Dean Ambrose vs. Rob Van Dam

Prophecy:This one is a kickoff match, so my instinct is to go with RVD. He could use a belt to solidify his return. However, Ambrose has been awesome lately both in the ring and on the mic. I feel like he may hold onto the belt for a while.

Prophecy:This could really go either way. It's only a matter of time before RVD gets some gold in the WWE, but will it be during a pre-show? The Shield hasn't had much of a storyline recently so I'm going to say RVD wins here. This could possibly be a DQ, so he may or may not get the title.

Prophecy:just cant see him losing it yet if the tag titles are up for grab may chance for rvd

Prophecy:Not ready to drop the title yet.

Prophecy:Could go either way, wouldn't be surprised if RVD won

Prophecy:I'm not too strongly in picking Ambrose. Partly it's because I think the shield is going to separate soon, and we may have the new tag team champions at Summerslam. I'll guess I'll pick Rob Van Dam to win the match this time... I think it is time for the shield to split.

Prophecy:The Shield bore me to death, look forward to when they split up and Ambrose becomes a star on his own. I can't see any reason why he should lose here. RVD Via dq i reckon.

Prophecy:This match will set the bar for the rest of the event. RVD will do some crazy stuff in this match to get the win over Ambrose.

Prophecy:Hmmm.... this is actually a tough choice. I say RVD wins via DQ.

Prophecy:The disqualification victory might prevent RVD from becoming US champion, but in the end I see Henry & Show coming to his rescue resulting them to have a 6 man tag team championship match with the Shield defending all their titles Vs Henry, Show & Rob Van Dam at the night of champions pay per view.

Prophecy:Ambrose could use a high profile win and Van Dam is above this title anyway.

Prophecy:I think Ambrose does more with the title at this time and The Shield will lose their titles later on. I'm sure that for now they have bigger plans for RVD. Besides the US title is very commonly on a heel. The other Shield members will have nothing booked, so I think they'll end up helping Ambrose to get the win. DQ isn't likely for a pre-show match.

Prophecy:by dq

Prophecy:RVD has made a solid comeback and he will win the title soon, but I don't think it'll be tonight.

Prophecy:RVD wins via DQ after Shield interference which sets up a tag match for the main card.
