Damn, I thought this was going to take place on Mother's Day and they were going to honor the last PPV I remember taking place on that holiday and have whoever got the briefcases win a house. Another wasted opportunity.

This show better be good, because I think I've suffered enough on my birthday from WWE atrocities in the past.

Okay, thoughts on the matches set up so far without reading the thread, then reading the thread. Seth vs. AJ A bit early for this one but if AJ turns heel I'll be completely on board. Based on recent AJ feuds though this will get run into the ground until Summerslam. AJ retains. Owens vs. Kofi Sad that I am that we didn't get more Big O, I think this will be a great match, I'm excited to see what Kofi's title reign will be like, Owens can take a loss and keep his heat like an absolute master. The one thing I definitely WANT to see on this show. This is what my ten bucks is for. Kofi retains. Becky vs. Lacey Lacey is green and I don't think Becky's wrestling is her strongest suit. I don't remember seeing Becky dragging a good match out of someone usually not great, so I don't have high hopes. Becky retains. Becky vs. Charlotte Will be a great match that we have seen before. Becky will lose the title to Charlotte because of wear and tear from the Lacey match. Men's MITB It depresses me how many wrestlers in this lineup are guys I like a lot, and have nothing really going on. This should be a great spotfest, but I'm kind of tired of ladder spotfests. And God help us, I think Drew is winning, even though six of the guys in this I would be happy with them winning it, and precisely one (Corbin) I like winning less. And I even like Corbin more. Women's MITB They really need to build the women's division. So few of these women have anything going on either, although I'm a fan of fewer of them than the men. I hope this one manages to live up to the men's ones in standard. I think Dana is winning this, because she's getting some weird push at the moment. Miz vs. Shane in the cage I don't think I have ever seen a cage match I've liked in its own right, and I really hope they don't kill babyface Miz with this. Shane is falling off the top of that thing. My suspicion is that Miz pushes Shane off the cage through a table and so Miz keeps his heat but Shane wins the match. Roman vs. Elias God, I want to care about Roman's comeback so much and they aren't letting me. Roman wins in a snoozer. I'd go with Andrade as winner of the men's briefcase. He's over as a heel, ridiculously talented, and Zelina can make both him and the briefcase seem an even bigger deal. For the women, I'd go with Ember Moon. She needs a push, and she needs to be clearly defined in the eyes of the fans. In reality it will be McIntyre and Charlotte. He's not over at all. Dude is awesome, but nobody makes a peep until his matches reach second gear. 205 style. This is depressingly true. Andrade just seems to be having countless meaningless matches and mini-feuds with no goals or motivation.

Probably likely for the Kickoff, but the Cruiserweight title will see the light of day for MITB.

I'm really curious how they're going to structure this show because unless it comes at or near the end - which I doubt given how out of focus the women are lately - whoever wins the women's MITB match is going to look like a total freaking dumbass if they don't cash in.

They could go the route of scheduling the Womenβs MitB match after both of Beckyβs defenses, but Iβve been thinking she loses one of the titles on this show for a while, and she settles on the show where she still reigns. But now thereβs WILDCARD rules, which blows my previous logic to bits since she can show up on any brand when they feel like it now.

Especially if she retains both. Surely if she has both, you can challenge for both? Or just pick which one you want since she's had the shit kicked out of her by then.

You know, why not do an 2 Fall Triple Threat? 1st Fall for Raw, Becky wins and Charlotte pins Lacey for the SDL Belt.

Like at Wrestlemania 2000 where Kurt put his European and Intercontinental titles on the line in the same 2 out 3 falls match with Beniot becoming IC Champ and Jericho becoming European champ

No spoilers. Just watching RAW and after that Rollins/AJ hype video and both guys backstage promos putting this over as a dream match with a lot of Brock talk(it makes sense), but it has me dreading Brock ruining the match and we get a Triple Threat in Saudia Arabia....ugh.

This is a nice looking card, save for the 20 minutes of awful slow plodding crap that Roman/Elias will be. 18 minutes of slow Elias offense followed by a 2 minute comeback and win by Roman. The boos will reign (heh) down and the WWE will wonder how a 2 time cancer survivor is getting this reaction.
I'm interested in how they approach Becky double duty, though have an awful feeling they will have her drop both belts. (Beat Lacey, lose to Charlotte and then lose Raw belt via cash in)
Both World title matches should be good to great.
Mens ladder match is very intriguing to me. Lot of potential to put the briefcase on someone and build them up over the coming months like they did with Edge and Seth. Sami, Andrade, Ricochet, Ali, Finn could all benefit big time. Which of course means McIntyre or Corbin win
