Early Full Match-Card Predictions For WrestleMania 35

If you're a die-hard professional wrestling fan, then this surely has to be the most joyful time of the year for you as the Road to WrestleMania has begun. With Royal Rumble scheduled to set our screens of fire come January 27, a lot of anticipation surrounds on who might eventually walk out of Chase Field with a golden opportunity to headline the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Considering that WrestleMania 35 will be live from the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the company could be preparing some of the best match-cards in recent times with this one. Since the event is widely regarded as one of the biggest spectacles in sports entertainment, the pressure will be upon the WWE management to deliver something special, especially after the creative debacle at WrestleMania 34.

While the WWE Universe has been vocal about their opinions on the product, there's genuine gravitation during this season with many casual fans also joining in to enlighten their inner wrestling fanatic. With Vince McMahon having a legitimate chance to make history with this year's WrestleMania, could they really exceed expectations and outshine everything that brought them so much backlash? Let's find out.

Here are the Early Full Match-Card Predictions for WrestleMania 35.

#1 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

Will this year's Battle Royal be any special?

Starting the predictions with an obvious battle royal that will see multiple male superstars tossing each other to earn the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy. Considering that the match has been genuinely introduced to add a little unpredictability to the event, it would be a more idealistic notion if they eventually push the superstar that wins the entire thing.

Last year's gimmick match was pretty incredible, with Bray Wyatt telling a solid story, in the end, to help 'Woken' Matt Hardy to win the honors in New Orleans. The company could really use this opportunity to the fullest and maximize their investment in a star that the fans are still taking time to believe in.

Stars like Baron Corbin, Elias, Bobby Lashley, Kurt Angle, Dolph Ziggler, Apollo Crews and debutants like EC3 could prove solid to make this Battle Royal more star-studded. However, if I would have to give my opinion and put my money on someone who should win it all, it would be EC3 who could definitely catapult himself by using his gimmick to his maximum potential and showcasing the trophy wherever he goes.

Prediction: EC3 wins the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

#2 WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal

With last year's WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal being successful at entertaining the audience, this year's encounter could see some astonishing turns. Considering that the women's division has expanded so incredibly, there will be many female competitors wanting to grab that brass ring and impress Vince McMahon.

Superstars like Nia Jax, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Trish Stratus, Lita, Carmella, and Ember Moon could certainly give this Battle Royal the star power it deserves. Moreover, significant additions from the NXT and NXT UK roster would make things more compelling and rejuvenating for this match.

Judging by the fact how 2018 has transpired throughout, there's a legitimate chance that the company eventually puts talent in the driver seat and push Ember Moon. They genuinely had the opportunity of a lifetime when Bayley and Sasha Banks were left to settle the score before Naomi ultimately came out of nowhere and shocked the world.

Therefore, booking this match more sensibly could bring more adulation and viewers to the bout, with Ember Moon eventually dethroning someone like Nia Jax or Sasha Banks to win the entire thing.

Prediction: Ember Moon wins the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal

#3 A.O.P (C) vs. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens vs. The Revival for the Raw Tag Team Championships

Judging by how terrific this duo has been on the independent scene, it's about time that Vince McMahon understands what he has on his roster and push Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to the top. If character development is anything to take into consideration, then these two could run riot in the tag-team division before growing into more compelling main-event stars.

Both the competitors have to start from scratch and find their way back by entering MetLife Stadium as a cohesive unit and delivering the performances of their lives. Since A.O.P might enter New Jersey with the gold on their waist, these three teams could really lock horns well; producing some of the finest in-ring wrestling we have seen in the tag-team division.

I definitely believe that the fans would definitely rejoice with the idea of seeing something terrific happening with Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, and their inclusion in this division would only bring it more respect and viewers.

Prediction: Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens win the Raw Tag-Team Championships

#4 Shane McMahon and The Miz (C) vs. The New Day for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships

Will the Miz coerce Shane to see the dark side?

While a lot of the fans will be disappointed to see Shane McMahon get more spotlight on the blue brand as a professional wrestler, his recent alliance with the Miz could be something special. The A-Lister has earned a reputation of being one of the most charismatic superstars on the main roster with his personality becoming a hit among fans who genuinely like seeing heel characters.

Personally speaking, the Miz might cheat to win the SmackDown Tag-Team Championships at the Royal Rumble which would eventually coerce Shane O'Mac to continue teaming up with him. Considering that they could be entering MetLife Stadium with the gold and if they turn heel, the New Day could very well work something special with them at WrestleMania 35.

Since the Miz could share a pretty special chemistry with the New Day, this will be the match that gets the necessary spotlight and sees the light of the day in New Jersey. With Vince McMahon always putting the New Day over at such occasions, this one won't be any different, with the Miz costing his team the gold at the Show of Shows.

Prediction: The New Day wins the SmackDown Tag-Team Championship

#5 Dean Ambrose (C) vs. "The Demon King" Finn Balor for the Intercontinental Championship

There's no denying that Dean Ambrose's heel run has been one of the most disappointing acts on Monday Night Raw, with the company giving no legitimate attention to the Lunatic Fringe's character. While he is still running riot on Raw with the Intercontinental Championship, the creative team certainly needs to find a suitable opponent for him at the Show of Shows.

With tons of superstars vowing to earn a spot at WrestleMania 35, Finn Balor definitely stands a legitimate chance to enter MetLife Stadium and win the gold. Considering that this is a feud that the fans would love to see, bringing Finn as the Demon King at the Grandest Stage of Them All would really get him over with the fans.

The former NXT Champion has struggled to find his footing on Monday Night Raw and with the Irish wrestler being devoid of gold since a long, long time, this could be an ideal time for him to fight for his spot and elevate his stature on the red brand.

Prediction: 'The Demon King' Finn Balor wins the Intercontinental Championship

#6 Braun Strowman vs. Lars Sullivan w/ Bray Wyatt in a Last Man Standing Match

A match that definitely needs to happen at the Grandest Stage of Them All this year is Braun Strowman Vs. Lars Sullivan with the latter having Bray Wyatt in his corner. Considering that the Monster Among Men is highly unlikely to defeat Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble, the company could be looking to coerce Strowman in another solid feud.

With Lars Sullivan also scheduled to hit our screens soon, Vince McMahon could push Sullivan to the moon and make him lock horns with the Monster Among Men. As far as storytelling is concerned, Bray Wyatt's inclusion into this rivalry could make things more compelling and engaging on Monday Night Raw.

Introducing Sullivan as his next monster in the Wyatt Family and accusing Strowman of betraying the Wyatt's could bring some serious respect to the feud and would give fans a genuine reason to care about the feud. While I would love to see Strowman cross paths with Bray Wyatt any day, building up to that match would eventually make the Monster Among Men a busy man in 2019.

Since it would be difficult to predict who will win this gigantic encounter, I am still putting my money on Lars Sullivan with legitimate help from the entire Wyatt Family.

Prediction: Lars Sullivan wins

#7 Asuka (C) vs. Nikki Cross for the SmackDown Women's Championship

With Asuka moving back to the top of the mountain on SmackDown Live, chances are that we might really see a fantastic wrestling bout at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch's apparent plan for WrestleMania 35 involves them in a classic with Ronda Rousey in what could possibly see them in a headlining act.

Considering that the two top female competitors of the blue brand will be fighting for the Raw Women's Championship, someone else could be willing to step up and take the fight to the Empress of Tomorrow. While competitors like Carmella, Naomi, Mandy Rose, and Sonya Deville might be considered for a shot at the SmackDown Women's Championship, going with someone like Nikki Cross could make this match even more special.

Nikki possesses all the credentials in the world to go toe-to-toe with the SmackDown Women's Champion and could really carry a good match with her at the Show of Shows. Since I see this match transpiring at the MetLife Stadium this year, both these competitors have a legitimate chance of stealing the show, with Asuka eventually retaining in a very close fight.

Prediction: Asuka retains the SmackDown Women's Championship in a close fight

#8 Rusev (C) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Andrade 'Cien' Almas vs. Mustafa Ali vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Samoa Joe vs. Randy Orton in a Ladder match for the United States Championship

Will Mustafa Ali achieve the impossible?

This is a match I'm very sure could really run riot at MetLife Stadium and would possibly end up being the match that the fans remember for years to come. Considering that the blue brand is still struggling to catapult some of their biggest stars on their show, with many stars like Samoa Joe still moving around with any gold.

The United States Championship feud between Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura is bound to be an average affair but could very well present these two as solid options to enter WrestleMania 35 as the Champion. With fans yearning to see something special in New Jersey, a possible ladder match to crown the United States Champion would give all these competitors enough options to shine.

While I am a huge fan of superstars who bring a fine blend of athleticism and strength to the frame, my money would be upon someone like Mustafa Ali to steal the spotlight. Since WWE has been pushing Ali on the blue brand and propelling him to the top would make things more compelling for them in 2019.

A Ladder match is always designed in such a manner that it would make the competitors look strong and will give them enough time to tell their stories and protect themselves. With WrestleMania always presented as an event where dreams come true, fulfilling Ali's dream would be special and would make for a great WrestleMania moment.

Prediction: Mustafa Ali wins the United States Championship

#9 John Cena vs. Drew Mcintyre vs. The Undertaker

While this might really come across as a risky prediction, but this is something that is legitimately required to propel Drew Mcintyre to unimaginable heights. Despite the fact that the company thinks that Mcintyre is ready to take Monday Night Raw forward, it would be incredible if they slowly build-up him up to eventually take over.

The Scottish Terminator has already shared a chilling confrontation with John Cena and is genuinely looking to prove himself by dethroning the Cenation Leader's legacy. There's no denying that the former NXT Champion's character looks convincing, with Mcintyre constantly targeting wrestlers who have no drive and are just following a part-time schedule.

Considering that he thrives on competition, wanting to lock horns with someone legendary like the Undertaker could be a challenging affair for Mcintyre. With the Undertaker's future still unconfirmed, passing the torch to someone like Mcintyre would be substantial in elevating a career.

He could really take these two in a single match and terrorize them to eventually conquer the top spot and brutalize the entire locker room to become the biggest thing in the WWE.

Prediction: Drew Mcintyre wins

#10 Daniel Bryan vs. Shawn Michaels

Will this be the final call for Michaels?

A match that would definitely excite a lot of the WWE fans is Shawn Michael's rumored match with the WWE Champion, the 'New' Daniel Bryan. There's no denying that Daniel Bryan has become one of the most consistent performers in the entire industry, with his heel work earning him so many accolades from around the world.

While he is still holding the most coveted prize in all of sports entertainment, a possible loss at the Royal Rumble could make things clearer for Bryan as he moves towards WrestleMania 35. Challenging his idol at the Grandest Stage of Them All with all his smart heel work could make things more compelling, with a possibility of Bryan getting in a personal war with the Heartbreak Kid.

With HBK delivering in a very disappointing match at WWE Crown Jewel, many are expecting him to do the same at the Show of Shows this year. Since names like A.J. Styles and the Undertaker have been brought out multiple times, there's also a possibility of him clashing with his protege in Daniel Bryan.

While putting money on either one of them would be difficult, but pushing Shawn Michaels in this match would give enough credits to close the curtain on an incredible career.

Prediction: Shawn Michaels wins

#11 A.J. Styles (C) vs. Kenny Omega for the WWE Championship

This is probably for the first that the company might not be confirmed about the WrestleMania match-card they are going to put in order to produce a compelling show. Since the Show of Shows is highly regarded for a fine blend of wrestling and entertainment, the fans would be expecting something huge to transpire at the MetLife Stadium this year.

Vince McMahon's current involvement with A.J. Styles looks pretty engaging and could be a sign for something beautiful waiting to happen. The Phenomenal One has been coerced to unleash his real side and with Styles locking horns with Daniel Bryan, there's a genuine possibility that he would make the most of his opportunities and grab back the gold.

If Bryan is still confirmed to square off against HBK, this would company an ideal opportunity to bring Kenny Omega and make a terrific storyline for the WWE Championship. While Kenny's future is still uncertain, there's still a chance that Vince convinces him to join his billion dollar company and coerce him straight to the main event scene.

A.J. Styles Vs. Kenny Omega for the WWE Championship is everything that you want to see happen at the Grandest Stage of Them All and would be the only match that gives Omega the chance to sign for the company.

Prediction: Kenny Omega wins the WWE Championship

#12 Brock Lesnar (C) vs. Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship

In a match that could potentially be one of the most compelling on the card, The Architect, Seth Rollins would lock horns with the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar. Since this match is very likely to happen, the company could be looking to push Seth Rollins to the top of Monday Night Raw by strongly presenting him against the Beast Incarnate.

A likely prospect for Rollins will be to toss 29 other men out of the Men's Royal Rumble match to seal his ticket to the Show of Shows in New Jersey. Considering the stakes of this match, this could literally tear the house down with Rollins trying everything in his power to dethrone the Mayor of Suplex City.

The fans definitely do not want to see Brock Lesnar continue his run forward as the Universal Champion and would welcome the idea of having Rollins slay the Beast at WrestleMania. With the Game already pushing the Architect to redesign himself, winning the Royal Rumble and going on to headline the Show of Shows would be absolutely fantastic.

Prediction: Seth Rollins wins the Universal Championship

#13 Ronda Rousey (C) vs. Becky Lynch Vs. Charlotte for the Raw Women's Championship

With Vince McMahon looking to make history this year around, WWE will be hosting their First-Ever Women's WrestleMania main event in New Jersey. Since this storyline is probably the most compelling on both brands, Becky Lynch and Charlotte vowing to decimate the Rowdy One at WrestleMania would make some serious business.

The fans have acknowledged the possibility of seeing these three-run riots at the Grandest Stage of Them All, with many claiming that it would be Becky Lynch who would eventually get the last laugh. Charlotte's inclusion in the feud is understandable with the company wanting the Queen to be a part of history and deliver a solid performance alongside the two talented performers.

Considering that the Rowdy One has huge marketability, her presence would ensure that the bout and the feud gets the attention and recognition it deserves on different entertainment platforms. This has to be an unforgettable experience, with Becky Lynch eventually making the most of her opportunities and tapping Charlotte to win the Raw Women's Championship.

A finish of this sort would protect Ronda Rousey and would give something the fans desperately want to see.
