That said, I suppose that\u2019s why it\u2019s on the pre-show.<\/p>\n<p>Who\u2019s the face team here? Aren\u2019t they all heels?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Gallows and Anderson win because by the look of things they at least have a storyline going forwards. Meanwhile, The Miztourage have had an awkward year but at least they\u2019ve been on TV.<\/p>\n<p>Winner: <b>Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson<\/b><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>2.

Cena is ready to go out early so that he can come out the next night on Raw, threaten to retire and thus begin his proposed Undertaker storyline.<\/p>\n<p>There really is no one else in this match who will get a good match out of Lesnar. There\u2019s no one else in this match with the prominence and name value to main event Wrestlemania, it has to be Roman Reigns.<\/p>\n<p>Winner: <b>Roman Reigns<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Ladies and lads, I have a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Wrestlemania?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Wrestlemania<\/a> based announcement.<br \/>\nStarting the night after <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WWEChamber?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WWEChamber<\/a> I will be hosting a Wrestlemania predictions contest for any and all entrants. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WWE?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WWE<\/a><br \/>\nThe winner will be decided by most right winners and most right finishes.<br \/>\nThread below for more:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Colohue (@Colohue) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Colohue\/status\/967140567091175425?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ladies and lads, I have a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Wrestlemania?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Wrestlemania<\/a> based announcement.<br \/>Starting the night after <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WWEChamber?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WWEChamber<\/a> I will be hosting a Wrestlemania predictions contest for any and all entrants. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WWE?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WWE<\/a><br \/>The winner will be decided by most right winners and most right finishes. <br \/>Thread below for more:<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Tom Colohue (@Colohue) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Colohue\/status\/967140567091175425?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>3.

That suggests that she\u2019s getting into a mania match one way or another. What better way to do that than to have her pick up the win here by disqualification (possibly by Asuka refusing to relinquish a submission hold) and then having Asuka walk over to the blue brand.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll say it. I think Nia Jax will claim victory over Asuka.<\/p>\n<p>Winner: <b>Nia Jax via DQ<\/b><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>4. Bray Wyatt vs. Matt Hardy <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I was never a fan of the idea that Matt Hardy would go broken in WWE. If anyone is interested to know why, see Matt Hardy being broken in WWE. It\u2019s just a big pointless. This feud has been going for almost four months already and in that time nothing has really happened.<\/p>\n<p>A compound match at Wrestlemania seems to be where they\u2019re headed, which is pre-show material if I\u2019ve ever heard it. Really either result would be a good one if that\u2019s the end result they want but I\u2019ve got Bray Wyatt down to win here on the basis that WWE, recently, have been casually building up Wyatt\u2019s win record in minor, seemingly unimportant ways.<\/p>\n<p>Winner: <b>Bray Wyatt<\/b><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>5. Sheamus &amp; Cesaro vs. Titus O\u2018Neill &amp; Apollo Crews (Raw Tag Team Championships)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>After a lot of hard work, it\u2019s great to see Titus Worldwide feature prominent on a pay-per-view.<\/p>\n<p>Winner: <b>The Bar<\/b><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>6. Women\u2018s Elimination Chamber &#8211; Alexa Bliss vs. Sasha Banks vs. Sonya Deville vs. Mickie James vs. Bayley vs. Mandy Rose (Raw Women\u2018s Championship)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Realistically there are only two contenders here. Either Bliss retains or Banks wins, in which case Banks will probably lose it again the next night on Raw. Bliss has been the champion for all but one day since April so it would be cruel in the extreme to take it from her now.<\/p>\n<p>The teams are set in three duos. Bayley vs. Banks seems likely to come out of this, though I suspect Bayley would be the ideal choice to swap with Naomi in the next shakeup so they\u2019ll have to hurry up. That actually leaves only one contender.<\/p>\n<p>As previously discussed, Nia Jax is en route to Wrestlemania no matter what happens. She has no story with Banks but she does have one with Bliss. The injury to Paige may have changed things but for me it seems like we\u2019re going to see Jax take the belt from Bliss only to lose it to Rousey in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>Winner: <b>Alexa Bliss<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll see you for another live Twitter session during Elimination Chamber 2018.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CHECK OUT THE PREVIOUS COLUMN:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/01\/28\/wwe-royal-rumble-predictions-tom-gets-wrong-lesnar-vs-strowman-vs-kane-styles-vs-sami-ko-womens-mens-royal-rumble\/\">WWE ROYAL RUMBLE PREDICTIONS \u2013 Tom Gets it Wrong: Lesnar vs. Strowman vs. Kane, Styles vs. Sami &amp; KO, Women\u2019s and Men\u2019s Royal Rumble<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2129060540\"><div id=\"pwtor-1495190728\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Follow Tom Colohue on Facebook and @Colohue for updates.
