Here are my predictions.

I would’ve found a way to have 10 matches – eight on the main show and two on the kickoff show.
Let’s talk about how we got to this match. The Vaudevillians, who I like, has to be rebuilt.
Regarding the pre-show, as expected American Alpha was shown to be the most dominant tag team on the Smackdown roster.
Match 7 – Six-Woman Tag Team, Carmella, Becky Lynch, & Naomi vs Natalya, Alexa Bliss, & Nikki Bella: You read that correctly, Nikki has returned from her injury. Randy Orton is not the go-to player on the bench and Roman Reigns is finally looking like a “hero” who will defend Old Glory.
Sami Zayn and Neville vs. The Dudley’s screw up and lose the match.
Cesaro just had to be in a seven-match series with Sheamus right now. Expect this to be physical. I don’t think all of Summerslam sucked.
“Finn’s injury was pretty severe, more severe than normal”, said Jeffrey Dugas, the doctor who performed the operation on Tuesday evening.
Big E (with Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston) def. Karl Anderson (with Luke Gallows) by pin following the Big Ending. A missed splash on The Miz resulted in Crews dealing some brain damage to himself on the top turnbuckle, which was just the break that The Miz needed to lock in a Skull-Crushing finale so that he could retain his title. The Miz takes advantage to hit the Skull Crushing Finale and retain the title. I loved a spot they did where Charlotte went for a Powerbomb, but Banks turned it into a top rope hurricanrana. In addition to the matches being exciting, numerous results were surprising, and that opens up quite the possibilities for future match-ups. He has yet to headline a pay-per-view, coming closest when he had matches with John Cena in 2015.
I like the build to this feud. Buts it’s John Cena, so would he lose?
Braun got the win with the reverse chokeslam. No surprise that he won, but I hope this is not the end for Dolph Ziggler. Ambrose landed on his feet, hooked Ziggler’s arms, and then planted him with Dirty Deeds.

This is a tough one. Judging from fan reaction as well as intrigue among casual fans, this did turn out to be a good plan as Balor managed to impress a lot of people and draw them in with his alter-ego. Will Brock be punished for his failed drug test? Lesnar was having none of that however, tossed the medic off and continued to annihilate Orton as the bell was rung and the match was called off with Lesnar winning by TKO. Plus, Smackdown needs stars without Cena and Smackdown is kind of weak as it is. WrestleMania? Will anybody care at that point?
