3 Big possibilities for Stomping Grounds 2019

Scheduled for June 23, Stomping Grounds is just 3 days away and will be live from Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. While WWE has already announced a total of nine matches(including the kick-off show) for the event, there is neither any buzz nor any excitement among the WWE fans for the event.

Given the bookings of the pay-per-view, there has been a huge outcry all over the Internet with people calling it "rematch grounds". As a matter of fact, WWE has been really struggling to sell tickets for June 23.

Furthermore, the PPV looks very predictable and monotonous at the same time and I am afraid, the fate of Stomping Grounds might already be sealed unless WWE drops a bomb this Sunday.

Anyhow, here are 3 huge predictions for Stomping Grounds.

---

#3 Ricochet picks up a win over Samoa Joe via disqualification

Expect Samoa Joe to retain his US title in a controversial manner.

Ricochet prevailed over the likes of Braun Strowman, Cesaro, The Miz, and Baron Corbin in a fatal 5-way matchup this Monday Night on Raw to earn a shot at the US title against Samoa Joe at Stomping Grounds. However, it might not be a happy ending for Ricochet on June 23.

Yes, given the duo will face off against each other for the first time on June 23, WWE is not likely to put their feud to bed this early by giving Joe a clean win over Ricochet. Thus, expect Joe to go bonkers on Ricochet to hand him a win via disqualification. Or, even a controversial win for Samoa Joe via a referee error looks to be on the cards.

This would not only help their feud grab a few eyeballs but could also be the beginning of an intense rivalry if creative books it right.

#2 Baron Corbin names Shane McMahon as the special guest referee for his match against Seth Rollins

Shane McMahon could be the special guest referee for Rollins vs Corbin.

Baron Corbin was scheduled to announce the special guest referee for his Universal Championship match against Seth Rollins at Stomping Grounds this Monday Night on Raw. However, with Seth Rollins wreaking havoc on potential contenders this week on both Raw and SmackDown, WWE very smartly saved it for June 23.

After the likes of Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and Paul Heyman were sidelined from the race of special referee this week, Shane McMahon looks to be the likely contender to take the spot. Given how Shane has replaced Stephanie as the heel authority figure plus his affinity towards Corbin, he seems fit for the role this Sunday.

While there have been speculations of Brock Lesnar donning the white and black stripes t-shirt, it seems a bit distant at this point in time. Nonetheless, one should not count out that possibility yet.

#1 Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins join forces to take out Lesnar, Shane and Corbin

Brock Lesnar could pay a surprise visit at Stomping Grounds.

With Shane McMahon likely to be named as the special guest referee for Rollins vs Corbin, the heel duo are likely to gang up on Rollins at some point during the match. This could then give The Beast Brock Lesnar a perfect opportunity to pay a surprise visit to cash-in his MITB briefcase.

However, given how Roman Reigns has been actively involved in a fierce rivalry against Shane for the last month or so, expect The Big Dog to show up to aid his former Shield-brother.

Reigns could not only take out Lesnar before he cashes in his briefcase but could join forces with Rollins to prevail over the heels to end the show on a high.

On another note, Roman Reigns will face Drew McIntyre at Stomping Grounds in what could be called as WrestleMania 35 rematch. However, a win for the former Universal Champion could be and should be on the cards.
