#4 The Shield vs. Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, and Bobby Lashley

Filler it might be, but it will still be a major selling point to see Roman Reigns back in his first match and, with the likely departure of Dean Ambrose next month, possibly the Shield's last match together on pay per view.

Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre will serve as good enough foils for them. That's enough to get this into the middle of the show, but no higher, since much higher stakes will be competed for later.

The match would be more fun if they gave it some kind of hardcore stipulation.


#5 Daniel Bryan vs. Kevin Owens

Last month, the WWE Championship match main evented a pay per view, but that was the rare exception. This time, things will return to the norm and the title will be high up on the card, but not at the top of it.

The title and Kevin Owens' return to the ring will make for good enough intrigue, but not enough to main event this show, given that a certain other match will be taking place on it.

Kevin Owens infamously disappointed in his matches with AJ Styles, so we'll just have to see what he does with Daniel Bryan.
