Wrestlemania 42 - predictions thread

[BEEG]

2 weeks from the Rumble, I think it's time to get those match card predictions in.

These are the matches I'm hoping to see.

Night 1

WH Championship - Cody vs Punk
Rollins vs Breaker
Orton vs Trick Williams
US Title Ladder Match - Melo, LA Knight, Dragunov, SZ, Oba Femi, Sikoa.
Liv Morgan vs Vaquer vs Raquel
Raw Tag Title - Usos vs Reed and Theory


Night 2

WWE Championship - Roman vs Mcintyre
Lesnar vs Paul
IC Title - Dom vs Finn
AJ vs Gunther - AJ losers he must retire
Belair vs Cargill
Womens Tag Titles - Charlotte Alexa vs Rhea/Iyo

Title matches make sense lots of history between Drew Roman and Punk Cody.

Breaker and Rollins needs to happen.

Logan Paul and Heyman have great chemistry could be a fun couple segments with Lesnar involved.

Trick needs a big fued, why not Orton who can afford to lose.

I hope it's not Drew vs Cody vs Jacob, because that would be a really underwhelming title match for a WM

 

[James Colorado]

I can see Bronson v LA Knight happening.

 

[Cleavy]

Spoiler: current WM plans according to Meltzer

not going with Reigns vs Cody. either Drew vs Cody; OR Drew vs Cody vs Jacob

feels underwhelming to me.

 

[WAbulldog]

Thinking the night 2 main event will be a combination of Punk, Roman, and/or Cody. Would definitely be more interested in a Cody v Punk match but gut feeling is that they probably will go with Cody v Roman 3. If that’s the direction then I think Punk will face Breaker again but this time with Breaker getting his moment.

 

[TY24]

AJ vs Gunther - AJ losers he must retire

Happened earlier than expected but great call

 

[Cleavy]

we might be getting Bad Bunny vs Logan Paul

 

[Cleavy]

speculation is maybe Brock vs LA Knight. Yuck!

 

[Johnboi]

speculation is maybe Brock vs LA Knight. Yuck!

The record of 6 second squash could be broken given Knight's recent political postings...bell, f5, 1,2,3...5 seconds done

how long was that match when Kofi lost the title to Brock on SD? 8 sec?

 

[Johnboi]

Close...7 seconds.

WM shortest match was Rock beating Erick Rowan in 6 seconds

Bundy sd Jones?!

 

[Johnboi]

Bundy sd Jones?!

9 seconds

 

[Cleavy]

9 seconds

It was way longer than that.

 

[Johnboi]

It was way longer than that.

According to wiki, it was announced officially as 9 seconds but actually went 17 seconds

 

[Jack Mundy]

Sd Jones didn't want to job in 9 seconds. Lingered in corner for a little while. Still announced as 9 seconds I rhink tho

 

[AFDogs]

Couldn't be any less excited for WM this year. Here's roughly what I would have done if I was in charge:

WM Night 1
Main event - Rhiyo vs. Kabuki Warriors vs. Charlotte/Alexa vs. Rodriguez/Perez Ladder Match
Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther
Drew McIntyre vs. LA Knight - WH Title

WM Night 2
Main event - Roman vs. Punk - WWE Title
Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi
Stephanie Vacquer vs. Liv Morgan

 

[Cleavy]

so maybe we'll discuss the announced matches in the WM thread, and discuss the speculation/unannounced matches here...

It's interesting that they haven't updated the winner of the women's qualifier on RAW yet (on the EC page) and specified the EC winner gets a shot at Jade's title on WWE.com (since they were specific with Drew and the Men's EC). maybe a chance of Raquel winning and making it a 3 way, and then they decide Jade's challenger another way?

 

[Cleavy]

hoping they just have IYO beat Jade in the WM build, so we can get IYO vs Rhea instead.

Asuka vs Iyo Sky

Hell in a Cell match originally planned for WWE WrestleMania 42

A Hell in a Cell match could have taken place at WWE WrestleMania 42 if original plans came to fruition. PWInsider reports that A Hell in a Cell match between Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes for the WWE…

www.f4wonline.com

we could have had Hell in a Cell. oh well...

 

[Cleavy]

Apparently Tiffany vs Giulia for US title is in the plans. Good for Giulia if true.

EDIT: based on this weeks SD, might be a multi person match to include Kiana and Chelsea?

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Apparently Tiffany vs Giulia for US title is in the plans. Good for Giulia if true.

With Stratton winning it I would have thought. Guilia is already a 2 time US champ, shes ready to main event.

unfortunately, they don't see her as highly as her Stardom/Marigold past (yet).
