AEW Fight For The Fallen 2019: Predictions

Modified Jul 13, 2019 08:57 IST

AEW's third show takes place this Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida.

Allie vs. Brandi Rhodes

Will Brandi Rhodes get her first win as a wrestler in AEW?

Allie won her match against Leva Bates at Fyter Fest whereas Rhodes has yet to get in the ring in AEW. That's probably for the best. She's better suited as a valet/manager like Lana is for Rusev. Maybe she's improved a lot in the ring since her matches in Ring of Honor and Impact, but I'm not expecting a huge leap in in-ring ability.

Rhodes belongs to my constant line of 'members of the Elite who are also in matches shouldn't consistently go over other members of the roster'. That's okay for the likes of Omega and the Young Bucks because they are amongst the best wrestlers in the world.

Allie is an established worker and easy wrestler to root for dating back to her run atop Impact as its Women's Champion. Depending on how Rhodes will factor onto weekly programming and in the actual division, she should only come out for matches every now and then.

Prediction - Allie wins her second straight match.
