WrestleMania 34 Predictions
We've predicted Supercard of Honor and TakeOver: New Orleans. Now, it's time to take a look at the biggest show of them all: WrestleMania. This year's spectacle has a great card and is jam-packed with matches. Yes, it's probably going to be tremendously long, but hopefully, it will all be worth it. Let's get started.
Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Superstars already announced for this match include The Revival, Sin Cara, Mike Kanellis, Elias, Curt Hawkins, Kane, R-Truth, Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin, Heath Slater & Rhyno, and Titus Worldwide. It's really hard to pick a winner for this match, especially since we don't even know all of the entrants. I'm sure we'll see some entrants from NXT and 205 Live such as Hideo Itami and Roderick Strong. I'll just go on a limb and pick a returning Big Cass to win. However, I would love to see Elias get the win. He's been excellent on the main roster thus far and a win in this match would validate his great work.
Who should win: Elias
Who will win: Big Cass
WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal
I'd like to start off by saying: fuck the Fabulous Moolah. That is all. Now, let's get a little crazy. While we already know all of the women from Raw and Smackdown that will be in this match, including Absolution, Riott Squad, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Lana, Dana Brooke, Carmella, Natalya, Naomi, and Becky Lynch, WWE has stated that women from NXT will be allowed to enter. Expect women like Kairi Sane, Nikki Cross, and the Iconic Duo to also be in this match. Now, I know the smart pick would be either Bayley or Sasha Banks. Their feud is just heating up and is the biggest story entering this match. Still, I don't expect either of them to win or should win. Their rivalry is just getting started, having one of them win this match doesn't make any sense. If they eliminated each other, it would prolong the feud, which is exactly what we need. I could also see one of the eliminating the other and the eliminated star costing the eliminator the match. So, I'm going to go ahead and pick Peyton Royce to win. She and Billie Kay have been ready for a main-roster call-up for months now and this would be a great way to introduce her.
Who should win: Peyton Royce
Who will win: Peyton Royce
Cruiserweight Championship Tournament Final
Cedric Alexander vs. Mustafa Ali
The Cruiserweight Championship was a massive success and really renewed interest in the division. I was disappointed to learn that this match would not make the main card but at least Ali and Alexander will get plenty of time. Those of you who read my power rankings know I'm a big Mustafa Ali fan and think the world of him. I would love to see him win the title, as no one can say he doesn't deserve it. But as much as I want that to happen, I don't think it will. WWE has been telling Alexander's quest to capture the title for months and it looks to culminate here. Alexander will be a great figurehead for the revamped Cruiserweight Division. I also look forward to seeing him defend his title against Buddy Murphy.
Who should win: Mustafa Ali
Who will win: Cedric Alexander
Tag Team Match- If Owens and Zayn win, they will be rehired
Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn
Many other people have predicted that McMahon will screw over Bryan and turn heel. I would absolutely hate to see that happen, as the last thing WWE needs is another heel McMahon. Assuming that doesn't happen, I think one of two things does: McMahon and Bryan win and Owens & Zayn go to Raw or Owens/Zayn win. I'm going to say Bryan and McMahon win to give the fans a nice 'Mania moment. And of course, Daniel Bryan did have one of the best WWE moments of all-time four years ago in New Orleans.
Who should win: Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon
Who will win: Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon
Mixed Tag Team Match
Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey vs. Triple H & Stephanie McMahon
This whole angle has been designed to get Stephanie over as a mainstream star. That aspect of it has failed miserably has no non-wrestling fans don't give a toss about her. Hell, even a lot of wrestling fans don't care about her. Still, it's helped Rousey get over with the WWE universe. This is a very predictable outcome: Rousey and Angle will win so all of the mainstream outlets can cover it tomorrow morning.
Who should win: Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey
Who will win: Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey
Triple Threat Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship
The Usos (c) vs. The New Day vs. The Bludgeon Brothers
First of all, it's absolutely ridiculous that this is the first time Jimmy & Jey have a match on the main roster. Hopefully, they get many more in the future. As much as I would love to see them win, I think the Bludgeon Brothers win here. They deserve the win and have been on a roll in recent weeks. Personally, I would like to see The Usos retain here and then have the Bludgeon Brothers win the titles at Backlash. The Usos are among the best tag teams in the world and have been on an absolute tear for the last 14 months or so.
Who should win: The Usos
Who will win: Bludgeon Brothers
Raw Tag Team Championship
The Bar (c) vs. Braun Strowman and TBA
Let's get one thing clear: Strowman and his mystery partner are winning the Raw tag titles. That much is clear. The only thing that's not clear is who Strowman's partner will be. There a ton of options, including Big Show, James Ellsworth, Curt Hawkins, Elias, and Samoa Joe. When this match was first announced, my pick was Hawkins. The dynamic between the two would have been absolutely hilarious. Unfortunately, Strowman threw Hawkins through a wall on Raw so I don't think that's going to happen. I think it will be Big Show (he just signed a new contract with the company) but I really hope it's James Ellsworth. We know the former jobber is in town for his match with Matt Riddle but he did leave WWE on good terms. Come on WWE, make it happen.
Who should win: Braun Strowman and James Ellsworth
Who will win: Braun Strowman and Big Show
Smackdown Women's Championship
Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Asuka
It's much too soon for Asuka's streak to come to an end. At the very least, it should last until Summerslam. This is going to be an incredible match and I look forward to seeing Asuka's crowning moment.
Who should win: Asuka
Who will win: Asuka
Raw Women's Championship
Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Nia Jax
Let's get crazy again. Yes, Nia deserves to win, especially because of the whole bullying storyline. Still, I think things go off the rail here. I predict that just as Nia has Alexa beat, Carmella runs down to the ring and cashes in to walk away as the new champion. Then, we would have a Smackdown superstar be Raw Women's Champion and have a Raw star be Smackdown Women's Champion. We could then see the two be traded. Then, I'd have Nia beat Alexa at Backlash and beat Carmella for the title at MITB.
Who should win: Carmella
Who will win: Carmella
Fatal 4-Way for the United States Championship
Randy Orton (c) vs. Bobby Roode vs. Jinder Mahal vs. Rusev
RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! RUSEV DAY! That is all.
Who should win: Rusev
Who will win: Rusev
Triple Threat for the Intercontinental Championship
The Miz (c) vs. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor
The Miz is a new father (and will probably get some time off) and Seth Rollins is rumored to be going to Smackdown soon. So, that leaves the former Prince Devitt. Having the IC title would be great for Balor and give him some much-needed momentum. Side note: this might be the best-looking match on the 'Mania card.
Who should win: Finn Balor
Who will win: Finn Balor
WWE Championship
AJ Styles (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
I cannot believe this match is actually happening. If you haven't seen their Wrestle Kingdom 10 match, it is an absolute must-see. The real question is whether or not this match will be as good. Nakamura hasn't had the easiest of times dealing with the WWE style. Still, I think pairing him with Styles means the match will at least be four stars. Either man could win here but I'm going to go with Nak. He deserves this moment and it would be a great WrestleMania moment.
Who should win: Shinsuke Nakamura
Who will win: Shinsuke Nakamura
Universal Championship
Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns
Yeah, Roman's winning. Obviously.
Who should win: Roman Reigns
Who will win: Roman Reigns
Thanks for reading everyone. Enjoy the show.
