Bradley Jay – Usos
Carol Cassada – Usos
David Levin – Usos
Jason Shufletowski – Usos
Mason Epeneter – Usos
Mathew Sarpraicone – Usos

DPP – Usos
Andrew Balaz – Usos
Miranda Morales – Usos
Patrick O’Dowd – Usos
Greg DeMarco – Usos

Tunney’s Take: Either it’s blatantly obvious or we are all going down on this ship together. They are the best tag team in the world in my opinion. My pick is The Usos

The Chairshot 19-0 The Usos #UseYourHead

Sasha Banks & Bayley(c) v Nia Jax & Tamina

Bradley Jay – Boss n Bayley
Carol Cassada – Boss n Bayley
David Levin – Nia n Tamina
Jason Shufletowski – Boss n Bayley
Mason Epeneter – Boss n Bayley
Mathew Sarpraicone – Boss n Bayley

Dave Ungar – Boss n Bayley
DPP – Boss n Bayley
Andrew Balaz – Boss n Bayley
Miranda Morales – Boss n Bayley
Patrick O’Dowd – Boss n Bayley
Greg DeMarco – Boss n Bayley

Tunney’s Take: The Boss and Bayley will be the first to defend the women’s tag team championships. Unfortunately for Nia and Tamina they will also be the first to successfully defend them as well. My pick is the Boss n’ Hug Connection

The Chairshot 17-2 Sasha Banks & Bayley #UseYourHead

Asuka(c) v Mandy

Bradley Jay – Asuka
Carol Cassada – Asuka
David Levin – Asuka
Jason Shufletowski – Asuka
Mason Epeneter – Asuka
Mathew Sarpraicone – Asuka
Rob Bonnette – Asuka
Rob Fernandes – Asuka
Scott Mcleod – Asuka
Steve Cook – Asuka
Steven Mitchell – Asuka
Tiffany Carter – Asuka
Dave Ungar – Asuka
DPP – Asuka
Andrew Balaz – Asuka
Miranda Morales – Asuka
Patrick O’Dowd – Asuka
Greg DeMarco – Asuka

Tunney’s Take: I’m not quite as confident as the unanimous pick here. Part of me could really see Mandy “shock the world” Sunday. Regardless… My pick is Asuka

The Chairshot 19-0 Asuka #UseYourHead

The Shield v Baron Corbin & Drew McIntyre & Bobby Lashley

Bradley Jay – Shield
Carol Cassada – Shield
David Levin – Shield
Jason Shufletowski – BDB
Mason Epeneter – Shield
Mathew Sarpraicone – Shield
Rob Bonnette – Shield
Rob Fernandes – Shield
Scott Mcleod – Shield
Steve Cook – Shield
Steven Mitchell – Shield
Tiffany Carter – Shield
Dave Ungar – BDB
DPP – Shield
Andrew Balaz – Shield
Miranda Morales – Shield
Patrick O’Dowd – Shield
Greg DeMarco – Shield

Tunney’s Take: The Shield has reunited and all is “right in the world again”. IF we are to get Roman v Dean at Mania then I see that starting this Sunday with some kind of turmoil between the two. My pick is Baron, Drew and Bobby

The Chairshot 16-3 The Shield #UseYourHead

Charlotte Flair v Becky Lynch

Bradley Jay – Becky
Carol Cassada – Becky
David Levin – Becky
Jason Shufletowski – Becky
Mason Epeneter – Becky
Mathew Sarpraicone – Becky
Rob Bonnette – Charlotte
Rob Fernandes – Becky
Scott Mcleod – Becky
Steve Cook – Becky
Steven Mitchell – Becky
Tiffany Carter – Becky
Dave Ungar – Becky
DPP – Becky
Andrew Balaz – Becky
Miranda Morales – Becky
Patrick O’Dowd – Becky
Greg DeMarco – Charlotte

Tunney’s Take: I really wanted to join Rob and Greg in picking Charlotte. There is so much time between Sunday and Mania. Once again the near unanimous pick does not reflect the confidence in my own decision. Becky could easily still be on the outside looking in come RAW on Monday. BUT… My pick is Becky Lynch

The Chairshot 17-2 Becky Lynch #UseYourHead

Daniel Bryan(c) v Kevin Owens

Bradley Jay – DB
Carol Cassada – DB
David Levin – KO
Jason Shufletowski – DB
Mason Epeneter – DB
Mathew Sarpraicone – DB
Rob Bonnette – DB
Rob Fernandes – DB
Scott Mcleod – DB
Steve Cook – DB
Steven Mitchell – DB
Tiffany Carter – DB
Dave Ungar – DB
DPP – DB
Andrew Balaz – DB
Miranda Morales – DB
Patrick O’Dowd – DB
Greg DeMarco – DB

Tunney’s Take: I can easily see Daniel Bryan losing this match by DQ with Rowan’s interference. Keeping Owens in the title picture moving towards Mania. Win, lose or draw Daniel Bryan will be defending this title at Mania, I’ve been saying it for months. My pick is Daniel Bryan

The Chairshot 18-1 Daniel Bryan #UseYourHead

Personally, I’m looking forward to a large majority of these matches Sunday. Storyline-wise I’m not expecting much though. However, I feel like things on RAW and SmackDown moving forward are about to pickup. What I’m trying to say is #UseYourHead and keep expectations low for Sunday.

Chairshot Staff Picks: Money In The Bank

Extra, extra read all about it… Chairshot Staff picks are in!!!

Published

June 6, 2025

PC Tunney

Sing it with me… money money money money moneeeeeeeeeyeeeeee… everybody’s got a price! MONEY IN THE BANK is here!!! How money will our staff picks be?!?

AJ – Roxanne Perez
Andrew – Stephanie Vaquer – *Bubba Sparxxx Impression* I don’t tell stories, I let them tell theyself.
Dave – Guilia – A stacked field but I just like her here.
DJ – Naomi
DPP – Roxanne Perez
Jason – Alexa Bliss
Patrick – Roxanne Perez
Rey – Naomi – If Naomi loses, we riot!
Rob – Naomi
Greg – Alexa Bliss – Bliss has had huge reactions since returning and is moving a ton of merch. While I can see them wanting to build Roxanne Perez, Giulia, or Stephanie Vaquer, I think Alexa Bliss.

Tunney’s Take: Rhea Ripley – I’ll make my case short and sweet… Mami in the Bank! You can’t leave that money on the table.

Chairshot Pick – Tie – Naomi 3 & Roxanne Perez 3 (Alexa Bliss 2, Giulia 1, Rhea Ripley 1, Stephanie Vaquer 1)

AJ – LA Knight
Andrew – El Grande Americano – Feels correct given his push and the fact he’s over.
Dave – Seth Rollins – Got to push that new faction.
DJ – LA Knight
DPP – El Grande Americano
Jason – LA Knight
Patrick – Solo Sikoa
Rey – LA Knight – Looks like another push, and he does have history with Cena.
Rob – Solo Sikoa
Greg – Seth Rollins – This company is extremely high in the El Grande Americano gimmick, but this match comes down to Seth Rollins or LA Knight. Given the Rollins storyline, it’s his briefcase to win.

Tunney’s Take: El Grande Americano – Picture this: Chad Gable wins the AAA Mega Championship and El Grande Americano wins MITB! WHAT A SATURDAY in LA!!!

Chairshot Pick – LA Knight 4 (El Grande Americano 3, Seth Rollins 2, Solo Sikoa 2)

AJ – Becky Lynch – Sadly
Andrew – Becky Lynch – I still don’t care about Lyra.
Dave – Lyra Valkyria – Starting to warm up to her and Becky has a lot to do with that.
DJ – Lyra Valkyria
DPP – Becky Lynch
Jason – Becky Lynch
Patrick – Lyra Valkyria
Rey – Becky Lynch – Put some fire on the Irish Beef.
Rob – Becky Lynch
Greg – Becky Lynch – I don’t think you do a rematch here just to have Becky lose again. Unless Bayley shows up to help Lyra.

Tunney’s Take: Becky Lynch – A big part of me feels that winning this title checks off a major box for Becks in her HOF career.

Chairshot Pick – Becky Lynch 8-3

AJ – Cena & Paul
Andrew – Rhodes & Uso – Easy way for Cena to lose without eating the pinfall.
Dave – Rhodes & Uso – Get the QB back on the winning track.
DJ – Rhodes & Uso
DPP – Rhodes & Uso
Jason – Cena & Paul
Patrick – Cena & Paul
Rey – Rhodes & Uso – Heels usually lose these kinds of matches. Logan takes the pin.
Rob – Cena & Paul
Greg – Rhodes & Uso – I hope Jey isn’t an afterthought here like Cody was last fall when he was paired up with Roman. I think Cody pins Cena to set up Cody-Cena 2 at SummerSlam.

Tunney’s Take: Cena & Paul – I don’t think Cena is involved in another loss until he loses the WWE Championship. I also think Logan Paul is NOT done trying to capture Jey Uso’s World Heavyweight Championship. …Travis Scott in the house?

Chairshot Pick – 6-5 Rhodes & Uso

Chairshot Staff Picks: Backlash St. Louis

Chairshot Staff picks!!!

Published

1 month ago

May 9, 2025

PC Tunney

May is upon us and with that, so is Backlash from St. Louis! What does the first PLE after WrestleMania have in store for the WWE Universe? Let’s see if the Chairshot Staff can properly interpret the crystal ball of rasslin’ future.

AJ – Pat MacAfee – Gunther has to start losing control and who better than an announcer.
Andrew – Pat MacAfee – Goldberg getting involved does seem correct here.
Dave – Gunther – He’s not losing to a broadcaster.
DJ – Gunther – Pat is sent to the shadow realm until football season is over.
DPP – Gunther – Post match beat down leads to Pat time off.
Jason – Gunther – One massive spot and or bump from Pat.
Patrick – Gunther
Rey – Gunther – RIP MacAfee, t’was a good life.
Rob – Gunther
Greg – Pat MacAfee – Why? Goooooldbeeerrrrrgggggg!

Tunney’s Take: Gunther – Seems like the right pick here. Pat may be getting some time off and Gunther needs more heat.

Chairshot Pick – GUNTHER 8-3

AJ – Lyra Valkyria – Becky’s hopefully putting her over, still mad about Dakota.
Andrew – Becky Lynch – I have no real interest in Lyra currently.
Dave – Becky Lynch – Lyra is boring AF!
DJ – Lyra Valkyria – Bayley interferes.
DPP – Becky Lynch – Becky cheats and steals the title.
Jason – Lyra Valkyria – Bayley costs Becks.
Patrick – Becky Lynch
Rey – Becky Lynch – Story needs to jump up a bit, Becky Charlotte’s Lyra.
Rob – Lyra Valkyria
Greg – Becky Lynch – It’s been fun, Lyra. (It kinda hasn’t)

Tunney’s Take: Lyra Valkyria – Bayley’s interference should set up some type of program with Becky as we head towards Summer(Slam).

Chairshot Pick – BECKY LYNCH 6-5

AJ – Jacob Fatu – Great way to put him over w/ two former WHCs and LA Knight.
Andrew – Jacob Fatu – He’s Jacob Fatu!
Dave – Jacob Fatu – Too soon to pull the belt off him.
DJ – Jacob Fatu – Priest and LA can’t decide who’s is bigger.
DPP – Jacob Fatu – Your hardcore match, tables and chairs involved.
Jason – Jacob Fatu – The Champ retains due to or in spite of Solo.
Patrick – Jacob Fatu
Rey – Jacob Fatu – All gas. No brakes. Ain’t losing.
Rob – Jacob Fatu
Greg – Jacob Fatu – Someone from The Samoan Dynasty ain’t winning a title just to drop it.

Tunney’s Take: Jacob Fatu – Uncle Mo is on Fatu’s side and other than Knight, I don’t see Drew or Priest holding the US title in the current circumstances of this title’s landscape.

Chairshot Pick – JACOB FATU 11-0

AJ – Dominic Mysterio – Judgement Day shenanigans just leading up to Finn turning on Dom later.
Andrew – Penta – Dom’s fine having a short reign, could also work for pushing AAA.
Dave – Dominic Mysterio – He’s probably more over than Penta.
DJ – Dominic Mysterio – Dirty Dom takes home the gold and the girl.
DPP – Dominic Mysterio – Big Head helps Dom pull out the win.
Jason – Dominic Mysterio – By hook and crook.
Patrick – Dominic Mysterio
Rey – Dominic Mysterio – Latino Heat keeps burning. Finn gets closer to the edge.
Rob – Dominic Mysterio
Greg – Dominic Mysterio – Someone from The Guerrero Dynasty ain’t winning a title just to drop it.

Tunney’s Take: Dominic Mysterio – That belt looks good with the king of chicken tendys. I can see Penta and Rey reforming as a tag team sooner than later.

Chairshot Pick – DOMINIC MYSTERIO 10-1

AJ – John Cena – Why? Cena wins, lol.
Andrew – John Cena – Shenanigans ensue so it’s not a clean win.
Dave – John Cena – The last time is now.
DJ – John Cena – Randy hears voices telling him he needs an Attitude Adjustment.
DPP – John Cena – Cena tries to cheat but the ref doesn’t call for a DQ.
Jason – John Cena – Nefarious means, Randy not ready for Evil John Cena.
Patrick – John Cena
Rey – John Cena – Cena just counting down the dates. Should be fun though.
Rob – John Cena
Greg – John Cena – You know they want Cody to be the hero in the end.

Tunney’s Take: Randy Orton – Once upon a time Randy got himself intentionally disqualified and it cost John. Saturday, history repeats itself with a 180-degree twist. Cena retains via Orton DQ victory. This time, Travis Scott’s appearance takes care of that task.

Chairshot Pick – JOHN CENA 10-1
