10 Bold WWE Predictions For 2017
Will we see Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle again next year?
2016 is drawing to a close and for WWE it's been quite the crazy year. From AJ Styles debuting and winning the WWE championship in his first year to the women's revolution officially arriving on the main roster, there's been a lot to enjoy about Vinny Mac's company this year.
Of course, there were plenty of downs too. Zack Ryder's push ended before it had even really begun, Rusev and Lana continue to be treated abhorrently, and WWE never truly capitalised on the buzz following the Cruiserweight Classic.
And while we certainly didn't get everything right about 2016 - we're still waiting on that Roman Reigns heel turn - there were some bold predictions which did come true. Women finally main evented a WWE Pay-Per-View, Finn Balor was a star on Raw from day one, and Shinsuke Nakamura took NXT by storm.
It's only natural now, then, that we look ahead to what we might be able to expect in 2017 and speculate wildly with some bold predictions about big moments which could be on the horizon next year.
Here's 10 big things we reckon will happen in WWE in 2017.
10. Cesaro Gets A Huge Push
We thought 2016 would finally be Cesaro's year but, alas, once again WWE failed to realise just what a talent they have on their hands in 'The Swiss Superman'.
Although his newer James Bond / Chippendales inspired gimmick is a bit odd, you can't deny that Cesaro draws one of the loudest crowd reactions on the active roster. Except WWE seemingly can deny it, as they continue to ignore just how popular Cesaro is. His work against and then alongside Sheamus in 2016 seemed to invigorate both men but Cesaro still hasn't kicked on and been permitted to knock on the door of the main event.
Hopefully 2017 is when all that changes. While we're not asking for Cesaro to win the WWE Championship next year, it would be nice to see him transferred to Smackdown and handed a lengthy run with the Intercontinental title. Hell, transfer Sami Zayn too and these two can tear it up at each Smackdown PPV for a few months and maybe even headline some shows together. WWE can't hold Cesaro back forever; can they?
