Will Randy Get The Best Of Cody | Sunday Night Main Event Predictions
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
Ross returns to provide his preview and predictions for Sunday Night Main Event, expressing that he is primarily excited only about two matches: Cody Rhodes versus Randy Orton and Oba Femi versus Braun Breaker. He admits to having little investment in the other bouts on the card, viewing the event as essentially a glorified house show with two potentially worthy main events spread out over Peacock's runtime. While he acknowledges that Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and Tatum Paxley are trapped in a feud involving Jade Cargill and the Vortex, Ross predicts they will secure the victory despite his lack of personal interest in the storyline direction for Jade or the women's division.
In his analysis of the men's matches, Ross focuses heavily on the implications of Baron Corbin versus Little Yachty, noting that if Little Yachty can survive a five-minute time limit challenge, Trick Williams will receive an immediate United States Championship match. Ross predicts that Little Yachty will succeed in this challenge, leading to Baron Corbin losing the title back to Trick Williams, arguing that the current champion does not generate enough heat and that the championship strap should eventually return to its original owner. He then shifts his attention to the highly anticipated clash between Oba Femi and Braun Breaker, which he believes deserves a much larger stage than this PLE.
Ross argues that for the Oba Femi versus Braun Breaker match to work as a compelling story, Oba must lose due to outside interference rather than being cleanly defeated, as a clean win would diminish Braun Breaker's standing as a future star. He suggests that the perfect way to extend this feud and build tension is through the return of Bronson Reed, who could assist Braun Breaker in creating a two-on-one situation against Oba. This narrative choice would allow WWE to showcase Oba Femi overcoming impossible odds while setting up further storylines leading toward Survivor Series.
Finally, Ross outlines his prediction for the main event between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, asserting that Randy must win to properly advance their personal feud and break Cody mentally before a potential title match. He envisions Randy exploiting psychological tactics, such as taunting Cody's family or distracting him emotionally, rather than resorting to physical violence against loved ones, which he believes would be out of character for WWE on Peacock. By having Cody lose in this manner, the storyline can evolve into a long-term saga where Randy eventually faces CM Punk for his fifteenth title reign, only to have Cody exact revenge and set up a final stipulation match to conclude their intense rivalry.

What's good y'all? It's your boy Ross
back at again with another video. So,
I'm here to give my preview and
predictions for Sunday night's main
event tomorrow. Now, I'm be honest with
you, there's really only two matches
that I am actually excited for, and that
is Cody Rhodess versus Randy Orton and
Oba Fammy versus Braun Breaker. Those
matches alone are something that I am
really excited to see. And the other two
matches, I'm going be honest as well.
I'm I'm not really that invested in. I'm
just be honest with you. I'm not that
invested. The two matches that I just
listed, Cody versus Randy and Oba versus
Braun, those are selling the show in my
opinion. And I think apparently uh is it
Quo supposed to be doing a performance
at the beginning of the show? I know
they're going to be in Atlanta. You
know, they love to hit us black folks up
when they come to Atlanta.
I don't really even too much care about
that. And I, you know, I like Quo's
music. I I don't even really care too
much about that. I'm just here to see
how things are going to play out between
Cody and Randy and Oba and Femi. I mean,
I said Oba and Feimi. Oba and Braun
Breaker. But nevertheless, let's get
into my preview predictions. There's
only four matches on this show. So, I
will say I do think they're going to
give them time since this is going to be
on Peacock. They allow the show these
matches to breathe. So, we don't have to
worry too much about commercial breaks.
They will give these these guys and
girls the time to actually cook up a
good match. Um, this is basically a
glorified house show except some of
those matches, two of the matches
themselves, you could have put them on a
bigger PL like Money in the Bank or
Survivor Series if you wanted to, but
those are obviously spread out far from
now. So, this is why they gave us this
PLE, but I wouldn't even call it a PLE.
It's literally a house show with two PL
potentially worthy matches. All right,
let's get into it. I'm going to start
with the matches I'm not really that
invested in. Uh, we're going to start
with Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and
Tatum Paxley versus Jay Cargill. And the
baddies featuring Me Chin and B Fab. Do
I care? No. Um, I'm kind of over the
Charlotte Flair, Jay, Cargill, Vortex,
and then everyone else follows along. I
I'm just not that invested. I'm not. Um,
to be honest with you, I I think if I
had to choose
Charlotte, Alexa, and Tatum get the W.
Could Jade and the baddies benefit?
Possibly. But what are they doing with
Jade and the Baddies other than having
them feud with Charlotte,
Alexa, and Tatum? Tatum just got added
to the main roster. So, she's now
unfortunately been trapped within this
vortex. She's now a part of the vortex,
the Jay Carill, Charlotte Flair vortex
that I'm just I don't care for
being dead ass. Could this match be
good? Possibly. It could be pretty good.
They're probably going to give them some
time, but I'm just I'm not invested. I
don't care. Honestly, I'm I'm ready for
them to move on. I don't even know what
you do with Jade. I really don't know
what you do with her. I don't know what
direction you take her in the baddies.
Maybe the women's United States
Championship route, but then you would
have to feud them up with the other
heels and uh with Fatal Influence. you
have to feud them with them like both
heel factions teams going at each other.
I don't think that's going to work. So,
I don't know. And I don't see her going
for the the the WWE Championship right
now. So, I I don't know what you do with
her. But this match, they could have put
something else on here in my opinion.
They could have definitely swapped out
something else, you know? Hell, if they
would have really built some time, like
built up some some more animosity, they
could have did uh Julia versus uh Blake
Monroe. They just now starting to cook
that up, but they would have actually
put some more time into that. They could
have put that on there. This is This is
just a Smackdown match. Honestly, you
could put this on Smackdown, called it a
day, it would probably get the same
effect. But if I had to choose, I'm
going Charlotte, Flair, Alexa, and Tatum
to get the win here. That's about it.
And we we go on to something else. Next,
we got Baron Corbin versus Little
Yachty. Here's the thing. If Little
Yachty can last the five minute five
minute time limit, uh Trick Williams
gets a United States title match the
same night. So, that's very interesting.
So, if he can last, then Trick Williams
gets that match. Now,
I think honestly
I think Lil Yachty lasts the five
minutes. I do. I think Lil Yachty lasts
the five minutes and I think we go ahead
and get that match because I didn't even
know it was going to be the same night.
I legitimately didn't know if Baron
Corbin loses, Trick gets that
opportunity that same night. I didn't
know that. I thought it was going to be
at a later time, but that would be a
five minute damn near match. So,
for me, if you're going to put this on
the show, Lil Yachty getting the win,
obviously, I'm sure Trick will get
involved in that or at least outlasting
Baron Corbin for five minutes. I think
that'll be fine. And then they'll set up
a match with Trick versus Baron. And
from there,
if you're going to do it, I I you I'd
have Baron Corbin drop the title cuz I
to to be frank with you, I don't even
know why they put the title on him so
soon. Like, it's not really doing it's
not moving anything for Smackdown to be
brutally honest. is not I'm I'm not
seeing people just really react to him
in such a way where it's like, "Oh,
we're glad Baron Corbin is the United
States Champion." It's not moving any
needles. So, if anything th this would
be a good moment for Lil Yachty in
Atlanta and then Trick ultimately gets
his title back cuz it's still kind of
baffles me that Baron Corbin has the
title with the first strap.
Which leads me to believe that
if he still has the title with the first
strap,
then Trick at some point is getting that
title back. Cuz I would have thought if
he would have removed the first strap,
that would have kind of been the
indication, okay, Trick's not getting
the title back. because this is a title
that's essentially customized
for Trick because I don't think the
first strap is gonna stay on the United
States Championship, nor should it. So
that's why I was like, he got to be
getting his title back, right? So I'm
going with Lil Yachty lasting five
minutes and then Baron Corbin facing
Trick Williams that night and Baron
Corbin losing the United States
Championship. Put it back on Trick
Williams and we go from there. So,
that's where I'm going with it. Am I
really that invested in this match? No,
I'm not. I really don't care too much.
As long as the results of Trick
potentially getting the title back, I'm
cool with it. It It's It's not something
that I'm just like, uh, it's going to be
a mustsea, but we'll see how it plays
out. I'm just not that overly excited
about it. But I'm going with Lil Yachty
to last the five minutes and then Trick
Williams getting the title back and
being Baron Corbin if it does supposedly
happen the same night. Now the matches
that I really really really really
really care about. Oba Femi versus Braun
Breaker.
What? Well, I mean I don't really have
to say too much. This match deserves to
be on a a bigger show for sure. I love
how they built this up. I I like the
idea of these guys trying to figure out
who's really the future of WWE since Oba
took Braun Breaker's spot. Oba
legitimately took his spot. Now he's the
most one of the most o over individuals
upand cominging stars in WWE right now.
He gets crazy reactions wherever he goes
just like Braun Breaker was getting at
one point. And I mean, he did retire
Brock Lesnar and beat him twice in one
year. So, I'm I'm I'm really hyped about
this.
Braun Breaker trying to prove why he
deserves to be in that conversation.
Paul Heymon being in the middle of this.
I know some people are not going to like
this.
I don't think Oba's winning. Now, I know
some of you like, why do you think that
he just beat Brock Lesnar? He took a a a
tombstone on the wood. What are you
talking about? At SummerSlam and kicked
out. What are you talking about? He took
It takes seven F5s and one through a
table to put Oba away. What are you
talking about? What? How do you expect
Oba to lose here against Braun Breaker?
Well, simple. I think there's going to
be some shenanigans. I don't think this
is going to be a clear match and you
need to extend this because if this is a
one and done situation, Braun Breaker
literally is not the guy, the next guy
up. He would be a good number two behind
Oba because that's what we would see as
fans. If Oba just beats this guy clean,
wipes his hands with him and go on by
this day. Yeah, Braun is cooked. So to
extend this and to really
put Oba in a situation where the odds
are stacked against him cuz you're
building this guy up as someone that no
matter how crazy the odds are, he
overcomes it because he's just an
unstoppable force. The only way this
really works, there's got to be some
shenanigans. And I think this the
perfect shenanigans
would be a returning Bronson Reed.
Bronson been sending shots at Oba on on
X and Bronson looks like he's in great
shape. And if there's anybody that I can
believe that would one assist Bron
Breaker and two make it a very tough
task for Oba by himself to overcome
Braun and Bronson Reed would be uh well
it would be Bronson Reed essentially
like if there's anybody that can to make
it like okay I can buy into Obelusion
here not because he got beat up lean is
because there was it was too much going
on. You got a returning Bronson Reed,
Braraw Breaker. Those two guys alone are
packing up a lot of the roster and he's
he's trying to overcome that. He wasn't
able to. He probably gets blindsided.
Didn't realize it. I think that's the
way you go about it. And now you can
extend this program because now there's
going to be multiple matches, probably
some stipulations at some point. And you
know, Oba is going to want to get his
hands on Bronson Reed, which I think
that would be nice because you got to
give Oba some really hard-hitting
opponents where we can be like, you know
what,
I think this would be a good back and
forth. So, I'm going I don't want to,
but I'm going with Braun Breaker to get
the win over over
because
of an returning Bronson Reed. because
anybody else it's like Austin Theory
that's light work. No, it's not gonna be
Logan because he's still hurt. So, I'mma
just go with that. I think that would be
a perfect way to get Bronson back into
the mix. And now you can extend the feud
even longer from uh Money in the Bank
damn near all the way to Survivor Series
if you wanted to. So, that's where I'm
going with. I love Oba, but the only way
to make this really few work and extend
it, Oba would have to lose because of
Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed. So, it'd
be like a twoon-one situation. And last
but not least, Cody Rhodess versus Randy
Orton. This is what we should have got
at Wrestlemania this year. This has been
some of the best stuff they've done on
Smackdown. And I love when Cody is not
just solely focused on the WWE
Championship. It is a feud outside of it
and it's personal. I love it. This is
what I want to see more of. Have them
have these type of feuds outside of the
WWE Championship being the central
factor. This was just them the way
they've been building this up. The
stipulation they can't touch each other
until Sunday night's main event. If they
do, they will never get a WWE
opportunity uh WWE Championship
opportunity again. the idea that Randy
is rage baiting, trying to rage bait
Cody to lose and telling Cody, you're
just a perpetual good guy. You will
never cross that line and tempting Cody.
I love how they've been building this
up. This has been fantastic. I don't
even think it's done after this. And the
only way you can extend this, Randy has
to win.
Randy has to win this match. He has to
win this match. He does. He lost at
WrestleMania. He has to win this match
in Cody's hometown in front of his
family and friends. He has to win to
really truly set this idea that this may
be something that ultimately changes
Cody and breaks him where he snaps and
he's willing to go to those dark places
just to get rid of Randy. I'm here for
it. have Cody lose here because if you
have him win, the only way that works,
you would have to have Cody just go off
the deep end and just destroy Randy
Orton. But Randy just came back, so it
wouldn't make sense to kind of write him
off TV. That's why I say Cody loses
here. Now, how he loses, it could be a
multitude of things. Maybe Randy does
cheat and takes advantage of the
situation. Or maybe it's a I can see a
situation where Randy is
basically causing Cody to lose himself
to the point where he loses focus. He
maybe says something to Ry's uh mom or
his wife that may be a ringside or maybe
his kids. I don't know. Maybe he says
something and it causes Cody to get
distracted. he loses it and ultimately
ends up losing the match. It can be
something like that, too. I They can do
something. I don't think they're going
to actually put hands on Cody's wife or
his mom. I know some of y'all want that.
No, Randy is not doing that. And this is
on Peacock, guys. We got to remember
where this is at. And WWE's not getting
that role. Maybe if it was AEW, they
would go that far. WWE's not doing that.
But they can do something where Randy is
walking up to his wife or walking up to
his mom kind of like The Rock did and
basically taunting his wife or his mom
and disrespecting them. It can be
something to that extent where it makes
Cody [ __ ] lose it. It can be a
situation like that. So, but I would
have Cody ultimately lose and this kind
of propels Randy and pushes him into the
world title scene, the WWE Championship
scene. But we're not done because you
want to extend this feud and it could be
a situation where Randy may has may have
the opportunity to win number 15, right?
Maybe he's about to face CM Punk. He's
about to win number 15 where something
happens where Cody gets his revenge and
cost Randy the title and he doesn't get
that opportunity and then they've set up
one final match. Some stipulation of
course to end off their feud uh for now.
But I think from a story perspective,
Randy winning here makes sense. Cuz if
Cody wins
and nothing changes about Cody, then
this is pointless. Randy needs to be the
one to win here so they can extend this
further. And that's my uh Sunday night
main event prediction. Once again, I got
Charlotte uh Charlotte Flair, Alexa
Bliss, and Tatum winning over Jay
Cargill and the baddies. I got Baron
Corbin not beating little Gotti before
the fiveminute time limit is up. And
then I have Trick Williams beating Baron
Corbin for United States Championship. I
have Oba losing to Braun Breaker with
the assist of a returning Bronson Reed.
And I have Cody losing to Randy Orton
potentially because uh Cody is, you
know, just out of it mentally and Ry's
able to take advantage of Cody not being
there mentally and you know something
like that could possibly happen. And
that's my predictions. It's a small
card. Honestly, two out of four matches
are the only thing I truly truly care
about. Everything else is just like a
eh. And that's the only reason why
excited about Sunday night's main event
is because of those two matches alone.
At least we'll have an hour uh because I
think it's probably gonna be a two-hour
show. At least they those two matches
alone could equal up to an hour worth of
good entertainment. Hopefully the whole
show is entertaining, but we'll see. But
hey, comment down below. Let me know who
do y'all have winning, who do y'all have
losing for Sunday night's main event,
and give your reasonings why down below.
But I appreciate all love support. Road
to 200k. Appreciate you taking me. See
you on the next one. Peace.
