(TGBH) Ay yo what the fack is up yall!! It’s a new year but still the same ol’ bWo cause we dont play that new year new me bullshit. We ouchea, and we ouchea stronger than ever, cause I got my 2 dawgs in the house like a Ruff Ryders music video! We got alot planned for this year so get used to seeing our blog promos pop up on your feeds across various platforms. Last year we dropped 62 blogs, and we plan on besting that number this year. And with this Monday’s RAW being the first of the year, the 1 year Netflix anniversary, AND a Stranger Things crossover special extravaganza, we had to make this the first bee dub oh predictions bee-log of the duce oh duce six.
(PCM) The bWo has gotten so strong, we might need to get tested for steroids. With what we have planned this year, if you aren’t ready by now, it is too late. I see us with well over 100 posts this year, likely way more. No more dabbling.
(DSS) This is gonna be the year the bWo takes over. You know how it feels when you are eating something sweet, and it’s so good that you can’t stop til you feel sick? That’s how y’all are gonna feel reading our blogs. We’re too damn good to stop, and the blogs are gonna be nonstop this year. Get ready, because the first Raw is not even enough to be the tip of the iceberg. It’s barely a blip.
(TGBH) The fed has no off-season and neither do we, so let’s get to it yall!
PREGAME W/BWO - 1ST RAW OF 2026
Women’s Tag Team Championship Match
Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky vs. Kabuki Warriors(c)
(PCM) The women’s tag division is better than it has been, likely since it started. Not on life support anymore, but it needs work. That being said, this match is going to bang. Are we going to get the Rhea/Iyo match sometime? Yes. Will it be soon? I don’t think so. Let it cook. I see Rhiyo getting the win after a hellacious match.
(DSS) The Usos had to get back together because they saw how much life the women were bringing to the tag division, and they wanted in on the action. The Kabuki Warriors are obviously incredible together, and Rhiyo is absolutely killing it as a team in, and out, of the ring. I wouldn’t hate it if the Kabuki Warriors win, but I think Rhea and Iyo are going to walk out with the belts. Last year Rhea won the Women’s World Championship on the inaugural Raw on Netflix, now she’s going to take the Women’s Tag Team Championship on the first Raw of 2026. Then it will be on to Rhea and Iyo vs. Charlotte and Alexa.
(TGBH) I love this rivalry. And the women’s tag team division has seen a strong resurgence in the past few months. With four active teams in contention for the belts, not to mention 7 of those 8 women are former Women’s Champs, this division is picking up steam. There’s been enough hot potatoing of these belts as well, so let’s give the Kabuki Warriors the win here and they can move on to focusing on the next contender. You don’t have to break up Rhea and Iyo’s team, but with it being Royal Rumble season, they can just pan out to do their own thing and still support each other. The elephant in the room remains and it keeps taunting Rhea Ripley, and it will continue to do so til she beats Iyo Sky, or gives it peanuts.
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Rhea and Iyo via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Rhea and Iyo via Pinfall
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Kabuki Warriors via Pinfall
Women’s IC Championship Match
Maxxine Dupri(c) vs. Becky Lynch
(DSS) Maxxine Dupri has been absolutely killing it since coming back against Becky. They’ve put on a few incredible matches, and I expect nothing less from this one. It’s a really tough spot, because Becky has been taking a lot of losses in this feud, but Maxxine absolutely cannot drop the belt yet. If Maxxine isn’t on everyone’s card as the most improved wrestler of the year, then they don’t know ball. Her promos have been passionate, and her ring work has grown so much that she doesn’t seem like the same person she was when she first got into the squared circle. I just hope that after she takes out a few more opponents, that she gives her trainer Nattie a shot at the belt to really test her skills.
(TGBH) Both Dupris have now held midcard gold, except one of them didn’t have to abandon their character or throw a fit about it.That’s right, Maxxine Dupri has evolved so much in such little time whilst remaining true to the character she was given, and used that character in her quest to Intercontinental Championship glory. In the process she has shown her growth in the ring and won over a crowd who has become all too familiar with this new superstar. From cheerleader to champion, Maxxine Dupri is a top babyface in the making that has naturally adapted to her new surroundings. She has made the Alpha Academy her own, making not only Otis and Tozawa proud, but Chad Gable as well. Becky Lynch is the perfect adversary for Dupri her, as another deciding win over Lynch, or loss, will add so much credibility to her stat chart. The main event women’s scene is crowded as hell, Dupri will be the perfect talent to carry the Women’s Intercontinental Division into 2026.
(PCM) Maxxine is my vote for most improved of the year by far. I think she surprised all of us by her progress. Kudos goes to the work she has been putting and it shows. I also love, Becks been one of my favorites since her steampunk phase. She did a great job elevating the IC title to something, far surpassing the US title. But, she is bigger than this title. I think the progress for this title would go backwards if she won. In the interest of fairness, Maxxine had help to win it. Ler her win it clean to retain. Afterwards, I think the money feud is with Nattie. Gimme that at WM.
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Maxxine Dupri via Pinfall

Maxxine Dupri via Suvbmission
World Heavyweight Championship Match
CM Punk(c) vs. Bron Breakker
(TGBH) The Big Bad Booty Nephew is about to bring home Gold for the Steiner Family, the numbers dont lie. CM Punk may be the best in the world, but Bron Breakker isn't just any other opponent. Punk's reign though earned lacks credible defenses. Not to shit on Punk's reign but it was just booked at the worst possible time. And now as we go into Royal Rumble season, I feel like this match should have been saved for the Rumble but Netflix gets what it wants. A proven talent that carried NXT as it's Heavyweight Champion will now fulfill his destiny as he sends Punk off to the Upside Down.
(PCM) I think this is the litmus test. Bron is the future. As much as we have given WWE crap, and rightfully so), they have been building up a lot of future stars. I don’t remember the last time you had do many ready to go or on their way in a long time. At the forefront is Bron. He is money and will be money for years. CM Punk is his test. Punk can have a fantastic match with anyone. And if he can’t, not his fault. Bron is a future world champ, but not yet. Not gonna lie, it might even be this year. But, not just yet. Will there be a bunch of fuckery afoot, of course. But at the end, Punk stands tall
(DSS) This is the match I am the most torn on. CM Punk did it. He won a world title in WWE again. But it’s been a fairly meaningless run, since it has been broken up with War Games. It just shows that Punk doesn’t need the title, since it isn’t elevating him (and he’s not really elevating it). On the other hand, Bron Breakker is putting in some of his best work on the mic against Punker, and he would benefit greatly from the gold. There are more stories to tell with The Vision holding the WHC in their ranks once again, both with them taking on the locker room and the absolutely-happening civil war that will go down in their ranks for the title once they realize that the group being “the future of the business” means only one of them will be standing tall as World Heavyweight Champion. Even Austin Theory joined, just to immediately hype up Bron. I can’t see Theory, Paul and Reed being content with playing backup for too long.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Bron Breakker via Pinfall
