There\u2019s a good amount of buzz around this show, and not necessarily all for the right reasons. First, there have been ongoing discussions about ticket costs and the number of advertisements during events. I won\u2019t rehash all of that, but I agree with the majority of opinions that it is too much. There\u2019s also been speculation around John Cena\u2019s major announcement. It sounds like there may be a new offering that the company will provide to its fanbase. I won\u2019t speculate on what it could be, but it will be interesting to see if TKO has listened to its audience and will be offering something that will not be out of reach for most fans and families. The card itself is fine and should be a good indicator of where we will be headed as we enter the summer months. Let\u2019s run down the card!<\/p>\n<p><b>Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu for the World Heavyweight Championship.\u00a0<\/b>Eyebrows were raised when Reigns\u2019 name was suddenly taken off several advertised appearances in June. With reports of several talents being asked to take pay cuts, some in the wrestling universe began to wonder if there was some kind of contract dispute with Reigns and if this meant his days with the company were numbered. Since then, these rumors and speculations appear to have been addressed, and Reigns\u2019 spot in the company is likely secure. That said, I\u2019m expecting a successful title defense by Reigns, especially considering he just won the title. While this is fine, I am a bit concerned about what the future holds for Fatu as he\u2019s popular with the fanbase and can be elevated to main event player if booked right. Are they elevating him too soon to where he spins his wheels after taking a loss? I hope not, but time will tell. I\u2019m also not crazy about this reboot of the original Bloodline. I\u2019m good with the Usos being aligned with Reigns, but I don\u2019t think they should be heavily involved in all of Reigns\u2019 storylines. This one makes sense since it\u2019s \u201cfamily business,\u201d but I\u2019d like to see a bit more separation moving forward.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: Roman Reigns defeats Jacob Fatu to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Asuka vs. Iyo Sky.\u00a0<\/b>I am happy to see these two added to the show after they didn\u2019t make the WrestleMania card. I don\u2019t know where either goes from here, but the match should be entertaining, and if the speculation is true, we may get an appearance by Kairi Sane to close out the storyline they\u2019ve been advancing for months with Asuka.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: Iyo Sky defeats Asuka.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Danhausen and a partner vs. The Miz and Kit Wilson.\u00a0<\/b>I enjoy some good Danhausen comedy as long as it is in small doses. As long as they keep this short, this should be fun. As for the mystery partner, I\u2019ll buy into the rumors that it is likely Jelly Roll.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: Danhausen and a partner defeat The Miz and Kit Wilson.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>(ESPN2) Trick Williams vs. Sami Zayn for the U.S. Championship.\u00a0<\/b>WWE has to be careful. I think they have lightning in a bottle with Trick Williams as a main event player. The Gingerbread Man stuff has been cute and even funny at times. But when you take a gag too far, it loses its luster and can hurt the talent you\u2019re trying to build. I truly hope last night\u2019s funeral segment was the last of it. In terms of the Sami heel turn, the Gingerbread Man has been the catalyst to drive him crazy and alienate him from the fans. That\u2019s been fine, but as I said, let\u2019s get to where we are going and move on. In terms of the outcome, there\u2019s no reason to take the title off of Trick at this point.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: Trick Williams defeats Sami Zayn to retain the U.S. Championship.<\/i><\/p><div id=\"prowr-952909418\" 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><b>(ESPN2) Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker.\u00a0<\/b>I am looking forward to this one.

I think this is just the beginning of a multi-month program, and I am interested to see where we go from here.<\/p>\n<p><i>Don Predicts: Bron Breakker defeats Seth Rollins.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The final hour of the countdown show and the first hour of the main card will simulcast on ESPN2.
