Drew McIntyre
Shinsuke Nakamura

CM Punk and Roman Reigns have a shared opponent, but their Cincinnati confrontation showed that both want to lead the fight. Our prediction is that Drew McIntyre and Shinsuke Nakamura exploit a moment of disagreement.

My pick: The Visionaries. Punk beating Drew in Indianapolis matters, but this is a partnership test. If Roman and Punk hesitate over who is in charge, Drew and Shinsuke need to attack that hesitation immediately.

A delayed tag could be as costly as a missed move. I am watching for the first moment one of them has to trust the other without hesitation.

I favour Drew and Shinsuke when the match becomes a coordination test. If they turn it into separate personal fights, they throw away the most obvious advantage available to them.
