The "Show of Shows" is coming and we are certainly on The Road to WrestleMania. With less than a month left for the show, the anticipation is sky high with fans already excited about some of the matches that would feature on the show.

WrestleMania, for all its worth, is always a show that features some strange twists and sometimes even outright shockers. That's why sometimes it makes it fun to try to predict what could happen on the show.

Keeping that in mind let's list our own predictions for the show, we'll see later how many of them were actually correct.


#1 Seth Rollins Beats Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title

I'm not sure if we can actually call it a bold prediction now because more or less the writing is on the wall for Brock Lesnar as far as Universal Championship is concerned. WWE should have realized by now that the contract Brock Lesnar is on, making him the Universal Champion was probably the worst possible way to use him.

He's never around, which leads to next to nothing visibility for the Universal Championship. Off late it has become clear as well that he's focusing on his UFC in-ring return against Daniel Cormier which leads to him being absent before the build-up of the biggest show of the year.

There could have been a plethora of other ways and scenarios in which he could have been used. But putting the biggest gold on a part-timer is certainly a mistake. Even WWE would have realized that by now and would be looking to put the belt on Seth at WrestleMania.

#2 Daniel Bryan retains WWE Championship

Now, this is more like it. This is still what could be categorized as a bold prediction. Why? Because it's been a while since Bryan has occupied that top spot (and done an admirable job) and someone could be looked at to replace him.

This is where it gets tricky. It's highly likely that Daniel Bryan would be going up against Kofi Kingston. If it was a Randy Orton or an AJ Styles or a Samoa Joe you could have argued that yes they had a great chance of making it because these are the wrestlers who could carry the title on them, Kofi is certainly a fan favourite but in some ways its still not clear whether WWE actually has the belief in him to put him at the top of the roster. Hence the smart money says it would be Bryan retaining the title yet again

#3 Becky Lynch wins the Raw Women's title

The way this match has been gaining momentum it won't be that big a shock if we see hoardings with chants "if Becky Doesn't win, we riot". Becky Lynch has grown from strength to strength throughout last year and is arguably the hottest property on the WWE roster. It's hard to imagine that the wrestler who was part of just the pre-show at the previous WrestleMania will be main-eventing this one.

All the fans are on Becky's side right now and there haven't been that many occasions when something like this has happened. The run she enjoys right now is quite similar to the one Stone Cold Steve Austin had in his heydays.

Going into the match with rumors of Ronda Rousey taking a hiatus after WrestleMania and Charlotte playing the role of the Quintessential Heel to perfection Becky seems to be the right candidate for the title. And of course, there's this another little factor of her being a massive crowd favorite as well.

#4 Triple H defeats Batista

Ok now, this is a bold prediction for various reasons. One, why would Batista come back to the ring if all he wanted to do was take part in WrestleMania and lose a match? Two, Triple H has put a lot of people over at WrestleMania recently, be it Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns or even Daniel Bryan, why won't he do that for Batista?

The reasoning behind it? What is at stake? When Batista beat up Ric Flair he made things personal and raised the stakes to such an extent that if Triple H loses to him at WrestleMania it would leave a bad taste in the mouth of the audience as well.

And WrestleMania is notorious for trying to give the audience that feel-good factor. I feel WrestleMania won't be the end of the saga and we could be looking at an extended feud between these two maybe later in the year. But for this match, with the stakes involved, it seems that Triple H will take the win.
