Another week, another set of outside the box predictions for the week in WWE. What does the crystal ball see for Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens?
One of my favorite pastimes as a WWE fan is to try and guess what’s going to happen in the future. I don’t go out of my way to spoil myself. But trying to get into the heads of the creative department is a good way to kill some time.
Last week’s Royal Rumble fallout had major implications on the Road to WrestleMania. With the Raw brand lacking a challenger for Brock Lesnar and the Universal Championship, Kurt Angle began the process of finding one. Three qualifying matches took place for the Elimination Chamber, where the winner will go on to face Lesnar at WrestleMania. Elias, Braun Strowman, and John Cena have already qualified, but three spots remain.
There’s also going to be an Elimination Chamber match for the Raw Women’s Division – and it’s going to be a championship match, to boot. Alexa Bliss entering to face five of the best Raw has to offer. Who will step up to the challenge?
The SmackDown brand already has its big WrestleMania match between WWE Champion AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura. But that’s only if Styles makes it to WrestleMania as champion. With Fastlane on the docket for March, the superstars of SmackDown have one last stop before hitting NOLA. With the Yep Movement about to face off for a shot at the WWE Championship, what does it mean for Fastlane – and WrestleMania?
So join me as I peer into my crystal ball and fight the lousy reception to give you some bold predictions for the week of Feb. 5, 2018.
