Prophecies of DaSavior
Battleground 2017
Jinder Mahal vs. Randy OrtonPunjabi Prison Match for the WWE ChampionshipPrediction:Jinder Mahal
Prophecy:Three times the charm, I guess. Their match at Backlash was ok and their match at Money in the Bank was bad. I don't want to imagine what the quality of this match will be. I assume Mahal will move on to Cena at SummerSlam. Just remember the Punjabi Prison is made of STEEL REINFORCED BAMBOO!
Result:Jinder Mahal wins

The Usos vs. The New Day (2 of the 3)WWE SmackDown Tag Team ChampionshipPrediction:The Usos
Prophecy:I don't know at this point, it is really early to tell for this one. Betting against New Day isn't always safe, and betting on New Day can bite you in the ass as well. I'll give this one more time. I just hope the rap battle doesn't reflect how this match will go. ''Don't get all Rated-R like your boy, Xavier Woods.'' Geez!
Result:The New Day (Kofi & Woods) win

A.J. Styles vs. Kevin OwensWWE United States ChampionshipPrediction:A.J. Styles
Prophecy:I don't know what to think here, as well. I personally don't like the Face of America gimmick for Kevin Owens. I get it, he's Canadian. That doesn't mean he has to have a gimmick related to America as the United States Champion. Please end the foreigner and anti-American heel gimmicks, this is 2017. EDIT: AJ Styles won the US Title at a house show, so unless they put it back on Owens before then, I guess Styles will retain the title.
Result:Kevin Owens wins

Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte vs. Lana vs. Natalya vs. TaminaFatal 5-Way for a WWE SmackDown Women's Championship Match at SummerSlamPrediction:Natalya
Prophecy:I'm getting a hunch that Natalya will get a shot at the title considering she was the leader of the Welcoming Committee. She won't win the title, Mella will cash-in on Naomi after the match at SummerSlam, but at least Nattie gets a shot at a Big-4 PPV.
Result:Natalya wins

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Baron CorbinPrediction:Shinsuke Nakamura
Prophecy:Corbin is bound to be the WWE Champion later in 2017 or early 2018, though I assume he will win the title before 2017 ends and might walk into 2018 with it. They usually have the MITB holder lose a few matches with the briefcase since it helps with immediate title feuds after it is cashed-in. I expect Nakamura to win and eventually challenge Corbin for the WWE Title when he wins it.
Result:Shinsuke Nakamura wins

Tye Dillinger vs. Aiden EnglishKickoff MatchPrediction:Tye Dillinger
Prophecy:The face is always the safe bet when predicting the match that is on the Kickoff Show. I wish Dillinger had a spot in the MITB Ladder Match last month, though.
Result:Aiden English wins

Sami Zayn vs. Mike KanellisPrediction:Mike Kanellis
Prophecy:Leave it to WWE to make Mike take his wife's last name instead of keeping Bennett. I don't have an issue with people that do this, but others are obviously gonna joke about this. This "Power of Love" gimmick has a low ceiling, but everyone usually wins their PPV debut.
Result:Sami Zayn wins
