WWE MITB 2023 Predictions: Cody Rhodes Will Finish The Story
By Mark Justice
Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Piper Niven [SmackDown Women’s Championship]
Rhea Ripley will defend her title against Piper Niven next since Piper Niven is from Scotland and WWE would want to capitalize on the home-court advantage she would have in this bout. An argument can also be made for Tegan Nox to be in this spot since she is from Wales. However, Ripley and Niven both have history from NXT UK, and there would be more stories to tell that would be fitting for this special occasion. They have great chemistry in the ring, and it should be a fun match. Ripley will obviously retain, garner heel heat, and continue her dominant run as champ.
Prediction: Rhea Ripley
Seth Rollins (c) vs. Finn Balor [World Heavyweight Championship]
Seth Rollins will defend his title against Finn Balor next since Finn Balor is from Ireland and WWE would want to capitalize on the home-court advantage he would have in this bout. Rollins and Balor were actually the Raw finalists for this brand-new World Heavyweight Championship, so Balor has the momentum, buildup, and credibility for this title opportunity. He also has a lot of history with Rollins, especially in the world title scene. When Balor battled Seth for the universal title, Balor won. Now, Seth will flip the switch and retain the title on his first title defense.
Prediction: Seth Rollins
