This is the marquee match the PPV is built on, and it's an absolute toss-up on paper. While Cody Rhodes has the slightly better PPV win rate, CM Punk is riding a staggering wave of momentum with a perfect 10-0 record in his last ten, and he's been dominant on television all year. That "Best In The World" swagger is undeniable. I'm giving the very slight edge to Punk here; his intensity and psychological warfare will be the difference-maker in a brutal, back-and-forth war. Look for Cody to land a few Beautiful Disaster kicks and perhaps even a Cross Rhodes for a very close near-fall, but Punk will find a way to counter into the Go To Sleep for the three-count in around 25 minutes. The Second City Saint's story continues.
This one feels like a collision course, and while Brock Lesnar is the proven beast who can end anyone's night with a sudden F-5, I'm giving the slight edge to the undefeated juggernaut, Oba Femi. The Ruler is not only physically dominant, but his perfect record in his last ten bouts—especially compared to Lesnar's inconsistent 50% over the same stretch—shows a terrifying momentum that can't be ignored. Femi's overwhelming PPV success suggests he thrives under the brightest lights, and his sheer power could neutralize Lesnar's suplex arsenal. I see this brutal war of attrition ending after a massive struggle, with Femi finally putting The Beast down with his devastating Fall From Grace to score the biggest win of his career.
Liv Morgan enters this PPV riding a historic wave of momentum with a perfect 10-0 record in her last ten outings, a streak she'll be desperate to protect against her personal rival. IYO SKY is a world-class technician with a deeper career resume, but the psychological edge here is insurmountable: Liv is a perfect 8-0 against her, having clearly figured out the "Genius Of The Sky." While IYO's arsenal, from the Io Galaxy Meteor to the Shinkansen Attack, is more diverse, Morgan's ObLIVion has been her ultimate equalizer in this feud. Given Liv's stellar 70% PPV win rate and her current unstoppable push, she's the clear pick to continue her dominance. Look for Morgan to counter a high-risk move from the top rope and seal another victory with the springboard flatliner around the 14-minute mark.
