Damian Priest will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre. The Judgment Day has also been banned from ringside after McIntyre was able to defeat Finn Bálor on Raw. Drew will also have the Scottish fans presumably on his side. I see this match really only going one way. Drew McIntyre will have Damian Priest lined up for The Claymore Kick and the victory, only to have CM Punk intervene in another opportunity for Drew McIntyre, furthering their rivalry.

The WWE Women’s Championship will be on the line when Piper Niven challenges Bayley in a singles match. After an exciting storyline with Damage Control and successfully winning the title, Bayley’s reign has felt rather stale. Piper Niven has been booked to look strong as of late. That said, Bayley is the much bigger draw, and I see no way that WWE is ready to take the strap from her yet. Give me Bayley in an average match.

Sami Zayn will defend the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Chad Gable (accompanied by Alpha Academy). For me, this boils down to what WWE plans to do with Otis. For weeks now, they have been flirting with a full heel turn for Otis, to match Chad Gable’s heel turn. Sami Zayn has been the babyface, trying to convince Alpha Academy that they do not need to put up with Chad Gable’s new heel antics. Will Otis go full heel? I say…partially. I believe they teased a similarity to Sami Zayn’s storyline with the Bloodline. Otis is going to turn heel long enough to get a shot at the title and, in a different way, infiltrate Alpha Academy from the inside while looking like a heel, only to pull the face turn for a title shot. I predict Chad Gable (with the help of Otis) in the match of the night.
What an amazing night for @WWEGable!#RAWTalk

The Undisputed WWE Championship will be on the line in an “I Quit” match. Cody Rhodes will have the hefty task of facing AJ Styles. AJ may be the most talented wrestler on the card. I think both men are going to be a bloody mess, and they are really going to put on a show. The one thing I don’t see the WWE’s top babyface doing is saying “I Quit.” I’m not sure how he will do it, but I feel confident in choosing Cody Rhodes.
"I'm going to make you say what you should've said last week and that is 'I QUIT!'"@CodyRhodes just raised the stakes and @RealNickAldis approved! 🫨

The final match is a triple threat tag team match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill will defend against Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn and Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark. All three teams have looked good in the past, and this truly feels like an elevation of the women’s tag team division. While this match has the potential to be one of the better women’s tag matches, there is no way WWE is going to have Jade Cargill take a loss yet. They are building her up as high as they can—Jade and Bianca to retain.
