#7 Andrade vs Humberto Carrillo (United States Championship)

Some good potential here
Some good potential here

After an excellent Ladder Match for the United States Championship between Andrade and Rey Mysterio, Humberto Carrillo made his return to RAW to confront El Idolo. After all, it was Andrade who took him out with a DDT on the concrete around a month ago.

These two will face off for the US Title, in another match which could possibly move to the kickoff show. If it does, Andrade and Carrillo should ideally get a good chunk of time to do what they do so well. Wrestle a compelling match.

The former 205 Live man scored a few victories over Andrade in December, including on the TLC kickoff show. But Zelina Vega's client has had a new lease on life since then. He is as strong as ever right now, so he should retain the title, but not before Carrillo puts up a good fight.

Prediction: Andrade defeats Humberto Carrillo after some great action


#6 Bayley vs Lacey Evans (SmackDown Women's Championship)

This feud will likely continue
This feud will likely continue

It seemed like Friday Night SmackDown was desperately short on female babyfaces after Bayley and Nikki Cross wrapped up their rivalry. So, Lacey Evans gradually turned face and now, she has a match against the SmackDown Women's Champion at the Royal Rumble.

The Sassy Southern Belle won a match between the pair last week and earned the title match for Sunday, where she will probably put up a good fight. However, it is not her time yet. The money for WrestleMania lies elsewhere.

Everybody knows that the biggest match WWE could book for the SmackDown Women's Championship at 'Mania is Bayley vs Sasha Banks. And while there is a possibility that Evans wins the belt and then loses it later, a longer reign for Bayley would be more beneficial to the story. Lacey's time will come.

Prediction: Bayley defeats Lacey Evans possibly with help from Sasha Banks
