PREDICTIONS
Iron Survivor Challenge
COLBY: I gotta be honest, I did not think this would be the field competing in this year’s Iron Survivor Challenge. That being said, I’m actually not dissapointed. I assumed they would stack it with the “top” talent, but it’s really nice to see fresh faces like Lash, Kelani, and Fallon getting this opportunity. As for who will emerge the survivor, that answer isn’t super clear to me. Tiffany and Blair stand out as front runners considering they could be heel challengers to the babyface champion in Lyra. Considering Stratton was recently in the title picture, I wouldn’t mind seeing Blair vs. Lyra be the next feud coming out of this bout.
WINNER: Blair Davenport
NICK: I am excited for this match. I was at Deadline last year for the first match and it was really fun. It was a break out for Kiana James so I expect the same for someone like Kelani in this match. I love that they are giving Lash this spotlight also. I feel as though a couple women could win this, but I kind of feel like this is Fallon’s moment. So I am going to go with her.
WINNER: Fallon Henley
Steel Cage Match
COLBY: Part of why I’m so excited we’re getting fresh faces in the Iron Survivor Challenge is because Roxanne and Kiana, two women who competed in it last year, are receiving their own spotlight to settle their feud. I’ve been a big fan of Kiana since last year’s Deadline and I’m glad she’s stayed relevant all year. Roxanne’s had a rocky start to the year with the weird way in which her title reign ended, but perhaps a victory here would allow her to re-enter the picture in the new year. I’m rooting for Kiana, but I’d be wise to bet on Roxanne.
WINNER: Roxanne Perez
NICK: This match is going to be so good, I can feel it! The build up to this has been so well done. Both ladies fighting everywhere and anywhere. Roxanne having more of a angry/vicious side of her come out has been really good to see. This result is conflicting to me. Where I think the obvious answer is Roxanne, I think Kiana needs to win a big one. Plus with the rumors out there of who may or may not also be involved in this match, I can see it going either way also. But I am going to go with who I rather have win.
WINNER: Kiana James
