Additionally, the recent addition of some new talent to the WWE roster has ignited a spark of excitement among fans, eager to see what these rising stars will bring to the table.
Finally, with the dawn of the “Triple H Era”, WWE is set to enter a new chapter in its storied history – one that promises to bring even more thrilling moments and unforgettable memories to the WWE Universe.
WrestleMania 40, Night 1 Card
-
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes and Seth “Freakin” Rollins | (Prediction / Roman Reigns & The Rock)
This might be the match that could make or break WrestleMania 40. Though I want Cody and Seth to win, I believe they will lose, staking the odds against Cody Rhodes on Night 2 of WrestleMania.
If you’re not in the know, if Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins are to lose this match then the title match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes changes from a normal match to “Bloodline Rules”. This could mean a range of things from a No Disqualification Match, Triple Threat Handicap Match, or many others.
-
Becky Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship | (Prediction / Rhea Ripley)
Though “The Man” Becky Lynch is one of my favorite WWE Women wrestles, since the dawn of “MAMI” Rhea Ripley, I have to say I have been head over heels for her character! Rhea Ripley’s in-ring presentation, move-set, and look are by far some of the best in the history of the women’s division.
I think Becky does have what it takes to challenge Rhea, but if WWE wants to continue the push of “The Judgment Day”, I think Rhea should keep the Women’s Heavyweight Championship a bit longer. Maybe next Wrestlemania we will see Mami face off against the great one Jade Cargill.
-
Gunther vs. Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship | (Prediction / Gunther)
Over the last few years, Sami Zayn has cemented himself as one of the great WWE talents. With a bright future ahead, I think there are still some great moments to come for his career. With that, Gunther has brought greatness back to the WWE Intercontinental Championship. This will be a great match for our viewing pleasure, but I feel there is not much of a heavily built story to back Sami taking this title.
-
Jey Uso vs. Jimmy Uso | (Prediction / Jey Uso)
Now this match will be one to watch! Jey and Jimmy have been beefing for some time now. Ever since Jey and Sami Zayn broke away from The Bloodline last year, rivalry has been building. Blood Vs Blood, USO Vs. USO, this will be one of the best matches of the night. I know my boy “Main Event” Jey Uso will get the W.
-
Six-pack tag team ladder match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship: Damian Priest and Finn Bálor vs. R-Truth and The Miz vs. Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano vs. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods vs. Austin Theory and Grayson Waller vs. Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate | (Prediction / Damian Priest and Finn Bálor)
I am going to make this a short and sweet prediction. Damian Priest and Finn Bálor will for sure win this make. I would be shocked if any other team took the tag titles from them.
-
Bianca Belair, Naomi, and Jade Cargill vs. Damage CTRL (Prediction / Bianca, Naomi, and Jade)
As per my understanding, it seems like the end of Damage CTRL as a group might be in sight this weekend. Having said that, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are not a great team. I believe they are better off without Bayley. With the return of Naomi, the introduction of Jade Cargill, and the exceptional EST Bianca Belair leading the team, their prospects look bright.
It’s safe to say that this match is a historic moment for female wrestling, as it features a group of amazingly talented female wrestlers on the main stage of WrestleMania, making it a momentous occasion.
-
Rey Mysterio and
Dragon LeeAndrade vs. Santos Escobar and Dominik Mysterio (Prediction / Dirty Dom and Santos Escobar w/Andrade)
The Mysterio Family Rivalry has been one of the greatest stories WWE has conjured up in years. After the amazing Mysterio Vs. Mysterio match at last year’s WrestleMania, Santos Escobar turned on Rey after the became US Champion, sparking another rivalry for Rey.
With the re-introduction of Andrade to the roster, things seem to have become a bit tougher for Rey and the LWO. Originally, Rey was meant to take on “Dirty” Dom and Santos Escobar with Dragon Lee(one of the newest LWO members) only to be taken out by Andrade. This seems to be setting up a double cross as Andrade not only just became aligned with the LWO, but The Judgment Day as well.
