During a Raw opening segment WWE will have Reigns grab Stephanie's wrist when she tries to slap him for the 48th time. Steph will let out a surprised squeal that will be misinterpreted by some as her screaming in pain.

SOCIAL JUSTICE CHAOS WILL ENSUE. Twitter will blow up. Tumblr will have a rage-induced aneurysm that pops upon the 16th replay of the event during hour two. By hour 3 Steph has issued a public apology and Roman's been fired. The main event segment is a 15 minute promo by Stephanie as she closes the show assuring us that she's OK.

Covered it...


For 2016 Predictions (Layups- simple, go without saying stuff. Curveballs- kind of out there, but not totally farfetched. Hot Takes: The farfetched, out there predictions):

LAYUPS:

-Cesaro will win the Money in the Bank briefcase, but fail to win his cashin.
-WWE will get back the indoor attendance record at Wrestlemania 32 (see below.)
-Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Jay Lethal will be part of a big title vs. title match...with Finn Balor at NXT Takeover: Dallas.
-Total Divas will be cancelled.
-The Bella Twins will leave the WWE.


CURVEBALLS:

-Vince McMahon will step down from WWE after Wrestlemania 32.
-Paige will leave the WWE.
-WWE will purchase the contract of a Lucha Underground wrestler instead of waiting for a contract to expire.
-WWE will give NXT a B-show and separate the "national" brand from the "Florida" brand.
-The Authority will *try* to turn face.

HOT TAKES:

-Either on WWE or in NXT, a woman will win a men's championship.
-John Cena and Randy Orton will retire.
-Daniel Bryan will not, but he will leave the WWE.
-EVOLVE and SHIMMER will each have a live special on the WWE Network with anyone in WWE or NXT allowed to return.
-The Hardy Boys and Kurt Angle will NOT return to the WWE in 2016. Derrick Bateman WILL.

[kevin]

Dean Ambrose will win the world title at Summerslam.
Dolph will align with the authority and win MITB.
Ceasero and Kevin Owens will have a long IC title feud.
Cena will bring back the open challenge.
ADR will be World Champ sometime this year.
Cameron, Sasha Banks, Paige, Charlotte and Becky Lynch will all be Divas champ this year.
Neville will turn heel and become tag champ with the Miz.

[Dragonfly]

- By the end of 2016, both AJ Styles and Jay Lethal sign with the WWE. Lethal makes it to Raw in short order; AJ is still in NXT ala Samoa Joe.
- GFW collapses, allowing Magnus and Bobby Roode to sign with NXT.
- Finn Balor wins money in the bank.
- Enzo and Big Cass make their debut at the Rumble.
- Next year's NXT breakout star is this year's Performance Center nobody.
- TNA will somehow still be in business.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

WWE sign Magnus
Cesaro finally gets a reluctant push
Dean turns heel
ADR gets a world title win
Balor debuts on Raw
Barrett jobs
Stardust goes back to Cody
Kalisto gets a singles title
Owens feuds with Reigns
Neville gets a midcard push and possibly picks up the tag titles
Angle returns to some degree
Hardys return and feud with Dudleys
Kane and Big Show continue to stink up the show

[Instant Classic]

The Dudleys will win the tag titles
Ambrose will win the world title
Ziggler will turn heel
Sting goes in to the HOF

[Heartbreaker]

Triple H or John Cena win the Royal Rumble. The fans are pissed and continue to hijack the shows the third year in a row.

The Authority still exist until 2034. Steph continues her alpha act and the MITB winner is their special guy... again.

Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, Enzo & Big Cass and Bayley are all called up to the main roster and are used terribly.

WWE keep trying to make Alberto Del Rio a thing.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

New Day splits up with Xavier being stuck as the guy who "can't move on from New Day" as WWE repeatedly tries to recapture the magic of what made New Day work by putting Xavier in random makeshift teams to continue doing his glorified manager schtick with limited success.

The Hype Bros become NXT Tag Team Champions

Tino Sabbatelli is introduced on WWE/NXT television as "The Star of Breaking Ground".

[Nickybojelais]

A crazy wild prediction, but I think the January 4th episode of Raw will open up with an in-ring promo by the Authority
