The Express with Bilal Vakani

Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE SummerSlam 2024. WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes is a heavy favourite to defend successfully against Solo Sikoa. The Men’s King of The Ring winner Gunter looks to win the World Heavyweight Championship from Damian Priest. Queen Nia Jax is a slight favourite to detrone WWE Women’s Champion Bayley. Liv Morgan is actually a favourite to defend her Women’s Title against Rhea Ripley. Bron Breakker is a heavy favourite to take the Intercontinental Championship from Sami Zayn! LA Knight is a big odds on favoruite to take the US title off Logan Paul. Drew McIntyre is actually the favourite going against CM Punk with special ref Seth Rollins. Are there too many matches?

Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE Money in the Bank 2024 from Toronto. Men’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match features in order of odds on favourites: Drew McIntyre, Andrade, LA Knight, Carmelo Hayes, Chad Gable, Jey Uso Women’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match again listed by biggest favourites: Tiffany Stratton, Zoey Stark, Lyra Valkyria, Iyo Sky, Chelsea Green, Naomi. The WWE Intercontinental Championship is on the line as Bron Breakker takes on Sami Zayn. This is bar far the closest match with the favourites changing depending on when you looked. Six-Man Tag Team Match The Bloodline are large favourites vs Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens. It seems Cody must take a loss to set up a future title match, most likely against Randy Orton. WWE World Heavyweight Championship Damien Priest defends against Seth Rollins. With this being Rollins last chance at the title against Priest and Priest having to leave Judgment day if he loses it is surprising Damien is the narrow favourite this could go either way. Plus our thoughts on NXT Heatwave!

Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE Clash at the Castle from Scotland World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre. Drew is a narrow favourite here and him winning the title in front of his home country would be a great main event. WWE Women's Champion Bayley vs. Piper Niven. Bayley along with Cody are one of the biggest odds on winners of the night but his popularity across the pond might dismiss the pop Piper Niven rightfully deserves here.  Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn vs. Chad Gable. Gable is a narrow favourite here but should win the IC title here.  WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill vs. Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn vs. Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark. Jade and Bianca come in as the 3rd biggest favourite on the night, but I would not count out the Unholy Union and Bianca and Jade being part of Money in The Bank leading into a match at SummerSlam.  Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. AJ Styles ("I Quit" Match). Cody is a massive favourite here but the match should deliver but should not be the main event.

Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE Backlash 2024 in France! Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. AJ Styles, Rhodes is a strong favourite early in his title run but this should still be a really great match. World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest vs. Jey Uso, similar to Cody, Damian just became champion and is very unlikely to lose it so soon but Jey is an interesting contender at least. WWE Women’s Champion Bayley vs. Naomi vs. Tiffany Stratton (Triple Threat Match), Bayley is less of a favourite here as it is a triple threat but another who should retain her recently won title. Randy Orton & Kevin Owens vs. Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga, an even safer pick than Bayley is Solo and Tama as the new Bloodline. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors vs. Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill, after the men’s world champions BetOnline has Bianca and Jade as the odds-on favourites for the night and NEW champions at Backlash.

Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE WrestleMania XL. HHH has done a stellar job putting together this card: You have The Rock teaming with Roman Reigns to take on World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes Saturday. In a match The Bloodline should win to have Bloodline rules in place for Sunday. Then Sunday Cody is trying to finish the story against Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Championship. If he finishes the story will it be one of the greatest moments in WrestleMania history? Seth Rollins is also defending his title against Drew McIntyre. A match he will likely lose. Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley vs Becky Lynch. In a match that is too close to call. WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY is facing Bayley. You would think this is Bayley’s time. Logan Paul is defending the US title against Randy Orton and Kevin Ownes. Arguments could be made for any of them to win. Gunter is defending his Intercontinental Championship against Sami Zayn. I thought I knew where this was going but now I am not so sure. Jimmy and Jey Uso are squaring off in what is a dream match. LA Knight vs AJ Styles in what should be a win for Knight. The Judgement Day defends their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships in a Six-Pack Tag Team Ladder Match against The Miz & R-Truth, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods, A-Town Down Under, The New Catch Republic and DIY. You would think R-Truth and Miz win here. Damage Control vs Jade Cargill, Naomi, Bianca Belair in what could be the most predictable match on the card. Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits vs. Final Testament (Six-Man Tag Team Philadelphia Street Fight). Because it is still happening. Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee vs. Santos Escobar & Dominik Mysterio. In what should be a passing of the torch moment for Dragon Lee.

Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori are back to preview WWE Elimination Chamber 2024 from Perth Australia. WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Nia Jax. It would be shocking if Nia came away with the win here going into WrestleMania. Elimination Chamber to determine the No. 1 Contender to the Women's World Title at WrestleMania. Naomi, Liv Morgan, Becky Lynch, Tiffany Stratton, Bianca Belair. Becky seems far and away the favourite here even with a mystery opponent to be decided on Raw which could be Jade Cargill. Elimination Chamber to determine the No. 1 Contender to World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins at WrestleMania. Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Logan Paul, LA Knight, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. You would think Drew McIntyre would make the most sense to win? After that LA Knight seems the only realistic option. Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Cody Rhodes to appear on "The Grayson Waller Effect" at Elimination Chamber. In an effort to put over their match against The Rock and Roman Reigns. Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Finn Bálor & Damian Priest vs. Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate. Do you see a tag team title change here?

SiriusXM Canada’s Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Royal Rumble 2024. When it comes to the Men’s Royal Rumble CM Punk seems to be the odds on favourite but Cody Rhodes and Gunter as well as The Rock are possible winners. As for the Women’s Royal Rumble I suspect Bayley to be the winner but Becky Lynch is not far behind with Jade Cargill and Nia Jax as significant competitors. United States Champion Logan Paul vs. Kevin Owens. People seem to like Logan Paul here and he did just sign a new deal with WWE so expect him to be victorious here. Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles vs. LA Knight — Fatal 4-Way Match). No doubt Roman Reigns on here.

Bilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilaSiriusXM Canada’s Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks Bilal Vakani and Daniel Shehori preview WWE NXT Deadline 2023. Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge sees Bron Breakker as the favourite followed by Dijak, Trick Williams (who I recently interviewed), Tyler Bate and “Osh Briggs” as Ringside dot com called him. Especially as Iija is likely to keep his title Bron seems like the safe bet. Speaking of the NXT Championship Ilja Dragunov looks to be far and away the biggest favourite on the night to win against Baron Corbin. As for the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge Tiffany Stratton is the favourite just slightly below Bron followed by Blair Davenport, Lash Legend, Falllon Henley and Kelani Jordan. While others have put Blair and Kelani as favourites. With Lara Valkyrie still champion Stratton and Blair seem likely possibilities. Whereas with Jordan her loss in the NXT Breakout Tournament makes more sense down the road as a number one contender. Also a certain return may distract Blair. Roxanne Perez comes in a close second very likely to defeat Kiana James. In a match some have forgotten Dirty Dom will most likely defend his title not against Wes Lee but rather Dragon Lee

SiriusXM Canada’s Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Fastlane 2023. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man Standing Match. If Rollins wasn’t going to lose the first time, why lose now? John Cena and LA Knight vs Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa. In what should be a fun granted predictable match. Women’s Champion IYO SKY vs Asuka vs Charlotte Flair. When are we gonna get to Bayley vs IYO! Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits vs LWO. The real question is which three members of the LWO are going to be part of this match? Undisputed Tag Team Champions The Judgement Day defend against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso (+200). A weird stopgap match if there ever was one. Will Jade Cargill show up?Bilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilalv87

SiriusXM Canada’s Senior Producer of Talent and Industry Relations as well as Host of The Bilal Vakani Hour on SiriusXM 167 Canada Talks and Daniel Shehori preview WWE Payback 2023. Seth Rollins defends his WWE World Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura. Seth is the betting favourite here but I wouldn’t rule out him dropping the belt in the match or as a result of a cash in, perhaps both? Rhea Ripley defends her WWE Women’s World Champion against Raquel Rodriguez. Rhea is very likely to retain here but should be a great match, what Rhea does after is a bigger question. WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defend against The Judgment Day. While possible it seems more likely than not that Damian Priest and Finn Balor don’t win the titles here. WWE United States Champion Rey Mysterio defends against Austin Theory. They could hot potato the title here but hopefully not. Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus in a steel cage, this is likely the end of Trish’s return and thus Becky should win. LA Knight will also take on The Miz in an excellent battle of promos with only one possible result yeah! If you think LA Knight is going to lose Na Na! Cody Rhodes on The Grayson Waller Effect. Could John Cena show up?Bilal breaks it down, comment at www.twitter.com/bilalv87
