Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Akira Tozawa

Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Akira Tozawa

Jeremy: I can’t really think of a good reason to take the title off of Murphy here. I’m expecting Murphy to walk into Mania as champion. Pick: Buddy Murphy

Rich: Both men will wrestle hard ::Rasheed Wallace voice:: Pick: Buddy Murphy

James: Although I’d love the idea of Murphy graduating to Mondays to be Raw’s answer to Mustafa Ali, I think he’ll hold on to the belt (a “title” is a distinction, not a damn signifying object, Vince!) until Wrestlemania 35. Pick: Buddy Murphy

Ricky: Buddy Murphy will hold the title until WrestleMania as I predicted at the Royal Rumble. Pick: Buddy Murphy

Clive: Hmmmm. Tozawa dropped a bomb this week when he brought up beating Neville for the title, so what’s to stop him doing it here? With it being Mania season, I’ll play it safe. Pick: Buddy Murphy

Caleb: That Aussie guy. Pick: Friend Murphy

Tom: If they wanted to run Tozawa as champ they would have already. Murphy’s law, 1-2-3, holding the belt until Mania. Thank you, next.
Pick: Buddy Murphy

Simon: We’ll be in for a great match, but Buddy Murphy won’t be losing that title until at least WrestleMania. Pick: Buddy Murphy

Robb: Who cares? I didn’t even realize this was booked. Title safe till ‘Mania. Pick: Buddy Murphy

Wilfred: Buddy wins! Wicked apron spots, some move on the outside is wicked. The fans don’t see it as they are busy trying to get on camera. Pick: Buddy Murphy

Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin

Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin

Jeremy: Thank God this was turned into a no disqualification match. Even with this new stipulation, this match should go five minutes max. Pick: Braun Strowman

Rich: All this talent in this company and Baron Corbin is getting singles PPV Matches? I thought we were the authority! I didn’t book this shit and no one else did either! Have we been played? Was that a…WORK? Ricky, help! Pick: Braun Strowman

James: It’s no disqualification so you already know what it is: McIntyre’s about to cape up and save this hoe. Pick: Baron Corbin

Ricky: I thought this feud ended?!! Anyway, with it now being a no DQ match, we could end up seeing some fun and brutal spots. Pick: Braun Strowman

Clive: Pre-Mania PPVs aren’t kind to Strowman. I’m guessing some fu**ery will result in another defeat. Pick: Baron Corbin

Caleb: Who asked for this? Since it got the No DQ stip I’m gonna go wild. Pick: Baron “TGIF” Corbin

Tom: If there was any sense in this world Braun would win here, can we really make that bet? I’m going to, but it’s not the sure thing it should be. Pick: Braun Strowman

Simon: This feud should’ve ended at TLC, but we’re getting it again for some reason. I need Baron Corbin to go the way of Jinder Mahal…off my TV. Pick: Braun Strowman

Robb: Braun is a monster that shouldn’t lose to a dweeb like Corbin. Especially in a no DQ stip. Expect him to lose. (Also, who cares?) Pick: Baron Corbin

Wilfred: Braun attempts to shed his party animal gimmick and throws Corbin into a dumpster. Pick: Braun Strowman

Bobby Lashley (c) and Lio Rush vs. Finn Bálor

Bobby Lashley (c) and Lio Rush vs. Finn Bálor

Jeremy: A singles championship being defended in a handicap match is so stupid. I’m expecting Balor to win this by pinning Rush. Hopefully, Finn will get the chance to beat Lashley one on one at Fastlane.  Pick: Finn Balor

Rich: I’d rather Lashley sit this out, and let Lio and Finn do a blow away match. It’s time to belt Balor up. Pick: Finn Balor

James: Bobby Lashley has been a total bore since returning to WWE. Stop the Pain. Pick: Finn Balor

Ricky: Finn should win to follow up on the momentum of his performance at Royal Rumble. Picks up the win by pinning Lio Rush to continue the feud until Fastlane or WrestleMania. Pick: Finn Balor

Clive: My memory tells me that handicap matches usually favor the handicapped competitor. Could we see Finn pick up another singles title? I hope so. Watch out for Rush who is an excellent wrestler with a unique defense. Pick: Finn Balor

Caleb: Whether by DQ or pin, Lashley isn’t losing the title here. Pick: The guy who was booked better by Dixie Carter than Vince McMahon somehow.

Tom: So the stipulation here is that if Balor pins either Rush or Lashley he wins the Intercontinental championship. I think that actually works in his favor, he can pin Lio Rush and still get to the Lashley-Balor match that I think is the end game here. Pick: Finn Balor

Simon: Balor will probably be wrestling for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania again. A loss here would probably be used to build to his win at WrestleMania. Pick: Bobby Lashley & Lio Rush

Robb: Miscommunication is gonna get Lio stomped. It’s about time the company got back behind Finn and let him rock into WM with a strap. Pick: Finn Balor

Wilfred: Finn gets a huge win and people think that it’s his time to shine, only to lose the belt to Zack Ryder next month. Pick: Finn Balor

Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Ruby Riott

Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Ruby Riott

Jeremy: Ruby Riott is a very underrated talent and I’m glad she is having a singles match opportunity on PPV. Obviously, it’s obvious that Ruby has no chance of winning, but she can raise her stock with a great performance. Pick: Ronda Rousey

Rich: Jerry Flynn had a better chance against Goldberg. Ronda Rousey ain’t allowed to lose fake fights. Pick: Ronda Rousey

James: Ruby Riott could have Mark Furhman/Donald Sterling/Hulk Hogan-level audio recordings to blackmail Vince and she still wouldn’t win the Raw women’s championship on this show. Pick: Ronda Rousey

Ricky: A potentially good match that has been overlooked with the Becky Lynch, Charlotte and Rousey feud.  I give Ruby no chance to win but that doesn’t mean it won’t be a fun and solid match. Pick: Ronda Rousey

Clive: Well since nobody on Raw remembered Ruby Riott was alive this week, why should I think she’ll be a factor come, Mania? Rousey with the win, but should be a good match. Pick: Ronda Rousey

Caleb: Let’s not kid ourselves here. Pick: Ronnie

Tom: Ruby Riott is really good and I hope she gets to show that in this match, but there’s zero chance of her winning. Rousey remains undefeated, thank you next. Pick: Ronda Rousey

Simon: WWE already told you who would be in the main event of WrestleMania. Ruby Riott never stood a chance.  Pick: Ronda Rousey

Robb: I got a better chance deadlifting Big Show with one arm than Ruby eking this one out. Pick: Ronda Rousey

Wilfred: Rousey wins in 8:36 and taps out Riott girl. Becky appears on the screen but Rousey prevails Pick: Ronda Rousey

The Miz and Shane McMahon (c) vs. The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso)

The Miz and Shane McMahon (c) vs. The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso)

Jeremy: When will you people learn? Shane McMahon is THE BEST IN THE WORLD! He carried the Miz to the championship win at Royal Rumble and will do the same here. How do I know this? The answer is easy because Shane Mcmahon is THE BEST IN THE WORLD!  Pick: The Miz and Shane McMahon

Rich: I heard The Usos have some contracts coming up. This Shane and Miz thing is a mirage. I think SHANE is actually the guy not to trust in these streets. The Usos haven’t been around the belts since last Wrestlemania seems about time for their annual run. Hey Clive, Raw is the joke division, they are SIDELINED.

HOLD ON…

NEW INFORMATION HAS BEEN PRESENTED IN THE MIDDLE OF ME WRITING THIS. JIMMY USO APPARENTLY ASKED FOR THE FAIR 1 WITH THE POLICE IN DETROIT, HE AIN’T SHOOK OF NO SHANE MCMAHON AND MIZ! Pick: The Usos

James: If Miz and Shane have to be the tag champions in order for them to not face each other at Wrestlemania, then so be it. Pick: Miz & Shane McMahon

Ricky: Usos win which will lead to a rematch where Miz turns on Shane setting up a WrestleMania match. Pick: Usos

Clive: And people say Raw has the joke tag team division?? This match – and vehicle for a potential Miz vs Shane program – is not my cup of tea whatsoever. Terrible. Hopefully, Luke Harper returns with his rubber mallet and lays everyone out. Pick: Usos

Caleb: I’ll take the guys without DUIs here. Pick: McMiz

Tom: Look it should be the Usos, and who knows, maybe it will be. Mania’s coming up and ideally, this would be the one where the Usos make the main card and don’t get squashed. Being tag champs going into Mania would help with that, I just don’t think they’re gonna be tag champs. Pick: Miz & Shane

Simon: The Usos are one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history, but I don’t see them regaining the titles here. We’re probably in for the long haul with this Shane-Miz pairing.  Pick: The Miz & Shane McMahon

Robb: Contracts coming up, the seed planted for who knows who better… this has to be a turning point in the McMiz storyline. Pick: The Usos

Robb’s Edit: Usos really going all out in the DILLIGAF Awards. They just may have screwed themselves out the titles in these MAGA Days. New Pick: McMiz

Wilfred: Usos win in a street fight and it’s a new rough life for the tag division as Usos literally just want to fight cops now. Usos win and lose at Mania. Pick: USOS

Nia Jax and Tamina vs. Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville vs. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce vs. Bayley and Sasha Banks vs. Naomi and Carmella

Nia Jax and Tamina vs. Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville vs. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce vs. Bayley and Sasha Banks vs. Naomi and Carmella

Jeremy: One would think that Bayley and Sasha would be the way to go considering they’ve had them teaming so long. But I think they will save Bayley and Sasha winning the titles at Wrestlemania. And at Mania, they’ll want Bayley and Sasha over some odds so I see Nia and Tamina getting the win here. Pick Nia & Tamina

Rich: The Boss & Hug Connection EXPLODES. I’m going full swerve here with Sasha and Bayley finally turning on each other just when we think there is a no brainer scenario for them as the first champions. This company loves heat so…Pick Nia & Tamina

James: Two years ago, WWE couldn’t be bothered to “save” Bayley’s 1st championship win or Charlotte undefeated PPV streak until Wrestlemania 33, so I’m not buying that they’ll “save” Sasha and Bayley’s tag reign for WM35. However, I will admit that this is a GREAT spot for WWE to troll its fanbase with some shitty inaugural champions and they have lots of rotten options to choose from. Stay tuned. Pick: Sasha & Bayley

Ricky: It should be Sasha Banks and Bayley who win the titles thus showing everyone that WWE is going to treat this division well but I think they won’t win them until WrestleMania.  Nia and Tamina pick up the win giving them more heat and leading to a joyous occasion when Sasha and Bayley win the titles at WrestleMania. Pick Nia & Tamina

Clive: I’m looking forward to this one. Chamber matches are one of my favorite gimmicks. Many women could shine in this one, cementing a strong tag team division which has been done fairly well so far. However, I can’t see past Nia and Tamina picking up the win here. Pick Nia & Tamina

Caleb: So this is a real crapshoot. I’ll say anyone but Sasha & Bayley. Pick: Earth, Wind, Fire & Desire

Tom: Ohhhhh Lordy, this match. I think the obvious thing to remember here is the more Bayley & Sasha Banks do, the less trainwrecky the match will be. That being said I think Nia & Tamina won so that Bayley & Sasha hold off their title win until Wrestlemania. Pick: Nia & Tamina

Simon: This match might end up being a total disaster, but it would be worth it as long as Sasha Banks and Bayley end up winning the titles. Sadly, I’m not entirely sure that they’re winning this weekend. Pick: Nia Jax & Tamina

Robb: I just hope this one isn’t a stinker. Boss and Hug are naturally the best pick, but since this match isn’t happening at Mania, fully expect Nia and Tamina to steamroll into NJ with the straps. Pick: Nia Jax and Tamina

Wilfred: Nia/Tamina win and continue to piss people off. I laugh from a distance. Pick: Nia-Mina

Daniel Bryan (c) vs. AJ Styles vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton vs. Samoa Joe

Daniel Bryan (c) vs. AJ Styles vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton vs. Samoa Joe

Jeremy: I would love to see WWE do something completely unpredictable and have Kofi Kingston win the championship. However, I’m expecting no surprises here. I see Daniel Bryan weaseling his way to victory.  Pick: Daniel Bryan

Rich: It feels like there is something missing from this match. Oh yeah, young talent that hasn’t been on TV for a decade to 20 years. It should be a good match, however, unless Jeff jumps off the top of the chamber, and Kofi climbs all around this thing, it’s going to be grounded. Bryan wins as we search for a new babyface main eventer somewhere on Smackdown. Pick: Daniel Bryan

James: I’m wondering if (Harper and/or) Rowan will break into the chamber or pop up out of it like a jack-in-the-box. Pick: Daniel Bryan

Ricky: I’m looking forward to this match, every man can go which should lead to some wild spots and overall, a very good match.  I want to pick Samoa Joe but I think Daniel Bryan wins and goes on to face Mustafa Ali at WrestleMania. Samoa Joe is a real dark horse and is the only other person I can see winning the title if not Bryan. Pick: Daniel Bryan

Clive: The poor man’s Mustafa Ali admittedly put in a valiant Gauntlet performance this week. That confidence may even see him as the last challenger standing, but it will be all for naught. The Planet’s Champion will hold that beautiful title all the way to Mania. Bryan is on the form of his life right now and it would be wrong for him to drop it now.  Pick: Daniel Bryan

Caleb: Justice for my boy Mustafa Ali. Meanwhile, I’m going to go against every fiber of my being and predict that WWE goes with a wild card who can easily lose the belt at Fast Lane if they need him to. Pick: Kofi Kingston

Tom: Y’know what? F**k it. I’m picking Kofi Kingston. He’s waited too damn long! He’s been at this for 11 years! And this Sunday he finally becomes champ! (Will it happen? Who cares. I’m gonna root for the purest babyface in this match and hope for the best) Pick: Kofi Kingston

Simon: Either of these men could walk out the champion and it would make sense, but Bryan seems like he’ll be holding onto the title past WrestleMania, so I gotta go with the champ. My only hope is that Kofi Kingston gets another stellar performance in this match Pick: Daniel Bryan

Robb: It’s Black History Month. F*ck it. Kofi, game 6. Pick: Kofi Kingston

Wilfred: Samoa Joe eliminates everyone until DB rolls him up and keeps the belt. Pick: Daniel Bryan
