WrestleMania 40 Predictions

40 yrs of WrestleMania. I feel WrestleMania will always be the must see event. And, the WrestleMania 40 card looks exciting. 

So here’s my predictions for Night 1 of WrestMania:

The Rock and Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins 

I have a feeling that Rock & Reigns will use everything they have up their sleeves to win this. Especially if it means them winning means they can choose the stipulation for the Undisputed Universal Championship Match involving Reigns & Rhodes at Night 2.

My prediction is The Rock and Roman Reigns wins. I feel it will make sense at Night 2.

Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Becky Lynch for the Women’s World Championship 

My prediction is Rhea Ripley retains the Women’s World Championship

Gunther (c) vs. Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship 

Imma shoot my shot, my prediction is Sami Zayn winning the Intercontinental Championship and I think Zayn deserves this.

Jey Uso vs. Jimmy Uso

My prediction is Jey Uso wins. Also, will we see them embrace and return as “The Usos”? Because I really feel this could possibly happen at Night 2.

Finn Bálor and Damian Priest (c) vs. Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa vs. The Miz and R-Truth vs. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods vs. Austin Theory and Grayson Waller vs. Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate in a Six-pack ladder match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship 

I’m shooting my shot again, my prediction is The Miz and R-Truth aka AWESOME TRUTH winning the Tag Team Titles. I feel this would be amazing and exciting. 

Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill and Naomi vs. Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai, Asuka, and Kairi Sane)

My prediction is Belair, Cargill and Naomi winning

Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee vs. Santos Escobar and Dominik Mysterio.

I am disappointed in the fact it isn’t just Rey vs. Dominik it would’ve been so much better. 

My prediction is Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar winning.

Night 2: 

Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits vs. Final Testament (Six-Man Tag Team Philadelphia Street Fight)

My prediction is Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits

Roman Reigns (c) vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed Universal Championship 

Altho, we will see The Bloodline interfere and try to help but will there be a stipulation added? That is my question? A No Disqualification Match would definitely be a great idea and work in favor of not only Reigns but Rhodes as well. Will we see any help for Rhodes? Brock? Stone Cold? John Cena? Or his OWN brother? Dustin comes out and saves his brother. or maybe Rikishi? What will happen? There are so many possibilities.

Again, shooting my shot here.. My prediction is Cody Rhodes wins and becomes Undisputed Universal Champion and finally finishes his story even with all the odds stacked against him he comes on top.

Seth Rollins (c) vs. Drew McIntyre for the World Heavyweight Championship 

Although, I love Rollins. I feel McIntyre deserves this opportunity to come out as the World Heavyweight Champion in front of a crowd. This also would allow Rollins to step away from wrestling for a lil bit. I am shooting my shot on McIntyre winning. Although here is another thing that is possible could Cm Punk interfere? Will Damian Priest finally cash in his MITB briefcase? I mean I really wanna see McIntyre get this opportunity. I mean could u imagine Cm Punk vs. McIntyre for the World Heavyweight Championship? I think that would be fire. Considering there feud lately. I am still bummed we didn’t get a Rollins vs Punk hopefully soon. Heck make it a triple threat id watch it. 

Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bayley for the Women’s Championship 

My prediction is Bayley winning and becoming the Women’s Champion. This is a huge moment for Bayley and I would love to see her get this big win at WrestleMania.

Logan Paul (c) vs. Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens for the United States Championship 

This one is tough, because I love both Orton and Owens. 

I am going to shoot my shot, my prediction is Kevin Owens wins and becomes United States Champion. Also, along as Paul loses I will be happy he is not a real WWE Superstar and he doesn’t even deserve a champion ahead of those who been there longer and been trying to get this opportunity only for it to go to Paul is still crazy to me. I am rooting for Owens to win, but also rooting for either Owens or Orton to win. But i think in the end it should be Owens tho. 

LA Knight vs. AJ Styles 

Why is there no stipulation? Like it would be awesome if it was a street fight or like HIAC type match. I mean they recently brawled at a media event so these matches would totally make sense. They deserved a stipulation I mean there whole feud has been intense and insane. 

 My prediction is LA Knight winning. 

Another question, if you have seen the Bray Wyatt documentary you would understand why I ask this.

Will we see a return of Uncle Howdy? Could u imagine him returning and costing LA Knight? It’s the last person Wyatt feuded with before he died so I could see this. But I could also see a return on RAW after Mania. In Wrestling anything is possible. 

I am pumped for WrestleMania 40 and the card looks and feels exciting. Can’t wait to see what happens.

The Usos (c) vs. Viking Raiders for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles

The Usos attacked Viking Raiders before the match even started & than Usos music hit and Viking Raiders just laid there after being destroyed. 

I am assuming The Usos got disqualified and Viking Raiders won via disqualification but The Usos are still CHAMPIONS.

Brock Lesnar won & is the NEW WWE Champion! 

The show ends with Brock Lesnar celebrating as the NEW WWE Champion

Great show and matches.

SmackDown

SmackDown opens with an tribute card to Road Warrior Animal.

On Sunday, the Intercontinental Championship will be on the line in a ladder match. As two different Superstars have a claim to the championship, both IC title belts will be hanging above the ring during the Clash of Champions match. Tonight, WWE is hosting both belts over the ring ahead of the match.

Sami Zayn and current IC champ Jeff Hardy are now in the ring.

Before they hang the titles up above the ring, AJ Styles has some choice words for both his opponents.

Sami informs us that this match shouldn't be happening.

Sami asks Jeff if he has any idea how dangerous a ladder match can be.

Sami starts to climb out of the ring as AJ and Jeff stand face to face, jawjacking. Sami turns around and pushes a ladder on top of both of them.

As he heads back to the ring, very pleased with himself, Adam Pierce - who I guess is in charge around here these days - tells Sami that he's now in the Styles/Hardy match scheduled for tonight.

Jeff Hardy vs. Sami Zayn vs. AJ Styles 

Sami Zayn won 

AJ comes back to the ring and hits everyone with a ladder, then climbs the ladder to pull down the two title belts.

Bayley was out with her new sidekick, the steel chair she used to "break the Boss". She sat down on the ramp on SmackDown and said that Nikki Cross made a mistake thinking she was going to be easy to beat without Sasha. Bayley let Cross know that she had a new best friend as she stared menacingly at her steel chair.

 

 

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Gran Metalik 

Shinsuke Nakamura won

After Cesaro attacks Lince Dorado while Dorado is checking on Metalik, Dorado shoves Kalisto to the mat and helps Metalik to the back. Kalisto is incredulous. 

We got a short video hyping Jey Uso and Roman Reigns Universal Championship  match at Clash of Champions. After we saw Jey knocking on Roman's locker room backstage on SmackDown. Jey didn't get an answer and headed to the ring.

Jey Uso came out on SmackDown and asked Reigns what the deal was last week with the look that he gave Uso behind his back. Paul Heyman came outside the locker room and said that Reigns will answer that face to face, in the ring, tonight.

Baron Corbin vs. Matt Riddle on SmackDown

Baron Corbin won

Alexa Bliss vs. Lacey Evans 

Alexa was having a normal match when we heard the Fiend's laughter that resulted in Alexa spacing out again and SmackDown headed for commercials. We returned to see Lacey in control but Bliss got back momentum with a dropkick.

The Fiend's creepy music came on and the lights turned red when Bliss lost it and attacked Lacey. She kept kicking her on the ground as the referee called the match due to disqualification.

Bliss took Lacey outside and hit the Sister Abigail before The Fiend appeared on the Titantron saying "let me in" and Alexa just laughed and left. As she left, Roman Reigns was making his entrance and she stared at the champion angrily.

Roman Reigns was out on SmackDown with Paul Heyman and Jey Uso came out as well. Roman said he would give Jey the title if he could but Jey wouldn't understand how to be a proper champion. He kept making underhanded insults and said the family depends on Roman as the 'tribal chief'. Roman even sneaked in a: 'it will never be you', for the added burn.

Jey got on the mic as Roman was walking out and said "What if you're wrong?". Jey was getting emotional as he said after Sunday, everyone would know who he is. Roman walked out without saying anything but he came back to hit Jey with a Superman Punch on the ramp and said that he would never take Roman's place at the 'head of the table'.

 

Rating: 80/80

RAW

 We are live on WWE RAW early on and Retribution are already here wearing masks.

They say that they are here to take what they need. 

 

Retribution says that they will make other wrestlers pay for their sins. They are the Judge, Jury, and Executioner. They are interrupted by The Hurt Business. 

 

Retribution exit the ring, but then The Hurt Business are surrounded by different members of Retribution. More than 12 members at least. This has turned into a mauling with the entire Hurt Business being taken apart by the numbers.

Randy Orton appears out of nowhere and hits McIntyre with the steel chair. He then drives the steel chair into the jaw of McIntyre.

 

Randy Orton says that the WWE audience should be ashamed of doubting whether he would be fit for Clash of Champions. 

 

He says he won't walk away from a world title match ever. He says the world title match at Clash of Champions is not a normal world title match. He gets out of the ring and walks over to the ambulance parked there.
