The showcase of the immortals is upon us. WrestleMania 41 is right here, with a two-night spectacular from Las Vegas that takes all of WWE’s greatest storylines from the final yr and brings them to a detailed of their huge stadium present.
As a substitute of predicting the winners from every match we’re diving into the largest story parts of the present and different weirdness which may impression the WWE. Listed below are our predictions for WrestleMania 41.
John Cena will win the WWE Common Championship
A yr in the past Cody Rhodes “completed the story,” and hoo buddy has the final yr felt like this story has been accomplished. Via no fault of Cody, his run as WWE Common Champion has been probably the most boring, inconsequential runs in current reminiscence.
A lot of that has been because of the inventive path, or lack thereof. Nonetheless, Cody’s run was given relevancy once more by John Cena’s heel flip. Six months in the past the thought of one other Cena run was ridiculous, however now it looks like a much-needed pivot to place Cody again on the chase (the place he’s significantly better), and ultimately result in Cena vs. Reigns for the title.
That is going to be the present Logan Paul is cemented as a contender
I don’t take care of Logan Paul personally. I’m unsure anybody over the age of 15 does. That stated, he’s a significantly better wrestler than he has any proper to be — and WWE appears him as a crucial a part of their push to be as mainstream as potential.
Placing Paul towards A.J. Kinds is designed to legitimize Logan as a reputable major occasion man — even when it’s an undercard match. I absolutely count on Logan to win, after which work in the direction of being a potential World Championship man. It’s simply the way in which WWE is now.
Seth Rollins aligns with The Rock and Paul Heyman after beating CM Punk and Roman Reigns
In essentially the most excessive profile non-title match on the cardboard, Seth Rollins, CM Punk and Roman Reigns face off in a decades-long feud that’s constructed on essentially the most hatin-ass story of all time. However what actually stands out to me is within the final promo earlier than the match, the place Rollins stated he was attempting to guard the enterprise and “do what’s greatest for enterprise” earlier than hitting Roman Reigns within the again with a chair (SHIELD CALLBACK BABY). It scares me somewhat bit that Rollins was the final one standing earlier than Wrestlemania, as these individuals have a tendency to not win on the greatest present of the yr. Nonetheless, I feel it makes an excessive amount of sense for Rollins to beat Punk and Reigns, taking Paul Heyman with him as his “favor” and aligning himself with The Rock to be his eventual champion.
Iyo Sky/Rhea Ripley/Bianca Belair is a Match of the Yr contender
To say I’ve excessive hopes for this match can be an understatement. Three of the perfect wrestlers on this planet no matter gender squaring off to see who turns into the face of the ladies’s division. We’ve seen the magic they’ll work once they wrestle every other–Bianca and Rhea have been circling one another on the primary roster because the model cut up occurred, and now that these two are lastly colliding on the Wrestlemania stage it feels vital. Nonetheless, I feel Iyo nonetheless is underrated on this. Your entire story has been about Rhea and Bianca having their very own points each with one another and round them, overlooking Sky, who’s the champion at the moment. I feel there’s a extremely good probability Sky comes out of this because the winner.
We’re going to see quite a lot of UFC crossover promotion
This looks like a fairly protected guess, however up up to now TKO Endeavor hasn’t actually leaned too far into cross promotion between their two large fight manufacturers. That can change with Mania being in Vegas, the place the vast majority of UFC fighters practice, and the place the UFC is headquartered.
I count on we’ll see Dana White in attendance, plenty of cutaways to MMA fighters, and doubtlessly even some involvement with CM Punk already teasing doubtlessly dealing with Seth Rollins in a octagon.
President Trump can be at WrestleMania
This one looks like a foregone conclusion. At this level WWE, UFC, and the federal authorities are all so intertwined it’s a bizarre insidious household. Linda McMahon, the matriarch of the corporate is the secretary of training. The Rock is deeply tied to the Republican celebration, and Trump has appeared as UFC occasions earlier than.
Since every thing within the nation goes so nicely and there are completely no issues proper now, count on the President to look at wrestling.
