Wrestlemania Thoughts
The Wrestlemania card this time around doesn't really fill me with the excitement of past years, I do not like that CM Punk went from the top guy to facing the Undertaker for his streak, which unless the WWE wishes to retire the Undertaker I do not see it being broken again. As I have heard Undertaker has been booked for the European WWE Tour. The Rock and John Cena again I am not a fan of either desptie it being for the belt.
I would have gone either a Triple Threat Match with Punk involved or something similar but the WWE wanted to use the star power of the Rock that's okay they could hae used him in another role. Alberto del Rio and Jack Swagger should be a decent match but I am still trying to work out how Swagger got the title shot out of the blue with just a change of gimmick.
The lack of a Divas Title saddens me, also the lack of Miz and Barrett's title match being on the card and being a pre-show match. The 8-Person Mixed Tag Team match is a fine filler match for the Pre-Show it's not really a match I believe belongs on the card at all.
The WWE have always made great sets for their PPV's in the past, and always stepped up when it comes to Wrestlemania, and I have to say that this year they haven't disappointed. Their Wrestlemania set is amazing and it's a credit to the work that their staff put in to put it all together. For now that appears the main thing that they have gotten right for the event, Though they also have Living Color playing CM Punk's theme live so that's also a plus.
A lot of the matches seem to be lacking this time around I would have liked to have seen Dolph Ziggler given a chance to main event this event as I believe he's slowly getting over in the company they just need to re-push him which I hope they do before the next PPV so he will be able to cash this Money in the Bank in finally!
Wrestlemania Predictions
WWE Championship
Singles Match
The Rock (c) vs. John Cena
Prediction: John Cena
The only reason I am going to predict Cena is maybe Rock going away again to do more movies, and the WWE maybe turning Cena heel. It seems to me during it all he was imbetween and Vince McMahon is reportedly open to turning Cena heel. What better way than to do it on the biggest stage of them all as the new champion stealing the belt from the fans other favourite The Rock? Otherwise I think The Rock will keep it again before dropping it at the next PPV.
World Heavyweight Title
Singles Match
Alberto Del Rio (c) vs Jack Swagger (w/ Zeb Colter)
Prediction: Jack Swagger
It's strange to predict to major Title changes at the one event, but the WWE has been pushing Swagger pretty hard and it would surprise me if he was not able to claim the title at Wrestlemania, I think this will be another one of those screwjob endings which will enhance himself as a heel and make sure he gets over further with the fans as well.
Though for some it may be strange to have two major heels as major champions, but they could always keep Cena face, who knows? It's just a prediction anything can happen.
Singles Match
The Undertaker vs CM Punk
Prediction: The Undertaker
Having Punk lose on two PPV's in a row is a concern considering the momentum he has built up over the last few months as a heel, I would have had him still in the WWE Title picture and facing either Cena or both Cena and Rock. But he's facing the Undertaker and I think that the WWE has managed to be helped into making the feud as heated as possible, and if Punk does lose which I believe he will, he won't really lose the momentum.
If the Undertaker was retiring there may have been a case for the streak to be broken but since he is reportedly going to be touring Europe with the WWE, it will see the Undertaker keep his streak and go 21-0.
No Holds Barred - If Triple H loses, He retires
Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar
Prediction: Brock Lesnar
I do not see Triple H wrestling much anymore even if he was to win this match, the WWE would want to put over Lesnar since he's there now until at least the next Wrestlemania. They would also want to make him look like a legit badass, and with him and Heyman still sort of together no doubt they'd want fans seeing him as the unstoppable monster.
This is one of those matches that the WWE could send either way, for the WWE I think they should go Lesnar.
Six Man Tag Team Match
Randy Orton, Sheamus and Big Show vs. The Shield
Prediction: Randy Orton, Sheamus and Big Show
The Shield will be strong in this match I don't see them winning the match unless the Big Show turns on the other two and walks out or someone else turns. The Big Show is in between being a face and a heel and this could help The Shield if he was to join them. But I am not sure they are going to expand this stable so Orton, Sheamus and Show are going to win this match.
Singles Match
Ryback v. Mark Henry
Prediction: Ryback
Ryback is being built up to be the next big star, and I think having him lose on Wrestlemania could see all of that work die off and the WWE would make sure if they are going to make him win to not also make Mark Henry look weak, so I believe Ryback wins the match and Henry gets his revenge on him.
Singles Match
Chris Jericho v. Fandango
Prediction: Chris Jericho
Reports suggest that the only reason Fandango is on the PPV is because he has Vince McMahon's backing as he's very high on this character. It's not that entertaining really, Johnny Curtis does well to put it over but as a new comer this match may not even happen unless they magically dump the pronouncing of the name for one night.
Jericho is expected to work a few more events after Wrestlemania but it will be interesting to see how they go here, I think that Jericho wins this match.
WWE Tag Team Championships
Team Hell No (Kane and Daniel Bryan) (c) v. Dolph Ziggler and Big E. Langston (w/ AJ Lee)
Prediction: Team Hell No
With Big E already being NXT Champ, Dolph chasing the big prize I don't think the WWE is going to toss the strap on these guys so it will remain with Team Hell No. The WWE it seems has been planting the seeds for a feud between Kane and Daniel Bryan again but I think they will walk out with the titles and we could see the end of Langston and Ziggler as a partnership.
8-Person Mixed Tag Team
Tensai, Brodus Clay, Naomi and Cameron v. Rhode Scholars (Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes) and the Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki)
Prediction: Rhode Scholars
I would imagine that the team the WWE are pushing up the WWE ladder in Rhode Scholars are going to win, Brodus was pushed a little bit but that seems to be gone now. Tensai seems to be losing any of the momentum he had in Japan, and the WWE have lost all ideas for them as for the other team they will be pushed to the main event shortly I would almost bet on this.
Pre-Show
WWE Intercontinental Championship
The Miz v. Wade Barrett (C)
Prediction: Wade Barrett
No real reason as to why this is going to happen, I just figure that Barrett will be pushed a bit more with the title and The Miz should go back to main eventing as I believe he should be in the title picture.
