I went 6 – 1 for night one predictions. The match I got wrong was Jade Cargill vs Naomi. I can’t believe I missed that layup.
Sin City Street Fight
Damian Priest vs Drew McIntyre
Damian and Drew both had a pretty good year. It’s them, so you know they’re going to beat the shit out of each other. I believe Seth Rollins and/or Paul Heyman are going to help Drew McIntyre win this.
Winner: Drew McIntyre
AJ Styles vs Logan Paul
I’m thinking this has to be a Logan Paul win right? Right? This could steal the show. I mean it’s AJ Styles and Logan Paul. AJ’s twenty plus year career speaks for itself but Logan always seems to impress me when he has a match.
Winner: Logan Paul
Randy Orton vs ???
Nick Aldis, Jeff Hardy, Uncle Howdy, Shane McMahon, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Solo Sikoa are rumored to answer the open challenge. I want to see Randy face Nick Aldis. Randy wins with help from Drew McIntyre. They take out Aldis after the match. They put him on the shelf and somehow Paul Heyman is made the general manager of SmackDown.
Winner: Randy Orton (regardless of who his opponent is)
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship
Lyra Valkyria and ??? vs Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
We’re getting two mystery wrestlers on WrestleMania! Rumor has it her new partner is going to be Becky Lynch. That’s the rumor online but that’s quickly what I thought once I found out about Bayley getting taken out. If it is Becky, then I believe her and Lyra will be winning. Morgan beat Becky for the Women’s Championship before she went on hiatus so it would make sense. It could end up being anyone though.
Winner: Lyra Valkyria and ???
WWE Intercontinental Championship
Dominik Mysterio vs Finn Balor vs Penta vs Bron Breakker
I’m fairly confident in saying either Dominik or Finn is going to win. I’m just not sure which one it’s going to be. I’d be very surprised if Breakker retained. Bron drops the title and moves up the card. Balor wins, Dominik and Penta both chase him to SummerSlam.
Winner: Finn Balor
Women’s World Championship
Bianca Belair vs Rhea Ripley vs Iyo Sky
An argument can be made for any of the three to win. Bianca is undefeated at WrestleMania. Ripley has been on top of the women’s division for quite a while now, her popularity is still going strong. Iyo has been overlooked for a large part of the buildup. It is anyone’s night. Personally, I want to see Bianca keep the streak. Ripley could win by pinning Iyo. Bianca could still claim to never have been pinned at WrestleMania. I’d rather see the streak continue without the technicality.
Winner: Bianca Belair
Undisputed WWE Championship
John Cena vs Cody Rhodes
Cena has to win. He has to. You can’t have him do a Hulk Hogan level heel turn and then lose in his first match. He’s getting number 17 with help from his new Corporation/Authority/nWo type stable. The stable will consist of Cena, Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, and Drew McIntyre. Paul Heyman and The Rock will call the shots. This new stable will keep Cena protected for the rest of the year. He will then lose the title back to Cody in his farewell match. It also gives Cody three top level talents to keep him busy in route to regaining the title. I believe that’s the best play here.
Winner: John Cena
