WRESTLEMANIA 37 | Predictions

The Pinnacle of Wrestling. The Grandest Stage Of Them All is upon us! WrestleMania 37 is just hours away LIVE! from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. WrestleMania will be the first pay-per-view event in over a year with fans in attendance, since Elimination Chamber to be exact. Let's not waste any more time and go through the match card with predictions. 

Match Card - Night One - Saturday April !0th
RAW Tag Team Championship Match
New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) vs. AJ Styles & Omos
We've seen the journey of Omos begin as a security guard from RAW Underground, to forming an alliance with the "Phenomenal One" AJ Styles to now, his in-ring debut at WrestleMania, will his strength and power propel him and AJ to the tag titles? or will they be denied and fall short against Kofi & Xavier.  Predicted Winners: and NEW RAW Tag Team Champions. AJ Styles & Omos.

Braun Strowman vs. Shane McMahon - Steel Cage
Who came up with this terrible storyline? with all due respect to Braun and Shane, even with the Cage match stipulation, this is a match that is of no interest, how the crowd will react to this will be the most entertaining part to be honest. Predicted Winner: Braun Strowman.

Cesaro vs. Seth Rollins
From one uninteresting match to a potential match of the night, it's all about levels, Cesaro has been criminally under booked by the creative team, you know what else is criminal? this is only his first singles match at WrestleMania, that is unbelievable. whereas Seth is great in the ring, can not wait to watch this contest, they'll burn it down. (no pun intended) Predicted Winner: Cesaro. 

Tag Team Turmoil Match
(Winners face Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler for the Women's Tag Team Championship on Night 2)
Lana & Naomi vs. Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke vs. The Riott Squad Ruby Riott & Liv Morgan vs. Natalya & Tamina vs. Billie Kay & Carmella 
All teams, except for Billie and Carmella have had their issues and matches against the current tag team champions, after much thought, two teams are even favourites, Lana and Naomi along with the Riott Squad, the latter is the pick. Predicted Winners: Ruby Riott & Liv Morgan.

Damian Priest & Bad Bunny vs. The Miz & John Morrison
Surprisingly, this has been one of the best storylines in recent months, Bad Bunny, to his credit has been very good to watch, some celebrities in the past have been on television and haven't taken any bumps, whereas Bunny has, respect to him for that. a tag team match has always been on the cards so it's official for night one. A win for Priest and Bunny will bring more mainstream audience views for the WWE and fans of the musician, who will probably watch the product for a week or two after WM until their interest ends. Predicted Winners: Damian Priest & Bad Bunny.

WWE Championship Match 
Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
Bobby recently won the WWE title on RAW as we know, the Hurt Business appear to have broken up since then, which is a shame, will Drew capitalise on that factor by picking up the win and go on to have his "WrestleMania Moment" in front of a live crowd, which didn't happen last year because of Covid-19. the answer is probably a resounding yes. Predicted Winner: and NEW WWE Champion. Drew McIntyre. 

SmackDown Women's Championship Match 

Sasha Banks (c) vs. Bianca Belair
The build up to this has been average because of the creative team not having a clue of how to write this story, which has taken the spark away, very much looking forward to the match though, it is a deserved main event, women's wrestling deserves this spotlight. Sasha and Bianca will be cheered by the crowd, no doubt about that, very difficult outcome to call, WWE may want to send the fans home happy by crowning a new champion is the guess in all honesty. Predicted Winner: and NEW SmackDown Women's Champion. Bianca Belair.

Match Card - Night Two - Sunday April 11th
United States Championship Match

Riddle (c) vs. Sheamus
Riddle has been made to look silly on screen by talking nonsense on tv, however, his matches have been nice, he defeated Mustafa Ali on the go home episode of RAW while Sheamus was on commentary. in regards to Sunday, it may be a bad night for the bro. Predicted Winner: and NEW United States Champion. Sheamus.

Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn
It seems like these two are really going to "fight forever" this is another chapter in their historic rivalry dating back the NXT days. Logan Paul has been announced to make an appearance here, he will probably cost Zayn the match somehow. Predicted Winner: Kevin Owens. 

Intercontinental Championship Match 
Nigerian Drum Fight
 
Big E (c) vs. Apollo Crews
E and Crews also have one of the best stories in the company, the Nigerian Drum Fight is basically a no disqualification match with a fancy stipulation, it'll be interesting to see how the live crowd react to what happens in front of them on the night, they may be seeing a new champion when all is said done. Predicted Winner: and NEW Intercontinental Champion. Apollo Crews. 

Women's Tag Team Championship Match
Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Ruby Riott & Liv Morgan???
Nia and Shayna will be fresh going in this contest, they may be over confident and arrogant, Riott and Morgan will look to capitalise on that factor, will they have their WrestleMania moment on Sunday? unfortunately no. Predicted Winners: and still, Women's Tag Team Champions. Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler. 

Randy Orton vs. The Fiend
WrestleMania is the perfect place for this feud to finally end, the Fiend will want to exact revenge from TLC where Orton set him on fire, the expectation was a cinematic match, thankfully that will not happen as that match type is played out. Alexa will be the x-factor here, which will help Fiend pick up the win. Predicted Winner: The Fiend.

RAW Women's Championship Match 
Asuka (c) vs. Rhea Ripley
Asuka has been mismanaged and poorly booked by the creative team through no fault of her own, it's been a while since she last defended her championship, whereas Rhea hasn't done a single thing to warrant a title shot since arriving from NXT. It promises to be a great match for all of us watching, "The Empress of Tomorrow" needs to win this more. Predicted Winner: and still. RAW Women's Champion. Asuka.

Universal Championship Match
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Edge vs. Daniel Bryan
To quote the The Rock. Finally! we have arrived at the main event of WrestleMania 37, both challengers have come out of retirement and will look to complete the journey with a victory on Sunday night, only one can do that, I sense a scenario of Roman losing the Championship without being pinned, resulting in the man known as the ultimate opportunist, Edge spearing Daniel Bryan for the one. two, three. Predicted Winner: and NEW Universal Champion. Edge.  

WrestleMania 37 match predictions are complete, a total of fourteen matches have been announced. very much looking forward to watching a wrestling show on television with a live crowd actually in attendance, that aspect will make every superstar competing, feed off the crowd and raise their own level. 

Night One of the WrestleMania 37 Review-ish will be available tomorrow afternoon, until then, enjoy the event, if you are watching and thanks for reading.
