The Chairshot Staff Picks - WWE Stomping Grounds

Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to The Chairshot Staff Picks! Summer is upon us and so our sights are set on the highway to hell!… aka SummerSlam. Before we can get there, we must endure a few checkpoints along the way. First up, Stomping Grounds!!! A very solid card of intriguing matchups. I’m once again looking forward to a solid in ring showing from the WWE main roster. Now, time to predict the future…

WWE Stomping Grounds – Tacoma, Washington

DPP – Owens & Zayn
Chris Platt – Owens & Zayn
Andrew Balaz – Owens & Zayn
Greg DeMarco – BigE & Xavier

Tunney’s Take: Very much looking forward to this tag team match. Both teams could benefit from some momentum and possibly find themselves in a tag title match in the near future. My pick is Kevin and Sami

TheChairshot – Owens & Zayn 14-5 #UseYourHead

Daniel Bryan & Rowan(c) v Heavy Machinery

Bradley Jay – Heavy Machinery
Bobby Fernandes – Heavy Machinery
Carol Cassada – DB & Rowan
Francesca Scopalleti – DB & Rowan
Harry Broadhurst – DB & Rowan
Jason Shufletowski – DB & Rowan
Mathew Sarpriacone – DB & Rowan

Tiffany Carter – DB & Rowan
Dave Ungar – DB & Rowan
Miranda Morales – DB & Rowan
DPP – DB & Rowan
Chris Platt – DB & Rowan
Andrew Balaz – DB & Rowan
Greg DeMarco – DB & Rowan

Tunney’s Take: This would be one hell of a victory for Otis and Tucker! I just don’t see their time as right now, its coming soon, just not at Stomping Grounds. My pick is Daniel Bryan & Rowan

The Chairshot – Daniel Bryan & Rowan 17-2 #UseYourHead

Samoa Joe(c) v Ricochet

Bradley Jay – Ricochet
Bobby Fernandes – Ricochet
Carol Cassada – Joe
Francesca Scopalleti – Ricochet
Harry Broadhurst – Joe
Jason Shufletowski – Joe
Mathew Sarpriacone – Joe
Rey Ca$h – Ricochet
Rob Bonnette – Joe
Steve Cook – Ricochet
Steven Mitchell – Joe
Tiffany Carter – Joe
Dave Ungar – Ricochet
Miranda Morales – Joe
DPP – Ricochet
Chris Platt – Joe
Andrew Balaz – Joe
Greg DeMarco – Ricochet

Tunney’s Take: This is the match I want to be given as much time as these two would like. What a great clash of styles! Ricochet has been gaining popularity and momentum lately, but Joe could be his toughest task yet. My pick is Samoa Joe

The Chairshot – Samoa Joe 11-8 #UseYourHead

Drew McIntyre v Roman Reigns

Bradley Jay – Reigns
Bobby Fernandes – Reigns
Carol Cassada – McIntyre
Francesca Scopalleti – Reigns
Harry Broadhurst – McIntyre
Jason Shufletowski – McIntyre
Mathew Sarpriacone – Reigns
Rey Ca$h – Reigns
Rob Bonnette – Reigns
Steve Cook – McIntyre
Steven Mitchell – McIntyre
Tiffany Carter – Reigns
Dave Ungar – McIntyre
Miranda Morales – Reigns
DPP – McIntyre
Chris Platt – Reigns
Andrew Balaz – McIntyre
Greg DeMarco – Reigns

Tunney’s Take: If Shane McMahon is to continue to the main event against Kofi at SummerSlam, then Drew McIntyre can’t win here. Shane needs to be the only one that can have bragging rights over Roman. My pick is Roman Reigns

The Chairshot – Roman Reigns 11-8 #UseYourHead

Bayley(c) v Alexa Bliss

Bradley Jay – Bayley
Bobby Fernandes – Bayley
Carol Cassada – Bayley
Francesca Scopalleti – Bliss
Harry Broadhurst – Bayley
Jason Shufletowski – Bliss
Mathew Sarpriacone – Bayley
Rey Ca$h – Bliss
Rob Bonnette – Bayley
Steve Cook – Bliss
Steven Mitchell – Bayley
Tiffany Carter – Bayley
Dave Ungar – Bayley
Miranda Morales – Bayley
DPP – Bayley
Chris Platt – Bayley
Andrew Balaz – Bayley
Greg DeMarco – Bayley

Tunney’s Take: I’m very much enjoying the whole Nikki and Alexa storyline. I feel like the dynamic of their relationship is about to change. Nikki will cost Alexa the title victory here. My pick is Bayley

The Chairshot – Bayley 15-4 #UseYourHead

Becky Lynch(c) v Lacey Evans

Bradley Jay – Becky
Bobby Fernandes – Becky
Carol Cassada – Becky
Francesca Scopalleti – Becky
Harry Broadhurst – Becky
Jason Shufletowski – Becky
Mathew Sarpriacone – Becky
Rey Ca$h – Becky
Rob Bonnette – Becky
Steve Cook – Becky
Steven Mitchell – Becky
Tiffany Carter – Becky
Dave Ungar – Becky
Miranda Morales – Becky
DPP – Becky
Chris Platt – Becky
Andrew Balaz – Becky
Greg DeMarco – Lacey

Tunney’s Take: Not that I am 100% confident on all of my other picks but, I really struggled here and wanted to go along with DeMarco. How long can we keep Lacey Evans at the top of the women’s division without a title victory? Another loss here would hurt her legitimacy of being a top star in the women’s division(imo). However, like most title holders right now, it makes sense to see them defending at SummerSlam. My pick is Becky Lynch … insert Dolph Ziggler record scratch here … Becky is better chasing and why not keep this feud going all summer. My pick is Lacey Evans!!! Let’s do this Greg!

The Chairshot – Becky Lynch 17-2 #UseYourHead

Kofi Kingston(c) v Dolph Ziggler

Bradley Jay – Kofi
Bobby Fernandes – Kofi
Carol Cassada – Kofi
Francesca Scopalleti – Kofi
Harry Broadhurst – Kofi
Jason Shufletowski – Kofi
Mathew Sarpriacone – Kofi
Rey Ca$h – Kofi
Rob Bonnette – Kofi
Steve Cook – Kofi
Steven Mitchell – Kofi
Tiffany Carter – Kofi
Dave Ungar – Kofi
Miranda Morales – Kofi
DPP – Kofi
Chris Platt – Kofi
Andrew Balaz – Kofi
Greg DeMarco – Kofi

Tunney’s Take: No Dolph, it shouldn’t have been you. My pick is Kofi Kingston

The Chairshot – Kofi Kingston 19-0 #UseYourHead

Seth Rollins(c) v Baron Corbin

Bradley Jay – Corbin
Bobby Fernandes – Rollins
Carol Cassada – Rollins
Francesca Scopalleti – Rollins
Harry Broadhurst – Rollins
Jason Shufletowski – Rollins
Mathew Sarpriacone – Rollins
Rey Ca$h – Rollins
Rob Bonnette – Rollins
Steve Cook – Rollins
Steven Mitchell – Rollins
Tiffany Carter – Rollins
Dave Ungar – Rollins
Miranda Morales – Rollins
DPP – Rollins
Chris Platt – Rollins
Andrew Balaz – Rollins
Greg DeMarco – Rollins

Tunney’s Take: I would absolutely love to see Baron Corbin win the title here! Corbin has gotten better and better week after week in and out of the ring. Here’s to hoping I am wrong, that we are all wrong except for Bradley. My pick is Seth Rollins

The Chairshot – Seth Rollins 18-1 #UseYourHead

Chairshot Staff Picks: Money In The Bank

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

Published

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

In closing I want to thank everyone on the panel for participating with their picks! You can follow each prognosticator/podcaster on X @ the handles below. We all enjoy Pro Wrestling so remember three things… be respectful of others, comparison is the thief of joy and HAVE FUN!

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
