Bastard year 2021 is almost over! Now it’s time to guess where our sport is heading in the year 2022, surely a glorious period of time that won’t be soul-crushingly depressing in at least 500 different ways. The old thread will run until the actual end of this year. We'll see who ”won” in 2021 then. I’d love it if you’d look through your own predictions and post what you got right and wrong. Thanks to Forums Poster Benne for already checking off a big chunk of them! Anyway, here pretty much anything goes, you can predict match-ups and their outcomes, entire storylines, heel/face turns, championships changing hands, individual spots in matches, roster changes, injuries, retirements, debuts, PPV locations or lengths, it can be about what happens at the very first match of the year or maybe it'll be something we'll have to wait until December 31st 2022 for, it can be about one wrestler, one promotion or even trends in the medium of pro wrestling as a whole, star ratings, MOTYC/WMOTYC nominations - whatever you want, and don't limit yourself to the stuff I listed there. You can also make it as general or as specific as you like. People have taken very different approaches to predictions, check out last year’s predictions in this post. Let’s predict then, shall we? Predictions can be posted until this year ends (+ a couple of days maybe), then I’ll dump everyone’s guesses into the second post. You're allowed to edit your predictions however much you want until the deadline. ’em and when you get something right during the course of the year you can post about it as well!!! 2021 PREDICTION GAME WINNERS: STAR MAN (most impressively correct predictions): IceAgeComing A WINNER IS YOU (best percentage correct): A Fancy Hat 141 2/3 OUT OF 100: Guillermus A FOR EFFORT / VENOMOUS AWARD FOR VENOMOUS (tons of predictions, most of them wrong): Venomous ONE SHOT, ONE KILL (100% correct with one prediction): BrigadierSensible, Sanguinia 2020 PREDICTION GAME WINNERS: NOT SPOT ON BUT REALLY WELL DONE CONSIDERING THE CIRCUMSTANCES (most impressively correct predictions): Huntman PRETTY SURE YOU GOT THE BIGGEST PERCENTAGE OF PREDICTIONS RIGHT (APART FROM ONE-SHOTTERS) (best percentage correct (apart from posters with only one prediction)): Wazzu ONE SHOT, ONE KILL (100% correct with one prediction): Seth Rollins, Gumball Gumption, PublicOpinion A PESSIMIST'S DREAM (100% incorrect worst timeline predictions): Hefty Leftist A FOR EFFORT (tons of predictions, most of them wrong): Venomous FIGHT ISLAND's pro wrestling predictions for 2022 PART 1 GEORGE W BUSHI posted:- Tetsuya Naito wins the 2022 G1 which is back in the summer GEORGE W BUSHI posted:New Prediction - As part of the NJPW 50th Anniversary Celebrations, Keiji Mutoh will challenge the IWGP Champion at some point next year.

He'll go over Punk. - Windham will debut with AEW but wrestling infrequently, with a character who's closer to the psychological weirdness of Bray than the supernatural weirdness of thd Fiend. There'll be hater holdouts but FI as a whole will lean Always Good. - Brum Broker will get accelerated up the ranks as WWE's talent pool dwindles, but will not be wrestling with them by the end of the year. - the fed will significantly alter their product somehow to account for dwindling crowds, smaller talent pool, etc. Perhaps changing one show to studio-based. It will not be seen as a good or successful move. - Reigns will be champ with no significant changes to his character, general popularity or opinion here. During the last WWE show of the year, as he stands tall at the finale, time will slide to a halt and all our consciousnesses will compress, and then expand within that infinite moment. The human species will then begin living as creatures outside of time, like the Tralfamadorians, but we will not be able to see into the great black that lies just beyond that end-of-show WWE copyright stamp.

Somebody considered a WWE Lifer will show up in AEW and have a career renaissance. Batista will appear on AEW Dynamite to promote a new movie. WWE will sign and debut Brian Cage on the main roster thinking it is big coup but immediately regret it. Apollo Crews will be released and reveal the most damning account of the WWE experience since Moxley. AEW will do an invasion angle involving former ROH guys. Santana and Ortiz will finally become AEW tag champs. The Rock does finally appear at a WWE PPV via a Cameo filmed while on the set of Jungle Cruise 2 that will hint at one more match against Roman Reigns that will never happen.

Either Edge and Christian or the Hardys will reunite in AEW for a final tag team run. Jericho will do something on WWE programming while still remaining a member of AEW. I'm thinking a Hall of Fame appearance or something similar. The Owen Hart tournament in AEW will be won by either John Silver or Lee Moriarty. Roman Reigns will lose the title to Brock Lesnar, probably at Mania. HHH will not be seen on WWE TV and there will even be some speculation that he's been removed from all backstage roles. Nothing will ever be completely clear, though.

I have editted my predictions somewhat. Bron Breakker will win the NXT championship and vacate it when he's called up to the main roster. Miro will unseat Hangman Adam Page to win the title. Before losing to Miro, Page will have successful defences against MJF, PAC, CM Punk and Andrade. There will be an Elite Civil War storyline with Adam Cole playing Starscream and trying to take over the group. Wardlow will break away from MJF and the Pinnacle. Shawn Spears will beat some jobber up so bad Wardlow has a decision reversed and loses his temper and sends Spears to the powerbomb dimension. (This wasn't my idea but I love it so much not to post it here so Coward Tony reads it again). The ROH title will be defended on Dynamite or Rampage. Santana and Ortiz will finally win the tag titles in the best match of the year against the Lucha Bros. Eddie Kingston will play a small part in the storyline. MJF will fail again to capture the AEW World title so will target Bret Hart will appear on AEW TV to present the trophy to the winners of the Owen Hart tournament: Jungle Boy and Serena Deeb. Mick Foley will appear in AEW. At first for a one off, then return for a storyline with Jon Moxley. Foley will not wrestle. Guardian of tradition Cody Rhodes will wrestle Jon Moxley to defend Foley's honor. Naito will appear and team up with/mentor Andrade. Walter will suck rear end in Rainbow NXT but will stick it out for the money. He won't be released and turn up as a Monster of the Week for Hangman Page. Sadly. Roman Reigns will lose the title to Brock at Day 1 and regain it at WrestleMania. Roman will vacate the Universal championship before he loses it, but possibly not in 2022. A wrestler from New Japan, Impact, ROH, and NOAH will appear on Dynamite or Rampage. Brock Anderson, Brian Pillman, Griff Garrison and several generation stars will tease forming a stable but it won't happen. Daniel Bryan will use The Final Countdown as an entrance theme on a Dynamite special or PPV. Ilja Dragunov will have more stars than anybody else in 2022 according to Dave. There will be one NXT UK match which rivals the best AEW match of the year. CM Punk and Daniel Bryan will not wrestle a singles match against eachother in 2022. When they do, it'll be a retirement match and Punk will win. Joey Janela and Sonny Kiss will appear on Dynamite or Rampage as a team.
