Triple Z gives his analysis about the upcoming Survivor Series event. Brian Kendrick VS KalistoBrian Kendrick being Cruiserweight champion is strange. Could Kalisto be what the Cruiserweight's need? A WWE star that could flourish in a division. This match up should be exciting. The stipulations add more to the match. The entire Cruiserweight division could up and leave RAW. WWE giving Brian Kendrick one last run is good but it hinders the potential of the Cruiserweight's. TJ Perkins wasn't built into a legitimate champ and it dilutes the CWC. Kalisto will get his crowning moment this Sunday. Winner: Kalisto The Miz VS Sami ZaynI'm going out on a limb and saying that a trade happens at Survivor Series. I actually think the trade will be sending Intercontinental Champion The Miz to RAW and sending Sami Zayn to SmackDown. The move looks good on paper and in reality should play out well. The trade helps SmackDown in the talent department, although it leaves a gigantic hole in the heel department. Also for RAW, The Miz adds another heel and charismatic character. You need good characters on a three hour show. I'm predicting WWE is shaking things up. Sami Zayn has been on to much of a losing streak to win the Intercontinental Championship. The Miz has had the breakout performance of 2016. WWE most likely will push The Miz to win this match. Winner: The Miz Team RAW VS Team SmackDown: Tag TeamsThese type of matches are tossup's. I give the slight edge to RAW just because of the The New Day and Enzo and Cass. I wouldn't count out SmackDown though. American Alpha might be the best tag team in this match. These type of matches are either really good or they just plain out suck. Let's hope this match is exciting and shows that WWE has a good tag team division overall. Winner: TEAM RAW Team RAW VS Team SmackDown: Women's DivisionI'm feeling a upset. The RAW team is the perfect quintet of ladies. The SmackDown team has some interesting pieces on it though. You have Nikki Bella, (the longest reigning Divas Champion), Becky Lynch (SmackDown's Women's Champion), Naomi (Underutilized and has a great offense), Alexa Bliss (The exciting heel), and Carmella (The babyface heel). RAW will be favored due to Sasha Banks and Charlotte. Nia Jax will be disqualified and Alicia Fox is a wild card. I feel SmackDown will get the stunning upset to prove that the Women's division is strong on both sides. I believe the Women's division is strong on both sides. Winners: Team SmackDown Team RAW VS Team SmackDownThree traditional Survivor Series matches? Oh boy fans are going to be sick of this by the end of the night. This match could go either way. It's a tricky situation for WWE. AJ Styles and Kevin Owens in the same ring. Whoever loses will considered the number two champion. Plus let's add in WWE's favorite wrestler Roman Reigns. Could you imagine Roman Reigns lasting all the way to the end and outlasting both champions? That seems like a WWE move in all honesty. Especially with WWE's plan of Reigns VS Owens I'm sure that's how they will set it up. In addition, a appearance from The Undertaker could be possible. There is multiple story lines in this match and the commentators have quite the job to do... RAW is the main show it always has been and it always will be. Unless WWE wants a radical change then I don't see Team RAW losing. Winners: Team RAW Brock Lesnar VS GoldbergYes, Brock Lesnar and Goldberg are going to fight in a WWE ring in 2016. The match is just one of those weird mark out occasions. This reminds me of Shane McMahon and The Undertaker. We all knew the match was going to suck, but we knew it would have some bright spots. It's going to be cool seeing Goldberg come down to the ring again. He was electrifying when he first came back to Monday Night RAW. Goldberg brought intensity and made me excited for this match. Although I wish Goldberg would fight against someone else and at WrestleMania. Having him square up with Brock Lesnar is not a bad thing. The only damaging part is that Brock Lesnar doesn't have a lot of WWE matches left. So wasting it on a former star seems like a weird decision. I personally do not expect anything out of this match. It's just going to be fun to watch. Although Survivor Series is a six hour show so by the time Goldberg and Lesnar go on the fans will be asleep. I'm optimistic that this match could lead Lesnar into a new feud for WrestleMania. Goldberg could end up winning this match. I don't know why he would want to come back and lose. Goldberg has been saying that "Brock Lesnar You're Last!!!" and I don't believe it. There is no way Vince McMahon, pay-per-view genius didn't lock up Goldberg for WrestleMania. Goldberg has to appear at WrestleMania it's just unavoidable. This match will be a good fifteen minutes. Lesnar and Goldberg exchange heavy blows. Heyman distracts Goldberg and Lesnar picks up the win. Winner: Brock Lesnar Thanks for reading my Survivor Series BreakDownZ post. Leave a comment below! Follow @TripleZ_87 and @ZWrestleTalk

Triple Z predicts Hell in a Cell and talks about how the brand split PPV's are becoming overkill to the product. The "Triple Main Event" and The Baffling, below-average Brand Split PPV schedule.WWE is promoting Hell in a Cell as a "Triple Main Event", and why are they doing this? So they don't receive backlash if Sasha and Charlotte don't go on last. Three Hell in a Cell matches is good. If your going to name a PPV based off of a match then you better have a lot of those type of matches at the event. Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens has been the main event feud on RAW. Sasha Banks and Charlotte's feud has been stale. WWE fans begging for "women's wrestling" and now were getting it. If WWE really was creative they would've waited until WWE TLC to do a special match with the Women. I will be optimistic about Charlotte/Banks but it's a long shot at being historic. Why was Bayley/Banks at Brooklyn historic? The reasoning is because the match was unexpectedly good. Also the feud was phenomenal at the time. There was no pressure from the audience for those two to have a good match. Then they went out and shocked the world. This match has different circumstances. Everybody is expecting this to be jaw-dropping amazing. I'll cover Sasha/Charlotte later on but maybe WWE is overexposing the product?
WWE doing a PPV event once every two weeks is crazy. If your a wrestling fan that doesn't have anything else going on then "It's absolutely great!" Although the product seems rushed and the pay-per-views seem watered down. WWE is starting to not care about the story of it all. WWE is more concerned with content. WWE's PPV schedule has been hard to follow. Maybe WWE turns it around for the "Road to WrestleMania", or do they continue on this overexposed path? Triple Z gives his predictions and analysis for RAW's first PPV Clash of Champions. Sorry for not writing BreakDownZ for WWE Backlash. I follow SmackDown but I do not consistently watch. From here on out I will just be covering RAW and mixed events. (Also helps with the schedule. I can't accomplish 19 BreakDownZ in 12 months.) Alicia Fox VS Nia JaxInteresting choice for a Kickoff match. RAW is really trying to catch up to SmackDown's women's division. RAW has more talent. SmackDown has just utilized their assets better. This match and its booking is quite simple and obvious. Nia Jax is being pushed to the moon. I don't exactly know where WWE wants Jax in this division but I do know she's going to win on Sunday. Winner: Nia Jax Chris Jericho VS Sami ZaynThis match has serious potential. "Show Stealer" comes to mind. Sami Zayn has been in classics this year. Chris Jericho is a legend. I expect a very good match that ends with Jericho on top. Winner: Chris Jericho TJ Perkins VS Brian KendrickI enjoyed TJ Perkins back in TNA. While under contract with TNA, Perkins expressed interest in the WWE. It's so cool to finally see him get to this stage. Perkins won the inaugural Cruiserweight Classic. WWE was smart having TJ Perkins win the tournament and the title. Even if Sabre Jr. and Ibushi signed they still don't seem like natural WWE products. TJ Perkins has the "It Factor" that WWE enjoys and cherishes. While his opponent is a savvy in-ring veteran, and has momentum on his side. I expect Perkins to hold onto the title. On a side note, I feel WWE dropped the ball on introducing the Cruiserweights. They needed to have the whole division in the ring even if they didn't wrestle. Perkins should've been on RAW! The champ doesn't appear? Seriously? Also from a story perspective WWE could've introduced Neville and Kalisto into the division. (With Jack Swagger leaving for SmackDown this would be perfect for Kalisto to jump ship to RAW.) Back to the match analysis, Kendrick and Perkins won't let this moment slip. Like what the CWC proved they only need 20 minutes to have an exciting contest. Winner: TJ Perkins Cesaro VS SheamusWWE trying to steal NBA story lines now. Cesaro may come back from being down 3-1 to Sheamus. I lost interest in this series but it would be neat to see Cesaro win. If WWE is using the NBA logic then it will happen. Winner: Cesaro The New Day VS The ClubThis is a toss up. The New Day is one of the hottest acts in WWE today. The Club is still trying to get over with the "mark" crowd. The New Day will continue their reign. I have a feeling WWE isn't ready for The Club to reign supreme on RAW. Winner: The New Day Charlotte VS Bayley VS Sasha BanksI'm going to be bold with my prediction. Sasha Banks is going to win back the title. Sasha is going to take advantage of Bayley to win the match. This will set up the long plot arc for WrestleMania. I believe at Clash of Champions were going to see the return of the "semi-heel" Sasha Banks. The match itself is going to either be fantastic or it's going to be a mess. There is no two ways about it. Hopefully Sasha doesn't try to break her neck. RAW's Women's division is looking bright. Clash of Champions may be the true start to the Women's Revolution in WWE. Will see though... Winner: Sasha Banks Roman Reigns VS RusevSunday night is going to be a huge test for these two. Can Rusev and Reigns have a solid outing? I believe they will and Roman Reigns had a great match on RAW with Kevin Owens. Reigns is going to beat Rusev to win the United States Championship. WWE needs to capitalize on Roman's momentum. Rusev has had a good reign as champion but if Roman Reigns doesn't beat him. Who will? If WWE wants Roman Reigns to get necessarily "over" again they will let him have the United States Championship. Roman Reigns has been a part of many great matches this year. Reason why? People wanted him to lose so it created drama during the match. I anticipate this match to be a hard fought fight that results in Reigns becoming the United States Champion. Rusev will continue his feud with Reigns probably and when that is over, he will probably head to the blue brand. Winner: Roman Reigns Seth Rollins VS Kevin OwensEasily expecting a "Match of the Year" candidate for this. Triple H will probably get involve and help Kevin Owens retain. These two never fail, and it is exciting to see how this plays out. My prediction is Triple H and another surprise helps KO keep the red title. Winner: Kevin Owens Clash of Champions will be one of the best PPV's of the year.Just look at this stacked card. We got Bayley VS Sasha VS Charlotte, Rollins VS Owens, Rusev VS Reigns, Jericho VS Zayn, and the Cruiserweight match! A lot of fans have been dissing RAW and it's very odd to be honest. RAW has the perfect opportunity to deliver at Clash of Champions. This has potential to be one of the best PPV's of the year! I also will be watching this event without going on Twitter. I'm going to try to watch the event in peace. I don't want to read uneducated takes about pro wrestling. "Why was the women's match only 12 minutes." and "Why is this the co-main event?" for examples. Also without going on Twitter my full attention will be the event. Usually when that happens I muster a pretty good review afterwards. Don't worry I will tweet something if need be. Thanks for reading! Enjoy Clash of Champions!

Zach also has had his wrestling articles published at PWPNation.com for a brief period. Zach is now focused on expanding and creating content for ZWrestleTalk. Triple Z recruits two great wrestling minds to help him analyze and predict SummerSlam Welcome to the first Wrestling BreakDownZ on zwrestletalk.com. To celebrate the change to a real site I recruited two guys to analyze and predict SummerSlam along with me. Joining me today are Jordi Jack Creed from ZWrestleTalk's WrestleMania BreakDownZ. (He also is a full time writer at zwrestletalk.com now). Plus for the first time on zwrestletalk.com, Fansided's Daily DDT writer Josh.0 will make his Wrestling BreakDownZ debut. Lets begin. Meet the CastTriple Z- Owner of ZWrestleTalkJordi Jack Creed- Writer for ZWrestleTalkJosh.0 - Writer for Fansided's Daily DDTThe Miz VS Apollo CrewsTriple Z: The Miz has been a phenomenal heel as of late. Apollo Crews needs the title to start off the "New Era" for SmackDown. This match is hard to tell. I'm going to go for a bold prediction. Apollo Crews walks out as champion. Winner: Apollo Crews Josh: A lot has been made about Crews botching a few moves since he joined the main roster but these can be attributed to nerves more than anything. Crews is still a solid talent and will give the Miz a good match but WWE needs Miz to play the role of heel for a bit longer, at least until Backlash. I am predicting several titles will change hands during Summer Slam but the IC title isn't one of them. As has happened before, look for Maryse to play a hand in the victory, which I hate but it is what it is. Winner: The Miz Jordi: The Miz is such a good heel right now and he deserves as long of a reign with the title as he can get, he shouldn't lose to Crews who to this point is pretty underdeveloped as a character. Winner: The Miz Sasha Banks VS CharlotteJosh: Banks just won the title on July 25 so it's way too soon for her to drop it, especially against Charlotte. The women's division is already mismanaged to an almost criminal length and dethroning Banks so early would put them deeper into the hole. Dana Brooke is banned from ringside which takes away the ace Charlotte had up her sleeve ever since she rid herself of the octogenarian albatross known as her father. This match has the potential to be a fantastic women's match if the WWE gives them ample time to show off their skills. Sasha Banks retains. Winner: Sasha Banks Triple Z: This should be a super easy win for Sasha Banks. This match will be awesome if WWE decides to give it more then five minutes. I mean SummerSlam is only six hours so they shouldn't have to rush through the Women's division match. Plus these two are going to have to top Bayley/Asuka II from NXT Brooklyn which is already a tough task. Sasha Banks is the easy call. Winner: Sasha Banks Jordi: Dana Brooke is banned from ringside. Sasha to win because losing it back to Charlotte without interference will hurt Sasha and make no sense going forward. Winner: Sasha Banks Rusev VS Roman ReignsJosh: Not every title will change hand at Summer Slam andthis is one of them. Reigns has been forced to eat crow ever since his violation of the wellness policy and while I don't think he will win the U.S. title, he won't be squashed either. Vince still believes in Reigns as the future of the WWE but he still has to pay for his crimes. This means WWE will keep Reigns relevant without giving him too much of a push until Vincefeels enough time has passed. This also means that while he won't suffer to many embarrassing loses, he won't hoist gold any time soon. Reigns will win via DQ but Rusev retains. Triple Z: Well I'm going the total opposite of Josh. WWE doesn't care about that U.S Title. WWE wants someone dominant to beat Rusev. They want Roman Reigns in the title picture even if it's not the top prize. WWE is still building Roman Reigns. This feels like a step in the right direction, and Rusev has been phenomenal. WWE wants Roman Reigns as United States Champion. WWE is going to start booking Reigns as a powerhouse. Winner: Roman Reigns Jordi: Roman to win because WWE can use a mid card title reign to make the fans gain respect for Roman as a competitor without him being forced down their throats. Winner: Roman Reigns The New Day VS Gallows and AndersonJosh: Other than the Universal Championship, I think this ending will surprise some people. Anderson and Gallows get the edge for being great heels and having the tendency to do great heel things. The WWE needs to give New Day a fresh angle instead of just the champions who always retain their belts. A loss won't hurt them at all and if anything will only embolden New Day to make the feud better, especially when Big E returns to action. Personally, I'd like to see some new tag teams join the fray but I'll take what I can get for now. Anderson and Gallows become your new Tag Team Champions. Winners: Gallows and Anderson Triple Z: WWE is going to end The New Day soon. Why? I can't justify it but it is a feeling I have. The team has been a success for so long. Almost similar to The Shield going from heels to top baby faces. I hope this isn't the case but the end of The New Day may be near. Which would result in a win for Gallows and Anderson. Winners: Gallows and Anderson Jordi: Good Brothers Gallows and Anderson to win this to allow The New Day some rest from being the faces of the division and to validate the good brothers as a force within the division. Winners: Gallows and Anderson Cesaro VS SheamusJosh: A Best of 7 series? Why? My official prediction is, who cares? Does it matter? Fine, I have to pick someone or else I don't get paid...let's say Cesaro. Whatever. Serious question, does ANYONE care about this match? No? Ok, let's move on. Winner: Who Cares Triple Z: To steal a quote from Jon Stewart (Who's actually appearing at SummerSlam). "Cats VS Dogs, Batman VS Superman, and WHATEVER THIS IS!" I'm a fan of Cesaro so let's go with Cesaro. Winner: Cesaro Jordi: Sheamus to win although in my eyes whoever wins the first match in the series doesn't matter; it's the last few that really count. Winner: Sheamus Dolph Ziggler VS Dean AmbroseJosh: This always entertaining Face vs Face match has the possibility of stealing the show. We already know that both men give their all every time they are in the ring and I will look for them to try and outdo each other. Ziggler will throw the kitchen sink at Ambrose but as we've seen in the past, Ambrose can weather the storm and survive. What will be most interesting to me will be what happens after the match. Will we see a mutual show of respect or a Ziggler heel turn? Either way, Dean Ambrose retains. Winner: Dean Ambrose Triple Z: Let me play the role of the heel for a moment. Dean Ambrose VS Dolph Ziggler feels like a mid-card match. It doesn't feel like a match for the top prize. Dean Ambrose is a main event star but is he floundering? Like even Stone Cold thinks Ambrose could do better. Ziggler is actually having his best run in awhile. This will be a good match but it isn't the caliber of match I would want to headline… Dean is also in some trouble backstage and WWE is very screwy with how it treats it's talent. I have a feeling Ziggler is going to upset Ambrose. Which will cause some rift backstage at SmackDown Live. Winner: Dolph Ziggler Jordi: Ambrose winning for me makes more sense, his reign hasn't been long enough and if he loses I'm afraid he'll never come back from it. Winner: Dean Ambrose JeriKO VS Enzo Amore and Big CassJosh: I make this choice strictly on the basis of how well things have been going for Enzo and Cass. They continue to find success in the ring and their mic work is top notch. Of course this means everything will soon come crashing down and what better time than at SummerSlam? This match counts as my sleeper as most people will expect Enzo and Cass to win against the relatively new tag team of Jericho and Owens but a victory by the heel duo will take this feud to another level since WWE seems to think that's what we want to see. (Spoiler Alert: We don't but they will give it to us anyways). Jericho/Owens use heel tactics to beat the crowd favorites. Winner: JeriKo Triple Z: I love Enzo and Cass but there is no way they will beat this team. JeriKO is a magnificent group and the only way this feud can last is if Owens and Jericho pick up the win. Winners: JeriKO Jordi: JeriKO to win just to add to their ego's whilst adding fire to Enzo and Cass' bellies. Winner: JeriKO AJ Styles VS John CenaJosh: Please let this feud end. They fought. Then they fought again. Cena is a workhorse but a victory does nothing for him. This entire storyline was about getting Styles over because McMahon is still convinced no one knew about him until his WWE debut. The consummate professional that he is, Cena should offer himself as a sacrifice upon the altar of Styles and help establish him as a legitimate main roster guy. That is until Styles asks to be pushed out of mid-card purgatory at which point he will receive the patented Triple H shovel. Enjoy it, AJ; this might be as high as you go. Styles wins clean over Cena. Winner: AJ Styles Triple Z: Styles is going to send Cena on a two month break. Winner: AJ Styles Jordi: AJ needs to win this to seperate himself from everyone else who has suffered to a series with Cena, if he wins he solidifies himself as SmackDown's guy and Cena has nothing to gain from winning . Winner: AJ Styles Randy Orton VS Brock LesnarJosh: Lesnar will not lose at SummerSlam. Spoiler alert. Why would he? The match itself is preposterous. WWE has packaged and sold Lesnar to be unbeatable so losing to the very human-like man known as Randy Orton is out of the question. The only way I can see it happening is if Goldberg interferes in the match and thus costs Lesnar the victory. We already know that Goldberg will be in town for SummerSlam so a run-in isn't out of the question but Orton beating Lesnar clean certainly is. Don't' get me wrong, I would love to see such an ending which would be used as the catalyst for a Lesnar/Goldberg match at WrestleMania 33 but that would be Orton's only chance. Lesnar wins after giving Orton about 10,000 suplexes. Winner: Brock Lesnar Triple Z: I enjoy Josh's theory of Goldberg interfering. If you think Brock Lesnar will lose at SummerSlam. You are a part of the delusional WWE marks. Lesnar won't be punished for his actions. That got blown out of proportions before there was even any significant evidence. Lesnar will destroy Orton at SummerSlam. WWE can't waste the build of Lesnar on someone like Orton. I mean come on seriously… Winner: Brock Lesnar Jordi: WWE will want RAW’s talent to come out on top. Brock Lesnar will defeat Randy Orton at SummerSlam. Winner: Brock Lesnar Finn Balor VS Seth Rollins Josh: I'm on the record as saying the Universal Championship is stupid (http://dailyddt.com/2016/07/27/wwe-universal-championship-terrible-idea/). Since it's happening no matter what, I think the WWE really can't go wrong with either man as champion. I'm honestly split about who I think will win vs. who I think should win. I have this sinking feeling they play it safe and give it to Rollins but I want to see Balor become the first Universal Champion. There are some in the IWC who will cry foul and angrily type "TOO SOON!" and these people will be wrong. Balor propped up NXT for quite some time and is more than capable of introducing the WWE Universe to another new championship. Seriously IWC, quite being a bunch of babies and just enjoy someone else having the spotlight for a change. Finn Balor wins to become the first Universal Champion. Winner: Finn Balor Jordi: Pretty straight forward, if WWE wants a true new era, Finn is to win to kick-start it. Winner: Finn Balor Triple Z: This match is going to be epic. This is a wrestling match between my two favorites in the modern era. Seth Rollins and Finn Balor is a dream match for me. I can't believe WWE had the guts to book it. It shows WWE is willing to create a new era. I would be fine with either guy walking out as champion. Balor since jumping to the main roster his every move has been under the microscope. Everything he does is being compared to Roman Reigns which honestly is quite ridiculous. Finn Balor is 35 years old despite his youthful look and there should be no time wasted. Finn Balor was over in NXT. Also NXT as a brand has been over. WWE needs to capitalize on NXT's reach and power to different audiences. How fitting is that the first ever NXT champion will be facing the longest reigning NXT champion for the newest top prize in WWE. The Universal Championship isn't as bad as the WWE World Championship. Saying WWE World Championship it just sounds weird makes you miss the "Heavyweight" part. Balor VS Rollins should be main eventing SummerSlam but I have a feeling Lesnar VS Orton will steal that slot. Finn Balor will walk out as the WWE Universal Champion. Then the IWC and insecure WWE marks will complain. Winner: Finn Balor Thanks for reading WWE SummerSlam BreakDownZ. Comment and take the poll below! Follow @TripleZ_87
Follow @ChiefJosheola Follow @Jordi_DGAF Follow @ZWrestleTalk Triple Z gives his predictions and analysis for WWE's Battleground Becky Lynch VS NatalyaThis is very simple. Becky Lynch is over with the fans. Natalya has been irrelevant for awhile. Becky Lynch isn't getting the proper push. That should change since she is the female face of SmackDown now. Becky has to win this match. Winner: Becky Lynch Rusev VS Zack Ryder2016 has been a very odd year for Zack Ryder. Starting off the year as a jobber and then he gets inserted into a WrestleMania Intercontinental Title Ladder Match. Wins the match only to lose the title on RAW to The Miz. Now he's back in the title picture against Rusev. Sadly I don't see a upset coming here. Winner: Rusev The Miz VS Darren YoungDarren Young has improved since getting Bob Backlund as his manager. I wouldn't mind seeing Darren Young holding the Intercontinental championship this Sunday. I think that's whats going to happen. Darren Young is early in his push and WWE has dedicated so much production time to the "Make Darren Young Great Again" it would be idiotic to see him lose. I'm ready to see more of Darren Young and Bob Backlund. I'm also ready to see The Miz become a main eventer once again on SmackDown. Winner: Darren Young Sasha Banks and Mystery Partner VS Charlotte and Dana BrookeDoes it matter who Sasha Banks picks? Sasha Banks is going to win anyways. Charlotte's title isn't on the line and it's a tag team match. Sasha Banks currently has two options for her partner. 1. Bayley 2. Paige I would be thrilled to see Bayley debut. Sadly I don't think that's in the works. Paige returning along side Sasha Banks would boost her back up the ranks. Paige has fallen since becoming a cast member on Total Divas. This could be her way of going back up in the division. Either way this will be a win for Sasha Banks. Winners: Sasha Banks and Mystery Partner The New Day VS The Wyatt FamilyThe hottest Tag Team in professional wrestling take on the once scariest faction in the WWE. This feud has gotten Bray Wyatt back on track. I really hope WWE doesn't do anything stupid with Xavier Woods. Please don't ruin The New Day. The result to this match should be The Wyatt Family winning. Reason why? It's a six man tag match... It doesn't mean anything if The New Day lose. So why not have them lose to help The Wyatt Family out? This match should be pretty exciting though. Give The Wyatt Family Winners: The Wyatt Family Sami Zayn VS Kevin OwensWhen is it time for a great feud to come to a end? Never is the usual answer. When it comes to these two, and all the history behind it. You could watch these two wrestle forever. Sadly I think this epic feud is coming to an end. It's won't be a dead feud and it will always be there. I think Kevin Owens is on the rise to the top of the card so it would make sense for him to win. Sami Zayn on the other hand hasn't had a super impressive victory yet. Defeating Owens for a second time would give him that victory. I think Sami Zayn will give Kevin Owens a great fight resulting in Kevin Owens slipping by once again. Winner: Kevin Owens John Cena, Enzo Amore, and Big Cass VS The ClubI love everyone in this match up with that being said The Club needs to win this match. Winners: The Club Roman Reigns VS Dean Ambrose VS Seth RollinsFirst off Roman Reigns shouldn't even be in this match. Go cry about it Reigns fans. If your missing the whole build and if your name is not Brock Lesnar you shouldn't be included in the match. Seth Rollins VS Dean Ambrose would of been fine. Adding Roman Reigns makes this interesting but it wasn't the proper build up to this huge match. I mean were talking about the "Destruction of The Shield" match. This is a WrestleMania caliber match and it's happening on Battleground I mean freaking Battleground. We all know Roman Reigns isn't going to win that title when he gets back. So that leaves us with two options. Ambrose will stay the champion because SmackDown needs the champion. Rollins winning would make me happy but I don't see that happening. Roman really shouldn't be in this match. It makes no sense honestly.
Winner: Dean Ambrose Follow @TripleZ_87 @ZWrestleTalk WWE Money in the Bank is approaching and the anticipation is building. Triple Z gives his predictions and analysis on the hyped event. Kickoff: Golden Truth VS BreezangoUgh… I like everybody in this match. Tyler Breeze's treatment on the main roster is disgusting. The man is epic and has it all. Fandango well is a different story, and he needs a new gimmick but that will never happen. R-Truth is hilarious and great for comedy purposes like a pre show. Goldust is the same way. At least two of the four talents in the Kickoff are Kickoff worthy talent. Tyler Breeze and Fandango need the victory. No excuses… If WWE books them to lose this match they are clueless. Winners: Tyler Breeze and Fandango Kickoff: Lucha Dragons VS Dudley BoyzThis match just doesn't make sense. Kalisto was built as a single star. The Dudley Boyz just really haven't done anything anything impressive lately. The Dudley Boyz have to win this match. A Legendary tag team of 10+ years isn't going to get beat by a part time, mediocre tag team. Winners: The Dudley Boyz Apollo Crews VS SheamusApollo Crews is a talented individual. WWE needs to capitalize on his talent and it seems like they are doing so. Although I despise Sheamus, I am happy he's working with Crews and trying to get him over. Sheamus is a former World Champion. If Apollo Crews beats Sheamus he should be in line for a mid card championship. Maybe he dethrones Rusev for the United States Championship? Crews and Sheamus have had a interesting feud so far. Winner: Apollo Crews Dolph Ziggler VS Baron CorbinOh look it's "Feud Killer" Dolph Ziggler! I mean seriously Dolph Ziggler is the most overrated talent in WWE. Baron Corbin needs to move on after this feud. Corbin has potential to be a top heel just because he isn't the stereotypical heel. Ziggler has been proven a weak opponent. Maybe it's not Ziggler's fault entirely but throwing Corbin into a feud with a person WWE clearly has no vision for is concerning. Ziggler VS Corbin started off good but clearly became a dud. Winner: Baron Corbin Dana Brooke and Charlotte VS Becky Lynch and NatalyaLazy booking for the Women's Division. The new and improved championship doesn't even get defended??? This match will last nine minutes… Becky and Nattie will win because this match doesn't matter. Winners: Becky Lynch and Natalya Rusev VS Titus O'NeilWell Titus made a fast comeback. Titus wasn't buried like everybody expected. Rusev's rise has been interesting yet it feels lackluster. Titus O'Neill would be the perfect opponent to take out Rusev. Sadly, I don't think WWE has the confidence in O'Neil which is a shame. Rusev's comeback is impressive especially after the disaster known as League of Nations. This is going to be a solid match. Winner: Rusev Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady VS The Club VS The Vaudvillains VS The New DayThis match is a toss up. I'm fine with any of the winners. The New Day has a good chance at winning. The Vaudevillains are least likely to win. Enzo and Cass are being saved for a bigger moment. The Club has the best shot at winning. I wouldn't count out The New Day but I have a gut feeling The Club is going to win. Winners: The Club Chris Jericho VS Dean Ambrose VS Sami Zayn VS Alberto Del Rio VS Kevin Owens VS CesaroMoney in the Bank. It's a huge opportunity for any of these men. WWE lately has been doing heels winning the briefcase but I think that should change. Cesaro, Ambrose, and Zayn should all be considered to win this match. Kevin Owens would be a great option but he doesn't honestly need it. Kevin Owens is powerful on his own. Ambrose needs it the most. Ambrose has scratched the main event surface many times. Ambrose needs a big win or he will end up looking like the weak link from The Shield. Zayn winning would be epic but his feud with Owens is far from finished. Ambrose seems like the best option. Winner: Dean Ambrose John Cena VS AJ StylesThis is another great match! It is a tough one to predict. John Cena hasn't been in the ring for awhile. AJ Styles hasn't won in awhile. This feud is going to go back and forth. Styles will win the first. Everybody will rejoice! Then suddenly Cena will win the second match. Then it will go to the tie breaking match and Cena will defeat Styles in the third match. Guys WWE isn't going to let their guy lose to the former face of TNA… But for Money in the Bank, Styles will win the match. Winner: AJ Styles Seth Rollins VS Roman ReignsSeth Rollins is the face of WWE. WWE needs to realize that. Every kind of person loves him. Seth Rollins needs to reclaim his championship. Roman Reigns has had his run. It's time for Rollins to win the championship again. If he doesn't win then it will be a shame. Reigns and Rollins will be a fantastic match. WWE will give us the surprise of letting Rollins beat Reigns. Winner: Seth Rollins Thanks for reading! Comment below.
Follow @TripleZ_87 and @ZWrestleTalk on Twitter. ZWrestleTalk's Owner Triple Z gives his predictions and analysis for Extreme Rules Dolph Ziggler VS Baron Corbin (Kickoff)Well at least this is a impressive kickoff match. I hope WWE truly lives up to the theme Extreme Rules this year. The theme gives you the opportunity to have the best PPV of the year. My unpopular opinion is that Ziggler can't put over new talent. Example A: Tyler Breeze. The same thing is happening with Baron Corbin. The crazier part is Tyler Breeze a better talent. Corbin and Ziggler feud looks phenomenal on paper but the execution has been lackluster. This match is truly a toss up. I will go with Corbin but his booking might be endangered after this feud. Winner: Baron Corbin Kalisto VS RusevKalisto needs to be build up. He does not need to be teared down. Rusev winning here would be idiotic. Rusev needs to be in a different feud if they want him to become a main event player. Kalisto needs to have a long reign to make the United States Championship worth it again. Also the addition of the U.S Open Challenge featuring Kalisto could be quite interesting. With all that being said WWE will do the complete opposite. Winner: Rusev The New Day VS The VaudevillainsThe New Day VS The Vaudevillains I never thought we would have this match. This is a confusing pick honestly. I have a feeling The New Day will walk away as champions. There is no point in stopping their momentum. Winners: The New Day The Uso's VS Karl Anderson and Luke GallowsThis should be a good match. WWE needs to let Anderson and Gallows dominate and win convincingly. Realistically, The Uso's aren't even in Gallows and Anderson's league. Hopefully WWE makes the correct booking decision. Especially if you have AJ lose. You need to keep "The Club" strong. Winner: Gallows and Anderson SIDE NOTE: WWE's theming of Extreme Rules is odd. Why can't every match just have a stipulation? Who cares if it's to "gimmicky?" Dean Ambrose VS Chris JerichoIntroducing the Asylum Match. See now this is a cool match with a crazy stipulation. They created a new extreme match for the PPV. Dean Ambrose and Chris Jericho is a interesting feud. The matches have delivered and the overall storyline arc has been outlandish and fun. Exactly like wrestling is suppose to be FUN! Winner: Dean Ambrose The Miz VS Kevin Owens VS Cesaro VS Sami ZaynThis is a tough one to decide. The Miz has been a fantastic heel lately. The pairing with his wife Maryse is absolutely perfect. I wonder if Maryse is going to wrestle again, because if she does a Miz/Maryse VS Lana/Rusev feud would be a interesting match up. Cesaro is ready to hold the Intercontinental championship but I think WWE is going to let him stir until they really need him. Sami Zayn won't win a major match until a major event like SummerSlam. Kevin Owens and The Miz are the only logical picks for me. WWE is currently loving Kevin Owens. So KO reclaiming the title for the third time would be impressive early in his WWE career. The Miz might of just been a transition champion. I have a feeling WWE will put the strap on Owens because his feud with Sami Zayn is a guarantee sell for any card, any event, anywhere. A fatal four way also favors Kevin Owens style. Winner: Kevin Owens Charlotte VS NatalyaThis match is odd to me. For a couple of reasons.
Fans really want Natalya to win. Natalya's fans do deserve to see her finally win but WWE likes Charlotte. Charlotte=Female version of Roman Reigns. Winner: Charlotte Roman Reigns VS AJ StylesRoman Reigns. AJ Styles. Hated. Loved. Champion. People's Champion. This match is very difficult to watch for a number of reasons. Styles hasn't had a big PPV victory yet. Reigns is sadly not connecting with the fans. Roman Reigns was loved but WWE made him hated. Reigns lack of charisma and character made fans turn on him. Reigns also never got the benefit of the doubt. Reigns needs to face someone we hate! That's why the Sheamus feud worked so well for him. "Anybody but Sheamus!!!", that is exactly what Reigns needed. The reason why his feud with AJ is working well is because AJ Styles is a phenomenal worker! If WWE really wants Reigns to be a baby face they need him to face hated wrestlers. It won't be great quality of matches but at least people would cheer for Roman? WWE is doing the exact opposite. Dirtsheets are spewing rumors of a feud with John Cena and a feud with Seth Rollins. Both of those feuds would absolutely kill Roman Reigns. Cena is still liked more and Rollins is over with just about everybody. It would be nice to see AJ Styles win… but WWE doesn't want to end the Roman Empire anytime soon... Winner: Roman Reigns Additional Side Note: Cody Rhodes asked for his release from WWE. Where will he go next? Ring of Honor, Lucha Underground, or will he go to New Japan? Comment below! Thanks for reading! Follow @ZWrestleTalk and @TripleZ_87 on Twitter! ZWrestleTalk Owner and Head Writer Triple Z gives his predictions and analysis for WWE's Payback. Kalisto VS Ryback (Kickoff)WWE thought putting the U.S title on Kalisto was a good idea. Which it is a good idea, but there is just one problem. No one cares about the U.S title unless Cena is defending it every Monday. That is the truth and the title hasn't been the same since it has left Cena's side. When Alberto Del Rio won the title his hyped WWE return went into flames of disaster. The booking of Kalisto has been confusing and his opponent Ryback has been thrown around the card for the past couple of years. This kickoff match will do what a normal kickoff match does, it will just fill up time. WWE will further Kalisto's lackluster reign without giving him a worthy opponent. Winner: Kalisto Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady VS The VaudevillainsFinally WWE has rebuilt it's Tag Team Division. It is now a super deep division where the title will become more prestigious. Background on both teams, Enzo and Cass have been fan favorites down in NXT and would come out to thunderous reactions at TV and house shows. Enzo and Cass have charisma and are filled with excitement. The Vaudevillains on the other hand were also popular in NXT. Simon Gotch and Aiden English accomplished something Enzo and Cass did not. Winning the NXT Tag Team Chanmpionship in front of the biggest NXT crowd ever. Both teams bring fun in-ring abilities and larger than life characters to the ring. From a storyline standpoint and there is no such thing as logic in WWE anymore (Like I have said in numerous of articles) but there will be in this match. The heels, The Vaudevillains will advance to take on The New Day in a epic clash. Winners: The Vaudevillains Dolph Ziggler VS Baron CorbinThis match is another one I'm surprisingly excited for. Dolph Ziggler and Baron Corbin have created a "organic" feud. Ziggler and Corbin trading attacks is all that is needed when it comes to a debut feud. If WWE would of done the "Baron Corbin Feud Formula" for everyone that got raised to NXT. We would still be seeing Neville, Bo Dallas, and The Ascension in their true form. Corbin and Ziggler may be a show stealer at Payback. Corbin has to win though? Right? Oh wait remember Tyler Breeze when he faced Dolph Ziggler? He lost. Same fate for Corbin at Payback. Winner: Dolph Ziggler Dean Ambrose VS Chris JerichoIt's odd that fans are not excited for this matchup? Jericho and Ambtrose made a "organic" feud similar to Corbin and Ziggler. Ambrose creating the Ambrose Asylum is smart due to the fact WWE won't be pushing MizTV or the Highlight Reel anymore. That's the number one thing wrestling fans want when they tune into Monday Night RAW to watch wrestling is to watch a talk show (sarcasm). It's hard to tell who would win this matchup due to the fact Chris Jericho defeated AJ Styles at WrestleMania so technically Y2J is on a hot streak. Ambrose hasn't won at a PPV in forever so you would think this match would go to him. Right? I have a feeling there will be a screwy finish. Which in result, will create a number of people tweeting "What the heck Ambrose deserved it! Go away Jericho." I am personally excited for Jericho and Ambrose to go at it. Jericho has been on a roll since his return but it's time WWE focuses on Dean Ambrose. Ambrose has become WWE's "Lost Priority", Ambrose has been in line for a mega-star, main even push but he always seems to get lost in the shuffle. WWE will put Ambrose over Jericho at Payback. WWE will restart the push of Ambrose for it can only get scrapped once again. Winner: Dean Ambrose The Miz VS CesaroIf WWE really wants to establish a "New Era", you need to have Cesaro win at Payback. You can't use the long build excuse on this one. Cesaro has been ready for awhile and WWE can't squander another creative opportunity with him. The Miz will get another chance at gold, he always has had the ability to bounce back on to the championship scene. Cesaro hasn't been able to pick up chances until WWE started pushing him. It's time you put the belt on Cesaro and he defends it against everybody. Cesaro/Baron Corbin is the match-up I see down the line. The Miz has benefited from having Maryse at his side again. The Miz is a wonderful heel but after crushing Zack Ryder's hopeful push he really can't do the same to Cesaro. Cesaro would be a terrific mid-card building block it's time for WWE to get building. Winner: Cesaro Sami Zayn VS Kevin OwensThe most natural feud in the WWE. See what happens when NXT's creative team does you a favor? Kevin Owens is becoming the ultimate heel. Sami Zayn is becoming the second coming of Daniel Bryan. This match could go either way. Sami Zayn winning would be very cool but they need to build up his rise to the top. So in this situation I predict KO will secure a dominant, impressive victory over the "Underdog from the Underground." Winner: Kevin Owens Charlotte VS NatalyaWe have multiple story lines heading into this match. Let me list them all.
Charlotte gets the easy W. If Natalya wins then the WWE creative team has a couple of screws loose. Winner: Charlotte Who Will Be Running Monday Night RAW?WWE CEO and Chairman Vince McMahon will choose Shane McMahon to run Monday Night RAW but then will give Stephanie McMahon control of WWE Smackdown leading to the long-awaited and rumored brand split. Shane O'Mac will select more of a "smark" or NXT roster. While Stephanie will select a more "Mark" roster. Roman Reigns VS AJ StylesWell here is my long, complicated prediction for WWE Payback's main event. Earlier in the night, Gallows and Anderson are thrown out of the building leaving AJ with no help for the main event. Leaving Reigns to turn heel and AJ to get completely dominated by angry, aggressive Roman Reigns. Reigns will win the title and have heel interactions and the crowd will still boo. This would be in the master plan for WWE to set up a big money match at SummerSlam. AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson VS The Shield Your probably thinking I'm insane. Well I am but this match would sell. The two most dominant forces in the new era of wrestling clashing for the first time. To add to this exciting match, Reigns would be champion going in but the stipulation would be whoever gets the pin fall would win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. This could set up many possibilities, and the biggest one would be Seth Rollins reclaiming his title and leaving The Shield as a baby face. That's just my thinking on how to do it. Maybe they do a different angle, but Reigns will turn heel soon. Maybe he becomes a anti-hero. Winner: Roman Reigns WWE has major potential with this Payback card will they pull off a good show? Comment below! Follow @TripleZ_87 @ZWrestleTalk ZWrestleTalk's creator Triple Z adds some recruits for this special BreakDownZ. Meet the Guests
Andre the Giant Battle RoyalTriple Z: "The Big Red Machine" Kane will win this match. Kane is going to retire soon so this will be a send off for him. WWE hasn't built it up that much so Kane seems like an option. I wish somebody like Tyler Breeze would win. Winner: Kane Dom: I look forward to this year's match hoping the winner will be the beneficiary of a push ,as a result of his win. Hopefully they will allow the match to last a good 20 minutes. Winner Bray Wyatt Jordi: This matchup is one that grows with interest each year in my eyes. Saying that I feel it needs some kind of added bonus besides the trophy, until then winning it just seems a bit worthless. I wanted to say a returning Cesaro to win this but since his return isn't confirmed, Axel is the only other person to win in my eyes, due to his whole gimmick for the past two years being battle royal related and him not yet having picked up a win in one. Winner: Curtis Axel Lorenzo: There is not much to say for me with this. This whole concept has never really been built up and the winners never get any sort of real push. The one person who actually wouldve benefitted from this was Damien Sandow last year, but they went with The Big Show. So its like a match that just is put on at the last minute, especially with it on WrestleMania. Only Social Outcasts, Kane and Big Show really look like the ones to choose between since they are getting the most attention concerning this match. Im not sure who will get it. The only intriguing thing is who will win for me. Winner: Kane The Uso's VS The Dudley BoyzTriple Z: This is one of the three kickoff matches! Really? Three kickoff matches is that really necessary? Also this proves that WWE doesn't have long term ideas. Look at the return of the Dudley Boyz and Alberto Del Rio both started out fantastic and WWE then lost it's stride booking them. I rather of watched a heel Dudley Boyz go up against a baby face The New Day. I despise the League of Nations, and I think that group is just a waste of time. This will obviously be in favor of the Uso's. Winners: The Uso's Dom: This could be a sleeper match… If the Usos wrestle with their usual intensity and the Dudley Boyz can keep up with them. I really hope this will be a passing of the torch moment. Winner: The Uso's Jordi: I found this match actually quite hard to decide on. At first it looked like a clear Usos win, but then I thought more into it and realised that this story could actually be developed alot better than a simple face victory. Usos to pick up the win by being put through tables to set up a hypocrite Dudleys angle. Winners: The Uso's by DQ Lorenzo: Another match that was really feels like it was put on last minute. This feud is not hyped up well enough. I cant really comment in detail because it was randomly put together and a match just to fill the crowd honestly. Now, both tag teams will get their pop of course. The Dudley Boyz and The Usos will put on a fine match. Winner: The Uso's Kalisto VS RybackTriple Z : Here we go again, WWE and it's wonderful booking. I give them credit on trying to create a legitimate feud but in this scenario is it really necessary? Also doesn't this diminish the United States Championship? If the championship can't even be defended on WrestleMania… why does WWE even use it? A Cruiserweight Championship or a Hardcore Championship would fit perfectly in WWE's current mid-card and NXT caliber talent picture. Kalisto will pick up the victory in fabulous fashion. Winner: Kalisto Dom: Big guy vs small guy. David vs Goliath. Too bad nobody seems to care… I love Ryback and I think it will surprise people and be a very good matchup. Ryback will work hard in this matchup. Winner Kalisto Jordi: I feel like nothing good can be gained from Ryback winning this match. Treating Kallisto as a transitional champion and having him lose at Wrestlemania to Ryback, someone who creative can't seem to make their minds up about, can only hurt his career in my eyes, and I don't think that's something WWE want to do to someone who has such potential for merchandise. Winner: Kalisto Lorenzo: The reign of Kalisto has not been to what I expected and many other fans thought it be. Part of it has to be Kalisto not having enough singles matches to really show the champ he needed to be. This whole Ryback-Kalisto feud towards WrestleMania seemed to start up randomly. The story is not quite there. Its the classic, "David vs. Goliath" feel but the word 'classic' is not in the good way. Im sure Kalisto will showcase impressive spots in the match. Ryback will hopefully show up and do the best he can since its WrestleMania 32. Its a match many didnt want, including me, and Kalisto shouldve had a better opponent, but thats hard when half the roster is gone due to injury and one retired. Winner: Kalisto Team Total Divas VS Team B.A.D and BlondeTriple Z: This is likely Brie Bella's last WrestleMania which is a shame when she was a fun baby face to get behind. This will be Lana's first WrestleMania as a wrestler, and moths ago it was rumored they wanted her to be the face of the divas division. Paige's career has derailed since joining "Total Divas." The two teams have been thrown together especially with the fact Eva Marie is in this match. How will the Lana and Eva Marie sequence be in this match? It also is ironic how Emma and Paige were big-named divas during the first NXT Takeover and now they are in the "afterthought" match. It's obvious where WWE's heart lies, they want Eva Marie to be at the top. If you watch "Total Divas" you would understand. Winners: Total Divas Dom: A lot of talented wrestlers. I am really happy to see Emma back on the main roster! I think her team will win the match. Winners: B.A.D and Blonde Jordi: Honestly, who cares about this match? With the better Women's match higher up the card, this "Divas" five on five is just filler. Total Divas to win just because they have a TV show. Winner: Total Divas Lorenzo: This match had some actual build. Lana will have a first match and its on the biggest stage in WWE being WrestleMania. Im intrigued to how she delivers individually. Eva Marie caught me off guard being in this match. Will it be a good match? Not sure. Apparently, Brie Bella is leaving the company after WrestleMania 32 so that points more towards Team Total Divas. Obviously, this match wont be a spectacle but it should garner interest especially towards Lana and like I said, how she performs in her first ever match. Winner: Total Divas Kevin Owens VS Dolph Ziggler VS The Miz VS Sin Cara VS Sami Zayn VS Stardust VS Zack RyderTriple Z: Wow the injury bug must be in full effect. How in the world did Sin Cara and Zack Ryder get spots on the WrestleMania card. Zack Ryder? Yeah that Zack Ryder who probably had the worse downfall in WWE history. I have always liked Zack Ryder but it just seems very random that he would be placed in a big match like this. Kevin Owens will find a way to retain the championship. Kevin Owens needs a single feud with Sami Zayn this is how you start it. Either Sami Zayn or Kevin Owens will win this match. I think KO will get the victory. Winner: Kevin Owens Dom: It will be even better than last year's match .Sami Zayn will prove why he is so highly regarded. Stardust and Ryder have a chip on their shoulders. The Miz is on fire. KO is the best heel on the roster and Zigger is awesome. Winner Kevin Owens Jordi: Sami Zayn is WWE's second coming of Daniel Bryan. He has the fan favourite potential, the look and the raw ability, and he also has something DBry didnt. He has the natural enemy/Rival in Kevin Owens. This match is probably going to set up the most feuds to be carried on after the show, with a Zayn-Owens main roster feud a given, and maybe some sort of tag feud for Ryder and two of the other competitors, in order to bring Mojo Rawley up to the main roster and flesh out the tag division a bit more. Zayn to win, this match to be exciting. Winner: Sami Zayn Lorenzo: The odds seem to be stacked against Kevin Owens. I liked the way how Sami Zayn got onto the main roster. Originally, I thought it be just Owens against Sami Zayn and possibly add Neville to this, but unfortunately Neville is injured. Now, WWE added like 4 other guys and admittedly, its all clustered. Kevin Owens is still to me the favorite and should be. Is it gonna be a bad match? No I dont think so. I can see good spots in this match and it being the first WrestleMania for Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, they should deliver big. Im sure the match will be fine as long as the right guy wins. Winner: Kevin Owens The New Day VS The League of NationsTriple Z: My simple prediction. NEW DAY ROCKS! NEW DAY ROCKS! *jiggles at the end* Winners: The New Day Dom: 4 on 3 handicap match with 7 tremendous athletes. Kofi and Sheamus are the best of these seven wrestlers and have great chemistry. Big E can have a very physical matchup with Rusev. It will be a very good match. Looking forward to the New Day's entrance. Winners: League of Nations Jordi: With the WWE being insistent that the league of nations is now a thing, they have a heel stable that will find it very hard to naturally turn themselves in the crowds favour. This coupled with the New Days gargantuan fan approval, I feel like they can cement both teams into their roles by having the league win here. The new day should make a valiant effort and it should be a very exhausting match up for them, but league to win to cement their superheel status, and New Day to officially turn post match via crowd interaction. Winners: The League of Nations Lorenzo: What to say about this match. The New Day are over. Fans and myself love them. Everywhere they go, pops fired. They've been through everyone really. The League of Nations have come in. The New Day have looked to have gotten the upperhand against them. The League of Nation got their shots in too. Im not the biggest fan of this feud, but Im finding interest in it. The New Day are Tag Team Champions and last i heard the title are not even on the line and i think it will be a mistake to not have the titles on the line. Im hoping the titles are on the line come WrestleMania 32. Overall, it may surprisingly turn out to be a decent match. Winner:The League of Nations Charlotte VS Sasha Banks VS Becky LynchTriple Z: This match has extraordinary hype! The WWE Universe is expecting this to be the "Greatest Divas Match Ever" all the expectations are high! I think they will put on a great show but I also think it won't live up to these monster expectations. Especially with fans who time the matches… I feel like this won't please everyone. As a personal fan of Becky Lynch it would be epic to see her win. I also really like Sasha Banks so I would be fine with either. As long as the "Reign of Charlotte" ends. Winner: Sasha Banks Dom: This will be a very enjoyable contest. The three most talented women on the roster. Sasha can prove she is the future of the division. Winner: Sasha Banks Jordi: This is one of my matches I am most rallying for to be amazing. With the rumours of a womens title reinstatement the following Raw, I feel giving the title to Becky to make her the first Womens champion and charlotte the last Divas champion, and having her pin charlotte clean so that Sasha comes out without being beaten, gives all three Women a next step to take their careers towards. Hoping for a solid match here, Becky to kick some Lass. Winner: Becky Lynch Lorenzo: Another potential good match. It may possibly steal the show. Its gonna be at least a women's match that will consist of actual wrestling and three women who the fans actually like. It will be the first time since WrestleMania 22 were in for a real match and not the cringeworthy matches weve had for the last decade. As long as WWE gives them real time and lets them loose, were in for a real treat. Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and Charlotte are the three best women wrestlers on the main roster in a minute. In the end, Charlotte's reign will come to an end because a new champion will be crowned. Winner: Sasha Banks Chris Jericho VS AJ StylesTriple Z: AJ Styles being in WWE is still surreal for many. Having him be in a good feud with Chris Jericho is more surreal. I expect AJ to get his WrestleMania moment this Sunday. Winner: AJ Styles Dom: Another potential show stealer. Jericho is such a great heel and Styles is a old school baby face. If they are given enough time these two hall of famers can create a "Match of the Year" candidate. Winner: AJ Styles Jordi: This is by far the easiest match on the card to predict for me. AJ is such a big new brand to WWE that just by having such a high profile first feud I feel like they're setting him up to be big. Expect entertainment and spectacle from this matchup. AJ to win with either styles clash or, if they really want to set up a whingeing heel Jericho, by tapout to calf crusher. Winner: AJ Styles Lorenzo: The debut of AJ Styles in WWE was a good one and the crowd in Orlando that night popped loudly. AJ Styles' run in WWE right now has not been ruined yet. Chris Jericho seems to be the right fit to work with Styles in AJ's first feud. The fans like AJ Styles. I thought the feud shouldve ended at Fastlane, but with Chris Jericho turning heel seems to be a good way to make sense in continuing it. This will be AJ Styles' first WrestleMania in only almost of his WWE run and Im expecting AJ Styles will deliver to the highest he can. I have no doubt Chris Jericho will deliver since he always has for the most part. I'm expecting this match to be good with moves from AJ Styles those that really didnt follow him before havent seen that he has done in the past before he got here. Also, the feud needs to officially end here in Dallas at WrestleMania 32 Winner: AJ Styles Dean Ambrose VS Brock LesnarTriple Z: To paraphrase a line from Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. It's the Gladiators match of the century. It's the Lunatic from the Asylum VS the Son of Suplex City. It's going to be a absolute war. I mean anything can happen in this match up. Brock Lesnar usually pushes the PG envelope when he wrestles so this match will be legitimately hardcore. With that being said there is no way Dean Ambrose wins. If CM Punk couldn't beat the beast then Dean Ambrose won't be able too. This match will steal the show though. Winner: Brock Lesnar Dom: This will be a wild brawl. Could potentially be the match of the night. Ambrose will visit Suplex City and Brock will enter the Ambrose Asylum. I expect it to last 30 minutes. Winner: Dean Ambrose courtesy of Bray Wyatt interfering Jordi: If Ambrose loses another PPV match I'll cry. He needs the win here, and the only way I can see this match going is hard and long and violent. Thats the only way him beating Brock at the grandaddy of them all (not sorry vince) is going to look legit. Winner: Dean Ambrose Lorenzo: I'm so excited for this match. They seem to actually build this match up. Now at first, I was wondering what WWE will be doing with him, but this has to be the right fit in my eyes. I think WWE has done a fine job building it especially the likes of legends like Mick Foley and Terry Funk handing him signature weapons like 'Barbie' & a damn chainsaw. It gets me even more pumped. We all know Brock Lesnar is a freak of nature and intimidating, but Dean Ambrose loading himself with those two weapons and others as well will be very intriguing to see how Brock Lesnar handles that especially it being more of Dean Ambrose's environment. I think were gonna get a big tease with the chainsaw during the match where he starts it up with his sinister-crazy look on his face and tries to scare Lesnar. Im expecting blood on both guys. Its gonna be a fight and both will tear each other apart. Im going with the upset and picking Dean Ambrose to win Winner: Dean Ambrose Shane McMahon VS The UndertakerTriple Z: Shane McMahon could be the savior of the century. Shane McMahon could get rid of the stale authority storyline. There is only one big problem, he is facing a veteran with years of experience also one of the most dominant figures in the history of WrestleMania. Shane winning this match is very slim. The Hell in a Cell part also gives this match a complete advantage to Taker. Unless Sting, John Cena, or Kurt Angle show up this match will totally be Undertaker. Winner: The Undertaker Dom: With Shane O Mac you can't expect anything but a lot f jaw dropping moments. Again another match of the year candidate. On Raw those who were asking is Shane too old got their answer .Shane is in the best shape of his life. Taker seems to be in great shape too. Winner: Shane McMahon Jordi: Bye bye Taker. The old saying In wrestling is that everybody goes out on their back, and with this being in Texas and WWE in need of some new on screen freshness, I think its time they let Mark Calaway rest in peace. Winner: Shane McMahon Lorenzo: A match I did not see ever happening. Shane McMahon returning completely caught me off guard and I was marking out honestly. This match is one of the two that should be a must-watch. There are so many questions like will Shane win? Will this be The Undertaker's last WrestleMania match? There is so much interest in this. The match itself should deliver. Im hoping to see Shane in his classic baseball jersey and sweats look. I believe The Undertaker will deliver like always. This is Undertaker's hometown. This is a match of his that he knows only. The Undertaker will receive the hugest pop on that showThis is a first for me and others to see just a match between Shane and Taker. Everybody will have all eyes on this one. Its the type of match people are so undecided on because we want both guys to win. The real question here is: Will this be The Undertaker's last match? Maybe. If it is, it will be a night nobody will ever forget and I think it happens this Sunday. Winner: Shane McMahon Triple H VS Roman ReignsTriple Z: This is a match that we already know the result too. Roman Reigns will win this match and finally have his WrestleMania moment. Sadly no Seth Rollins to save the day this year... Winner: Roman Reigns Dom: It will be a tremendous fight .A fight, expect Roman to be aggressive and kick the Game's ass but Triple H won't go down without a fight. Winner: Roman Reigns Jordi: Lets be honest, who wants to see Roman win here? If you didn't say yes to that, how about a Triple H - (Face) Seth Rollins feud upon his return? Sound more exciting? That's because it is. With the lack of fan approval I expect that WWE wont be too keen to receive that level of fan backlash... and everyone wants to see Seth vs Hunter. Triple H to win with the pedigree. Winner: Triple H Lorenzo: This match is gonna be actually interesting for me. Its one of the main matches I wanna see. Look, we have Roman Reigns coming into this match with fans not behind him. They had him off TV for a couple of weeks, but the crowds still boo him. Hes obviously not over just yet. Triple H, on the other hand, is the champion. Although, hes the one being cheered and hes suppose to be the heel. That gets me nervous how the 80,000+ fans in Dallas will treat both guys. Im expecting boos raining down on Roman Reigns, but how Reigns will react to those boos will be the story for me, not just the match itself. Im expecting the match to actually turn out good too. We may get a tease of a heel turn from Roman Reigns since i heard WWE is going with the idea of turning him. Im pumped overall. I'm curious to know the reaction in the post-match when I say the WINNER will be Roman Reigns. WINNER: Roman Reigns Follow on Twitter @ZWrestleTalk @TripleZ_87 @domghosthunter @Jordi_DGAF @Renz559 ZWrestleTalk's Triple Z gives his analysis and predictions for Fastlane! Edge and Christian interview The New DayThis will just be a comedy segment. It's going to basically pitch the "Edge and Christian Show" that is going to be debuting on the WWE Network. It could also set up a Tag match for the New Day. Maybe Enzo and Cass make their long awaited debuts? Who better than Edge and Christian to introduce a new entertaining tag team. AJ Styles VS Chris JerichoI'm super pump for this match. WWE hasn't ruined AJ Styles yet, and the audience has been treating him like he's a big deal which he is. This Chris Jericho is the best Jericho I have seen in years. Where was this Jericho when he needed to put over the less talented Dolph Ziggler, Ryback, and Fandango? Jericho still put the talents over but it wasn't as affective. Styles organically got over from his in-ring style. Jericho can still go in the ring even though he is older. AJ Styles hasn't wrestled a lot of different faces yet. Which is a good thing… WWE needs to make sure Styles is successful in this feud. We can't have a "WWE Guys Pride" moment like Triple H did at WrestleMania when he didn't put over Sting. Jericho has to give more momentum to AJ Styles. It will benefit WWE with WrestleMania too. Winner: AJ Styles Ryback, Big Show, and Kane VS The Wyatt FamilyKANE's ,BIG SHOW'S ,AND RYBACK'S. That sounds awfully familiar to The Wizard of Oz. WWE Creative Team had another mental breakdown. This doesn't make sense at all, but Ryback, Kane, and Big Show are giant! WWE wants us to be impressed when the Wyatt Family dismantles the team of "Heroic Giants." This doesn't seem like a match WWE would book in 2016. This seems like a match they would book in 2012… The Wyatt's have creative loopholes too, don't get me wrong I can't always stay positive about the Wyatt Family. The Wyatt Family doesn't have competition. Realistically they don't no one can match up to those four guys. If WWE used "Entertainment" and "Creativity" they could be feuding with The New Day. It would be great feud, the anti-babyfaces going up against the oddball heels? Xavier Woods VS Bray Wyatt on the mic? Hopefully the Wyatt's don't blow the Brock Lesnar feud. WWE Creative will blow it but you already know that. Anyways, this match is super predictable. Winners: The Wyatt Family Kalisto VS Alberto Del Rio2 out of 3 falls. Alberto Del Rio did very well with this concept back in Lucha Underground. Kalisto and Alberto Del Rio should be able to have a fantastic match. Del Rio has had the worst return of a star since Batista in 2014. Del Rio could reclaim some much needed talk if he is able to have a good competitive match with Kalisto. I'm sure in this match there will be a lot of dives. I don't get why people get so frustrated with dives? It's a dive for crying out loud it's a entertaining and athletic move. Kalisto needs to keep the title. Having Del Rio win here would just cement Del Rio as "Worst Comeback Ever: But he won the U.S Title three times!!!" Kalisto needs to move on into a ladder match scenario for WrestleMania. Make the US Title important again. Winner: Kalisto Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks VS Naomi and TaminaThis match will take some heat either way. Fans will complain it's to short or they will complain and say WWE is racist for making Tamina and Naomi lose. It baffles me that people think Naomi should beat Becky Lynch or Sasha Banks in a match. Yes WWE, has a racist and ugly history but in this case, race isn't even the factor. Let me ask YOU the reader this? "Why would WWE let Naomi (far less talented than Sasha and Becky) beat Sasha or Becky in a singles match just because of her race???" It makes no sense, the best wrestlers will be the ones who get pushed. The ones who entertain the most and have good reps with the people in the back will get pushed! Naomi and Tamina are talented but not where they need to be with NXT on the rise. I think it's obvious you know I will pick the better team in this scenario. Winners: Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks Brie Bella VS CharlotteThis match could be memorable due to the emotion involved. If the audience gives this loud reactions it will make this match amazing. Charlotte is going to hold the title until WrestleMania 32, after that the Divas Title will become a hot potato. Brie Bella is retiring this Summer. So if Brie Bella wants a title run. WWE will give her a title run and it might be a day title run but it will be worth it. Even though Charlotte has had off and on momentum. If WWE wants to hit that sympathy card hard. Brie Bella would win the title in dramatic fashion making Charlotte pass out to the "YES" lock. I don't see it happening though. So I will have to go with my bland prediction of Charlotte. Winner: Charlotte Kevin Owens VS Dolph ZigglerUnpopular opinion: Dolph Ziggler isn't all that. After watching Dolph Ziggler recently I have realized the man can't keep a feud. Dolph shows flashes of stardom but then it poofs and it's gone. Ziggler and WWE Creative ruined Tyler Breeze. Tyler Breeze was fun of my favorites in NXT, he was a top heel and he was going to have a easy transition to the main roster. Sadly, they put him with Summer Rae, which honestly isn't that bad… But then they had him feud with Dolph Ziggler!!!! Dolph Ziggler has been tossed around by WWE management so much, why would Tyler Breeze feud with Dolph and lose the feud. Breeze has it all and if he would of been built up more without Dolph involved he would be on the card right now. Kevin Owens on the other hands hasn't been up on the main roster that long and has already established himself as a veteran. Owens can have fantastic matches. So Owens is a type of guy you need to let him face more people. Owens better not face Ziggler at WrestleMania. Yeah they put on good matches but I want something spectacular. Especially with Kevin Owens being a red hot heel someone could use that to their advantage and get over at WrestleMania. Styles? Maybe? Winner: Kevin Owens Roman Reigns VS Brock Lesnar VS Dean AmbroseWWE has set themselves up into another deadly crowd scenario. If I'm correct the match will go for a long time, early in the match the Wyatt's will take out Lesnar essentially eliminating him from #1 Contender contention. Dean Ambrose, will be the underdog and Roman Reigns will play the big dog. How do you have Roman Reigns beat Dean Ambrose clean again? How do you have Roman Reigns again when the fans will turn on it. Roman Reigns has had a up and down run in recent months. Ambrose is the guy. Ambrose is a Hardcore Daniel Bryan Psycho figure. Triple H VS Dean Ambrose, the audience would love it. Roman Reigns doesn't feel natural. I hate bashing Roman Reigns I really do. Reigns just doesn't seem natural in a place where there is tons of natural stars…. but once again I do not expect WWE to listen to the fans. I expect them to continue what they have been doing, they know we will still watch either way. Winner: Roman Reigns Follow @TripleZ_87 Follow @ZWrestleTalk |
