Luckily things are clearing up a little but my throat feels like a mess now
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: 36pt. (8/8, 32TB)

The Free-For-All
Chris - 36pt. (8/8, 31TB)
Doom - 33pt. (6/8, 4TB)
Roy Mustang - 30pt. (6/8, 3TB)
Dollar - 28pt. (6/8, 6TB)
Dubb - 28pt. (5/8, 5TB)
LadyHotRod - 28pt. (5/8, 4TB)
Storm Trooper - 25pt. (5/8, 6TB)

Jimmy King - 24pt. (4/8, 8TB)
Deadd2009 - 24pt. (4/8, -4TB)
Mr. PrettyGood - 23pt. (4/8, -1TB)

I'm now considering taking NJPW off the schedule, given that it seems to be so predictable. Three perfect predictions today. But predictable or no, there's only one explanation how one person could have gotten literally one off a 100% perfect prediction, including tiebreaks... BURN THE WITCH! BURN HIM! But not before @Chris challenges for the big one at Event #14...

Workhorseweight Title
HoHo - 36pt. (8/8, 28TB)
Brett - 29pt. (6/8, 7TB)

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

@Kairi HoHo !!​

At last, I get to use that defence formatting. For the first time in nearly a month. Anyway, who's challenging HoHo?
Workhorseweight Title Standings (events 2x10 ~ 2x12)

Spoiler: Workhorseweight

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)
HoHo - 5 (-2TB) + 46 (7TB) + 36 (28TB) = 87 (33TB)
Chris - 8 (5TB) + 42 (8TB) + 36 (31TB) = 86 (44TB)
Tommy Shelby - 8 (7TB) + 40 (8TB) + 36 (29TB) = 84 (44TB)
Doom - 10 (25TB) + 38 (8TB) + 33 (4TB) = 81 (37TB)
Blaze - 8 (6TB) + 45 (4TB) + 28 (7TB) = 81 (17TB)
Brett - 10 (22TB) + 39 (6TB) + 29 (7TB) = 78 (35TB)
Roy Mustang - 4 (1TB) + 43 (8TB) + 30 (3TB) = 77 (12TB)
Lethal - 9 (7TB) + 41 (8TB) + 24 (8TB) = 74 (23TB)
Dubb - 8 (4TB) + 38 (8TB) + 28 (5TB) = 74 (17TB)
Jimmy King - 4 (3TB) + 42 (6TB) + 24 (8TB) = 70 (17TB)
Storm Trooper - 10 (20TB) + 30 (5TB) + 25 (6TB) = 65 (31TB)
Mr. PrettyGood - 9 (4TB) + 32 (8TB) + 23 (-1TB) = 64 (11TB)
Deadd2009 - 5 (-2TB) + 35 (7TB) + 24 (-4TB) = 64 (1TB)
LadyHotRod - 5 (7TB) + 30 (4TB) + 28 (4TB) = 63 (15TB)
Dollar - 4 (8TB) + 0 (0TB) + 28 (6TB) = 32 (14TB)
Barry - 0 (0TB) + 18 (4TB) + 0 (0TB) = 18 (4TB)

All of which means that our next challenger for the consistency belt is @Wolverine !

Galaxyweight Title
Tommy Shelby - 36pt. (8/8, 29TB)
Blaze - 28pt. (5/8, 7TB)

The winner of this contest...
