Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley – WWE Women’s World Championship
Felix: Bianca Belair
Three of the best women in the business will face off this weekend. I could see each one of them winning but Belair is walking out champion. She has an undefeated 5-0 streak going at Maina which shows how dominant she is. No one is going to break her streak just yet. This could be the match of the night or even the weekend. They all are really talented and have great chemistry together.
Bernie: Rhea Ripley
Just like the main event of Night One, this is a very difficult decision. All three women deserve to hold a title, but only one will walk away as champion. For the sole purpose of the writers choosing a different winner, I’ll pick Rhea Ripley (but in reality I’ll be fine with whoever).
Vincent: Iyo Sky
In a match with three of the best superstars in the women’s division, Iyo Sky has been overshadowed and pushed to the side, literally and figuratively, by Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley. The Genius of the Sky will find her moment to steal the spotlight that Ripley and Belair have been battling for, reminding the division why she is the Women’s World Champion.
Ben: Bianca BelairWith three of the best women’s wrestlers in the past couple of years facing off for the WWE Women’s Championship. I can see any of these women winning the title, however, I believe that Bianca Belair will walk out of ‘Mania as Champion, getting the pin over Iyo.
AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul
Felix: Logan Paul
Paul always finds himself in these big matches at all the major events. This time he faces the experienced Styles. This is the Phenomenal One’s ninth Wrestlemaina and he is looking for another win. It is pretty crazy that Styles has been in the company for almost a decade. Anyways, this should be an entertaining match even though there isn’t a big storyline. Paul will cheat and pick up the win.
Bernie: AJ Styles
Whether it’s because of cryptocurrency scams, filming in the forest, or being a really good heel, everyone hates Logan Paul. He won’t be able to manage this burden going into the biggest night of the year where he needs to be laser-focused against AJ Styles. The Phenomenal One has only missed one WrestleMania in his WWE career and he won’t get caught off guard by the Internet Sensation.
Vincent: AJ Styles
Logan Paul has been in numerous big matches at WWE’s biggest events throughout his tenure as a superstar. Yet, each time he’s in the match, he almost always is the one losing. As talented as he is, this will be another instance of this, as AJ Styles will be victorious in one of his final WrestleMania matches.
Ben: AJ StylesIf Logan Paul wins this match, I will never watch wrestling again. AJ Styles is something of a true legend in the wrestling business, with his time in TNA and now in WWE, he is one the greatest wrestlers of the 2000s and 2010s, and if Logan Paul beats him then wrestling is doomed.
Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez (c) vs. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria – WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships
Felix: Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
Something is bound to happen to Bayley and Valkyria. They may be number one contenders but they have their history. Valkyria is the current intercontinental champion and was challenged by Bayley not too long ago. It is going to be interesting to see how they work together on the big stage and if someone turns. With all this in mind, Morgan and Rodriguez retain.
Bernie: Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
This division is just depressing, to no fault of the women in it. This is the bleak spot of the Triple H era as he can’t book it correctly. Liv and Raquel have the most chemistry out of all the teams and there’s no way a thrown-together pair of Bayley and Lyra can beat them. The champs will retain in what should be a Chelsea Green match instead.
Vincent: Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
The women’s tag team division is very thin, with Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez being the only “true” tag team. While Bayley and Lyra Valkyria are both super talented in the ring, this match was primarily made to get Morgan on the WrestleMania card, as one of the company’s top female stars.
Ben: Liv and Raquel With the Women’s tag team being a thing right now, I don’t see why WWE would thin it out anymore by having Liv and Raquel drop the titles. I also think that Bayley could be a better title rival for Bianca rather than Liv and Raquel. With that in mind, Liv and Raquel retain the titles and keep the gold for The Judgment Day.
Bron Breakker (c) vs. Penta vs. Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio – Intercontinental Championship
Felix: Penta
Breakker has a big challenge in front of him in the fatal four way. He has been a dominant champion and beat anyone that stood in his way. However, there is someone else climbing the ranks and making a name for himself. Penta has become a star since joining the company a few months ago. Some say it might be early for him to win a major title but he is ready to prove them all wrong.
Bernie: Finn Balor
Finn Balor has taken numerous beatings since joining the Judgement Day a few years back, and while he deserves another shot at the main event, the Intercontinental Championship will suffice. Breakker’s title run has been incredible due to his amazing athletic ability. That gift will keep him in the match, but all it takes is one Coup de Grâce for the Prince to win more gold.
Vincent: Dominik Myerstio
With the landscape of The Judgement Day, something is bound to happen between Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio. Breakker is due to contend for a top WWE title, so he’s going to lose, but not take the pin. Instead, Balor will have Penta down and out after a Coup de Grace, before Mysterio will steal the victory for his Judgement Day brethine and win his first title in the WWE.
Ben: Dominik MysterioDominik Mysterio, much like his father, will win his match, and it will come from the help of The Judgment Day. Mysterio will win the IC belt by pinning Finn Balor, which will also see Balor be kicked out of the Judgement Day and replaced by Rey Mysterio by having Balor finish one storyline while also keeping Penta and Breakker strong for future title shots.
Randy Orton vs. TBD
Felix: Randy Orton
Orton is back at another Maina but this time his opponent is undecided. There are names being thrown around who this could be but I am leaning towards Miro. Formally known as Rusev, The Bulgarian Brute is going to make his much needed return. He joined All Elite Wrestling a few years ago and wasn’t used to his full potential due to the large roster. Now in the WWE, he can go back to where he had his most success. It will still be Randy Orton’s night but Miro will get a loud pop.
Bernie: Randy Orton
No matter who accepts Orton’s open challenge, he’s guaranteed a victory. The Viper is still in great shape even twenty years into his career and can go with anyone. Maybe we’ll get to see another unique RKO just for th fun of it.
Vincent: Randy Orton
With Randy Orton issuing an open challenge on Friday Night SmackDown, fans are in a situation similar to WrestleMania 38, where Seth Rollins faced a mystery opponent, who ended up being the returning Cody Rhodes. Though I don’t believe the return will be to the magnitude of Rhodes’, a returning Rusev (Miro from his AEW tenure) will step up to the plate, reminding the WWE why he was dubbed “The Bulgarian Brute.” Though the return will be to the crowd’s approval, The Legend Killer will win in his 20th WrestleMania match.
Ben: Randy Orton
With Randy Orton issuing a public challenge for anyone to face him at Mania. There have been many names that have been mentioned, from Miro to Solo Sikoa. I believe whoever accepts Randy’s challenge for ‘Mania Randy will come out on top via pinfall.
Damien Priest vs. Drew McIntyre – Sin City Street Fight
Felix: Drew McIntyre
Just a year ago, McIntyre won the World Heavy Championship at Wrestlemania XL and Priest spoiled his moment. Cashing in his Money in the Bank and taking the title away from him. It has been rough for McIntyre but he has been waiting for this moment for 12 months. McIntyre is working his way back to main event status and it all starts with a win.
Bernie: Drew McIntyre
These matches almost write themselves. Drew McIntyre will battle the man who took away his World Heavyweight Championship as last year’s WrestleMania in a street fight. Due to the stipulation, and the grudge McIntyre probably holds, this is sure to be a fun and chaotic bout. Priest has been directionless for months now and Drew needs to get himself back into the title picture, so this one goes to Scotsman.
Vincent: Drew McIntyre
McIntyre has had the best-worst year in recent WWE memory, putting on epic matches every time he’s in the ring, but falling short almost always. After Priest stole his WrestleMania moment last year and eliminated him in the Royal Rumble and the Elimination Chamber, McIntyre snapped, leading to this potential slugfest, in which McIntyre will get his revenge for the year of sorrows.
Ben: Drew Mclntyre
Mclntyre is heading into Mania looking for revenge on Priest. Priest cashed in his money in the bank contract on Drew winning the World Heavyweight title with help from CM Punk. Mclntyre has managed to build himself back up for a match he’s been waiting for since last Mania.
Cody Rhodes (c) vs. John Cena – Undisputed WWE Championship
Felix: John Cena
What a main event this should be. From finishing the story last year to defending against the 16-time world champion. Cena is obviously looking for history by winning one more championship before he retires. He is going to do whatever it takes to get it even if he has to cheat. This is not normally Cena’s way of doing things but after his heel turn anything is possible. Nobody would’ve thought a heel Cena would headline Wrestlemania.
Bernie: John Cena
What an interesting matchup this is. After coming off arguably the best heel turn of all time at Royal Rumble 2025, the feud between John Cena and Cody Rhodes has not disappointed. From fiery promos to brutal assaults, both men look forward to the coveted WrestleMania main event. This is when Cena finally breaks Ric Flair’s record, this is when selling his soul to the Rock pays off, this is the night where he cements his legacy forever.
Vincent: John Cena
This match is one straight from a video game. After finishing his story at WrestleMania XL, Cody Rhodes stood tall every step of the way this past year, knocking off every opponent in his way and losing numerous of his friends along the way. Now, all alone, he has to face the most dangerous version of John Cena the WWE has ever seen. With hatred towards the fans and nothing else in sight besides the elusive 17th world championship win, the heel Cena will have help from his new alliance with The Rock to beat Ric Flair’s world title record.
Ben: Cody Rhodes
Will John Cena break Ric Flair’s record? The answer is no. Cena is coming off the biggest heel turn in wrestling since Hulk Hogan joined the NWO back in the 90s and is looking for one last title win before according to him, heading off into retirement. Rhodes, however, might have something to say about that. Rhodes has been WWE Champion since defeating Roman Reigns in last year’s main event with funny enough, Cena helping him. Rhodes will have to dig down and reach from within in order to defeat Cena, a true legend in wrestling. However, there is one thing Rhodes has that Cena doesn’t, and that is a legend killer as one of his close friends, in Randy Orton. Rhodes will retain the WWE Champion with help from an RKO from Orton.
