For 2TB: which Night 1 match goes shortest? Match 2, Stephanie/Liv only got 6:51. Did you know, by the way, that the total of all 4 women's matches at Mania was 9 seconds less than Reigns/Punk alone? Just thought you should know. 2TB for: Lethal, HoHo, LadyHotRod

Regarding match 1, Cody vs. Orton (1TB for each):
  • Does Pat McAfee get physical with Cody Rhodes? Yes, he ate a Cross Rhodes. 1TB for: Lethal, HoHo, Roy Mustang, Chris, LadyHotRod, Jimmy King, CFCrusader, Storm Trooper, Mr. PrettyGood, Dubb, Blaze, Dollar, Deadd2009, Doom
  • Does Jelly Roll get physical with Randy Orton? No, his only physical interaction was with McAfee. 1TB for: CFCrusader, Dollar
Which team will have its member receive the match-losing fall in match 4, Women's Tag Titles? Alexa Bliss got pinned, so anyone who said Charlexa wins. 1TB for: Chris, CFCrusader, Storm Trooper

Who will pin whom in match 7, iShowSpeed's match? LA Knight over Theory. Who got what there?
2TB (exact) - HoHo, Dubb, Tommy Shelby
1TB (Knight) - Roy Mustang, Chris, LadyHotRod, CFCrusader, Blaze, Dollar
1TB (Theory) - Doom
0TB - Lethal, Jimmy King, Storm Trooper, Mr. PrettyGood, Deadd2009

Which participant will first attempt to climb a ladder in match 11, IC Title? By my count, it was Penta, just as the match began. 1TB for: Tommy Shelby

How many official participants in this weekend's matches will end up being stretchered/medically helped off, whether due to kayfabe or legit injuries? Shockingly, none! This was inspired by the Blampied video where he said Drew/Jacob should have a double stretcher job because they beat each other up that badly. They didn't even do that. The only medical help was given to Pat McAfee, who wasn't an actual participant.
1TB for: Lethal, HoHo, LadyHotRod, CFCrusader, Storm Trooper, Mr. PrettyGood, Dubb, Tommy Shelby

My head is swimming a bit and I slept through ALL of Monday. Bad time for Mania week to happen.
As a reminder, you are sorted on: prediction score, then total number of right predictions, then TB points, then reverse order in the rankings, then earliest submission
Maximum possible score for this event would be: 91pt. (13/13, 76TB)

The Free-For-All
Chris - 84pt. (10/13, 10TB)
Roy Mustang - 78pt. (10/13, 8TB)
Tommy Shelby - 75pt. (9/13, 8TB)
Jimmy King - 75pt. (9/13, 7TB)
Dubb - 70pt. (7/13, 10TB)
Doom - 69pt. (9/13, 5TB)
CFCrusader - 67pt. (9/13, 11TB)
Blaze - 67pt. (8/13, 4TB)
LadyHotRod - 66pt. (8/13, 9TB)
Lethal - 54pt. (6/13, 9TB)
Deadd2009 - 41pt. (6/13, 4TB)
Dollar - 38pt. (7/13, 5TB)

That's a familiar ranking order, isn't it? Feels like home. @Chris is challenging at Event #43!

Workhorseweight Title
HoHo - 42pt. (5/13, 10TB)
Mr. PrettyGood - 40pt. (6/13, 7TB)

The winner of this contest...
And STILL Workhorseweight Prediction Champion!

@Kairi HoHo !!

HoHo's still on top... but what next?
Workhorseweight Title Standings (events 2x40 ~ 2x42)
Ties broken by TB points, then by highest "low" score, then by highest "middle" score, then by reverse order in the rankings, then by magic
Highest scorer challenges, except those involved in this week's title matches or next week's Galaxyweight Title match
(Note: only those that predicted all three of the last three weeks qualify to challenge)

Chris - 26 (6TB) + 21 (6TB) + 84 (10TB) = 131 (22TB)
Roy Mustang - 23 (3TB) + 22 (6TB) + 78 (8TB) = 123 (17TB)
Blaze - 25 (3TB) + 27 (7TB) + 67 (4TB) = 119 (14TB)
LadyHotRod - 21 (4TB) + 29 (9TB) + 66 (9TB) = 116 (22TB)
Lethal - 32 (3TB) + 30 (6TB) + 54 (9TB) = 116 (18TB)
Doom - 21 (2TB) + 25 (6TB) + 69 (5TB) = 115 (13TB)
Jimmy King - 20 (5TB) + 16 (9TB) + 75 (7TB) = 111 (21TB)
Storm Trooper - 0 (0TB) + 34 (5TB) + 70 (8TB) = 104 (13TB)
Mr. PrettyGood - 29 (2TB) + 28 (9TB) + 40 (7TB) = 97 (18TB)
HoHo - 32 (4TB) + 21 (7TB) + 42 (10TB) = 95 (21TB)
Dubb - 0 (0TB) + 18 (7TB) + 70 (10TB) = 88 (17TB)
Dollar - 15 (2TB) + 32 (6TB) + 38 (5TB) = 85 (13TB)
CFCrusader - 0 (0TB) + 10 (5TB) + 67 (11TB) = 77 (16TB)
Tommy Shelby - 0 (0TB) + 0 (0TB) + 75 (8TB) = 75 (8TB)
Brett - 35 (2TB) + 36 (7TB) + 0 (0TB) = 71 (9TB)
Deadd2009 - 0 (0TB) + 21 (7TB) + 41 (4TB) = 62 (11TB)
Looch - 32 (4TB) + 25 (6TB) + 0 (0TB) = 57 (10TB)

Some strong numbers here. But... @Roy Mustang will challenge HoHo at Event #43! HUGE match!

Galaxyweight Title
Storm Trooper - 70pt. (10/13, 8TB)
Brett - 0pt. (0/13, 0TB)

The winner of this contest...
And NEEEEEEEW GALAXYWEIGHT PREDICTION CHAMPION!

@R-Troop !!

You hate to see it, but this is why you always predict early! Troop's reign begins... NEXT EVENT!
