Women of Wrestling's third Pay Per View of the year Superheroes comes to you live Sunday night from Cleveland, Ohio and it is looking to be a great card. There are some big time matches scheduled and we are here to break them down as well as give our predictions for each match. As always we'd love to hear from you on who you got and how does it shake out?
Skye vs. Ember Moon
Skye was upset she missed the go home show, she wanted to compete but was not cleared. Ember Moon has been absent for awhile and who can blame her? She's struggled to find her way since being called up from NXT in the expansion of the new show. Both ladies are looking to find their footing on the card and this match could go a long way to deciding that.
Prediction: Skye
#1 Contenders for the Women's Intercontinental Championship: Sara Maple vs. Trinity
These two have had issues for the past month and it's hit a boiling point. Sara has found herself on a bit of a hot streak since allying herself with the Divas of Doom, Beth Phoenix and Natalya. They have taken her under their wing and led her to the spot she's in now. Trinity is well known in WWE now after coming in with her group The Dark Rising and while they haven't had championship success yet, they are in a good position to. On the go home show Sara called out Trinity, told her she wasn't scared and challenged her to a match with a shot at the Women's Intercontinental Championship on the line. The question now is going to be will The Dark Rising members show up and help Trinity win?
Prediction: Trinity
Submission Women's Intercontinental Championship Match: Becky Lynch vs. Carmella ©
This has been a great rivalry over the past month. Becky Lynch is another women who has struggled to find a place, failing to earn a title shot last month and the month prior losing to Nia Jax in a quick match. But some say you have to make your own opportunity and a few days after being eliminated from the #1 Contenders Battle Royal at Shimmer she made her move by calling out Carmella and making it clear she wanted a shot at the champion. Carmella has defended her title once already against Mickie James, but she's coming off a loss to Lynch by submission on the show this past Thursday. Some say this means the champion is in trouble. We will find out Sunday night.
Prediction: Becky Lynch
Alexa Bliss vs. Asuka
Asuka made her debut two months ago after being the longest reigning Women's NXT Champion in history and showed exactly why she was so dominant in NXT. She quickly dispatched Dana Brooke in her first rivalry on the show and now she's gotten the attention of Alexa Bliss. Bliss has shown that she's not afraid of Asuka but she's also willing to take anything she can get to have the upper hand. This includes her actions this past Thursday when she surprised Asuka with a sneak attack during her match that resulted in Asuka taking the loss. Most are not counting this as a legit “loss” for The Empress and you better believe Asuka's going to bring it Sunday.
Prediction: Asuka
Charlotte Flair vs. Paige
Charlotte is fueled by jealousy. She is a very competitive woman and this showed in the beginnings of her issues with Paige. Flair wanted the number one contenders match opportunity but Paige got it because she was in the right place at the right time. Paige made that very clear but didn't forget the last time these two met on a Pay Per View that Flair tried to show her up with a handshake after their match. Flair didn't want to hear any of it. Her friend Skye stepped in to challenge Charlotte to a match which she lost, and now Charlotte is looking to show everyone exactly why she was born for this business.
Prediction: Charlotte Flair
Extreme Rules WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: The Dark Rising vs. The Valentine Sisters ©
An old rivalry from AWA has finally taken shape here in the WWE and boy what a first month it's been. These two teams do not like each other at all and this has been a VERY physical and personal feud since day one. Chloe and Raine became the first Women's Tag Team Champions after defeating TNT in the tournament finals at Mayhem. The next month they defended the titles successfully against the Bella Twins and The Dark Rising defeated TNT to get this opportunity. Both teams are fueled by hate and this should tear the roof off the place.
Prediction: The Dark Rising
WWE Women's Championship: Naomi vs. Sasha Banks ©
Naomi was the first WWE Women's Champion of the new era after beating Bayley in a match between the Raw and SmackDown Women's Champions at Mayhem two months ago. Sasha Banks beat Alexa Bliss to earn the title shot and then at Shimmer, she got the job done beating Naomi and became champion. Since becoming the champion Sasha's confidence has skyrocketed and now it appears “The Boss” is back. This has led to some behavior from Banks that we have seen before including shunning her best friend Bayley who is next in line for a title match. On the go home show we saw Naomi turn the tables on Sasha in a tag team match and walk out, Sasha would eventually lose shortly after and that has to have Naomi feeling good about her chances heading into Sunday. But in the words of Sasha Banks “A boss does whatever they can to hold onto what is theirs.” Sunday night will be a good test for both ladies.
Prediction: Sasha Banks
