This train don’t stop…2 PPV in 2 weeks. It’s a RAW PPV this time round and it’s "Roadblock"

This is very different from last time we had Roadblock as it was a "mini-PPV" that was only on the WWE Network between Fastlane and Wrestlemania 32 earlier this year. Now this one is happening before the Royal Rumble PPV.

So let’s gooooooo!

(c) = Champion Bold = Winner

Kickoff

• Big Cass vs. Rusev – PREDICTION: Rusev. Cass doesn’t need to win this match as it should be a revenge match for Ru Ru. Should be a quick match

Non-Title Matches

• Seth Rollins vs. Chris Jericho – PREDICTION: Seth Rollins. It would be nice for Seth Rollins to be back on top and looking strong going into the Royal Rumble and thus Wrestlemania. Seth to win.

• Sami Zayn vs. Braun Strowman – PREDICTION: Braun. Braun is a brute and how this match was even thought of in the first place is beyond me.

Title Matches

• Sasha Banks (c) vs. Charlotte Flair in a 30-Minute WWE Iron Man Match for the WWE RAW Women’s Championship – PREDICTION: Sasha to defend. This belt has been hot-potato’d between the two of them over the last few months and this should be the end of the fued between the two of them for now. Should be a good match.

• Rich Swann (c) vs. TJ Perkins vs. The Brian Kendrick for the WWE Crusierweight Championship – PREDICTION: Rich to retain. TJ and Brian are in a fued so they are going to be distracted by brawling against each other but I could see some tag team action if Brian decides to turn face, but who knows.

• Kevin Owens (c) vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship – PREDICTION: Roman. If Roman does indeed win on Sunday, he will become a WWE Universal Champion AS WELL as WWE United States Champion. Hmm, where have I seen this before?? – As we have discovered in the last few weeks, Kevin wouldn’t be able to defend the belt on his own and needs outside interference in order to keep the belt, Chris Jericho will probably interfere and cause a DQ, but I hope that doesn’t happen.

A swerve to all of this at the end of the night, is that Chris Jericho will interfere, but also Seth Rollins (Remember, they fight earlier in the evening) and they will defend both Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns respectively. Perhaps a small Shield reunion?

As I typed that, I knew Sami Zayn wanted to go to Smackdown and Mick Foley was to do a deal…Perhaps, Smackdown can trade Dean Ambrose for Sami and thus re-unite The Shield on RAW. Not unlikely, but probably not going to happen.

Before I go, Smackdown LIVE is on tonight and James Ellsworth is going to be facing AJ Styles for the WWE Championship…I honestly think that he could do it…he might get the belt, would be nice though.

See you on Sunday on Taima.tv/r/sc 😉
