WWE Universal Championship
Brock Lesnar (c) vs Roman Reigns
Winner: Reigns
We all know this is happening.
WWE Championship
AJ Styles (c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura
Winner: AJ Styles
Listening to Bruce Prichard's podcast he talked in a podcast about how Booker T wasn't booked to win the WHC from HHH because Vince wanted main focus to be on it being Brock's night as the new WWE Champion. I could see the same thing happening here. Vince will want all the focus on Reigns' new reign as a World Champion. We'll get a rematch where Nakamura goes over at the next PPV I think.
Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle vs Stephanie McMahon & HHH
Winners: Rousey & Angle
I want this to go the other way but it would make no sense to do so. I see this being a double tap out victory for Rousey and Stephanie. Rousey will have Steph in the arm bar and HHH will try and save her but get locked in an ankle lock and then they'll tap out at the same time.
John Cena vs The Undertaker
Winner: Undertaker
This match is going to happen. I'd laugh my ass off if it never did and this was just a massive troll but it's going to happen. It would make absolutely zero sense for Undertaker to lose after the promo's that John Cena has been giving. You're not allowed to say the Undertaker has no balls and then beat him at WrestleMania. Story wise, it makes no sense.
Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn
Winners: Bryan & Shane
This one is a little tougher than I thought. I mean this being Bryan's first match back I can't see him losing. Him and Shane winning would mean that Owens and Zayn get moved to RAW. Or, you know since there are no payoffs after WrestleMania they could just be right back on Smackdown much like Shane ended up an authority figure anyway after losing to Undertaker. Small part of me thinks a Bryan heel turn is possible but since he's fully cleared to compete and WWE needs good babyfaces that actually get cheered, turning Bryan here would make little sense.
Smackdown Women's Championship
Charlotte (c) vs Asuka
Winner: Asuka
Charlotte going over here would just completely suck. Asuka has to win this to keep her streak alive and for it to mean that much more when her streaks ends that it will be for the title as well. I factor this into my Styles vs Nakamura prediction too. I'm not sure Vince wants to have 2 Champions on the same brand that can't speak great English for their promo's.
RAW Women's Championship
Alexa Bliss (c) vs Nia Jax
Winner: Nia Jax
This should be a no brainer. This should be a complete squash match which sucks because Alexa is so damn good but the story dictates it. Alexa hasn't had any sort of comeuppance in a long time so Nia just squashing her in like 2 minutes tops is what this storyline dictates.
Intercontinental Championship
The Miz (c) vs Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor
Winner: Finn Balor
Who would benefit the most from this match? The answer is Finn. Vince doesn't seem to want to put him back in the Universal title picture at the moment so what better thing to have him do then give him the IC title? I know Miz is just a little bit away from being the longest reigning champion in history but given his character, he could bitch and moan about how unfair this match was til the end of times. Seth wasn't even intended to be here so I don't see a long term IC title reign for him. So that leaves Finn in full demon make up getting this victory.
United States Championship
Randy Orton (c) vs Jinder Mahal vs Bobby Roode vs Rusev
Winner: Jinder Mahal
I REALLY want it to be Rusev here but this card is very face driven with a lot of face vs face matches and in most of the faces vs heel matches the faces just make the most sense to win. So that means I've got to find a heel here and there to pull out a victory. This match is as up in the air as any so I'll go with Jinder Mahal.
Smackdown Tag Team Championships
Uso's (c) vs New Day vs Bludgeon Brothers
Winners: Bludgeon Brothers
Much like the previous match, got to find some places for a few heels to win. Also given the way they have been booked as a monster tag team I could see them going over here.
RAW Tag Team Championships
The Bar (c) vs Braun Strowman & Mystery Partner
Winners: Braun & Partner
It doesn't matter to me who his partner will end up being, I see them going over regardless. Rumors have swirled around it being Mysterio, Wyatt, Big Show, Elias. I think they have a segment planned for Elias so he's out. Mysterio is injured last I knew. Not sure they'd debut Bray's new gimmick in this scenario. So Big Show seems pretty likely since he apparently signed a new contract. Thought he was retiring after last year but he stuck around so I guess not. Somebody brought up the idea of Bobby Lashley but I'm not seeing that happening.
Cruiserweight Championship
Cedric Alexander vs Mustafa Ali
Winner: Cedric Alexander
No clue. Don't care. I pick Cedric because he appears more often on RAW than Ali does so he's got more exposure.
Men's Battle Royal
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
Hard to believe right? Ziggler getting any type of big match win? Well let's be real, this isn't a big match and everyone that has won it hasn't exactly gone on to do anything with it. From the names involved in the match Dolph is the biggest name in there. He's coming off a semi push which has been weird but Ziggler pushes and non pushes have never been consistent or made much sense. Once again, need to find a spot for a heel to win and I could see Ziggler getting this one. Why not?
Women's Battle Royal
Winner: Sasha Banks
The biggest storyline going into this match is obviously the feud between Sasha and Bayley so I see one of them winning this. To me it makes more sense for it to be Sasha winning in some sort of ruthless fashion cementing her heel turn. I could see them maybe getting each other eliminated because they can't put there differences aside and Sasha's heel turn is cemented on RAW the next night though. If that happens I'd like to see Becky win.
What does anybody else have?
