Prediction: The New Day retains the Tag Team Championships. There is a small chance the League of Nations could win the match, but it would either mean they lose the titles very soon after winning them due to Barrett’s departure, or will follow the Freebirds rule that the New Day follows, where all members of the stable are champions – and that would just be redundant. Since WWE Creative doesn’t really seem to care what the fans think, The New Day will be defending the Tag Titles against the two United Kingdom brawlers, regardless of fan sentiment. The New Day since Fastlane, but it’s been such an underwhelming story that it doesn’t seem worth pursuing. WWE has tried the angle of the League of Nations vs. Granted, the idea of The New Day as tag champs is getting a little old at this point, as they only lost the titles for a month to the Prime Time Players last year before regaining them and holding them since. Sorry, but this one is a no-brainer, as rumors have it that Barrett will not be looking to renew his WWE contract after it expires this summer, so it doesn’t make sense for WWE to put the belt on him only to lose it so soon. The WWE Tag Team Championship will also be up for grabs, as King Barrett and Sheamus of The League of Nations will clash with the current champions, The New Day. Prediction: Dash and Dawson retain the NXT Tag Team Championships. Owens held the NXT Championship while he battled John Cena at three separate pay-per-views, but holding a different promotion’s championship while fighting on the main roster just takes the NXT title away from where it belongs. While Kevin Owens holding the NXT Championship while competing on RAW was a nice touch, it doesn’t quite fit if the NXT Tag Champs came to RAW holding the belts. It doesn’t make sense for Dash and Dawson to lose the titles so close to NXT Takeover: Dallas the night before WrestleMania, because at this point Chad Gable and Jason Jordan ought to be in the running for the Tag Championships, but WWE Creative seems to like the idea of putting Enzo and Cass, the two biggest names in the NXT Tag Team division right now, in the title match instead.Īdditionally, there is a strong chance of an Enzo and Cass WWE main roster debut after WrestleMania.

They’ve had their shots, and will get another one against the current champions, who defeated them (with shenanigans) back in London last year. This rematch from last December’s NXT Takeover: London has The Revival once again clashing with the most popular tag team in NXT for the Tag Titles.įor the past several months, Enzo and Cass have been booked as fan favorites that just can’t seem to win the big one. Let’s dive into what Roadblock has in store for us. Roadblock is showcasing some of the matches that are truly worthy of WrestleMania, but are just happening on a two-hour showcase in a much smaller arena.

The card for the Biggest Dance of the Year is looking very underwhelming this time around, especially with the main event bout being a match that nobody wants to see. While there is more than one championship match on the card, this feels like WWE’s way of bringing in more money to help prepare for the massive amounts they’re going to lose come WrestleMania. The name is fitting, seeing as the main event sees Triple H needing to get past an additional nuisance before headlining WrestleMania 32 in Dallas, Texas on April 4.ĭon’t expect much to change at Roadblock, however. Roadblock is a live event, not a traditional pay-per-view or a normal episode of RAW or SmackDown, but its inclusion of title defenses and big-name matches gives it a slight PPV feel. This Saturday, WWE imposes a Roadblock on the way to the biggest show of the year, WrestleMania.
