4. Naomi and Tamina vs. The Bella Twins (Nikki Bella and Brie Bella) in a Divas Tag Team Match
The Bellas Twins have been nearly unstoppable since Nikki won the title from AJ Lee at Survivor Series. Nikki’s in-ring ability has been top notch while Brie’s ability to cause major distractions and keep opponents off balance outside the ring has helped her sister greatly.
But Naomi looks like a real powerhouse and Tamina Snuka is no slouch either. Both of those Divas can cause some serious damage to the Bella Twins who rely a lot more on finesse than power to beat their opponents.
Prediction: The Bella Twins win – But ultimately it won’t matter as the Bella Twins still manage to use some Twin Magic to confuse the referees and overwhelm the over-aggressive Naomi to get the victory.
5. Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus in a Singles Match
Ziggler and Sheamus have been going at it for months but their rivalry didn’t end in the “Kiss Me Arse” match at Xtreme Rules, merely kicked it up a few more notches after Sheamus hit Ziggler with a low blow after losing.
It’s always exciting to see these two veterans go at it in the ring and the contrast of styles always makes for an entertaining bout. Between Ziggler’s energy and speed and Sheamus’s technical prowess and power, this could be the sleeper match of the night that turns into a real battle as the two try to climb to the top of the WWE ranks again.
Prediction: Sheamus wins – After losing to Ziggler last month, it’s easy to see him gaining ground in this rivalry.
6. The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston w/ Xavier Woods) (c) vs. Tyson Kidd and Cesaro (w/ Natalya) in 2-out-of-3 Falls Match for WWE Tag Team Championships
In one of the more unique and interesting matches on the card, The New Day defend their titles against Tyson Kidd and Cesaro in a match where you need to record to pinfalls/submissions/DQ-wins over the opponent to win the match.
The New Day realized in the past two months that they could channel the fans’ hatred of them into tag team gold and did that to perfection by cheating their way to multiple wins over Kidd and Cesaro. The New Day is having a lot more success as villains than they did as fun-loving guys and they should continue to do so as they defend their titles in this competitive match.
Prediction: The New Day Retain Tag Team Titles – In what should be an exciting match that ends in a fair bit of controversy, look for the New Day to bend the rules again and come away with the gold once again.
