It’s time for another WWE PPV. Stomping Grounds, the latest event, takes place at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. The card is stacked, with nine matches taking place over the evening, seven of which are championship bouts, including one of in a steel cage.
There are some standout fights on the card, even if the show as a whole feels a tad lackluster. Kofi Kingston will defend his WWE Championship against Dolph Ziggler, and Kingston told GameSpot recently that he compares this rivalry, in a sense, to Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels. Additionally, we spoke to the champ about his work on the video gaming channel UpUpDownDown. This bout will take place in a steel cage, so it should be exciting. Additionally, Baron Corbin challenges Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship, and hopefully, Brock Lesnar doesn’t cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase.
For the women’s division, there are two high-profile championship matches. First, Becky Lynch takes on Lacey Evans again, and Lynch will have to defend her Raw Women’s Championship in the bout. Per usual, we’re predicting Lynch to retain her title. On Smackdown, champion Bayley faces Alexa Bliss, who will have Nikki Cross in her corner. How will Cross come into play and will she realize she’s on the wrong side of this war? We’ll find out tonight.
