AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho
AJ Styles has a 2-1 advantage over Chris Jericho so far so logic would say Jericho would even up the score with a win here at Wrestlemania 32. However, Chris Jericho is on his way out and is already just a part timer and AJ Styles is the future of the WWE. I’ve got AJ Styles improving his WWE PPV record (in singles matches) to 2-0.
The Pick: AJ Styles
The Total Divas vs. B.A.D. & Blonde
I have no clue why this match is happening other than just getting everybody on the card. This is probably Brie Bella’s last match (at least for the forseeable future) and it is Lana’s first match so those almost like cancel out. When Eva Marie came out last week they teased some tension. I see Eva turning on her partners, giving BAD and Blonde the win.
The Pick: B.A.D. & Blonde
The Usos vs. The Dudley Boyz
I have no idea where they are going with this match. On the one hand, the Dudley’s recently turned heel and it would be nice to give them a big pay-per-view win in this recent run. On the other hand it’s Wrestlemania, and the babyfaces almost always win. Expect The Usos to get the dub here and maybe celebrate with Reigns at the end of the night.
The Pick: The Usos
The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
There haven’t been that many interesting entrants in this year’s Battle Royal. The current entrant list is: Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, Big Show, Kane, Tyler Breeze, Mark Henry, Jack Swagger, Fandango, Damien Sandow, Darren Young, Konnor, Viktor, Goldust, and R-Truth. The Wyatt Family don’t have anything else going so I think they will enter in here and help Bray Wyatt to a victory.
The Pick: Bray Wyatt
The League of Nations vs. The New Day
The New Day better not lose this match. The New Day (Big E & Kofi) beat The League of Nations (Barrett & Sheamus) at WWE Roadblock. The following night on Raw The New Day (Big E & Xavier Woods) defeated the League of Nations (Rusev & Del Rio) There is no reason The New Day should lose here just because the titles aren’t on the line this time.
The Pick: The New Day
United States Championship Match: Kalisto (c) vs. Ryback
The United States Championship has fallen so far, just a year ago John Cena’s US Title Open Challenge was absolutely fantastic. Now it’s delegated to the Wrestlemania preshow. This match has no story but it should be all right. These two had a match in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament on Smackdown in November that was surprisingly good. I guess Kalisto retains.
The Pick: Kalisto
Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match: Kevin Owens (c) vs. Sami Zayn vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Sin Cara vs. Zack Ryder vs. The Miz vs. Stardust
Ok, let’s be honest here. Ziggler isn’t going to win (he lost to Owens last month at Fast Lane) Sin Cara isn’t going to win (he hasn’t won a televised singles match since Feburary 2015) Zack Ryder isn’t going to win (he’s mostly just on NXT) The Miz and Stardust aren’t going to win (If a heel was going to win it would be Owens) The only remaining contenders are Zayn and Owens. Zayn just joined the main roster so the best bet is Kevin Owens.
The Pick: Kevin Owens
Divas Championship Triple Threat: Charlotte (c) vs. Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch
This is a contender for what could be match of the night. Becky Lynch seems to be there just to take the fall and Charlotte has held the championship for forever. I think it’s time. The “We Want Sahsa!” chants have been building, it’s time for the boss to become the champion (Hopefully they debut a new Women’s Title on Raw and get rid of the Butterfly Belt)
The Pick: Sasha Banks
No Holds Barred Street Fight: Brock Lesnar vs. Dean Ambrose
Well, we’ve got nothing left but the three main events. This match should be another contender for Match of the Night should it be given enough time and enough extreme. As for the winner, Brock Lesnar has bested Dean Ambrose almost every single time they’ve fought leading up to Wrestlemania, so by WWE logic Ambrose will win here.
The Pick: Dean Ambrose
Hell in a Cell Match: Shane McMahon vs. The Undertaker
If Shane McMahon wins he gets control of WWE’s flagship program, Monday Night RAW, and the Undertaker can never wrestle at Wrestlemania again. If the Undertaker wins…. nothing happens. So obviously to progress the story Shane McMahon wins. On the other hand having The Undertaker lose at Wrestlemania in Hell In A Cell to a part-timer seems far fetched. Maybe Shane gets some help from a certain Bálor Club…
The Pick: Shane McMahon
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match: Triple H (c) vs. Roman Reigns
We all know exactly how this match is going to go. Superman punch. Spear. Pin. Win. Confetti. And a whole lot of boos. Roman Reigns is going to win this match and no one in the crowd is going to be happy about it. The best hope is after Reigns wins the Rock comes out and BOOM! Roman Reigns turns heel, sending the crows home happy.
The Pick: Roman Reigns
