7) Kofi Will Defeat Cesaro Via Disqualification After Sheamus Interferes
After Kofi defeats Sheamus, I think that he will next have to face Cesaro in the gauntlet.
After a lengthy match between Cesaro and Kofi, I think that it is going to end in a disqualification. This will come after Sheamus interferes and attacks Kofi. This will lead to the Bar destroying Kofi together to generate some heat.
The idea here is to keep stacking the deck against Kofi. He advances in the gauntlet by disqualification but he has been hurt by the post-match attack from the Bar.
6) All of the Smackdown Tag Teams Will Make The Save & Will Brawl
During the Bar’s attack on Kofi, I am thinking that we are going to see the entire tag team division interfere. That will include The Hardy Boyz, Ricochet & Aleister Black, Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura
This will lead to a massive brawl during the gauntlet match involving the Smackdown tag team division. This would help Kofi move on to the next person. It would also be a way to further the storyline between the tag teams.
The idea here is that it would plant some seeds towards the Smackdown Tag Team Title match at Wrestlemania 35. Either all of these teams will be involved in the Title match at the event. Or, they will do a number one contenders match on an upcoming episode to determine the Usos’ opponents. Either way, this continues the storyline in the Smackdown tag team division.
5) Kofi Will Defeat Samoa Joe By Count Out After He Gets Distracted By Rey Mysterio, Andrade & R-Truth
Samoa Joe will be one of the biggest obstacles that Kofi has to face in the gauntlet match. I see him being one of the final two people to face Kofi in the match. Joe will more-than-likely lay a good beating on Kofi. WWE is going to build Joe up strong prior to Wrestlemania.
I am thinking that Joe isn’t going to get pinned here. I am sensing some shenanigans involving Rey Mysterio, R-Truth, and Andrade during this match. Those three along with Samoa Joe have been feuding for a while and it would make sense for them to be involved here.
I say that Joe will lose by count out after brawling with those guys. This protects Joe from being pinned and keeps the United States Title storyline going.
