One thing, though: A lot of people brought up the Tigerclaw vs. Donnie thing as being odd. To me, I think it's foreshadowing. When I first came up with the theory of Shredder targeting Donnie, I immediately pictured Donnie being hunted by Tigerclaw and eventually those two would have to face off.
Besides, their fight seemed a bit different from the others. Raph, Leo, and Mikey's fights all ended with their adversaries turning into a puff of smoke. Yet we just saw Tiger Claw get thrown into the abyss. I was expecting Donnie to throw him against the mountain and an avalanche would crush Tiger Claw, making him go "poof."
I'm probably looking WAY to much into this, but what if this is almost like a sign that Donnie's REAL fight with Tigerclaw won't end in one round? I'm not expecting Leo to take out Shredder in one round either, but it shows that he is able to defeat him. I just think that when they get to New York and if our "Target: Donnie" prediction comes true, then Tiger Claw will hunt Donnie and Donnie is going to have to remember this confrontation.

Great theory. I'm hoping for that type of an arc. I'm sure most have speculated on that happening.
I figured that Donnie was paired up against Tigerclaw for about...four reasons. First, Leo had to face Shredder.
Second, Tigerclaw is second in command...and in all honesty and I blame the OT for this, but I
always viewed Donnie as second after Leo. Third, to show brain beats brawn. Fourth...Phil LaMar wasn't around to voice Stockman.
...but I like your theory and speculation more. Maybe it is foreshadowing. It would make sense that Shredder would use Tigerclaw to try and get Donnie.
