WrestleMania is almost here and the card is set, other than whatever surprises WWE has in store for us. 8 titles are on the line this Sunday and without wasting any time, let's get straight into the final match card and the predictions. Who will have their WrestleMania moment this year?
PRE-SHOW
Buddy Murphy (C) vs Tony Nese (for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship)
Buddy Murphy defends the WWE Cruiserweight Championship on the WrestkeNabua 35 pre-show. Murphy has been dominant since winning the Cruiserweight title at WWE Super Show-Down in Australia. It's hard to see Murphy losing his title at WrestleMania.
PREDICTION: Buddy Murphy retails
Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Announced participants: Braun Strowman, Colin Jost, Michael Che, Andrade, Apollo Crews, Titus O’Neil, Tyler Breeze, Jinder Mahal, No Way Jose, Bobby Roode, Otis, Tucker, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel, Heath Slater, Rhyno, Viktor, Konnor, Ali, Shelton Benjamin, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, EC3, Chad Gable, Kalisto, Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy.
The big story going into the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale has to be the feud between the 'Monster Among Men' Braun Strowman and Michael Che and Colin Jost of SNL. There are also rumors that Rob Gronkowski could make a surprise appearance in the match. However, at this point, I'm going with Braun Strowman to win the ATGMBR.
PREDICTION: Braun Strowman
WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal
Announced participants: Asuka, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Lana, Carmella, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan, Mickie James, Zelina Vega, Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke
Who will win the second ever WrestleMania women's Battle Royale? I'm going to go with Asuka although I won't be surprised if Lacey Evans is added to the match an wins it.
PREDICTION: Asuka
Bobby Lashley (C) vs Finn Balor (for the WWE Intercontinental Championship)
Finn Balor is bringing back 'The Demon' for the first time since SummerSlam last August. Both Balor and Lashley have beaten each other for the IC title in the last couple of months and this will be a close match. However, with Balor bringing back the darker side of his persona, I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves with the IC title.
PREDICTION: Finn Balor wins
Samoa Joe (C) vs Rey Mysterio* (for the WWE United States Championship)
There's a big question mark going into this match - Rey Mysterio's ankle injury. Mysterio injured his ankle during his match against Baron Corbin earlier this week on RAW. It's a little touch-and-go for Mysterio but it still looks like he'll be fit in time.
Joe has been on a hot streak since winning the WWE United States Championship and I see him retaining at the Show of Shows.
PREDICTION: Samoa Joe retains
Sasha Banks and Bayley (C) vs The IIconics vs Beth Phoenix and Natalya vs Tamina Snuka and Nia Jax (for the WWE Women's Tag-Team Championships)
Sasha Banks and Bayley face a stiff challenge this Sunday at WrestleMania when they defend their titles in a Fatal-4-Way match. WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix has returned to take her place at Natalya's side for this match. Then there's the powerhouse team of Nia Jax and Tamina. The only team from SmackDown in this match are Billie Kay and Peyton Royce.
With this being Sasha and Bayley's first title defence, they seem likely to retain their titles.
PREDICTION: Sasha Banks and Bayley retain
Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin
The last match of Kurt Angle's career sees him face his nemesis Baron Corbin in a singles match. There have been some rumors that Corbin will be replaced by John Cena but that's more unlikely than likely.
I see Kurt Angle putting Baron Corbin over in his last match.
PREDICTION: Baron Corbin wins
The Usos (C) vs Ricochet and Aleister Black vs Sheamus and Cesaro vs Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura (for the SmackDown Tag-Team Championships)
This match was just announced on SmackDown earlier this week. The Usos defend their titles in a Fatal-4-Way match.
The Usos just signed a new contract and are one of the best tag-teams in the word and I can see them retain their titles at the Show of Shows
PREDICTION: The Usos retain
Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre
Roman Reigns returned last month after being forced to leave WWE to deal with health issues. The Shield reunited at Fastlane for Reigns first match back. At WrestleMania, Roman Reigns will be in his first singles match since his return as he faces the formidable Drew McIntyre.
PREDICTION: Roman Reigns
AJ Styles vs Randy Orton
These two SmackDown stars have never faced each other in a singles match and it's a fan many fans have been waiting for since AJ Styles first signed with WWE. I see AJ Styles winning this one.
PREDICTION: AJ Styles
Triple H vs Batista (No Holds Barred with Triple H's career on the line)
Triple H puts his career on the line when he faces 'The Animal' Batista. The feud started off well with Batista returning to attack Ric Flair. However, since then, their segments haven't worked that well.
However, we're sure the match itself won't disappoint. Since Triple H's career is on the line, we think he's more likely to win.
PREDICTION: Triple H
The Miz vs Shane McMahon (Falls Count Anywhere)
Shane McMahon turned on his 'co-bestie' The Miz, at WWE Fastlane, and has done brilliantly as a heel since then. Shane put Miz in a handicap falls count anywhere match on SmackDown earlier this week but The Miz somehow overcame the odds.
Miz vs Shane at WrestleMania will also be a false count anywhere and we're pretty confident that The Miz will pick up the win.
PREDICTION: The Miz wins
Daniel Bryan (C) vs Kofi Kingston (for the WWE Championship)
WWE has done a brilliant job with this storyline in the run-up to WrestleMania. Vince McMahon did an amazing job as the heel authority figure, repeatedly trying to screw Kofi Kingston and calling him a "B+ player".
Kingston goes into WrestleMania with the fans behind him and it's to count against him.
PREDICTION: Kofi Kingston wins
Brock Lesnar (C) vs Seth Rollins (for the WWE Universal Championship)
Brock Lesnar defends the WWE Universal Championship against the winner of the 2019 men's Royal Rumble, Seth Rollins. Rollins was the early favourite heading into this match but it now looks like it may be Brock Lesnar who will leave with the Universal title still strapped around his shoulder. I won't be surprised if WWE decided that Lesnar will retain.
PREDICTION: Brock Lesnar wins
Ronda Rousey (C) vs Charlotte Flair (C) vs Becky Lynch (WINNER TAKES ALL)
WrestleMania 35 will see Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair make history as the first women to ever headline the Show of Shows. WWE have done good ob for most of this storyline, which sort of began as early as the RAW before Survivor Series when Becky Lynch and the rest of the SmackDown women invaded RAW. If Lynch wasn't injured that night, she may not have been a part of this match.
WWE did a fantastic job hyping up this match on the go-home episode of RAW earlier this week. All three women had to be arrested and handcuffed after their brawl got out of control. All three women kept fighting even after they were handcuffed and later had to be separated and driven away.
Who will leave with both the RAW and SD Women's Championships at the Show of Shows? It will be Becky Lynch if you ask me.
PREDICTION: Becky Lynch
