Count me in for the "no titles change hands whatsoever tonight" expectations!

I think the only title that has a chance of changing hands tonight is the women's title. WWE likely can't resist the urge to put the title on Charlotte to get her closer to breaking Ric's record, despite the fact that she's put in zero effort to actually warrant another title run (she hasn't had a single good match since her return, and has put forth negative levels of effort in her matches as well).
And I will even go as far to say that she'll hang onto it until at least Payback, as I feel like any potential Iyo cash in will be ruined when Shotzi shows up.
With that being said, it would be better if Asuka walked out as champion tonight because the Flair/Belair feud doesn't need the title, nor should it involve it. Both women need to prove they can carry a feud outside of the title scene before I would even consider strapping either of them up again.

The quality of PPVs has been way higher in the last year with HHH's policy of smaller match cards. The benefit is tighter shows with all matches getting good time and no crowd exhaustion for the main event after already sitting through a bloated 10-12 match card. In this case though while I'm fine with no Rhea/Raquel or Theory/Santos I really think Becky/Trish deserved a spot on this card. It wouldn't be a major thing to find an extra 10-15 minutes of PPV time.
I don't know if there will be a successful cash-in but I'd definitely expect some kind of MITB shenanigans. I can see IYO trying to cash-in and being screwed over by Bayley to officially break them up exactly a year after they returned together. Priest I think might actually walk out world champion. He could realistically cash in on either Seth or Finn.

Still calling my shot that Priest walks out champion tonight. I see something like Finn has the match won and Priest throws him out of the ring and cashes in.

Looking forward to this. Cody/Brock 3 does nothing for me. Unsure why there isn't a stipulation.

Looking forward to this. Cody/Brock 3 does nothing for me. Unsure why there isn't a stipulation. It seemingly screams (or in brock's case squawks) for a stipulation but I see the logic. Third match where there's a clear winner and no doubt.

From what SRS said, someone in the company told him they were selling out live events just fine, so why add a stipulation. Would I have liked a stipulation? Hell yeah. Do I think Cody and Brock can have a satisfying third concluding match thatβs a straight up one-on-one match? Also hell yes.

I absoloutley feeling like 99% sure this is the night Bayley turns on IYO and costs her her cash in.
The story has constantly been and lastnight was no differnt that Bayley is a complete liability to IYO that has been costing her match after match...with the outlier being MITB when she cast her aside and gained success because of it.
