I had to do some digging for this thread, but thought it should be dragged back up before 2018 hits. I failed pretty miserably on my 2017 predictions:

And the WWE is pretty impossible to predict year to year, but I'll throw these out there for 2017:
-Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins will both hold the Universal title.
-After inevitably dropping the WWE title to Cena, AJ Styles will not regain it in 2017.
-Joe and Nakamura will debut on the main roster, Roode will not.
-Alexa Bliss will turn face, Sasha Banks will turn heel.
Neither Braun Strowman or Seth Rollins held the Universal title. AJ Styles did regain the WWE title (but hey, it did take 11 months into 2017 for it
to happen). Joe and Nakamura debuted on the main roster, but Roode did as well. No face turn for Alexa, no heel turn for Sasha.
I guess I'll say I was 2/8 on my predictions.
Nash is only a few inches bigger than JBL and depending on how stiff he gets Punk should be able to take it. -JB King, meant in a totally non-sexual
way

I was kinda right about Triple H...he did play face on tours of India and South America. Steph was off RAW for a good chunk of the year.

Kevin Owens and Jericho will end 2017 as faces...and BFFs.
Is Jericho a face in NJPW? Bullet Club is a heel faction right? Partial marks?
quote:
Roman will end up on SmackDown as a heel.
Nope...the WWE finally found a way to make him work as a face.
quote:
Miz will turn face and stop being awesome.
Very happy to be wrong about this one.
quote:
Alexa Bliss will be moved to RAW as a face.
Alexa did get moved to RAW...1/2 credit.
quote:
Asuka will debut on RAW after Mania.
Got the timing of this one wrong.
quote:
Daniel Bryan will not wrestle in 2017...but will resign/sign an extension with the WWE.
No extension...but no wrestling either for the American Dragon.
quote:
Braun Stroman will beat both BROCK and Goldberg this year.
BRAUN should have beat BROCK in their one on one match. Goldberg took off.
quote:
Kenta will be released before making the main roster.
Is 205 Live the main roster? And he's on his last legs it would seem.
quote:
Samoa Joe will make the main roster...but won't get a monster push.
No monster push for Joe.
Not a great year for predictions...minus my being 100% correct that the Pens would beat the Preds prior to the 2016/17 NHL season.

The =one= prediction I made was so not-even-close. Like, I was thinkin' this would be the Year of The Cena, and he was practically invisible
for large parts of 2017. We literally could not see him.

Gladly wrong, even though Sasha came close to killing her the other night.

Well, he came back but not in a manner anywhere near as cool as my scenario was.
Oh my god, they've shot Cabbagehead!
