The talk of the town revolves around CM Punk making his appearance at the cynosure of the show, making his powerful comeback ahead of the Royal Rumble. The Second City Saint looks more than ready to ace his first PPV match during his second WWE stint. Moreover, he aims to wipe out the miserable record of 2015. Punk will likely cut a fiery promo and let his rave known through a confronting segment with any of the locker room members.

Next comes the sinister heel Shinsuke Nakamura and Cody Rhodes’ high-intensity encounter. The Japanese monster looks to settle the feud inside the squared circles after tormenting the American Nightmare through a series of brawls and sly mind games. Nakamura started off the disputes by attacking Rhodes from the back following Survivor Series WarGames. He went up to throw mist into Rhodes’ eyes during their first battle. In the Holiday special edition of Raw and during a videotaped promo, Nakamura crossed all the lines, fueling the air of grudge.

Tonight, we might see a match full of rage, aggression, and revenge, with Cody Rhodes getting the upper hand at the end.

Our women’s troop will show their mojo as well. After Chelsea Green and Piper Niven gave up on their WWE Women’s tag team Championship to Kayden Carter and Katana Chance in a hard-fought bout, they challenged for a championship rematch.

Speculations say Kayden Carter and Katana Chance will retain their championship with ease. Moreover, there are talks about a potential split between Piper Niven and the Chelsea Green tag team.

During Raw last week, R Truth demanded a match on behalf of the members of The Judgment Day to Adam Pearce in a dramatic segment. Pearce made the Finn Balor vs Tommaso Ciampa match official for tonight.

The prediction mill goes like this: Finn Balor is likely to clinch victory with the wise intervention of R Truth, who might officially join forces with The Judgment Day in the process for his calculated help.

Last, but not least, The Miz will butt heads in a one-on-one against JD McDonagh in a singles match. As per speculations, The Miz will win the match with the involvement of R Truth.
