Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch will be in six-man tag team action.

Six matches have been confirmed for Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live, NXT, and NXT UK. No matches have been approved for 205 Live yet. Superstars such as Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor, Shinsuke Nakamura, Kevin Owens, Dolph Ziggler, Andrade, Zelina Vega, the Street Profits, Shane McMahon, the Hunt, Dave Mastiff, Gallius, and Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch will be competing on this week's editions of Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live, NXT, and NXT UK.

On NXT UK, there will be a six-man tag team match between two teams that have had issues with each other lately.

On NXT, there will be an NXT Tag Team Championship match between two of NXT's top tag teams.

On SmackDown Live, there will be a singles match between two former teammates and a singles match involving the Intercontinental Champion and a potential champion.

On Monday Night Raw, there will be a tag team match which consists of a mystery tag team partner and a mixed tag team match.


#6 NXT Tag Team Championships: The Street Profits (c.) vs. Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan (NXT)

Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch got an opportunity at the NXT Tag Team Titles instead of the Forgotten Sons.
Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch got an opportunity at the NXT Tag Team Titles instead of the Forgotten Sons.

The Street Profits defeated Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan, the Forgotten Sons, and the Undisputed Era in a fatal-four-way NXT Tag Team Championship ladder match to become NXT Tag Team Champions. Since then, they defeated the Forgotten Sons by disqualification after Jaxson Ryker interfered in the match. Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch would then save the Street Profits from a beatdown from the Forgotten Sons.

Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch already defeated Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong of the Undisputed Era on an episode of NXT in an upset victory to earn an opportunity at the NXT Tag Team Championships. While there is a lot of respect between these two tag teams, things will likely get aggressive in the ring as both tag teams have an explosive style.

Prediction: The Street Profits to defeat the Brit-Am Brusiers

#5 Gallus vs. Dave Mastiff and the Hunt (NXT UK)

Dave Mastiff and the Hunt have only recently aligned themselves with each other.
Dave Mastiff and the Hunt have only recently aligned themselves with each other.

On NXT UK, Dave Mastiff has had an issue with Gallus ever since he defeated Wolfgang to qualify for a number one contender's fatal-four way match. Gallus then interfered in that fatal-four way match and stopped Dave Mastiff from getting the win.

Gallus also attacked the Hunt after they got a victory over a team of local competitors. Gallus then defeated the Hunt in a tag team match in which Mark Coffey and Wolfgang of Gallus defeated the Hunt. Joe Coffey then came out after the match, and the trio continued to attack the Hunt. Dave Mastiff then made the save and cleared Gallus from the ring. This new trio may have gotten some momentum over Gallus but will have some issues competing against this experienced faction.

Prediction: Gallus defeats Dave Mastiff and the Hunt

Dolph Ziggler and Kevin Owens both unsuccessfully challenged Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship.

Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler were ordered to team together by Shane McMahon last week on the Kevin Owens Show against Heavy Machinery in a tag team match in which the winners would be added to a WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship Title match that also involved the New Day and SmackDown Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan and Rowan.

While Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler put up an excellent performance, they were defeated by Heavy Machinery after Dolph Ziggler accidentally hit Kevin Owens with a Superkick to get the pinfall victory. Kevin Owens then attacked Dolph Ziggler after the match and laid him out with a Stunner as a result of the Showoff costing him the match. He seemingly turned face after taking out Dolph Ziggler and can become a top face in WWE.

Prediction: Kevin Owens defeats Dolph Ziggler

#3 Finn Balor vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (SmackDown Live)

Finn Balor has not been in action for a while now.
Finn Balor has not been in action for a while now.

Finn Balor has not competed on WWE television since he defeated Andrade at Super Showdown to retain the Intercontinental Championship. The Extraordinary Man that does Extraordinary Things recently teased starting a feud with the Artist Known as Shinsuke Nakamura with an interview segment.

The two superstars have fought over the Intercontinental Championship in multiple dark segments and their rivalry will now take place on WWE television.

These two superstars had one of the best matches to ever take place on NXT television on a show that completely revolved around the match between these two superstars. They have only encountered each other at shows like Survivor Series and Royal Rumble.

These two superstars will get the chance to prove that they still have strong in-ring chemistry with each other in a match that can set up a championship match at Extreme Rules or SummerSlam.

Prediction: Shinsuke Nakamura defeats Finn Balor

#2 Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon vs. Roman Reigns and a mystery partner, chosen by Shane McMahon

Many superstars can act as Roman Reigns' tag team partner.

Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon will face Roman Reigns and the Undertaker in a No Holds Barred tag team match at Extreme Rules. Before that, Roman Reigns will compete against Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre alongside a mystery tag team partner.

Roman Reigns has been involved in this rivalry with Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon since WrestleMania 35. He has already dispatched of Elias and Drew McIntyre but has yet to be able to defeat Shane McMahon who beat him at Super Showdown.

Roman Reigns suffered a beatdown from Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon the last time that he faced off with them in a handicap match but was saved by the Undertaker. It is unknown if the Undertaker will be able to make the rescue this time or if we will have to wait for Extreme Rules to see him in action once again.

Prediction: Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon defeat Roman Reigns and his mystery opponent

#1 Mixed Tag Team Match: Andrade and Zelina Vega vs. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch

Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch will have one final tune-up match before they face Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans at Extreme Rules.

Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch will put both the Universal Championship and the Raw Women's Championship on the line in a 'last chance' extreme rules match against Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans at Extreme Rules. The popular couple already defeated Mike Kanellis and Maria Kanellis from 205 Live last week when Becky Lynch made Mike Kanellis submit to the Dis-Arm-Her.

Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch will have a tougher challenge when they face off with the best superstar/manager duo in Andrade and Zelina Vega. El Idolo and his business opponent laid down the challenge to Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch after Andrade got a victory over Apollo Crews. This power couple will hope to get a little bit more momentum heading into their title match.

Prediction: Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch defeat Andrade and Zelina Vega
