Andre the Giant\nMemorial Battle Royal <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 6th<\/sup> annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle\nRoyal, we have some top, top competitors. Strowman, Andrade, Apollo Crews, the\nHardy Boys & Ali among others. Oh, and we also have Colin Jost &\nMichael Che of SNL. Anyways, this is pretty tough to predict. I don\u2019t think\nStrowman is going to win, nor the Hardy\u2019s and probably not Ali. Therefore, I\nthink this is between Andrade and Apollo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrade wins. This was a really tough call for me, hopefully\nI get it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buddy Murphy\n(Champion) vs Tony Nese \u2013 WWE Cruiserweight Championship <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my area of expertise, 205 Live, we see former buddies\n(excuse the pun), Buddy Murphy & Tony Nese face off after the two came to\nblows after Nese won the right to be entered into this match. I\u2019ve been\nthinking through this match and I think I know who will win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tony Nese will win and NOT become the Cruiserweight\nChampion, I think Nese will win by disqualification as a desperate Murphy tries\nto hold onto his title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WrestleMania Women\u2019s\nBattle Royal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduced last Mania, last year\u2019s winner Naomi will be\nentering hoping for a second consecutive win. Anyways, I\u2019ve narrowed down my\nlist of potential winners to Nikki Cross, Deville\/Rose, Ruby Riott or Asuka.\nI\u2019m just going to take a blind guess at what I think the next title feud will\nbe and therefore\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winner of the match is Nikki Cross. Ok, so my thinking\nbehind this is that Asuka just came off a title Reign, Riott has already feuded\nwith Ronda Rousey & Mandy Rose has already feuded with former champ Asuka.\nTherefore, it was between Sonya Deville and Nikki Cross. As Rose & Deville haven\u2019t\nbroken up (yet), I don\u2019t think its Deville\u2019s time yet. Therefore, Nikki Cross\nis the only logical winner here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Revival\n(Champions) vs Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder \u2013 RAW Tag Team Championships<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This match is not confirmed as of writing this but assuming\nthis goes ahead, I think this will be a feel-good moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winners, Hawkins & Ryder. I\u2019m not sure whether Black\n& Ricochet will stay on RAW or move to SmackDown but if they do stay on\nRAW, I think they will beat Hawkins & Ryder to become champions. If that\ndoesn\u2019t happen, the Revival can easily win the titles back on RAW. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Usos (Champions)\nvs Ricochet & Aleister Black vs The Bar vs Shinsuke Nakamura & Rusev \u2013\nSmackDown Tag Team Championships<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Announced on this past SmackDown Live, I\u2019m not sure who will\nwin this. Realistically, any of these teams can win. And as I go on with my\npredictions, I\u2019m realising just how hard this years Mania is to predict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the Usos will retain. I\u2019m really not sure on this and\nhave no reasoning at all for this choice. Any of these teams could win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bobby Lashley\n(Champion) vs \u201cThe Demon\u201d Finn Balor \u2013 Intercontinental Championship<\/strong>
\nI see just about everyone complaining about this match but I don\u2019t mind\nwatching it personally. As long as I\u2019m entertained, I\u2019m happy. With that out of\nthe way, \u201cThe Demon\u201d has been brought out for this match and you know what that\nmeans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finn Balor defeats Lashley and gains back the\nIntercontinental Championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kurt Angle vs Baron\nCorbin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Angle\u2019s \u2018farewell match\u2019, he takes on Baron Corbin, a\npersonal favourite of mine. Corbin\u2019s heel work is truly superb and he keeps\nimproving in the wing. Whether or not this will actually be Angle\u2019s last match\nwe will have to see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baron Corbin to win. The heat, I would absolutely love this.\nPlease let Corbin win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samoa Joe (Champion)\nvs Rey Mysterio \u2013 United States Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not sure about this one. What I am sure about though, is\nthat this match will be pretty darn good. I\u2019m really looking forward to Joe getting\nin Dominic\u2019s face and hurling abuse at him. Rey\u2019s getting better with age so\nI\u2019m sure he\u2019ll pull off some ridiculous moves as always. I\u2019m also hoping we can\nsee lots of sentons and yurinages from Joe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe retains. This one could go either way really. I do see\nRey & Andrade feuding over the US title but just not yet, Joe needs some\ntime to build back the prestige of the title and then we can get that feud. Or\nthey could throw Andrade into the WWE Championship picture, I\u2019m happy with\neither option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AJ Styles vs Randy\nOrton<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is going to be a good one. Styles and Orton come to\nblows after confrontations in the last few Smackdown\u2019s and I\u2019m really excited\nfor this. I\u2019m just waiting to see how absurd an RKO we\u2019re going to see. On\nSmackdown, we saw a phenomenal forearm countered into an RKO so we can cross\nthat off. I\u2019m trying to think of another ridiculous RKO\u2026 hmm, hopefully we can\nsee one in the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winner, AJ Styles. I\u2019m not sure about this one either. I\u2019m\ngiving the win to Styles but this could really go either way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bayley & Sasha Banks (Champions) vs Beth Phoenix &\nNatalya vs The IIconics vs Nia Jax & Tamina \u2013 Women\u2019s Tag Team\nChampionships<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Bayley and Sasha\u2019s second PPV defence of the titles, they\nface their toughest challenge yet. I think I can cross off Phoenix &\nNatalya and Jax & Tamina. We\u2019re left with Banks & Bayley and the\nIIconics. I absolutely love the IIconics and I\u2019ve got to support my home\ncountry ladies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winners AND NEW Women\u2019s Tag Team Champions\u2026 the IIconics!\nWishful thinking but I love these two and really hope they can pick up the\nvictory here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roman Reigns vs Drew\nMcIntyre<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m really looking forward to this. In Reigns\u2019 return to\nsingles action (I\u2019m pretty sure at least), he takes on the Scottish Psychopath,\nDrew McIntyre. This is going to be two huge big men slugging it out and I\u2019m\nreally looking forward to it. This could go one of two ways. Reigns wins and the\ncrowd gives a huge pop\u2026 or, and my preferred option, McIntyre picks up a well\ndeserved and very much needed victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drew McIntyre wins. You see, McIntyre really needs this and\nit could really propel him right into the main event. Reigns on the other hand\ncan be put back into the main event whenever. McIntyre needs this win.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shane McMahon vs The\nMiz (Falls Count Anywhere)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, I\u2019m really looking forward to this. The culmination\nof a feud which has been brewing since Fastlane, I\u2019m really intrigued to see how\nMiz does in this match. We all know that Shane has had some great street fights\nand stipulation matches but The Miz, this isn\u2019t really his forte. Miz has\nlooked really strong the last couple weeks and managed to beat SAniTy in a\n1-on-3 handicap match on Smackdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shane McMahon wins. Simply as Shane has far more experience\nin this type of match and I think that Shane will finally pick up a Mania win\nafter years of losses and close calls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Triple H vs Batista\n(No Holds Barred)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh. My. God. In what was one of the greatest feuds in\nhistory, the two former Evolution stable members in Triple H and Batista face\noff for one last time. And really, it could be one last time as Triple H\u2019s\ncareer is on the line. Batista\u2019s four word promo on Raw was absolutely incredible\nand was the perfect end to the build-up for this match. The promos and\nexchanges between these two have been absolutely amazing. I\u2019m really, really,\nreally torn on this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batista wins and as a result, Triple H\u2019s in ring career is\nover (for now at least). God, I\u2019m really looking forward to this match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brock Lesnar\n(Champion) vs Seth Rollins \u2013 Universal Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a real tough call. I\u2019m really hoping Brock can\nretain so we can see Rollins move to Smackdown and turn heel. Honestly, I\u2019m going\nto go for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brock Lesnar retains. I have seen rumours of Brock losing\nand possibly attacking someone after their match and winning the WWE\nChampionship. But those are just rumours\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe New\u201d Daniel Bryan (Champion) vs Kofi Kingston \u2013 WWE\nChampionship<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sooo hyped for this. Really looking forward to see how\nthis will turn out. Kofi is ridiculously over, just like his opponent, Daniel\nBryan was years ago at Wrestlemania XXX. This is going to be really good, a\npossible match of the night contender. Though, this match is going to leave the\nfans drained for the main event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winner, AND NEW WWE Champion, Kofi Kingston. And then he\ngets brutally assaulted by Big E after the match because we can\u2019t have nice\nthings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ronda Rousey (Raw Women\u2019s Champion) vs Charlotte Flair (Smackdown Women\u2019s Champion) vs Becky Lynch \u2013 Raw and Smackdown Women\u2019s Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first female main event in WrestleMania history sees ‘the Man’, Becky Lynch take on the established champions of Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair. I\u2019ve never wanted Lynch to win but she\u2019s probably the most likely to win and I\u2019m really sad about it. That\u2019s not my prediction though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your winner and new RAW Women\u2019s Champion, ‘The Queen’, Charlotte Flair! I\u2019m going to go for Charlotte but if Ronda wins, that\u2019s perfectly fine too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s it for my predictions, have a great WrestleMania week everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
