WWE could be planning some incredible surprises for WrestleMania

Finally, WrestleMania 37 takes place in a matter of hours, and once again, the show will span the whole weekend with a stacked two-night card.

There are just seven matches officially announced for tonight's show, with several segments also expected to take place which could include surprise returns and debuts.

History is always made at WrestleMania, and even though this year's card has been changed several times, WWE has put together a fantastic show which will give fans the escapism they need this weekend.

Of course, for the first time in more than a year, the WWE Universe will be back in full voice for tonight's show. So expect the company to pull out all of the stops to ensure that this year's WrestleMania makes a significant entry in the history books.

Ahead of night one, here are some of the biggest predictions for the show.


#8. Bad Bunny shocks the WWE Universe and The Miz at WrestleMania

Bad Bunny has reportedly been training for his debut at WrestleMania for a few months and will step into the ring for the first time in a tag team match alongside Damian Priest.

The rapper has had some issues with John Morrison and The Miz since his first appearance at the Royal Rumble, and tonight, all four men will settle their business inside the ring.

Bad Bunny has pushed this year's WrestleMania further forward than the company could have hoped for, and it's clear that he wants to make an impression tonight. The Miz has done the job at WrestleMania before, so Bad Bunny and Damian Priest will likely win tonight. Additionally, the Puerto Rican rapper could even be the one to secure the pin.


#7. Tamina and Natalya move on to challenge for the Women's Tag Team Championships on night two of WrestleMania

This week on SmackDown, Tamina made her way to the ring with a newly focused attitude that almost secured her a victory over Nia Jax. The former 24/7 Champion only came up short when Shayna Baszler interfered and caused the disqualification, but it was clear that Tamina could have won the match fairly.

Tonight's show will see Tamina and Natalya take on The Riott Squad, Lana and Naomi, Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke, as well as the recently added team of Carmella and Billie Kay.

The winning team will challenge the Women's Tag Team Champions on night two of WrestleMania, and at present, it seems like Natalya and Tamina could end up being those contenders.

#6. Cesaro defeats Seth Rollins at WrestleMania

Cesaro and Seth Rollins will finally have the chance to settle their differences when they collide during tonight's WrestleMania.

Both men have already had stand-out WrestleMania moments, with Rollins cashing in his Money in the Bank contract back in 2015, while Cesaro is a former Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner.

This match has the ability to steal the show and Seth Rollins will likely break the record for the number of times a WWE star has been swung by Cesaro, given the buildup to the match.

That being said, Cesaro has been pushed throughout this feud and deserves a singles victory at WrestleMania. It's unclear if this feud will come to an end following this match, but a win for Cesaro seems to make the most sense.


#5. The New Day retain their RAW Tag Team Championships - Styles and Omos implode

Bad Bunny isn't the only WWE star who will be making his in-ring debut tonight at WrestleMania, as Omos will step into the ring to partner up with AJ Styles.

Styles and Omos will challenge Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods for the RAW Tag Team Championships, but much of the buildup to this match has surrounded the fact that Styles and Omos are not much of a team.

If AJ Styles is pinned to lose the match tonight at WrestleMania, will Omos walk out on his mentor, being in a position where The Phenomenal One's presence will only drag him down?

Could WrestleMania night one set up the implosion of Styles and Omos' recent partnership?

#4. Dabba-Kato helps Shane McMahon to win over Braun Strowman at WrestleMania

Braun Strowman chose the steel cage stipulation for his WrestleMania match against Shane McMahon in order to keep Jaxson Ryker and Elias out of the equation.

McMahon isn't someone who will just take the beating and allow Strowman the fair match he deserves after weeks of attacks and insults. Instead, the former SmackDown commissioner likely has a plan up his sleeve, and that could be bringing his own beast to the table.

Dabba-Kato and Braun Strowman have crossed paths as part of RAW Underground, but not in a WWE ring. Tonight, McMahon could allow Kato to enter the cage and send a message to Strowman.


#3. Bianca Belair becomes the new SmackDown Women's Champion

It's been an incredible year for Bianca Belair after she appeared on WrestleMania in an empty Performance Center last year. The EST of WWE will now main event WrestleMania alongside Sasha Banks tonight, and she will likely walk out with the SmackDown Women's Championship.

Banks has reigned in her division for a number of months and has shown that she's The Boss on SmackDown. But Belair brings something new to the equation and deserves to win her first championship gold in WWE as part of the WrestleMania main event.

#2. Becky Lynch makes her WWE return on WrestleMania 37: Night One

Becky Lynch has already teased that she could be part of tonight's WrestleMania on her Instagram page. The Man could reportedly be part of a talk show segment with Bayley, where she might arrive in a truck that was specially made for last year's WrestleMania.

The Man is definitely a fan of making an entrance, and after almost a year on the sidelines, the WWE Universe will welcome Becky Lynch back with open arms.

The former Women's Champion made history at WrestleMania a few years ago when she became a dual champion in the first-ever women's WrestleMania main event. Lynch will likely want to be at the Raymond James Stadium to see Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks have their moment in the spotlight.

The return of a large live crowd to tonight's show means that WWE will plan many surprises for fans, and Becky Lynch's return could steal the show and set the tone for the weekend.

#1. Drew McIntyre will become a three-time WWE Champion at WrestleMania 37

Drew McIntyre won his first WWE Championship last year at WrestleMania. when he was able to overcome the threat of Brock Lesnar. This year will be very different as McIntyre looks to reclaim his title in the opening bout of the night.

With the women main eventing the show, the men will set the tone for the weekend when Bobby Lashley defends his WWE Championship in the first match of the night.

McIntyre was denied the moment he deserved in front of the live crowd last year since the COVID-19 pandemic meant that his title win came in front of an empty arena. It's believed that the reason this match is first on the card, much like Seth Rollins taking on Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35, is that McIntyre is expected to defeat Lashley and win his third WWE Championship.

It's unclear if any outside party will play a role in this outcome. But after being booked so strongly over the past few months, it will be interesting to see how WWE will carry out Lashley's title loss.
