Like night one, the matches present a mixed bag in terms of build, but all in all, several have my attention, and it should give us a lot to talk about coming out of the show. Let\u2019s run down the card!<\/p>\n<p><b>John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes in a Street Fight for the WWE Championship.\u00a0<\/b>Where to begin on this one? I\u2019d like to say that they couldn\u2019t do worse than their WrestleMania match, and a Street Fight allows them the ability to rely on a walking brawl and not a straight-up wrestling match. This benefits Cena as his better days are behind him. That said, I haven\u2019t been a fan of the build. Rhodes knocking out Cena and forging his signature on the contract was dumb. And while Cena\u2019s promo on Smackdown creates a bit of intrigue, WWE needs to be careful how they play this. It could be a swerve by Cena, and if that\u2019s the case, I\u2019m not in favor of it for two reasons.<\/p>\n<p>First, they teased this at Night of Champions when he seemingly aligned with CM Punk only to turn on him seconds later. Second, if not now, WWE will want to turn Cena babyface again. Faking the fans out multiple times runs the risk of them not buying in when they actually want it to happen. Another scenario involves Cody turning heel. I think that\u2019s inevitable and fine down the road. I\u2019m just not sure if now is the right time. We could also see The Rock play a role one way or the other, but reports indicate that he\u2019s not planning to be there. All this aside, at the end of the day, I think Cena finds a way to win and I\u2019m interested to see the path forward from here.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: John Cena retains the WWE Championship.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Naomi vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Iyo Sky in a Triple Threat for the Women\u2019s World Championship.\u00a0<\/b>I\u2019m not usually a fan of Triple Threat matches for titles, but if Ripley\u2019s match with Sky at Evolution is any indication, this one should be great, even with the addition of Naomi, who has been doing some of the best work of her career. I also like the story they\u2019re telling with Ripley in that she\u2019s never defeated Sky and has made that a personal goal. The only downside to this match is that they just put the title on her, so in my mind, there should be no reason to make a change this quickly, which makes the outcome predictable. They could always surprise, but I\u2019m also not a fan of playing \u201chot potato} with the title.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: Naomi retains the Women\u2019s World Championship.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Dominik Mysterio vs. AJ Styles for the Intercontinental Championship.\u00a0<\/b>These two were fun during the build. It\u2019ll be a fine match with a predictable outcome, but I applaud both for the chuckles they gave me during the leadup. I think we\u2019ll see Roxanne Perez play a role here to further her alliance with Mysterio and the Judgment Day in Liv Morgan\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: Dominik Mysterio retains the Intercontinental Championship.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Becky Lynch vs. Lyra Valkyria in a no DQ, no count-out match for the Women\u2019s Intercontinental Championship (Valkyria can\u2019t challenge for the title again while Lynch is champion if she loses).\u00a0<\/b>Lynch and Valkyria had a good rivalry over the past several months, and Valkyria\u2019s stock has risen as a result. Despite this, I\u2019m ready to see them move on to other things. I\u2019m expecting Bayley to cost Valkyria, which will further their feud. No one jumps off the page as the next logical challenger for Lynch, but the roster is deep enough that it should not be a problem<\/p><div id=\"prowr-1882499825\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: Becky Lynch retains the Women\u2019s Intercontinental Championship.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Solo Sikoa vs. Jacob Fatu in a cage match for the U.S. Championship.\u00a0<\/b>In theory, steel cages are meant to keep people out. But this is wrestling, and we all know the score. This will be a continuation of what we\u2019ve seen on Smackdown \u2013 brawls between the MFTs, Sikoa, Fatu, and Jimmy Uso. Sikoa is also a new champion, so I\u2019m not anticipating a title switch. I am wondering if we get the return on Tama Tonga here, and if so, what side he lands on. As an aside, they have a star in the making with Fatu, so I\u2019m hoping he\u2019s close to moving on from this program. And while Sikoa isn\u2019t the top heel WWE hoped he would be, his promos have gotten better over the past few months, so I\u2019d like to see him move on as well.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: Solo Sikoa retains the U.S. Championship.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy vs. \u201cMotor City Machine Guns\u201d Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin vs. \u201cThe Street Profits\u201d Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins vs. \u201cDIY\u201d Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa vs. Andrade and Rey Fenix vs. \u201cFraxiom\u201d Axiom and Nathan Frazer in a TLC match for the WWE Tag Team Titles.\u00a0<\/b>The Smackdown tag team division is a lazy booking mess. Look at the teams in this match. Not finding a way to create a meaningful, relevant division is extremely puzzling. Put them all in a ring with tables, ladders, and chairs, and I\u2019m sure it will be a spectacle.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy retain the WWE Tag Team Titles.<\/i><\/p>\n<div
