I'm sorry, I love Dolph Ziggler and all, but the Miz is straight fire right now. Ever since that Talking Smack promo, Miz has just been so great. I'd love to see Ziggler win the belt and get some kind of momentum going, but I think taking the title off of Miz tonight would be a mistake. I'm going with the Miz.
Now, this might just be me being blinded by what I want to happen over what I think will happen, but I'm going with Bray Wyatt for the win. After Orton got murked at SummerSlam by Brock Lesnar a month ago, I wouldn't put it past WWE to give Orton the W over Wyatt as compensation for doing the job for Lesnar. However, I think Bray Wyatt needs this win...a lot. Wyatt desperately needs a big, clean win after years of directionless booking. Again, it probably won't happen, but I'm picking Wyatt.
After the Usos kayfabe injured Chad Gable and knocked American Alpha off the Backlash card, they get a shot at their vacant spot against the Hype Bros, with the winner facing Heath Slater & Rhyno for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. I honestly don't think the Hype Bros have even the slightest chance in this match. Not only did we already see Slater & Rhyno vs the Hype Bros on SmackDown last week, but having the heel Usos go up against the face Slater & Rhyno makes more sense than a face vs face match. I'm going with the Usos. This leads into...
Match #4: Heath Slater & Rhyno vs The Usos/Hype Bros-SmackDown Tag Team Championships
Winners: Heath Slater & Rhyno
Regardless of who wins the Usos/Hype Bros match, I'm going with Slater & Rhyno to get the win and become the first ever SmackDown Tag Team Champions. Slater's been getting a great reaction since he's become the undrafted free agent and he's become one of the most likable and relatable wrestlers on the roster. Giving him & Rhyno the win and giving Slater a SmackDown contract could get a huge pop from the crowd, so I'm going with Slater & Rhyno for the win.
Match #5: Alexa Bliss vs Becky Lynch vs Carmella vs Naomi vs Natalya vs Nikki Bella-SmackDown Women's Championship
Winner: Nikki Bella
In the second match of the night to crown the inaugural champion of a new championship, the SmackDown Women's Division faces off in a Six-Pack Elimination match for the SmackDown Women's Championship. While there are six women in this match, I've narrowed it down to the two people who I think could win; Nikki Bella and Becky Lynch. And while I would love to see Becky finally win the big one, I'm going with Nikki, since she just came back from injury and I could see WWE giving her that comeback story. I'm picking Nikki.
It's time. It's got to happen tonight. AJ Styles needs to win the WWE World Championship. I don't have anything against Ambrose, but his run as champion has been pretty stale in all honesty. Styles, on the other hand, has so much momentum behind him after beating John Cena at SummerSlam. The only logical step after beating the biggest star in the company 100% clean is to put the biggest prize in the company on him. I'm going with Styles for the win and title.
