Probably a good time to get the predictions ball rolling for WrestleMania XXX, mainly because I was messaged predictions yesterday from a fellow lurker of the thread who wishes to remain anonymous, so here goes nothing! :P

I'll put mine first...

 

Pre-show - Fatal four-way tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship: The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) © vs. Los Matadores (Diego and Fernando) vs. The Real Americans (Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger) vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel (RybAxel)
Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational: Every single diva's in the match. I'm gonna take the predictable route and say Tamina wins, thus bringing the Shawn Michaels & Diesel comparison around full circle.
Six-man tag team match: The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) vs. Kane and The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn)
Andr? the Giant Memorial Battle Royal: Once again, I'm going the predictable route and saying Big Show wins the trophy.
For the third spot in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match: Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H - Screw any logic, I'm siding with the Yes Movement!
The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar - Definitely not making the same mistake as last year when I bet on CM Punk to beat Taker; thank ###### it was just the winnings of the free bet I placed on The Miz in the pre-show! :P
John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt
Triple Threat match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton © vs. Batista vs. Daniel Bryan or Triple H: I've seen a few people online predict that the main event actually becomes a Fatal Four Way with both HHH and Bryan in it. Sounds like a Russo-esque swerve, but hell, I wouldn't mind seeing that happen.
 
 

And now the predictions I received from the anonymous RAW General Manager member...

 

 

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) ? vs. Los Matadores (Diego and Fernando) vs. The Real Americans (Cesaro and Jack Swagger) vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel - Making them lose the tag titles after winning them just a while ago wouldn't make sense.

 

Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational (AJ Lee ?, Aksana, Alicia Fox, Brie Bella, Cameron, Emma, Eva Marie, Layla, Naomi, Natalya, Nikki Bella, Rosa Mendes,Summer Rae and Tamina Snuka) - Well, they have gone on to try to break up all the groups (Real Americans, Shield, etc.) and the Tamina/AJ is the only one they sorta did it even though Tamina defended her on RAW. I think Tamina will come out on top. Either that or Summer Rae.

 

The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) vs. Kane and The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn) - Pretty much a no brainer. Why have Kane and The Old Age Outlaws win? They don't need a push towards anything. If the Shield loses we riot its because of a disagreement and trying to push up Reigns as a solo artist and break the Shield up. This could be a possibility as well.

 

Andr? the Giant Memorial Battle Royal (Alberto Del Rio, Big E, Big Show, Brad Maddox, Brodus Clay, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Darren Young, Dolph Ziggler, Fandango, Drew McIntyre, Goldust, The Great Khali, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Justin Gabriel, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, The Miz, Rey Mysterio, Sheamus, R-Truth, Santino Marella, Sin Cara, Titus O'Neil, and Zack Ryder.) - As a tribute and for being a company man, it seems the Big Show is the obvious choice here. But Im gonna have to go with Alexander Rusev  (not in the match yet, and since there are 27 official announced, he could be added. If he isn't in the match, Ill go with Big Show) to give him a main event push. Either way, someone is getting a scoop slam and leg drop  :p (BTW, lets see if RVD comes back...)

 

John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt - Wyatt for now AFAIK as yet to lose a singles match since officially on the WWE main roster. Wyatt winning would leave him really with no "next challenge". Every little kid wants to see Cena win again and I don't think the back will want to manage more so with whats gonna happen in the main events... I think this is gonna be the show stealer because on PPV Wyatt (single) really steps his game up, win or lose.

 

The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar - Realistically? Lesnar would murder the Undertaker. No doubt about that. But a guy who comes off and on? They wont give him the streak. It did catch my ear that Undertaker actually said that the streak would one day end but.....later he let us with that death, taxes and the streak line  :laugh: This could go either way: Great or be a "UT go home, you're old" match

 

Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H - I actually would go with HHH on this one and we are talking about a guy who has had great matches with HBK, UT, etc. but due to the situation, Bryan has to win but that's not actually Bryan's fault....BTW, this might be a show stealer but I don't count on it too much.

 

Randy Orton ? vs. Batista vs. (Daniel Bryan and/or Triple H) - This has to be a tough one (and the worst thing about it is my last guess would be for Orton to retain but they could pull it off as a shocker). Bryan could win against HHH and continuing with the "power" thing, Triple H could make it a fatal four way but that's just too TNA so lets go with Bryan against Orton and Bortista. Now, if Batista is a "born again company man" he will give the title to Bryan because people probably paid only for that (Batista will get it back at Extreme Rules) but if his contract said about winning at WM (and I think Batista is a big enough ###### to do it), he will win the title. Im gonna go with Batista Believe it or not, I actually think they pull a shocker and Orton might retain before giving it to Bryan... Everyone has pretty much discarded Orton.

 

 

I feel mixed on a lot of my predictions except UT/Lesnar. So gonna be a tough one.

 

Hmm, except for the main event, pretty much identical. :P

woop! 

 


The biggest WrestleMania in history just got a whole heck of a lot bigger, now that ?Stone Cold? Steve Austin has confirmed he will be there! The WWE Hall of Famer revealed the huge news in an interview with TMZ. When pressed for what his role will be, The Texas Rattlesnake said the WWE Universe will have to tune in to WrestleMania this Sunday on WWE Network to find out

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) © vs. Los Matadores (Diego and Fernando) vs. The Real Americans (Cesaro and Jack Swagger) vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel

Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational - lol, kidding. possibly Summer Rae because Total Divas

Andr? the Giant Memorial Battle Royal - one of the three unannounced, unless the unannounced are just jobbers
The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) vs. Kane and The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn)

John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt - I think Cena will get the win considering that he hasn't really won a PPV match for a while now, and Bray has been undefeated on PPVs (?) but I hope they give this to Bray.

The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar - I haven't really been watching RAW (just reading the results) so maybe it's just me but apart from last week's Raw, from the storytelling perspective, Brock did not look like the monster that could destroy the streak.

Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H - As Hunter tries to cheat his way to a win, Punk returns and distracts HHH. Bryan wins, Punk punches HHH in the face with his engagement ring. Extreme Rules main event: CM Punk and AJ Lee vs. HHH and Steph.

Randy Orton © vs. Batista vs. Daniel Bryan - Somehow I want Batista to win. It'll be interesting to watch WM30's ending, RAW, and the reaction if it happens.

Steve Austin has been saying for a number of weeks he is going to be at Wrestlemania on his podcast, so that's not news :p

 

Speaking of his podcast, any wrestling fan owes it to themselves to listen to the 2 parter with William Regal, fascinating interview going over the mechanics of wrestling and his background as a technical wrestler.

 

I think Bray Wyatt might go over this weekend.  They are giving him such a push right now it just doesn't make sense for him to lose at Mania, it would kill off anything he had going for him.

My predictions ...

 

- The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) ? vs. Los Matadores (Diego and Fernando) vs. The Real Americans (Cesaro and Jack Swagger) vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel
 

Close call with the Real Americans. Los Matadores and Ryb-axel are cannon fodder at this point and will be there for comedy relief. It does not really make sense for the Usos to get stripped of the belts so close after winning it. I would expect the Real Americans to go splitville after that so that Cesaro is groomed to individual championship.

- Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational - 1st choice: Natalya, 2nd: A.J. Lee. Not going with  Tamina yet

- Andr? the Giant Memorial Battle Royal - Sheamus or Ziggler

Sadly Christian is going to suffer an other concussion

 

- The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) vs. Kane and The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn)

 

Looks like a no-brainer on paper but we will see.

- John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt

 

Most difficult to predict: the Wyatt family has been an excellent angle with plenty of goosebumps. The feud with Cena could be ended or continued. I am going with Bray because I think the feud with Cena can continue.

An other prediction: this is likely the match of the PPV. Cena and Bray can both pull an outstanding performance and I am expecting magic from these two.

- The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar

 

I see the streak as irrelevant: nobody can achieve what the Undertaker has done in Wrestlemania.

He is a hall of famer without any doubt and that will remain forever.

On the other hand, having Brock Lesnar stops the streak is giving a too big of a reward for Lesnar and as far as I see it, this is a honour that would be wasted.

 

Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H -

 

Hyper Shovel Time because it is what is best for business

Randy Orton ? vs. Batista vs. Triple H

 

Let's be clear, who can draw more heel heat than anyone else: it is Triple H. The WWE needs someone to hate: a Darth Vador for some Luke Skywalkers.

Absolutely not - If you listen to Steve Austins podcast it is obvious that there are a hell of a lot of people who think HHH and the McMahons have mis-managed everything for quite some time.  The whole Bryan thing has been so badly handled for so long that this is them scrabbling to save their biggest PPV of the year.

 

The general consensus is that if they don't pull it together people will be tired of it having gone on so long and will stop watching.

 

What is going on right now is WWE panicking and giving the fans what they want.  Bryan will win or people will stop watching.
