Wrestlemania 35 predictions
Andre the Giant battle royal winner: Braun Strowman
Won’t lie to you, don’t actually know who is in this match. Braun is easily the highest profile name in this match and definitely deserves to win it especially after the way he has been treated as of late. Go Braun.
Woman’s battle royal winner: Asuka
Again just Asuka because she deserves to win it. She dropped her belt a couple of weeks ago and was essentially screwed out of her own title match so surely, she should be rewarded with the win here. Go Asuka.
The Revival vs Hawkins and Ryder for the Raw tag team titles (yet to be announced but will definitely be happening) Winner: Hawkins and Ryder
This is really just so that Hawkins can get his first win at Wrestlemania. Like cool, long term culmination but I don’t care, there has been no build. The Revival deserve better than a match with two low profile wrestlers in my opinion but is what it is.
Buddy Murphy vs Tony Nese for the Cruiserweight championship, Winner: Tony Nese
This match will be really good and I am really looking forward to it. I think it is Nese’s time and he should have a decent run with belt because he’s a very gifted performer and deserves a title run. Murphy has had a really memorable reign as champion but it is time for him to move on, maybe to pastures new (Raw or Smackdown).
Finn Balor vs Bobby Lashley for the Intercontinental Championship, Winner: Finn Balor
Finn is coming to this match as the Demon. The Demon has never lost a match in the WWE. So I expect Finn to make short work of Lashley and walk out with the gold again. Hopefully this will be the last we see of the dire feud because it is genuinely terrible. Aren’t they feuding because Bobby is big and Finn apparently cannot beat big people even though he has beat countless big men?
Samoa Joe vs Rey Mysterio for the United States championship, Winner: Rey Mysterio
It has obviously been announced that Rey is injured and he might not make Mania . I do think if he is there though, he will share a great moment with his gigantic son and will leave Mania the US champ. Again, not much I can say about this because I don’t really care to be honest, the whole US division is a bit of a clusterf***.
Ricochet and Aleister Black vs The Usos vs The Bar vs Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev for the Smackdown tag team titles, Winner: The Usos
The Usos are 100% retaining in my opinion, there is no way that they should lose the belts. Rico and Black are doing the business on Raw and have things to deal with, Nak and Rusev just won’t be a fun reign and The Bar we have seen countless times. The thing about keeping them on the Usos is that they keep the belts relevant because they are so good.
The Iconics vs Divas of Doom vs Boss’N’Hug connection vs Nia Jax and Tamina for the Women’s tag team titles, Winners: The Iconics
I think the Iconics deserve this moment and they might actually make the belts interesting because Sasha and Bayley are two of the most boring people on the roster, I want to see them feuding not teaming. The Divas of Doom shouldn’t win but they might do and Nia and Tamina will kill the belts because they are, MARK MY WORDS, the two worst performers in the WWE. They are genuinely dreadful. I hate them. So yeah, Iconics win please, sound Vince.
Extra Prediction: I think around this time of the night, John Cena will come out to interrupt Elias. He will lay Elias out with an AA, then Lars Sullivan will debut attacking Cena and hitting him with Freak Accident, then at SummerSlam, we get your boy big match John vs Lars. Fantasy booking.
Randy Orton vs AJ Styles, Winner: Randy Orton
Randell Keith needs the win. I think this feud may lead to a career revitalization of sorts for my boy Randy. A spark has been flamed and he looks like he cares again which is very pleasant to see. AJ doesn’t need this win really. He can still go and win the WWE title the next Smackdown and people won’t question it because he is AJ Styles. Randy Orton win via very cool RKO.
The Miz vs Shane McMahon, Winner: The Miz
The Miz is obviously going to get this win to finally make daddy Mizanin proud. Not gonna lie here, I was kind of holding out for a Mizanins vs McMahons tag match but obviously not. Miz also needs to win for my big prediction to work. That big prediction will be explained later on. Go Mike Go.
Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin, Winner: Baron Corbin
Hear me out. Corbin will benefit from the win. The man retiring should always go out on his back in my opinion. They should never win, they have to put someone over. It isn’t like this loss will kill his legacy either, he has already done that by wrestling 5 years longer than what he should of done. Put Corbin over goddammit, he’s one of the best heels in the biz. If you don’t agree then we haven’t been watching the same Corbin.
Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre, Winner: Roman Reigns
Of course Reigns is going to win his first singles match back. WWE have played this story really well. Time and time again, Drew has eviscerated Roman, leaving him lying, ready for Drew to receive his comeuppance at Mania. As much as Drew may need a big Mania win, he is still in a big match, he got given the; Roman match for crying out loud, that is huge. It will be a great match to so very excited for this.
Triple H vs Batista, Winner: Triple H
This is most definitely the last match Batista will have. It’s No DQ which is good as it means it won’t be incredibly slow. With this being Batista’s last match though, I do think he will go out on his back against one of his best enemies in Triple H.
Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship, Winner: Daniel Bryan
Hear me out once again. This is more of a personal preference here. Daniel Bryan vs The Miz, SummerSlam 2019 for the WWE championship. Full circle. It needs to happen. I’m sorry, I understand Kofi deserves a big moment and he is getting one by competing for the belt, he does not have to necessarily win it. If Kofi wins than what comes from it. Odds are that Daniel will just win it back anyway, just keep the belt on Bryan and slow build to Bryan vs Miz instead of giving us Kofi Vs Bryan one to many times. Please.
Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship, Winner: Brock Lesnar
Lesnar is keeping the belt isn’t he. Let’s just face it, he is gonna have another tepid year long reign as champion until Roman dethrones him again. This match should be really good fun but I just don’t see Rollins beating Lesnar. Like Rollins himself said Lesnar may struggle but he still always beats the little guys. I think he will do it again Sunday.
Ronda Rousey vs Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair for both the Smackdown and Raw Womens Championships, Winner: Becky Lynch
Becky is finally gonna get her moment and become the face of the women’s division and her and Charlotte will feud for another 600 years because WWE. In all seriousness, Ronda looks like she may be going on an extended hiatus after Mania, Charlotte will want to prove she is still one of the best all round talent in the company and Becky will want to prove it’s not just hype this run and that she genuinely has worked hard and deserves it. It will be a cracking main event to end what should be an OKAY Wrestlemania.
