I’d prefer this be the “Sami puts up a good fight but ultimately loses” Sami Zayn match instead of the “Sami gets instantly brutalized and loses like a chump” one. This is Joe’s main roster WWE pay-per-view debut, and he’s facing a guy who is defined by losing to new monsters. That said, even my love of Sami Zayn and the “what should happen” category doesn’t give him the win here. Joe and Zayn had very good but not necessarily great matches in NXT - even the ones that were specifically booked to be the “great” ones - so hopefully a change of scenery and expectation will allow them to tell a good story and put on a match that will blow away the main roster WWE Universe instead of getting stuck being the second or third best match on a TakeOver. What Should Happen: The match of the show, obviously. Like 90% of these WWE Cruiserweight matches, they are absolutely meaningless, forgettable, and all blend into each other. Justin Donaldson – It absolutely does not matter who wins this match at all. This has been your Dragon Gate USA Joke of the Day.

That’s what Kendrick brings to the table. Note: picking the heels to win a multi-person cruiserweight match is probably my dumbest pick of all time.īill Hanstock – It’s smart of Dar to team with something who is historically good at jackets. For the sake of pick-ems, Kendrick rolls up Tozawa to give him Lesson Number Four. I’d make a joke about how this should be happening in two minutes on Raw, but I’m about 75% sure no matter who wins, they’ll do the rematch ON Raw. I don’t see that happening, so instead we’ll get one of the most skippable Kickoff matches we’ve ever had. As good as this can be, it can’t be until the fundamentals behind the division change. What Will Happen: One (1) dive each and dropkicks and chinlocks until it’s time to hit their signature moves. Either that, or time and effort should be dedicated to giving Swann and Tozawa a true showcase of their skills, instead of just one (1) dive each and dropkicks and chinlocks until it’s time to hit their signature moves. should randomly show up, pick a side and turn this into a trios match featuring stuff that makes us pay attention and makes us want to see the cruiserweights wrestle.
