My predictions for Clash of Champions 2016

Alicia Fox vs. Nia Jax

After Nia Jax put a friend of Alicia Fox's into the hospital and put Alicia herself through a barricade, we got to see what Nia Jax can really do...and she just might crank it up on pay-per-view

My prediction: Nia Jax is going to become the female Brock Lesnar, except without all that blood and concussions stuff. Hopefully.

Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens (c)

for the WWE Universal Championship

Seth Rollins feels cheated out of the WWE Universal Championship, thanks to Triple H, the man who made him famous. Kevin Owens chalks Rollins' grievance up to jealousy, and wants to keep the Universal Championship by any means necessary, and it's all going to boil over at Clash of Champions...

My prediction: Kevin Owens will retain.

Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson)
vs.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) (c)

for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships

After holding the tag team titles for over a year, The New Day may have finally met their match. They narrowly escaped Gallows and Anderson after Big E - the man Gallows and Anderson took out of the equation before SummerSlam - is back and ready to help defend the tag team titles. But will the presence of Big E back in the fold help The New Day retain the tag titles of the red brand, or will these copper-plated championships find a new home?

My prediction: Gallows and Anderson will take the titles this time. Seriously.

Sasha Banks vs. Bayley vs. Charlotte (c)

for the WWE Raw Women's Championship

Sasha Banks may have put her back out at SummerSlam, but you can't keep a good wrestler down as Sasha is already back in action and making it bad news for Charlotte. Now she's out to take the Raw Women's title back from the woman who calls herself the queen of Raw's Women's Division...but wait? What's this? Sasha Banks and Bayley had their shoulders down during the finish? And now Foley's made this a triple threat match? Well, now...

My prediction: Sasha Banks is taking the title back.

Sami Zayn vs. Chris Jericho

One is friends with Kevin Owens. The other used to be friends with Owens until it came to a nasty end. Now these two are going at it...

My prediction: Sami Zayn will win this one somehow.

Roman Reigns vs. Rusev (c)

for the WWE United States Championship

C'mon. You knew this going to happen after Rusev came back.

My prediction: Roman. He can. He will. And because Rusev has held the title for too long and his reign has been unmemorable beyond making fun of Titus O'Neil's kids and declaring that the 4th of July be Rusev Day.

Cesaro vs. Sheamus

in Match #7 of the Best of Seven Series

It's all tied up after a late rally for Cesaro. This one is for all the marbles and the winner gets a championship opportunity. Get ready.

My prediction: Cesaro's winning this one.

The Brian Kendrick vs. TJ Perkins (c)

for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

TJ Perkins may have won The Cruiserweight Classic, but The Brian Kendrick has won the first Cruiserweight Division match on Raw to earn a shot at it and Perkins now has first real test as champion. There's nowhere to go but up for this division.

My prediction: Perkins will retain.
