Tunney’s Take: The Shield has reunited and all is “right in the world again”. IF we are to get Roman v Dean at Mania then I see that starting this Sunday with some kind of turmoil between the two. My pick is Baron, Drew and Bobby
The Chairshot 16-3 The Shield #UseYourHead

Charlotte Flair v Becky Lynch
- Bradley Jay – Becky
- Carol Cassada – Becky
- David Levin – Becky
- Jason Shufletowski – Becky
- Mason Epeneter – Becky
- Mathew Sarpraicone – Becky
- Rob Bonnette – Charlotte
- Rob Fernandes – Becky
- Scott Mcleod – Becky
- Steve Cook – Becky
- Steven Mitchell – Becky
- Tiffany Carter – Becky
- Dave Ungar – Becky
- DPP – Becky
- Andrew Balaz – Becky
- Miranda Morales – Becky
- Patrick O’Dowd – Becky
- Greg DeMarco – Charlotte
Tunney’s Take: I really wanted to join Rob and Greg in picking Charlotte. There is so much time between Sunday and Mania. Once again the near unanimous pick does not reflect the confidence in my own decision. Becky could easily still be on the outside looking in come RAW on Monday. BUT… My pick is Becky Lynch
The Chairshot 17-2 Becky Lynch #UseYourHead

Daniel Bryan(c) v Kevin Owens
- Bradley Jay – DB
- Carol Cassada – DB
- David Levin – KO
- Jason Shufletowski – DB
- Mason Epeneter – DB
- Mathew Sarpraicone – DB
- Rob Bonnette – DB
- Rob Fernandes – DB
- Scott Mcleod – DB
- Steve Cook – DB
- Steven Mitchell – DB
- Tiffany Carter – DB
- Dave Ungar – DB
- DPP – DB
- Andrew Balaz – DB
- Miranda Morales – DB
- Patrick O’Dowd – DB
- Greg DeMarco – DB
Tunney’s Take: I can easily see Daniel Bryan losing this match by DQ with Rowan’s interference. Keeping Owens in the title picture moving towards Mania. Win, lose or draw Daniel Bryan will be defending this title at Mania, I’ve been saying it for months. My pick is Daniel Bryan
The Chairshot 18-1 Daniel Bryan #UseYourHead
Personally, I’m looking forward to a large majority of these matches Sunday. Storyline-wise I’m not expecting much though. However, I feel like things on RAW and SmackDown moving forward are about to pickup. What I’m trying to say is #UseYourHead and keep expectations low for Sunday. Thanks again to all the staff that participated! Follow me on the Twitter @PCTunney and listen to @podcastDWI as we review Fastlane and The Chairshot Staff Picks next week. It’s the road to WrestleMania, STAY HYPED!

Chris King: Is Brock Lesnar Truly Retired?
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
At WrestleMania 42, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar took off his boots and gloves following his loss to Oba Femi. Lesnar has done it all inside of his twenty-four-year career in professional wrestling. He’s a ten-time WWE Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and he’s one who ended The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
While Lesnar was in the ring, he was visibly overwhelmed with emotion and crying while he thanked the fans in his own way. The Beast even threw up an x to signal to Paul Heyman, his longtime friend and advocate, that this was not scripted and was real. There had been rumors that Lesnar and Oba were supposed to have a series of matches before everything went down at Mania.
‘The Career Killer’ Gunther was doing Heyman’s bidding as he faced Seth Rollins for a favor. For a while now since Gunther retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, the rumor has been Gunther was set to retire Lesnar in his hometown at this year’s SummerSlam event. There’s been no confirmation if Lesnar is truly retired, but on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, we saw Heyman talking with General Manager Nick Aldis. Later that night following Rhodes’ match against the debuting Ricky Saints, Gunther choked out the WWE Champion. Could this be the favor from Heyman?
I know in the world of professional wrestling we live by the mantra of “never say never,” but what if Lesnar is actually retired and this was WWE’s way of shutting down those rumors about Gunther and Lesnar? What if Gunther’s next program is chasing after the WWE title, and where is Randy Orton at in all of these plans? There are so many questions that need to be answered, hopefully soon!

Chris King: Defend The Intercontinental Championship At Backlash!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
This year’s annual Backlash showcase is only a few days away, and while there are many big matches announced, one that definitely should be isn’t on the card. In my opinion, outside of Roman Reigns/Jacob Fatu and Seth Rollins/Bron Breakker, the Intercontinental Championship scene has been stellar over the last month.
Penta has been an excellent champion, especially after his triumphant title defense in a ladder match against JeVon Evans, Rusev, Dragon Lee, and the Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. Their ladder match at Mania was one of the best that WWE has produced in a while.
The momentum never stopped, as on the post-Mania episode of Monday Night Raw, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page made his debut and was quickly inserted into the Intercontinental title scene. Page had a fantastic showing against his longtime NXT rival Evans and picked up a big win in his debut match thanks to an assist from Rusev.
All Ego immediately joined forces with ‘The Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev, who was also vying for the Intercontinental Title in his own right. On this week’s episode of Raw, Page and Rusev defeated Evans and Penta. All Ego pinned the champion, making a huge statement and putting him one step closer to getting a title shot. For the past few weeks I’ve been anxiously waiting to see if WWE was going to add this incredible fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship, but it hasn’t happened yet.
As much as the WWE Universe enjoys witnessing great matches on free television, I truly believe all four superstars deserve the chance to showcase their talents on the PLE. While Penta has done a terrific job as the intercontinental champion, it’s time for a fresh face to hold the prestigious title. Page would make a great braggadocious heel that would help elevate the Intercontinental Championship to new heights!
