5 Bold predictions for WWE Stomping Grounds

WWE will host the first-ever Stomping Grounds PPV this Sunday at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. WWE completed the build-up towards the PPV as of the latest episode of SmackDown Live. The show features nine matches in the card so far, and we can expect WWE to add more to the line-up before Sunday.

WWE is facing a lot of trouble in selling out the event, which is why they decided to shake-up the card to bring in more attendance to the show. WWE added three more matches to the line-up this week including two title matches for the US & SmackDown Tag titles and a tag team match with Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs. Big E & Xavier Woods.

With AEW gaining more popularity day by day, WWE has to make sure the success of the event to keep their reputation in the market. The fans are already complaining about the matches being too repetitive, and WWE has a tough task ahead to justify the card they have put together for the event.

With that in mind, let's look at five bold predictions for WWE Stomping Grounds.

__________________________________________________________________________

#5 Lacey Evans wins the Raw Women's Championship

Becky No Belts is imminent this Sunday!

The fans will always remember the inspiring story of Becky Lynch’s rise to the top of the WWE women’s division. WWE made sure Lynch looked like a star throughout the storyline, and she made history by becoming a double champion in the main event of WrestleMania 35.

Now she has a new adversary in the Sassy Southern Belle, Lacey Evans. Evans cost Lynch the SmackDown Women's title at MITB after she failed to take the Raw Women's title from the Man.

The Classy Lady will get another opportunity at the Raw Women's title at Stomping Grounds. Lacey Evans promised Lynch would become Becky No Belts this Sunday and that could come to fruition this Sunday.

Becky Lynch’s title reign is losing its aura, and we could see the Man falling to the Woman’s Right this Sunday at Stomping Grounds.

#4 Drew McIntyre tames the Big Dog with Shane McMahon's help

The Big Dog has a tough task ahead

Drew McIntyre was the first person to stand up to Roman Reigns after the latter made his return in February. The two locked horns at WrestleMania 35 in which the Big Dog emerged victorious.

McIntyre has aligned himself with Shane McMahon who himself has some unfinished business with the Roman Reigns. The Scottish Psychopath helped Shane O'Mac defeat Reigns at Super ShowDown, and it has increased the tensions between the two Superstars.

Reigns delivered a beatdown to Shane McMahon and McIntyre on this week's Raw looking to gain some momentum before this Sunday.

But things might not go as planned for the Big Dog as McIntyre has the numbers advantage. With Shane McMahon and the Revival in his corner, McIntyre could steal one over Roman Reigns this Sunday at Stomping Grounds.

#3 Alexa Bliss uses Nikki Cross to beat Bayley

The Goddess is a genius!

In the latest WWE NEWS, Alexa Bliss became the No.1 contender for the SmackDown Women's title on the June 4 episode of SmackDown Live. Being a Raw superstar, she used the wildcard rule as an advantage to get the title shot against Bayley.

Bliss began an unlikely friendship with Nikki Cross seemingly to use her for her own advantage. Ever since Bliss became the No.1 contender for the SmackDown women's title, the Goddess has been antagonizing Bayley to Nikki Cross.

Bliss and Cross competed for the Women's tag team titles against the IIconics on this week's Raw. Bayley cost them the match and Nikki Cross was visibly upset over the SmackDown Women's Champion crushing her dreams.

Things got heated up between Bliss and Bayley on tonight's SmackDown Live, and it looks like Bliss will succeed in using Nikki Cross to get to her sixth women's title.

#2 Kofi Kingston shuts Dolph Ziggler down for good

Kofi's reign will continue

When Kevin Owens refused to travel to Saudi Arabia for Super ShowDown, WWE brought up Dolph Ziggler to be his replacement to challenge Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship.

Ziggler couldn't get the job done at Super ShowDown and immediately challenged Kingston to a rematch at Stomping Grounds. He demanded the match to be inside a steel cage where Kingston will not have his New Day brothers to assist him.

Kingston accepted Ziggler's challenge, and the two will lock horns inside a steel cage at Stomping Grounds. With the rumors of Shane McMahon being the one to dethrone Kofi Kingston on the rise, Kingston could retain his title this Sunday.

We can expect this feud to culminate at Stomping Grounds and if the rumors are true, Kingston and Shane O'Mac could cross paths right in time for SummerSlam.

#1 Paul Heyman becomes the Special Guest Referee

Corbin could've found an advocate to be his referee!

There's a triangular battle going on for the Universal Championship with Brock Lesnar and Baron Corbin looking to take down the champion Seth Rollins.

Brock Lesnar teased to cash in his Money in the Bank contract on Seth Rollins on multiple occasions but refrained from doing so. The Beast Incarnate had two golden opportunities to take back the Universal Title, but Rollins was fortunate on both instances.

Baron Corbin failed to capture the title at Super ShowDown and demanded a rematch at Stomping Grounds on the condition that he gets to pick a special guest referee.

Seth Rollins has been foiling Corbin's attempt to find a guest referee for his match at Stomping Grounds. Rollins attacked every superstar Corbin approached to be the referee leaving the challenger with no one to choose.

WWE can pull off a surprise by having Brock Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman as the special guest referee for the Universal title match at Stomping Grounds. Brock Lesnar can be at ringside while Heyman officiates the match waiting for an opportunity to cash in his MITB contract.

As far as the result of the match is concerned, we can expect Rollins to retain the title and escape Lesnar's attempt to cash in once again.
