kalisto vs. Ryback... Barring a major gimmick overhaul,I think The Big Guy is dead in the water. Kalisto wins, and I wouldn't be shocked to see Ryback get his pink slip, soon. Dolph Ziggler vs. Baron Corbin... Corbin in a fairly competitive match. Intercontinental Title: The Miz vs. Cesaro...The world probably wants Cesaro to win, but I'd like Miz to be champ a little longer. I think he wins with help from Maryse. Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens...Total toss-up, but I go with KO. Dean Ambrose vs. Chris Jericho...Dean needs a big win. Tag Team #1 Contenders Tournament Final: Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs. The Vaudevillains....Gotch and English utilize dastardly methods to gain victory. Cass and Enzo will be ok without winning the title, for a while. WWE Women's Title: Charlotte vs. Natalya.....Charlotte. Bret and Flair engage in old man shenanigans. Roman Reigns vs. AJ Styles for the WWE Championship.....I know I'm in the vast minority, but AJ doesn't come across as a star, to me. I don't think he ever gets a run with the WHC. Reigns wins, with Gallows and Anderson costing AJ the match, either "accidentally" or on purpose.

Much like last year, I think this show will over-deliver. Vinnie Mac always has something up his sleeve, and I don't expect this time to be any different. My predictions.... Total Divas beat Team B.A.D. and Blonde The Usos beat The Dudleyz Kalisto retains vs Ryback and goes on to feud with newly heeled Sin Cara ATGMBR is won by either Mark Henry or Bray Wyatt New Day over LON. Supposedly, New Day will have a fourth member on their team. AJ Styles beats Y2J, rather decisively Becky beats Charlotte and Sasha for the Divas title. Owens retains the IC title in the seven man ladder match Dean Ambrose beats Brock Lesnar in the street fight, with possible Wyatt interference. Shane beats Taker in HIAC. Cena, Austin, and maybe even the Mean Street Posse interfere. Reigns beats HHH to become the WWE World Champion, with help from his former Shield brothers Dean Ambrose and a returning Seth Rollins. This leads to a Shield vs Balor Club feud.

If they go through with Shane-Taker, it will be much like HHH-Sting, from last year. I'm talking cameos by everyone from Daniel Bryan to Steve Austin.

My usually inaccurate predictions... Kalisto retains the US Title over ADR. I think Sin Cara turns heel, and we see Kalisto vs Cara at Mania. Becky/Sasha beat Tamina/Naomi. Wyatts beat ShowKaneBack rather decisively. Styles beats Jericho KO retains over Ziggler. I think we see Owens vs Styles at Mania. Charlotte retains vs Brie. The main event is going to be fun, but there's absolutely no way Reigns doesn't win against Ambrose and Brock. It's gonna be HHH vs Roman at Mania, and that's just how it is. Don't pretend it's going to be anything else.

Hogan vs Jake Roberts would have been money.

Either Trips wins and becomes champ, or wins and eliminates himself. If the latter occurs, I say Bray Wyatt wins, with help from his "family".

The only potential matches I've been able to come up with are these (and I'm horrible at fantasy booking)... Roman Reigns vs. Triple H, Brock Lesnar, or Kevin Owens(a definite dark horse). Brock vs. Roman, Owens, Bray Wyatt, or Sheamus. Undertaker vs. Owens, Sheamus, Kane, or a very dark horse Daniel Bryan. some kind of 4 way ladder spot-fest for either the US or IC title featuring some combination of Kalisto, heel Sin Cara, Dean Ambrose, Owens, Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler, Tyler Breeze, Sheamus, Neville, or dark horses Finn Balor and Sami Zayn. Tag titles with New Day vs Uso's, or two of the four LON, or maybe Big Cass and Enzo. Divas title with Charlotte vs Becky Lynch, Paige, a Bella or two, Sasha Banks, or Natalya. Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal (won by Mark Henry, or Neville). No idea what they'll do with AJ Styles or Nakamura. The shock of all shocks would be ether of those guys in the man event vs Reigns, or facing off with Brock.

I think he'll definitely wind down his career this year, and probably have his final match at Mania 33 vs. someone like Sami Zayn or Chad Gable.

CM Punk will lose his UFC debut match,quite decisively. The Young Bucks will finally end up in NXT. A major singles push will begin for Kalisto. Miz will quietly wind down down his in-ring career, and become a heel manager. Before the end of the year, Kevin Owens will be WWE Heavyweight Champion, and Apollo Crews will be NXT champion. Undertaker will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and subsequently retire. Chris Jericho and Mark Henry will both retire, as well. WWE future endeavorings will include Fandango, Summer Rae, Jack Swagger, Adam Rose, and most surprisingly, Jerry Lawler. Hulk Hogan will slowly and subtly be introduced back into the WWE Universe, and make an appearance at WrestleMania 33.

I think they should do what the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has been doing over the past few years, and conduct a fan vote. Put up a poll containing eight or ten potential inductees, and see who people choose.

It's really time for either Cyndi Lauper or Andy Kaufman to be inducted.

I'm in Northwest Ohio, and the BW3 in my town still does Mania's. Watching Mid-South on the Network, and Joel Watts is doing commentary. He makes Byron Saxton look like Jim Ross, in comparison.

This is a great point. People are "cutting the cord" in record numbers. I'm actually considering doing so, myself.

Even more reason to love Vince. F'ing awesome.

Savage, Andre, Warrior, Dusty and Piper all dead. Hogan is a shell of himself. I guess Ric Flair is the only real icon of 80's wrestling we have left.
