Who will come away with the titles at WrestleMania?
Who will come away with the titles at WrestleMania?

WrestleMania is a special time of the year for wrestling fans, as the most popular superstars and the biggest dream matches are all showcased at the Grandest Stage of Them All. At WrestleMania this year we will once again see WWE attempt to assemble the most extravagant match card possible, as it is well known that Vince McMahon loves to go all out when it comes to WrestleMania.

That means a grander pay-per-view set, exquisite entrances, and countless fireworks will all be present at WWE's most significant event, but if there is one thing that fans expect at WrestleMania, it's a title change.

This year the WrestleMania match card has a whole host of title matches, and with the other non-title matches on the show, we could expect WrestleMania to be the longest it has ever been this year.

But that is not a problem for wrestling fans, as the thrill of witnessing some of the most important title matches of the year is more than enough to make up for the extensive run time of the show. So, which titles could we expect to see change hands this year?


#1 WWE title

Will Daniel retain the event?

The WWE title picture is heating up to be one of the best matches at WrestleMania this year, as the journey of Kofi Kingston has engrossed fans from all over the world. But if we are honest here, the real reason fans are rooting for Kingston to become the next WWE Champion is due to the excellent heel work by Vince McMahon and Daniel Bryan.

McMahon has shown shades of his old heel persona in this programme, as his heel antics and consistent strategies to stop Kofi from reaching the main event has riled fans up in all the right areas, while Daniel Bryan has just been fantastic.

As it stands Kofi is not in the WWE Title match at WrestleMania, but we all know that he will eventually gain a spot in this match and if that doesn't happen there is no point in this narrative. While many predict that Kofi will be in this match, some are not sure if he will come away with the title, but some critics feel there will be a title change none the less.

#2 Intercontinental title

Finn could be given another push at WrestleMania

Bobby Lashley might not be everyone's favorite wrestler, Finn Balor might not be WWE's go to main-eventer, and the IC Title might not be the most prestigious belt in the WWE, but at WrestleMania, we will get Bobby Lashley vs Finn Balor for the IC Title.

This is a match that we have seen more times than we needed to, as almost every week on Raw and every other C grade pay-per-view these two are clashing over the IC Title, but at least after witnessing this contest multiple times, most wouldn't expect it to take place on a pay-per-view such as WrestleMania. And in this instance, the fans were wrong, as WWE is intent on giving us more of Lashley vs Balor.

But if this match does serve as a launching point for Finn Balor to regain his lost credibility, then WWE should go ahead with their plans, as many expect Finn Balor to bring out his alter ego at WrestleMania, so it is almost guaranteed that he will come away with the title.

#3 Raw women's title

The one thing that helped the Raw Women's Title match gain a spot in the main event of WrestleMania is the amount of star power in this match. As it involves one of the most famous combat athletes in the world, the most talented second generation wrestler in WWE today, and a rising star that is breaking boundaries - this is a match that just can't fail.

Rumor's surrounding this match has indicated that there will be a title change, and WWE is trying to book a unique finish, as they want to put the belt on Becky Lynch in an unpredictable manner.

The main takeaway from all these rumor's is that there will be a new Raw Women's Champion at the end of WrestleMania, as many have reported that Rousey will take a hiatus after the event, and the chances of Charlotte becoming champion are surprisingly low.

#4 Raw Tag Team Titles

New tag champs?

The Raw Tag Team Champions, The Revival, are currently the most underutilized team on the WWE roster. Many thought when they became the tag team champions, WWE was finally going to use them in an appropriate manner that would benefit their careers, but the opposite happened.

This once promising NXT tag team went from being the best unit in wrestling to a blundering mess on Raw, and now it seems like a new team will take their place as the top dogs on Raw.

Alistair Black and Ricochet have been impressive on Raw and SmackDown Live so far, as these two men have beaten a number of champions in such a short period it will be hard to imagine if WWE doesn't give them a spot on WrestleMania.

This week on Raw, Black and Ricochet earned an important win over The Revival which will surely grant them a title shot at WrestleMania, where many expect them to win.

#5 Universal title

Rollins could hold gold

The Universal title is the second most important title on Raw at the moment, and while it should be the most significant belt on the flagship show, WWE's mismanagement of the young title has caused it to become insignificant.

And the truth is that many fans had predicted that the programme between Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins would rectify the mistakes of the title's history, but WWE's booking of the feud has done more damage to the title than actual good.

Getting into WrestleMania, the only thing we have to look forward to is the match these two athletes will contest in, and critics have predicted that the superstar most likely to come away with the Universal Title is Seth Rollins.

Rollins beating Lesnar for the title isn't something one would expect, but with rumors indicating that Lesnar might be on a long hiatus after WrestleMania, it would be highly unlikely that WWE lets Lesnar hold the belt for another few months.
