Wrestling Predictions for 2017

[Jack Raines]

It's that time of the year again. Feel free to post any 2017 pro wrestling or MMA predictions here.

Last year's thread:
lawradio.proboards.com/thread/6135/predictions-2016


My predictions:


Roman Reigns will turn heel and help Triple H pin Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania.


Charlotte will drop the Women's title to Bayley at Wrestlemania.

Undertaker will pin Braun Strowman at Wrestlemania.

WWE will sever all ties with Mick Foley.

WWE will release Paige, Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas, Titus O'Neil, Dan Matha, and Curt Hawkins. Also getting cut will be Tough Enough winner Bronson Matthews (Josh Bredl).

Mark Henry and Big Show will retire.

2K will sign Kurt Angle to be in WWE 2K18, which will lead to Kurt's return to WWE around Survivor Series.

Hulk Hogan will come back for a segment with Rusev at Wrestlemania.

Samoa Joe will debut on the main roster at the Royal Rumble. Then join the Smackdown roster where he'll feud with John Cena leading into Wrestlemania.

Asuka will debut on the Raw after Wrestlemania. Feuding with Nia Jax.

Nakamura will debut on the Raw after Wrestlemania. Eventually feuding with Roman Reigns for the Universal title heading into Summerslam.

The Revival will debut on the Smackdown after 'Mania. They will lose a feud with American Alpha, then disappear from TV much like the Vaudevillains. Due to Vince and/or Kevin Dunn not "getting" their appeal, and some possible Twitter drama.

Tye Dillinger will debut on Smackdown around summer of 2017, but won't be used much on the main roster. Ending up a lot like Tyler Breeze.

Smackdown will beat Raw in the ratings again. More than once

Samoa Joe will not debut till after Wrestlemania on the main roster.

A.J Styles will retain his title at the Royal Rumble.

Apparently my predictions for last year were:

1) TNA will shut up shop (at least for a while)
2) Kevin Owens will win the WWE World Title
3) John Cena will tie Ric Flair's World Title record
4) CM Punk will make an appearance for ROH

Not bad, except for #4, which wasn't even close to happening. So, for 2017 here goes another bold attempt:

1) Big E will be a singles main eventer
2) Nick Aldis will join the WWE
3) Bobby Roode will get called up and win a World Title
4) GSP will fight again in the UFC

For one thing, I could see some of the things Foley said recently about his insurance and overall health situation rubbing Vince McMahon the wrong way.

And it could lead Vince to decide he'll just stop using Mick. Maybe Vince would think it's even better for Mick's well-being if they don't use him anymore.

Perhaps "sever all ties" is a bit strong, but I'll keep that as my prediction as it was the phrase that immediately came to my mind.

I personally think they will finally pull the trigger on the teased Shield reunion and have Seth & Roman win the tag titles sometime next year, maybe after Mania. Also think we'll get Owens/Jericho at Mania now it's not happening at the Rumble.

We will complain about everything and continue watching.
