Now, Undertaker will take on John Cena, and while the match has not been officially announced, there is no way WWE would build up this contest and not have it happen during the company’s biggest PPV of the year. Roman Reigns will once again challenge champion Brock Lesnar, this time for the Universal Championship. The New Day are one of the most over acts on the roster, so a Mania win is never a bad idea. Or will it be a New Orleans celebrity like Anthony Davis or Alvin Kamara? Given that he has a limited moveset, that seems rather generous and should come home comfortably.
The annual Battle Royal is a great way to feature all of the talent that didn’t make the cut for a singles or tag match later in the card, but the victor hasn’t gone on to do much afterward, historically. The two other teams will try to take them out, but there will no doubt be something that gets in the way. Show me some love and tell me what you think.
It remains to be seen if The Rock, with whom Rousey took out Triple H in her first WrestleMania appearance in 2015, will be part of what is already a star-studded match.
A kick-off show match that may be overlooked by most fans who don’t watch 205 Live, but Alexander and Ali are frequently breathtaking in the ring, and fans should be prepared for high-flying, acrobatic bonanza. I’m going to stick with booking trends with this one and give it to the Bludgeons.
A bit like the Universal Title bout however, the 1/8 on offer for the selection does nothing to excite.
When WWE finally cleared Daniel Bryan a couple of weeks ago, the world of wrestling became ecstatic.
This whole shebang, it would appear, has prickled the non-existent hairs on Dana White’s head, because the boss of the “real” fighting company has gone on TV and potentially spoiled (or at least confirmed what fans suspected) the ending of what’ll likely be the WrestleMania main event. Following repeated cheap spots, Angle had enough, and used his authority as general manager to book Rousey’s debut match as a tag team match. Bryan & Shane McMahon are marginal favorites at -155 to defeat Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, +110 underdogs.
Just like the men, the women now have an annual WrestleMania Battle Royal (yay?).
Prediction: Rousey has to win this, right? Either way, I’m picking Braun and the mystery man.
India’s Jinder Mahal will be seen in action in a fatal four-way match, involving Randy Orton, Bobby Roode and Rusev.
Prediction: WWE isn’t promoting a Cena-‘Taker match but that doesn’t mean they won’t interact in some way.
But Jericho does not believe Undertaker will change to the American Bad Ass gimmick. Want proof? When the Undertaker had to go to the hospital for a concussion after losing to Brock Lesnar, Vince rode in the ambulance with him. “So I’m very excited for everybody to go this Sunday and a lot of my friends are excited just in terms to wrestle and the matches will be great“. In my eyes, it will be none other than a former rival of his… This massive card has had odds out for awhile, and since the global markets were opened last week, some of these matches have moved to become lopsided.
