Man, the Smackdown Women's Championship match is incredibly predictable. The only unpredictable element is if Ronda gets cashed in on.
The RAW Women's Championship match is a little less predictable but the odds are very much in favor of Bianca retaining, especially since I don't see Judgement Day's status improving now that Edge is out of the group, it gives Creative/Vince way less of a reason to actually care about how they are handled. Especially since Finn is leading the group now, and he's been portrayed as nothing more than a massive loser.

My hope is for Sami to win MITB and continue trying to ingratiate himself with The Bloodline then one week he just gently suggests that he might cash-in on Roman and the Usos fly off the handle and just deliver like a brutal, violent beating. So bad that even that bastard Kevin Owens thinks it’s too much and shows up the next week to defend his old friend and the endgame is Owens and Zayn as faces beating the Usos for the tag titles at Summerslam. I think that would be a great moment for them and it’s a little surprising they’ve never had a tag title run.

They need to put Shotzi's crazy ass in the women's ladder match, though.

They need to put Shotzi's crazy ass in the women's ladder match, though. Depends on if they do the even split between RAW and SmackDown or not. There are currently 11 women listed for SmackDown’s roster, but six of them are currently out of commission for the remaining three spots (Rousey and Natalya in the title match, Banks and Naomi taking their leave of protest, Evans already qualifying for the match and Flair off doing a marry… but she could be back at any time at this point). Which leaves us with Aliyah, Rodriguez, Baszler, Shotzi and Li, who’d already lost a qualifier. Rodriguez seems like a shoe-in for one of them, at least.

I'm not quite understanding why Roman vs. Riddle is on Smackdown and not at this show.
Then at least we could have some intrigue of someone cashing in on the champion at the show.

Have they confirmed how many people are in the match? Last year I believe it was eight with four from each show. With them doing qualifying matches to get in I don't know how they would do that this year. There's only four available women available left to compete for spots on SD. Aliyah, Raquel, Shayna, and Shotzi. Unless they do a last chance triple threat with all the losers for the fourth spot. On Raw I'm guessing it will be Becky, Asuka, Alexa, and Liv if it's four apiece. I have a tough time seeing any of those four left out but if came to it and there's only three each then I guess Liv will probably be the one left out. Or maybe Becky if they are serious about this tailspin angle and she ends up doing a run in instead to screw Asuka over during the match. With her heavily featured on the poster though I find that unlikely.

If Raw does qualifying matches then I don't know how they could get more then four either unless I'm forgetting someone they have eight available women. Becky, Asuka, Alexa, Liv, Dana, Doudrop, Sonya, and Nikki. Zelina is injured and Carmella is MIA for some reason. Maybe injury as well as I remember there being reports months back of her working hurt. I think there's been times in the past with MITB or Elimination Chamber where one brand has qualifiers and the other doesn't. So maybe Raw just announces five and then SD does has three who get in via qualifiers.

She was added to all of the advertising for Smackdown shows starting in mid-July at the earliest. Plus Andrade is already back wrestling in AEW now, so it's likely only a matter of time until Charlotte returns. And if she's in MITB, it's going to be between her and Becky as the winners.

I'd figure Lacey, but yeah can never rule out those two. I would prefer Bayley over Charlotte if they are going to give it to a returning star but I don't know if she's cleared yet. I would think she's has to be at least close as it's been a year now. Not like it would stop them but Charlotte winning would be so unnecessary. She's always in the title picture anyways so it's not like she needs it. However them using it as a way to continue to stretch their feud is a possibility. Would also give Ronda an out and get around them not having any other credible heels on Smackdown I don't know if Becky is even going to be in the match with her facing Asuka in a qualifier next week which is interesting as it's hard to imagine either of those two being left out especially since then it makes you wonder who would get the fourth spot on Raw as no one else is getting pushed with Liv and Alexa already in the match and Rhea challenging Bianca on the show. I guess Asuka wins to continue the Becky tailspin story and Becky weasels her way in some how on the go home. Even if Becky is in the match I don't think she's going to win with her current storyline direction. At the moment I think Lacey is probably my pick as she was booked to win the title before she had to leave and the event is also Fourth of July weekend so I could see them having that be the big patriotic win with Cody now being injured.

Asuka's a jobber now so she'll probably lose to Becky next week.

Asuka's a jobber now so she'll probably lose to Becky next week. They haven't booked as well as they should've after her return but she's definitely not a jobber. A jobber is someone who just gets squashed and has no direction. If she was losing to the likes of say Nikki and Doudrop then yes you could probably say she's a jobber. She has lost competitive matches to the current champion and the top heel whom she's also currently in a feud with. Also if she loses next week then who gets the fourth spot on Raw? At least if Becky loses she can complain about it and weasel her way somehow stemming from that. Asuka you can't do that since that wouldn't be a face thing to do. I'm guessing Asuka wins maybe wins after Dana helps her and then Becky finds some other way in.
