WWE WrestleMania predictions: Can John Cena beat Undertaker? Will Ronda Rousey dominate?
RAW and Smackdown superstars are set to make history this Sunday at WrestleMania 34 as careers will be made and legendary status will be established.
This year’s WrestleMania will be very special as UFC legend Ronda Rousey makes her WWE debut in a blockbuster Mixed Tag Team Match that will see her teaming up with former Olympian Kurt Angle to take on on-screen RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and 14-time world champion Triple H.
Undertaker may end his in-ring career with a dream match against John Cena, which is expected to be made official tonight on RAW.
Roman Reigns is set for a very physical and intense battle with Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and AJ Styles will defend the WWE title against the men’s Royal Rumble winner Shinsuke Nakamura in a highly-anticipated bout match.
The inaugural women’s Royal Rumble winner Asuka will challenge Charlotte Flair for the Smackdown Women’s title in a match that could steal the show.
Daniel Bryan will also wrestle his first bout since getting cleared to compete again after a two-year retirement.
But who will stand tall at the Grandest Stage of Them All on April 8 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana?
Check out our WrestleMania predictions below:
WWE Admin
WWE Champion AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura
Many fans have been wanting to see Styles and Nakamura renew their New Japan (NJPW) rivalry ever since the Japanese superstar joined NXT.
This match can steal the show and we should expected The King of Strong Style to prevail.
Styles surely doesn’t mind putting The Artist over and rumours suggest he might move to RAW after Mania.
Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura
Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns
Reigns is definitely going to win this one, no doubt about it.
That has been the plan since last year and rumours suggest Lesnar won’t renew his contract after WrestleMania and will rejoin UFC.
The question here is, how will The Big Dog win the title? Rumours suggest Paul Heyman will betray The Beast and align with the challenger.
Winner: Roman Reigns
Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle vs Stephanie McMahon and Triple H
Rousey is arguably WWE’s biggest ever signing.
There is no chance she will lose her first match.
The question again here is, how will the MMA hero and Angle win? Rumours suggest The Rock might get involved.
Winners: Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle
Undertaker vs John Cena
That’s a difficult prediction, this match can indeed go either way.
Cena hasn’t been enjoying a lot of wins recently as he came up short in the men’s Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber match.
The 16-time world champion also failed to win the WWE title in a Six-Pack Challenge at Fastlane and has been putting a lot of talent over.
Undertaker, on the other hand, may wrestle his very last match and is very old school - that means he is probably the kind of wrestler to be willing to lose his last match, just like Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels did.
Cena will be around for much longer and, as much as it pains me to say, he might win this one so that he can build some momentum ahead of the upcoming season.
Winner: John Cena
Intercontinental Champion The Miz vs Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor
Finn Balor has been very impressive recently as he has picked up some important wins.
The Miz though is an incredible heel and always gets the fans riled up with his scathing promos.
Balor Club need a push but The A-Lister is too good.
The three men are set to compete for the title at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia after Mania in a Fatal 4-Way Ladder Match that will also feature Samoa Joe.
Don’t act surprised if Joe gets included in the WrestleMania match as well.
Winner: The Miz

Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal
That is very difficult to predict but we should expect the winner to be a rather big talent and someone that will go on to get a serious push.
WWE are keen to give the battle royal as much attention as possible to help with the promotion of HBO’s documentary on Andre The Giant.
None of the confirmed participants have built enough momentum to appear like the favourite.
Woken Matt Hardy is arguably more over than the rest and could pose a serious threat.
But a returning superstar or an NXT star could shake things up on Sunday night.
Winner: Returning star/NXT talent

Smackdown Tag Team Champions The Usos vs The New Day vs The Bludgeon Brothers
The Bludgeon Brothers have been very impressive and dominant since the reunion of Harper and Rowan.
Who can forget the savage attack they unleashed at Fastlane?
Harper and Rowan have more momentum than The Usos or The New Day and could indeed win the titles.
Winners: The Bludgeon Brothers
Cedric Alexander vs Mustafa Ali (WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament Finals)
Cedric Alexander has been very impressive ever since the Cruiserweight Classic tournament.
Alexander should be the one coming out on top but his rivalry with Mustafa Ali could continue in the next couple of months.
The Cruiserweight hero has earned a big WrestleMania moment.
Winner: Cedric Alexander
Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan vs Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn
The arena will erupt when Bryan’s music hits and he walks down the aisle for his very first match in two years.
The ex-WWE Champion has been cleared to wrestle again and his return from retirement should come with a win.
However, if Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn lose then they will remain fired.
But a defeat could just send them over to RAW on the superstar shake-up - it’ also about time McMahon wins a match.
Winners: Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon

United States Champion Randy Orton vs Bobby Roode vs Jinder Mahal vs Rusev
There will surely be a lot of fans willing and able to riot at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome if Rusev doesn’t win the title.
The Bulgarian Brute has done an excellent job winning over the fans even as a heel (bad guy).
It’s about time Rusev got his moment in the sun, and what better timing than Rusev Mania?
Winner: Rusev
WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal
Bayley and Sasha Banks are arguably the most interesting participants in the match as they basically ignited a feud last week on RAW when they brawled backstage.
However, it’s safer to predict that they will just end up eliminating each other from the match.
This looks like the kind of bout that will see a Smackdown star prevailing and getting back on track, which is why Becky Lynch could win it.
Winner: Becky Lynch
RAW Tag Team Champions Cesaro and Sheamus vs Braun Strowman and a partner of his choosing
There are two questions here: Who will win? And who will Braun Strowman’s partner be?
Many superstars have been linked with that role, such as Big Show, Big Cass, Bray Wyatt, Elias, Samoa Joe and more.
WWE have pretty much spoiled the outcome of the match as Cesaro and Sheamus are set to compete in Saudi Arabia for the RAW Tag Team titles against The Hardy Boyz.
Therefore, based on the situation, it is safer to predict that The Bar will win.
Winners: Sheamus and Cesaro

Smackdown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair vs Asuka
This match can steal the show as Charlotte and Asuka are arguably the best female competitors in WWE.
If there's only one WWE star capable of ending The Empress of Tomorrow's two-and-a-half year undefeated streak it's Charlotte.
However, Asuka will probably remain undefeated and dominate next season until WrestleMania 35.
Rumours suggest she will face Rousey in a dream match.
But you might want to keep an eye on Ms Money in the Bank Carmella who could finally cash in.
Winner: Asuka
RAW Women's Champion Alexa Bliss vs Nia Jax
That’s a very interesting bout.
Alexa Bliss has been very impressive as champion but Nia Jax has repeatedly shown that she deserves a chance with the belt.
However, The Irresistible Force may have to wait a little longer as Bliss’ tactics may help her steal another big win.
You might want to keep an eye on Ms Money in the Bank Carmella during and after the match.
Winner: Alexa Bliss
