So, about that Jeff Hardy vs. Sheamus Bar Fight …
Do not do it
Just don’t book it. Forget this. Act as if it never happened. Have Corey Graves tell anyone who mentions it that they are stupid.
Seriously, fans don’t want to see this. People have been uncomfortable with this story from that angle of hit and run on SmackDown. Every segment the two have had since then has shifted, especially when it comes to urinating. Even Matt Hardy is here publicly saying he has concerns about it.
So before anything else happens, let’s get this over with.

Keep telling stories with Bray and Braun
Not everyone was a fan, but I actually really enjoyed the theatrical tales when Braun and Bray fought back in Money in the Bank, particularly ending with the black sheep mask. There was a lot of “show, not count” narration in that final sequence, and hopefully that can continue with this Wyatt swamp fight.
The match itself probably won’t be as much of a goal as the Firefly Fun House Match Wyatt had with Cena, but it does give Wyatt a chance to take down Strowman mentally using his old cult leader trick and all the iconography he had during that Original Wyatt Family run.
Basically, just don’t make them two guys fighting in the dirty lake water for 20 minutes. If you do more than that, you will be ready.

Make Mysterio vs. Rollins a film match
At the time they announced the “Eye for an Eye” stipulation for Rey Mysterio against Seth Rollins, I only had one question: “How the hell do they accomplish this?”
I’m not talking about the aftermath, whether Rey is removed from television or Seth gets an eye patch, I’m talking about the royal ending where they have to make it look like someone lost an eye without this suddenly becoming a TV-MA product.
The easy solution is to get the two of you to stay behind something (maybe a box or a table), then the winner appears with a fake eyeball while the other person screams off camera. But that is also a boring solution. The fun way to do it is to give these two a cinematic match where they are free to do whatever they want within the Performance Center. Also, that way you can use some camera tricks and accessories to avoid the above mentioned eye removal.

Give Drew vs. Dolph a crazy stipulation
At this point, a world championship dispute with Dolph Ziggler is the WWE version of an anime filler bow; some cool stuff might have, but in the end, it doesn’t make sense. Such is the case here with McIntyre. But at least we know that these two will face each other for about 20 minutes against each other, so let’s be creative with that stipulation.

Give Asuka Vs. Sasha
The Women’s Division has been killing him entirely in the past two months, and much of that is due to the outstanding work that Asuka and The Golden Role Models have been doing. Give the couple between these two as long as possible and you could get a match of the year contender.

Take another step towards Sasha vs. Bayley
The seemingly eternal provocation for the return of Banks vs. Bayley may be coming to an end. The couple has been teasing a future couple with baits and switches and flickering and missing moments for the past few months, but it seems WWE is Finally preparing to pull the trigger and make the Golden Role Models explode. I’m not asking for a complete breakup on Sunday, but adding another wrinkle to the dispute where Bayley withholds against Nikki Cross and accidentally costing Banks her bout against Asuka would somehow be the next step fans are looking forward to.
