Predictions
Gunther vs. Sami Zayn
Gunther has been involved in plenty of David vs. Goliath storylines since he became the Intercontinental Champion–and Goliath won every single time. While Sami Zayn is the fan favorite here, Wrestlemania seems like the place where you expect giant upsets and title changes; however, it’s not going to happen here. Gunther will somehow come out on top–probably with help from Imperium–and Gunter’s ridiculously long reign as the IC champ will continue.
Winner: Gunther
Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes vs. The Rock and Roman Reigns
The Rock returning in his $500 shirts (probably from Dan Flashes) and teaming with his family member Roman Reigns has made for some entertaining and compelling television leading into Wrestlemania. The battle between Rock and Reigns vs. Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes has been exceptionally intense, so when the teams were announced to fight at Wrestlemania, it made sense for the conclusion of this rivalry–especially with Reigns and Rhodes fighting the next night. What it comes down to is going to be a brutal battle between two men who have/were on top for years vs. men who think they should be on top. And in the end, it will be The Rock and Roman Reigns squeaking out a win.
Winners: The Rock and Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes
Let’s move to the next night, where Roman Reigns will defend his championship against Cody Rhodes. Undoubtedly, Rhodes will be hurt and be the underdog in this match after the events of the night prior. Reigns will be cocky and have Solo by his side–and maybe The Rock will show up as well. One of two things will happen: The Rock will turn on Reigns (not as likely) or Rhodes will overcome Reigns because he thinks he has this match in the bag. Either way, this will be the match that finally ends Reigns’ reign.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
Becky Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley
After Rhea told Lynch on Raw that Becky’s child will be calling Ripley “Mami” after their match, there was a fire lit under Lynch that will for sure be in the forefront of her mind during their Wrestlemania match. Obviously, Dom will be involved in the match to protect “Mami,” especially after Lynch punched him on Raw. While Ripley doesn’t rely on the rest of her underlings in Judgment Day to interfere in her matches, they may come into play here–except for Dom. In the end, Ripley will come out on top. However, expect a different outcome when Ripley and Lynch get their rematch at Backlash.
Winner: Ripley
