Kenny Omega (c) vs. PAC vs. Orange Cassidy

Prediction: Omega wins. OC eats the pin.

Women's Championship
Hikaru Shida (c) vs. Britt Baker

Prediction: Don't see any way they don't put the belt on Britt at this point. She's become the star of the division.

Tag Team Championship
Young Bucks (c) vs. Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston

Prediction: This isn't WWE, so they're not taking the belts off an established successful team to put it on a makeshift team. Bucks win.

TNT Championship
Miro (c) vs. Lance Archer

Prediction: Has to be Miro who I feel has really recovered since his rough debut.

Stadium Stampede Match
The Pinnacle vs. Inner Circle

Prediction: Pinnacle. It's time to break up the Inner Circle and put Jericho on the path to retirement.

Sting & Darby Allin vs. Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page

Prediction: My head says Darby and Sting win, but a Sky/Page win would be a better story and do more for them longterm.

Hangman Page vs. Brian Cage

Prediction: Hangman gets his win back to start building his run towards an eventual Omega feud.

Cody Rhodes vs. Anthony Ogogo

Prediction: My head says Cody, but I really hope they give it to Ogogo.

Casino Battle Royal

Prediction. Christian Cage wins to set up a match with Omega at Fight for the Fallen or Fyter Fest.

I agree with your predictions for the most part, though a Omega pinning Pac does more for Omega.


Miro's finally starting to show his potential.



I'd love to see the Bucks lose, but that's because I can't stand the Bucks and don't find them interesting. I'd be ok if the Bucks win as long as they get the holy hell kicked out of him.


They never did any favors for Shida, and honestly when I watch her I think she's unpolished, and its Britts time.


I think Fozzie has announced a tour so Jericho is going away for a while I think


No Conti on the card, wonder why, I think right now, she's the best woman worker on their lineup outside of Britt.

Triple H even thinks that was a bit much


It looked like a bad version of what he wore at wrestlemania in San Francisco, the terminator one

I think theres a big surprise in the casino battle royal too

Tony 'Montana' Khan got crushed for setting expectations too high last time, he has to have something up his sleeve, especially with the video friday talking up njpw and mocking nick khan

Shida deserves a lot of praise for carrying the division while the company built depth and had to deal with COVID, and I really hope she gets another long run at some point in front of the fans, but Britt is so hot at the moment, it'd be insane not to put the belt on her.

Say what you will about the Bucks, but I can't remember the last time they had a bad PPV match.

Jungle Boy is also way more over with the live crowd than I remembered him being. Jungle Boy/Omega will be a fun match.

His last few pre match freestyles have been really funny

God damn, if I can look and move as well as Sting does when I'm his age, I'll absolutely take it.

Mark Henry goes to AEW. That's a pretty big loss, he was doing a lot of scouting and mentoring in WWE.

Great show! Don’t watch a lot of wrestling anymore but I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish. WWE hasn’t put on a ppv this good in decades.

Yeah, that was easily the best wrestling PPV I've seen so far this year.

When AEW sticks to their formula of just putting on good wrestling matches, it's generally enjoyable. They just need to stop dipping their toes into the over the top sports entertainment stuff that requires really good production quality/effects, as that's more WWE's wheelhouse.

I use a VPN and set my country to Mexico. Then I order it from Fite.TV for $19.99 USD.
