  • WWE Fastlane PPV 2018 Predictions [Results & Spoilers]

    Hi everyone and welcome to my 2018 predictions for WWE Fastlane

    This is the LAST PPV before Wrestlemania 34 (In which there will be a 3-part prediction series for that weekend 😉 ) and this also marks the final SmackDown Live exclusive PPV before WWE go back to dual-branded PPV’s

    All the SmackDown titles are on the line with a bigger emphesis on the WWE Championship match.

    So let’s get into it.

    07_SD_12192017MM_18398--f66890246940f6cbaa1153586501b860.jpg

    Non-Title Matches

    • Shinsuke Nakamura vs Rusev
      PREDICTION: Rusev is as over as Rusev Day. Rusev to win.
    • Becky Lynch & Naomi vs Natayla & Carmella
      PREDICTION: “Let’s have a non-title women’s match…” Becky & Naomi to win. They are the only people deserving the victory.

    Title Matches

    • Bobby Roode (C) vs Randy Orton for the United States Championship
      PREDICTION: It’s hard for me to predict this as I will admit, I have not watched SmackDown that much (been too busy lol) but never the less, it’d be great if Bobby Roode could retain this championship. He deservers to be champion for a long time.
    • The Usos (C) vs The New Day (NO CONTEST) for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships
      PREDICTION: These guys have had the best fued for the last few weeks and it is always a treat watching them compete (Watch Hell in a Cell PPV 2017) – I like Uso’s as champions but with the rumours circulating that they are going to RAW after Wrestlemania, I would like to see them hold it until Mania and then drop to the New Day. The Usos to retain
    • Charlotte (C) vs Ruby Riott for the SmackDown Women’s Championship
      PREDICTION: How over is Ruby? Ruby is just awesome ever since she (And Liv and Sarah) debuted on the main roster. I would like her to be champ until about Mania and then give it back to Charlotte. Ruby Riott to win
    • AJ Styles (C) vs John Cena vs Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn vs Baron Corbin vs Dolph Ziggler in a 6-pack challenge for the WWE Championship.
      PREDICTION: By the time Sunday rolls around, this could easily be a 10-man Royal Rumble match with so many people being added to this match. Overall, I would like to see AJ Styles retain but I know that they are going to be putting on a great match that we will talk about and it really is setting up some big fueds after mania (That’s if some of the guys remain on the blue brand after Wrestlemania)

    And that is my lot. I will try to Live Tweet on Sunday night on @PFWressling and I will have my 3-part Wrestlemania Series featuring NXT TakeOver: New Orleans coming about a week before the PPV itself.


    Some notes about this site: I was thinking about amalgamating my content to just one location (Padraig.blog) but I have decided to keep this site and duplicate the content onto padraig.blog.

    If you have any questions or anything, please email me p at pf dot ie. 🙂


    Results: 2/6

    Oh well, I should have known that Shinsuke won since he won the RR and is probably being pushed hard for his Wrestlemania match against AJ Styles for the WWE Championship!

    Randy was a surprise and Charlotte v Ruby Riott had a good match.

  • WWE Payback PPV Predictions

    It is that time of the month again where I predict the winners of the matches for the WWE PPV’s!

    What a interesting month it has been. No real “hype” for this PPV as it is the one after Wrestlemania 32.

    Kickoff Show: Kalisto (c) vs Ryback for the WWE United States Championship – Prediction: Kalisto. This title is now a joke. Not talking more about this.

    Other Deciders not through matches: Shane McMahon vs Stephanie McMahon for control of “Monday Night RAW” by Vince McMahon. Prediction: It’s storyline and WWE.com is hyping Payback as the first PPV in the “new era”. so I would say tat Shane is going to be here for a good while.

    Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens – Prediction: Sami Zayn. He is just too good and the two of them have had a previous fued in NXT, so this should be a good match.

    Dean Ambrose vs Chris Jericho – Prediction: Dean Ambrose. I have always been a fan of the Ambrose Asylum and he would make it a good show. Go Dean!

    Dolph Ziggler vs Baron Corbin – Prediction: Upset win by Baron Corbin. The ARMBAR winner Baron Corbin should set up a dirty finish to win over Dolph Ziggler.

    The Miz (c) vs Cesaro for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. – Prediction: The Swiss superman, Cesaro. Miz is way to full of himself….

    Enzo & Big Cass vs The Vaudevillains for No 1 Contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship. – Prediction: How you doin’, it’s Enzo and Cass to win this who would face The New Day at the next PPV – Match stopped due to Enzo Amore picking up an injury. Hit the 2nd rope and his arm caught on the bottom rope, flung out of the ring. 

    Charlotte (c) vs Natalya for the WWE Women’s Championship – Prediction: Bret Hart causes Ric Flair and himself to get ejected from ringside (This is intentional) for Natty to pick up a rollup victory against Sharlit.

    Roman Reigns (c) vs AJ Styles for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship – Predic-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO: It’-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ro-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Rei-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to retai-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

    Come on guys, Roman isn’t a bad guy and he isn’t a good guy, he is THE guy!

    All I am hearing is Boo’s….ok, I am out!

  • WWE PPV: Wrestlemania Predictions [Part 2]

    For Part 1 of my Wrestlemania Predictions, please click here: WWE PPV: Wrestlemania Predictions [Part 1]

    A month ago, I released my first part which some predictions for WM32 and at the time, we only knew about 3 matches that were on the card.
    In this part, we are going to go through the rest of the card and some thoughts about this injure prone year!

    Anyway, let’s get down to it.

    Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch vs Charlotte (c) Triple Threat for the WWE Divas Championship WWE Womens Championship PREDICTION: Becky Lynch = WINNER: Charlotte

    Honestly, this is a major toss up, but I do not think that Sasha is ready for the belt. I think this is Becky’s time as she has been betrayed by her “tag” partner Charlotte during “Team PCB”.
    And because Becky is Irish. GIVE IT TO THE LASS KICKER!

    Kalisto (c) vs Ryback for the United States Championship. PREDICTION: Kalisto = WINNER: KALISTO!

    What? Why? How? This was announced on a whim. Why is Ryback going for the US title and not the IC title? :/ This is a stupid booking decision by Creative. But anyway,
    Kalisto retains.

    The 3rd annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. PREDICTION: Who cares? WINNER: Baron Corbin

    This is the Royal Rumble that we sorta care about. This is a kickoff show fight so it is useless to have.
    According to the WWE Website, there is currently 7 people listed. All of the Social Outcasts, Big Show, Kane and Tyler Breeze. (zzzzzzzzz)

    The New Day vs The League of Nations. PREDICTION: New Day WINNER: League of Nations

    1. THIS IS NOT A TITLE MATCH!
      Seriously, what in the fuck? This is a non-title match and even if it was, The New Day would still win.
    2. League of Nations? More like the League of Boredom.
      They are the most boring “stable” that there has been in the WWE and should be put into a stable and shot.
      Please WWE…stop…just stop, you are killing the product with these fools.

    The Usos vs The Dudley Boyz. PREDICTION: Dudley Boyz. = WINNER: The Uso’s

    Ok, it’s a filler match, but lets have a look at it. High flying flippy shit vs Tables?
    I’ll take tables and it should be a fun match but don’t expect any surprises.

    Zack Ryder vs Stardust vs Dolph Ziggler vs Sami Zayn vs Sin Cara vs The Miz vs Kevin Owens (c) in a Ladder Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. PREDICTION: Sami Zayn. WINNER: Zack Ryder

    (That was long to type)

    Kevin Owens is very fully of himself and while that is his character, I personally do not like him and I would prefer someone new like Sami Zayn to take the title away from him since he had a fued with him back in NXT, which can set up another fued with the 2 of them the night after WM32.

    As for the rest of them. They will be out injured for the next year.

    EDIT:

    There has been another addition to the Wrestlemania card (Surprised this wasn’t announced earlier)

    AJ Styles vs Chris Jericho. PREDICTION: AJ Styles WINNER: Chris Jericho

    AJ Styles is the new face in the WWE and it would be a shame if he was to lose his first Wrestlemania.

    2ND EDIT:

    Another addition to the WM32 card.

    The Total Divas vs. B.A.D. & Blonde. – 5v5 Divas Tag Match – PREDICTION: *shrug* – WINNER: Total Divas

    Kickoff-show match between “The Total Divas” (Brie Bella, Paige, Natalya, Alicia Fox & Eva Marie) and “B.A.D. & Blonde” (Lana, Naomi, Tamina, Emma & Summer Rae)

    This may be the first time in a VERY long time that we will see Lana fight. So a bit of my money will be on Lana…But, it’s a kickoff match so I cannot care

    And that is it for the WM32 predictions.

    The card is looking to be a bit on the meh side. Why Ryback? Why the LoN? Why Zack Ryder? Why SO MUCH SHIT BOOKING WWE?!

    I am so furious by this. Where is all the good talent? Are they still out injured? I am hoping for some of them to come back.

    Eg. Seth Rollings, Tyson Kidd, Cesaro, Randy Orton, Big Match John (Cena).

    I will be having a LIVE blog this Sunday night right here on the blog and I may stream my reaction to the show…so stay tuned for that.

    Until then, talk to you then!

  • WWE PPV: Wrestlemania Predictions [Part 1]

    We are over a month away from the biggest WWE Pay-Per-View of the year, Wrestlemania, and this year, it’s going to be…an interesting one as this not only would have the most “meh” booking so far, but it will see how WWE grab the audience’s attention (Unlike FastLane and Roman Royal Rumble with Cheese)

    So, in this 2 part special, I will go through the card that we have so far and my predictions on who will win or lose.

    Shane McMahon vs The Undertaker – Prediction: Shane McMahon WINNER: The Undertaker
    This is more of a job vs career match as 2 things can happen here.

    If Shane wins, he become the RAW General Manager which means that Vinny Mac is out of a job. If Undertaker wins, he will be in the WWE for another year…But if he was to lose, he will probably retire at the end of WM32.

    Even if Shane loses, he still has that “lockbox” that he talked abut on RAW and it should not be overlooked at WM32 or even the RAW the night after WM32.

    My money (Ching ching bling bling….not pun) is on Shane McMahon. Vinny to retire would be the biggest pop in WWE since…since…*shrug*.

    Dean Ambrose vs Barroocckkkk Lesssssssnarrrr (with Paul Fucking Heyman) – Prediction: Brock Lesnar. WINNER: Brock Lesnar 

    Dean has a one way ticket to Suplex City against a stick known as Dean Ambrose. While Dean has the air to his advantage, I am not sure if that is going to get him through the match. I predict a Lesnar win.

    MAIN EVENT:
    Triple H (c) vs Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavy Championship – Prediction: Roman Reigns. WINNER: Roman Reigns

    I predict Roman for a couple of reasons.

    1. Vinny wants everyone being disappointed leaving WM32 because money talks (sorry, couldn’t help it).
    2. Odds. Triple H hasn’t defended the title since he got the title at Royal Rumble, but there was a rumor that he be defending it at that march to WM PPV (Or whatever that thing is), so there is a slight possibility that he could lose it and then have a different opponent at WM.

    One little factor to consider about this whole thing is a man named:

    Seth

    Rollings

    He could do what he done last year and come in at the Main event of WM and while he doesn’t have a case to cash in, he could interrupt the match and turn heel on Triple H, which I would love to see.

    And that is the look at Part 1 of my WWE Wrestlemania 32 predictions. Once the full card has been announced, I will make a 2nd part talking about the Tag Teams, Divas and IC title matches.

    Talk to you then 🙂

  • WWE Royal Rumble 2016 Predictions

    Hi everyone.

    Welcome to my WWE Royal Rumble 2016 Predictions!

    Bolded names are the winners!

    Pre-Show:
    Darren Young & Damien Sandow vs The Dudley Boyz vs The Ascension vs Mark Henry & Jack Swagger for qualification for the Royal Rumble match. – My Prediction: Darren & Damien – We haven’t seen either of these guys for quite a while due to injury and just not being used….so I would like to seem them in the RR match.

    Main Show:
    Roman Reigns (c) vs 29-other people for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship – My Prediction: How the hell can I predict this?? THE ODDS ARE STACKED AGAINST ROMAN…Feck it. Roman wins lol. (See below for some thoughts on entrants for the RR) WINNER: Triple H

    Dean Ambrose (c) vs Kevin Owens for the WWE Intercontinental Championship – My Prediction: Dean Ambrose…KO is too full of himself to win the title again.

    Alberto Del Rio (c) vs Kalisto for the WWE United States Title – My Prediction: 2 Mexicans going for a US title…Ok, well done WWE, but anyway, Kalisto to win since he needs the push and ADR is sooo bad imo.

    Charlotte (c) (With Rick Flair) vs Becky Lynch My prediction: Becky Lynch to win. She deserves it and she is also Irish 😛

    The New Day (c) vs The Usos – My prediction: Usos to win as the title reign for New Day is over and their gimmick is way more over than the Championship at the moment.

    Regarding the main Royal Rumble Match:

    Roman Reigns is going to be entering as Number 1 (GG Vinny Mac) and is going to defend his title against 29 other people. According to Wikipedia, some names are confirmed:

    • Big Show
    • Curtis Axel
    • Wyatt Family (Bray, Braun, Luke and Erick)
    • Ryback
    • Dolph Ziggler
    • Chris Jericho
    • Brock Lesnar
    • Stardust
    • Sheamus
    • The New Day (Kofi, Big E and Xavier)
    • Winner of the Kick off match

    So, in total you have 18 people confirmed…what about the other 12. Here is my predictions on who those 12 might be

    • Golddust
    • Triple H
    • Seth Rollins
    • Daniel Bryan
    • Finn Balor
    • Samoa Joe
    • The Miz
    • King Barrett
    • Rusev
    • Titus O’Neill
    • Cesaro
    • AJ Styles

    EDIT: Seems like some of my predictions came true 😛
