Hardcore Justice: #216 (Site) -- #8 (League: Big Show's Big League)
Destination X: #688 (Site) -- #15 (League: Big Show's Big League)
Slammiversary: #265 (Site) -- #7 (League: Big Show's Big League)

*** Armbreaker vs. Austin Aries
-- 4-Down Note: "It appears this is a non-title match, but if it is made for the title the night of the PPV, it will still be scored. Also, "Armbreaker" can be anyone - so if Aries' opponent comes out to a name other than Armbreaker, the match will again still be scored."

This is a tough one to predict since it really doesn't matter who gets the actual win here. Chaos is sure to ensue after the match and the outcome of that is what will advance the plot. If I assume that the match will have a finish then Aries would win so I'll pick that (picking "No Contest" is too bold for me). Will we find out that "Armbreaker" is Luke Gallows? Will we get any clues to Aces & Eights motivation or leadership (JJ is my top suspect but it could be someone's big heel turn)? Those questions could be answered post-match.

My Prediction: Austin Aries, Submission, Yes - interference

*** BFG Finals Match
-- 4-Down Note: "This is not a tag team match, but since we won't know the competitors until the first two matches have taken place, both choices are given for each side."

Bully vs. Aries at BFG

My Prediction: Bully Ray & James Storm, Pinfall, Yes - interference

*** James Storm vs. Bully Ray

This was a really tough one as I think the overall winner will come out of this match. A Storm/Aries buildup for BFG probably would be the best outcome as it is fresh and involves 2 faces that are both receiving huge pushes. My problem is that this scenario leaves a lot of wreslters "unmatched" heading into BFG. I can't shake the idea that Storm will end up facing Bobby Roode in a month so I'll take the Bully. The buildup can be that Aries has to get ready for Ray but he will continue to be distracted by Aces & Eights.

My Prediction: Bully Ray, Pinfall, Yes - interference

*** Samoa Joe vs. Jeff Hardy

Since I picked Ray to win the 1st semifinal I need to guess who faces him. I feel like Samoa Joe is headed for a showdown with Magnus (and possibly RVD in a Triple Threat at BFG). The question is what to do with Hardy? My guess is that Sting will recruit some sort of team for an 8-man elimination tag against Aces & Eights at BFG. Jeff would fit in well there. Tunrs out none of that will really impact this match though. I'll take Hardy as he is probably a better opponent for Bully Ray.

My Prediction: Jeff Hardy, Pinfall, No - no interference

*** Match for the World Tag Team Championship
Kurt Angle & AJ Styles vs. Kazarian (c) & Chris Daniels (c)

I heard that Kurt Angle was hurt at a house show on Thursday night and I think it has made him questionable for this match. I know he won gold with a broken freaking neck but I can't see him winning a title on a bad ankle.

My Prediction: Kazarian & Chris Daniels, Pinfall, No - no interference

*** Match for the Knockout's Championship
Tara vs. Brooke Tessmacher (c)

We've already seen Tara beat Brooke so I doubt we see it again here. It's sort of too bad though as Tara is a much more accomplished wrestler. I know they have to find younger talent but I'd probably center the division around Tara/James/Kim/ODB for as long as they were available. Respect the vets!!!

My Prediction: Brooke Tessmacher, Pinfall, No - no interference

*** Rob Van Dam vs. Magnus

Magnus has told RVD that he doesn't have "it" anymore and he'll probably find a way to get the win so he can taunt Van Dam for the next month.

My Prediction: Magnus, Pinfall, No - no interference

*** Match for the X Division Championship
Sonjay Dutt vs. Zema Ion (c)

I missed this if it was on TV at all lately. I can't see any reason to put the belt on Dutt though. Zema will probably hold it until he's defeated by a returning Jesse Sorensen.

My Prediction: Zema Ion, Pinfall, No - no interference

*** Who will win the match for his team in the TNA Tag Team Championship match?

Why not Kaz?

My Prediction: Kazarian

*** Who will be pinned or made to submit in the TNA Tag Team Championship match?

Angle is hurt so AJ will probably have to do most of the work and take the fall.

My Prediction: AJ Styles

*** How many title changes will occur at No Surrender?

-- 4-Down Note: "This includes title changes for ANY match that is aired on TV/online (such as during a pre-show), regardless of whether or not the match was announced ahead of time or presented as a match above in the game. Dark matches will not count. If one title changes hands multiple times in one show, each time it changes counts as a title change."

Nada

My Prediction: None
