Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks

Predictions & Winners: As fas as PPV Kickoff matches go, this one has the potential to be the best one of 2015. That grand prediction of ours depends on how much time this match gets. Both Divas have created magic during their NXT bouts, so our expectations are high for Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks to deliver one of the best matches on the night. Since Becky doesn’t have any of her stablemates backing her any more, we have to give the edge in this match to Sasha Banks. Naomi and Tamina Snuka will intervene somehow and cause Becky to make a costly mistake. After a hard fought battle, we’ll witness that devastating Banks Statement backbreaker/submission hold and Sasha will prevail.
Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Jack Swagger (Chairs Match for the WWE United States Championship)

Predictions & Winners: Hey everyone, it’s the WrestleMania 29 rematch no one asked for! In all seriousness though, the winner of this matchup is a complete forgone conclusion. Alberto Del Rio has returned to the WWE with an awesome tan, better conditioning and a newfound mean streak. Now that he’s dropped Zeb Coulter as his co-manager of MexAmerica, Rio is running around with the United States champion along with his League of Nations stablemates. Zeb’s former accomplice Jack Swagger climbed out of the whole he was hiding in and is back to face Rio in a Chairs match for the title. Swagger and Rio will have a decent match and all, no doubt. But you can expect to see Rio leave TLC 2015 with his title still intact. Don’t be surprised to see Zeb realign himself with his former partner Swagger, either.
Ryback vs. Rusev (with Lana)
Predictions & Winners: Ryback is hungry (as usual) and Rusev seems to be rejuvenated thanks to to Lana having his back again. This random feud hasn’t exactly been deep or thought provoking, mind you. Ryback recently bested Rusev due to a count out when Lana needed some tending to. Rusev got his revenge on Ryback by locking him in The Accolade and forgoing a victory in the process. So this is how we’ve arrived at this PPV match. This battle will be just as physical as their previous contests. We have a gut feeling that Lana will try to throw Ryback off his game once again, but he’ll be too smart this time around and see right through her mind games. Ryback will put down Rusev and prevail within the (short) war that’s been brewing between him and the Bulgarian Brute.
The ECW Originals (The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley), Tommy Dreamer, and Rhyno) vs. The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman, Luke Harper, and Erick Rowan) (8-Man Tag Team Elimination Tables Match)
Predictions & Winners: ECW! ECW! ECW! The hardcore wrestling cult fans still chant about today have been compiled into a 4-man crew to combat The Wyatt Family. We were expecting to see Spike Dudley or even The Sandman pop up during this feud, but we’re fine with Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno taking up their slack. This Tables match will break down into pure and utter chaos. And that’s just how we like it! It only makes sense for The Wyatt Family to take the W here. They’ve had to eat far too many pins lately, so we see them proving their stable dominance once again by doing away with Team ECW. This war will be an entertaining one, that’s for sure!
Charlotte (c) vs. Paige (WWE Divas Championship)
Predictions & Winners: Paige has gone full super heel, hasn’t she? She did the unthinkable on the last RAW before this event – SHE SLAPPED THE NATURE BOY! HOW DARE SHE? We giggled a lil’ bit at that, to be quite honest with you all. Anyways, Flair will be in his daughter’s corner for this Divas championship bout. Both women will go at it even more intense than before and put on a match that the crowd won’t completely sit on their hands for this time. We can totally see Becky Lynch getting involved in the match’s proceedings and so will Flair. In the end, Charlotte will pull off some nefarious dirty tactics to keep the title. Something tells us Becky will realign herself with Paige due to their combined disdain for Charlotte. Charlotte’s on her way to becoming just as dirty in the ring as her Pops used to be.
The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston and/or Xavier Woods) (c) vs. The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) vs. The Lucha Dragons (Kalisto and Sin Cara) (Triple Threat Tag Team Ladder match for the WWE Tag Team Championship)
Predictions & Winners: This Ladder match had better live up to our grand expectations for it! These three teams are tailor made to pull off something incredible, especially when ladders are a part of the equation. We hope this ones mimics the surprising quality of the Armageddon 2006 tag team ladder match. The New Day have been on a tear lately as the most entertaining squad in WWE. The Usos have returned to active competition and The Lucha Dragons have never strayed too far away from the Tag Team Championship lately. While The New Day have been going strong for so long, we think their title reign will come to a close here. We see the match boiling down to a battle on the ladders between The Usos and The Lucha Dragons. Somehow someway, The Lucha Dragons will shock the world and become the new Tag Team champions! And New Day will cry and moan about not even being involved during this moment, which gives them a reason to get their deserved rematch.
Kevin Owens (c) vs. Dean Ambrose (WWE Intercontinental Championship)
Predictions & Winners: This match has the potential to be one of the more quality bouts of the evening. They put on the best match at Survivor Series 2015, so we have high hopes that they’ll do even better with a championship on the line. WWE doesn’t seem to push Ambrose as much as he should be, but we think they’ll finally throw him a bone here. Both men will put on an amazing contest for the Intercontinental championship, no doubt. We envision Ambrose being the one walking out of TLC 2015 with the title around his waist. It’s about damn time Ambrose got a win that actually mattered. This is the one! We love Owens, but Ambrose looks to be the one who will get over on him and enjoy a good title run afterwards.
Sheamus (c) vs. Roman Reigns (Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship)
Predictions & Winners: Sheamus 5:15 has been running roughshod over the WWE lately. He’s gained new allies in the form of the League of Nations and has made Roman Reigns’ life a living hell. With the WWE World Heavyweight Championship firmly held in his grasp, Sheamus has become even more cocky and louder than he usually is. Both men will have to use a combination of tables, ladders and chairs as they fight to become the rightful champion. We see this match ending in some type of screwy finish where both stablemates of these competitors will get involved. While there’s so much action going on between Reigns’ boys and Sheamus’ international partners, we expect Sheamus to sneak up the ladder somehow and win the match. This feud won’t end here, though! Sheamus vs. Reigns shall continue into 2016!
