6. Cody Rhodes vs. Anthony Ogogo

The discourse on matches like this is always so partisan, when an up-and-coming prospect with a high-ceiling meets a more established figure seen as a company guy, but Anthony Ogogo doesn't need to beat Cody Rhodes.

The American Dream has a clear pathway to victory. Ogogo made a point of protecting his surgically-repaired eye opposite Austin Gunn, giving Rhodes a weakness to hone on in. On top of this is the wrestler vs. boxer argument. Rhodes has been doing this for a lifetime, while Ogogo has just three pro matches on his record. Logically, it makes sense for the more tenured wrestler to win this wrestling match.

And, you know, there's the pop factor. With his father's nickname, pro-USA verbiage, returning entrance theme, and stars and stripes ring attire, Rhodes expects to be received as a king. This could be seen as an opportunity to put smiles on faces, pal.

So as much as your writer would have Ogogo win if he was calling the shots, going stratospheric in the process, most signs point to Cody.

Winner: Cody Rhodes
