Colt Montoya (c) vs Cynthia Rose - European Championship
Thoughts: Let's goooooo
Emmanuelle (c) vs Christopher Sabertooth/Havoc - Shogun Championship
Thoughts: From a storytelling perspective, this feels like it's set up for Sabe to win, but Emmy's been a killer. I don't foresee her momentum coming to a halt on the grand stage, but this is definitely a close one.
Allesandro Devastation (c) vs Stephanie Matsuda - AD Championship
Thoughts: Listen...we all want the belt off of Allesandro. He's the most obnoxious reigning AD champion in the title's history, and that's saying a lot considering the belt's Architect. The belt's synonymous with Cloud, and this is another one of those matches I could see going either way for that reason alone, but if I'm putting down money I've got to go Devastation.
Sweet Melody (c) vs Mac n Murphy Connection - Campeonatos de Parejas
Thoughts: I don't know if there's a Parejas division without Teddy Mac gunning for the belts. M n' M have exceeded expectations as a tandem, but Sweet Melody are just so driven to deliver and keep those belts.
Zane (c) vs Indy Darling - Territorial Championship
Thoughts: If not Indy, then I don't know who else will be able to overthrow Zane's reign. They're both truly the diamonds in the rough of DOMINION. I'm not sure if anyone matches up to them on the brand.
That's not an insult, they're just both so damn good. Whoever loses is definitely going over to the other roster next Chapter, that's my other prediction on this match. You just can't deny how good they both are.
Hank Hech & Don Jordan (c) vs Jon Nash Strader & Daniel Horror vs Amber Payne & Jake Raab - Hybrid Tag Team Championship
Thoughts: The Hybrid Tag Team 'division' is very volatile by design, and looking at the title's short history you'll see the tenuous tandems and terse title runs. With that being said I'm not sure if we've seen a tandem as cohesive as "The Coach" and "So Fly". JNS and Horror stand to be dark horses with how good JNS is and how much Daniel's improved, and Amber and Jake could pull the upset, no question, but Hank and Don are two formidable and new champions that took out the strongest pairing that those titles had to date in the Hip Hunters. It'll be an interesting match to watch, and there's someone on each team that I'm rooting for, but I see a retention in the makings.
Arata Asakura vs Animus - Castle of Glass
Thoughts: Arata wins. Animus is a hard foe to overcome, but I believe in Asakura. Plus I just want to see Raoul lose.
Babayka vs Nobi - Torture Match
Thoughts: Nobi's middle name is 'overcome the odds' and I honestly can't/don't want to see a full blown turn to the dark side for the White Knight of Wrestleworld.
RD3 vs Jaydayne Pendragon - Shogun Rules
Thoughts: No fucking clue. RD3 is just such a madman that it's hard to predict how self-destructive he might be in the name of doling out punishment. Don't get me wrong, Jaydayne's no wimp, but a primed RD3 is quite a beautiful train wreck to watch. Coin flip says RD3
Rosanna Vendetta vs Graham Baker vs Stark vs Devon Slayton vs Jay Jones - Four Tribulations Match
Thoughts: Fucking hell, another impossible one to call. Rosanna's been a treat to read, I've faced Graham in the past and he's no slouch, Stark is Stark, I'm not too familiar with Devon Slayton, and Jay Jones is basically the future Ace of every company he's currently in. Just based on everyone's workload this weekend potentially building promo fatigue, I'm going to narrow it down to Baker or Stark. I'll say Stark.
Jaywalker vs Claudia Michaels - Loser Resigns
Thoughts: I think Claudia could win and I'd love to see this dystopian island become all the more Orwellian, but factors that I wont delve into lead me to believe that Jay will win.
Clyde Livingston & Jacob Striker vs Banch Morgan & Matthew Knox - Winner controls Dominion
Thoughts: This is another one of those things where I just don't see Clyde going away.
Layne Driver vs Scott Oasis
Thoughts: Layne's just talked way too much shit to not get his shit pushed in.
Crazy Violet vs Lillie Saint
Thoughts: I feel like next chapter will be an interesting one for Lillie Saint after all of the betrayal and backstabbing she's suffered this go 'round.
TJ Thompson vs Pinchy - Falls Count Anywhere Match
Thoughts: The Crab Revolution Will be Televised
Parabellum Match Winner: Ares Vendetta.
