8/1/2023 0 Comments Fastlane start timeThe only thing more surprising than Shane McMahon and The Miz winning the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships was their partnership staying together after their loss to The Usos at Elimination Chamber. WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship: The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) (c) vs Shane McMahon and The Miz ![]() PREDICTION: The Boss 'N' Hug Connection (Bayley and Sasha Banks) So Bayley and Sasha to retain, and hold on to the belts going into WrestleMania 35, though we're hoping that they make good on that promise to defend the titles anywhere and everywhere before then. That's not to say the matchup doesn't have potential, only that we've seen variations on the Nia/Bayley theme for what feels like years and years.īayley usually has the edge, and with The Boss by her side we can't see The Boss 'N' Hug Connection losing this, despite the size and power between the teams. So it's something of a shame that the first challengers are the most obvious, in Nia Jax and Tamina. PREDICTION: Asuka WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: The Boss 'N' Hug Connection (Bayley and Sasha Banks) (c) vs Nia Jax and TaminaĪfter all those rumours and teasing we eventually got the return of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship titles, and at Elimination Chamber 2019 we even got the champs the WWE Universe was crying out for.īayley and Sasha Banks are firmly united and they'll be defending their titles from ALLCOMERS, be they Raw, SmackDown Live, NXT, or NXTUK. With Sonya Deville likely to be by Mandy's side and Asuka at risk of over-complacency, this one will be a lot tighter than many may think.Īll that said, we think that the Empress of Tomorrow will have just about enough in the tank to see off this challenge, but she needs to be very, very careful. ![]() Well, she's got some attention now, in the form of ex-Absolution (and ex- Tough Enough) star Mandy Rose, who clawed her way into contention with a big win over the champ.Īnd, despite Asuka having the edge when it comes to strength and experience, this isn't going to be a cakewalk. The WWE SmackDown Women's Championship has rather unfairly gone from the hottest battle in the WWE to playing second fiddle on its own show.Īs Becky Lynch (and then, per Vince) Charlotte Flair target Raw's Ronda Rousey, Asuka is left holding the fort on the Blue Brand without getting much attention for it. PREDICTION: Daniel Bryan WWE SmackDown Women's Championship: Asuka (c) vs Mandy Rose So, we'll go for D-Bry, but this isn't the last you'll be hearing of #KofiMania. While KO is looking fighting fit (as ever) on his comeback, we figure he'll have just too much ring rustiness to overcome Daniel Bryan (and his lackey Rowan, who never leaves his side). That's The New Daniel Bryan vs The Returning Kevin Owens. And while we can't see this being the end of the road for KofiMania (what price a title match at Mania itself?), we have to deal with what's in front of us. ![]() ![]() To say we're disappointed is an understatement. Kofi's defeat in the Chamber was bookended by him pinning Daniel Bryan on SmackDown twice, and he absolutely earned the title shot he originally had.īut then Vince McMahon got involved and on Kevin Owens's returned hot-shotted KO right into the title picture at the expense of The New Day veteran. From nowhere in the week before Elimination Chamber, #KofiMania was running WILD. Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston was the feud we never knew we wanted, but then we absolutely needed.
