WrestleMania 38 | Stupendous Predictions

WrestleMania 38 will be taking place in Dallas, Texas, with a sold out crowd in attendance, let's not waste any more time and predict the match winners for the two night extravaganza. Here we go!

Night One Match Card
New Day (King Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston) vs. Sheamus & Ridge Holland

We have seen these two teams battle on SmackDown, they will write the latest chapter of their feud at the Grandest Stage of Them All. New Day are an established team, whereas their opponents need the win more, so they are not seen as a makeshift team, that has been put together just to be on the show lineup. Predicted Winners? Sheamus & Ridge Holland. 

SmackDown Women's Championship Match
Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Ronda Rousey
Ronda returned to WWE at the Rumble, won the match to earn a championship opportunity against Charlotte, who says she is the opportunity, there's the connection for you, the build up hasn't really caught fire in all honesty and respectfully.
Predicted Winner? and NEW SmackDown Women's Champion. Ronda Rousey.

Drew McIntyre vs. Happy Corbin
At the risk of sounding repetitive when talking about this match, there isn't really much to add to what has already been said in terms of how this story (including Madcap Moss)  has unfolded thus far, with all due respect to the guys here, it is about time they move on to different opposition, or be involved in the main title picture at least. Predicted Winner? Drew McIntyre.

Rey & Dominik Mysterio vs. The Miz & Logan Paul
The father and son duo team up to take on Miz and Logan Paul, this is the second consecutive year Miz will be competing in a match involving a celebrity, last year being against Bad Bunny of course, there is a sense Dominik could turn against Rey, resulting in a loss, however, they are my pick to win and save the split for Monday Night RAW or for a later date. Predicted Winners? Rey and Dominik Mysterio.

Seth Rollins vs. ?
Seth Rollins has set his sights on competing at WrestleMania, he has been losing on RAW lately, beginning to show frustration, that has all changed after he talked to Vince McMahon earlier this week, we all know the conversation that took place, the segment is on WWE's YouTube Channel if you haven't seen it, or if you want to watch it again, former WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes is a name which has been touted for a return and face Seth, will that scenario happen? or will someone else be revealed, the clock is ticking, the wait is almost over.

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match

The Usos (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura & Rick Boogs
Jimmy and Jey will put their titles on the line against Nakamura and Boogs, expect to see their reign continue. Predicted Winners? and still SmackDown Tag Team Champions. The Usos.

RAW Women's Championship Match
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Bianca Belair
This particular story has gone from the SmackDown Women's Championship to the Raw Women's Championship, we know the events which occured at SummerSlam, that has bought the two competitors to where we are today, it has been a while since Becky was without a title, Bianca will be looking to avenge the loss from August and have her own WrESTleMania moment. Predicted Winner? and NEW RAW Women's Champion. Bianca Belair.

The Kevin Owens Show - with special guest Stone Cold Steve Austin
It has been suggested this segment will be the main event of Night One, credit to KO for creating so much anticipation, it will be a great moment when the glass shatters and Austin walks out to an amazing reaction, will this lead to an impromptu match? we shall see. 

Night Two Match Card

Omos vs. Bobby Lashley
Omos faces an almighty task against the returning Bobby Lashley, who had been out of action since Elimination Chamber due to a possible injury, the giant has not lost a singles match, until now. Predicted Winner? Bobby Lashley.

RAW Tag Team Championship Match
RK-Bro vs. Street Profits vs. Chad Gable & Otis

Going in to this triple threat, Orton and Riddle are so popular with the crowd, the Street Profits have been showing heel-like attitudes as of late, whether it will be long term plan or just for this match, we do not know, Gable and Otis are outstanding also. Predicted Winners? and NEW RAW Tag Team Champions. Street Profits.

Edge vs. AJ Styles

Edge has been fantastic with his recent promos, including his new music, entrance and attitude, AJ is phenomenal as we know, a candidate for match of the night, if not the weekend. Predicted Winner? AJ Styles. 

Pat McAfee vs. Austin Theory
The last time we saw Pat compete in the ring was against Adam Cole in NXT, which was an excellent match by the way. Theory has been on the rise and will look to continue his momentum with a win with Vince McMahon in his corner, unfortunately he will not be successful in doing so.
Predicted Winner? Pat McAfee.

Anything Goes Match
Johnny Knoxville vs. Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn has had issues with J.K since the Rumble, where he was thrown over the top rope,  J.K also cost Zayn his Intercontinental Championship against Ricochet, expect to see some of the Jackass crew make an appearance and help their friend pick up the win. Predicted Winner? Johnny Knoxville.

Women's Tag Team Championship Match
Queen Zelina & Carmella (c) vs. Sasha Banks & Naomi vs. Rhea Ripley & Liv Morgan vs.
Natalya & Shayna Baszler.

This one is difficult to call to be honest with you, the champions face tough competition from Rhea and Liv, who are gelling quite well as a team and Naomi and Sasha who will attempt to put some glow on Sunday Night and putting an end to The Boss's winless run at this prestigious event. Predicted Winner? and NEW Women's Tag Team Champions. Sasha Banks and Naomi.

Winner Take All - Title Unification Match
Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns (c)

Billed as the biggest main event in WrestleMania history, we have seen this match time and time again, including the iconic moment of Seth Rollins cashing in at 'Mania 31, Brock and Roman have been excellent in the build up in terms of promo's and confrontations, the roles have been reversed also, in my opinion, this story brings memories of Rock vs. Austin, in terms of the winner? the choice has been made, it is time to acknowledge. Predicted Winner? Roman Reigns.

Here is an additional prediction for you, when Roman is celebrating his victory, The Rock's music will hit, the crowd will go crazy, Rock and Roman will tease a match for next year's WrestleMania, bringing the show to a close, giving us fans something to talk about on social media and here on the blog.
