Wrestlemania 33: Alexa Bliss (c) Open Challenge (Prediction)

(For the Smackdown Women's Championship)

Alexa Bliss couldn't decide who to face at Wrestlemania, so Smackdown GM Daniel Bryan stated that every available woman on the Smackdown roster will have a chance at the belt on April 2. How will this match work? Will it be everyone in the ring at once or just one quick match after another? At this point in time, it's unclear.

Because there are more questions than answers for this match, we're going to go out on a limb and say this is the match when Asuka from NXT gets called up and ends up winning the Smackdown Women's Championship. That prediction may not be a little too far out there, as her call-up is one rumors circulating around the net.

Note: Naomi returned on the March 28 episode of Smackdown, and she announced she will be a part of this match.

Prediction: Asuka steps up and wins

Wrestlemania 33: Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson (c) vs. Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs. Cesaro & Sheamus (Prediction)

Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson (c) vs. Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs. Cesaro & Sheamus

(For the Raw Tag Team Championship)

There are a lot of talented stars involved in this match; however, a triple threat for the Raw Tag Team Championship doesn't have as strong of a story driving it. This championship match features the active teams on Raw--minus New Day, who are hosting the night's events.

There has to be more to this match than meets the eye. Right off the bat, Gallows and Anderson will get the win, but it will happen thanks to interference from former Bullet Club member Finn Balor. The injured star and former Universal Champion has been at house shows, and Wrestlemania is the best time for him to return. This may sound a bit too much for an early Wrestlemania match, but maybe we just want to see a Bullet Club reunion.

Prediction: Gallows and Anderson win after Finn Balor interference

Wrestlemania 33: Seth Rollins vs. Triple H (Prediction)

This is a story a few years in the making. At one time, Seth Rollins and Triple H worked together, and things were going great, especially when Rollins was the champion. However, Rollins was betrayed, and after a knee injury, he's made his return and is now looking for revenge.

This is the best storyline on Raw. While the card is already stacked, this is a welcome addition. There is nothing more we'd rather see than Rollins coming out on top here. However, he is injured, so in order for him to get the win, it's going to take some outside interference. This is very tough to call, but we're giving the win to Triple H.

     Prediction: Triple H wins

Wrestlemania 33: Goldberg (c) vs. Brock Lesnar (Prediction)

(For the Universal Championship)

Brock Lesnar is challenging Goldberg for the Universal Championship. Both meetings between the two stars, at the Royal Rumble and Survivor Series, have shown that Goldberg is a dominant force. This will be the third official meeting between the two stars.

We think that this is the end of the feud, and there's no way Goldberg will best Lesnar once again. Continuously beating down a person that WWE has set up to be an unstoppable force (Lesnar), over and over, doesn't make sense unless he gets the win at the end. Lesnar will get his belt back and give it up to someone else at the next PPV. We don't see either of these men holding the title for very long.

Prediction: Lesnar wins

Wrestlemania 33: Bray Wyatt (c) vs. Randy Orton (Prediction)

(For the WWE Championship)

WWE Champion Bray Wyatt will be taking on former ally and Royal Rumble winner Randy Orton. This has been a fantastic storyline and is one of the most anticipated matches of the card. Orton recently burned down the Wyatt's compound, so Wyatt is out for revenge.

We love Bray Wyatt as champion, and it's really hard to put that love aside, especially when he's up against someone who has headlined a plethora of PPVs. We're thinking WWE is going to continue pushing Wyatt, and there may be some interferences in this match, whether it's Luke Harper or Erick Rowan. Taking everything into consideration, Wyatt will retain his belt.

Prediction: Wyatt wins clean.

Wrestlemania 33: Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns (Prediction)

One staple of Wrestlemania is the Undertaker. This year, he'll be taking on Roman Reigns, a match whose seeds were planted back at Royal Rumble. There have been a couple meetings between the two since then.

There isn't a lot of hype behind this, and there are plenty of rumors stating this is going to be the Undertaker's last match. Because of this, we think he's going out on top with a win.

Prediction: Undertaker wins

Wrestlemania 33: Shane McMahon vs. AJ Styles (Prediction)

AJ Styles didn't have a match at Wrestlemania, so he did the one thing that would get everyone's attention: attack Shane McMahon. Now, he'll be fighting the son of the owner of the WWE, even though Styles was fired by general manager Daniel Bryan.

There's one thing we can say about this match: it's going to be filled with ridiculous high spots. Whether you like the booking or not, it's going to entertain the masses. However, when it comes down to it, we think Styles is going to come out on top.

     Prediction: Styles wins

Wrestlemania 33: Bayley (c) vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax (Fatal 4-Way Match) (Prediction)

(For the Raw Women's Championship)

Three of the women on Raw have proven themselves as worthy of the Women's Championship on the Monday night show: Charlotte, Sasha Banks, and Nia Jax. All three of them will take on the current champion, Bayley.

This is extremely tough to call. The only one who hasn't been champion as of yet is Nia Jax, but is she ready? While Bayley, Charlotte, and Banks are all top-talent and put on some amazing matches, we're going to go out on a limb and say the human-wrecking ball, Jax, is going to win it all.

Prediction: Nia Jax wins

Wrestlemania 33: Chris Jericho (c) vs. Kevin Owens (Prediction)

(For the United States Championship)

Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens used to be best friends. Then, Owens turned on Jericho at the "Festival of Friendship," and wrestling fans' hearts shattered into a million pieces. Now, the two will battle it out on the grandest stage of them all: Wrestlemania.

Much like the Cena match, the word around the campfire is that Jericho is taking a break after the April event. Considering all of that, we're giving the win to Owens. Hopefully, we can also see Owens get a dirty win to get some more heat on him as well.

Prediction: Owens wins dirty

Wrestlemania 33: John Cena & Nikki Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse (Prediction)

This is a feud blending the worlds of the reality series Total Divas and Smackdown as Nikki Bella and Maryse's battle has its own match at Wrestlemania. In addition, their significant others are teaming with them for this match.

While The Miz is one of our favorite parts of Smackdown, with all the rumblings that John Cena is about to take some time off from the company, it seems more than likely WWE will want Cena to go out on top. That being said, we're giving the win to Cena and Bella.

Prediction: Cena/Bella wins

Wrestlemania 33: Dean Ambrose (c) vs. Baron Corbin (Prediction)

Dean Ambrose (c) vs. Baron Corbin

(For the Intercontinental Championship)

Baron Corbin continues his dominance on Smackdown, and the next person on his list is Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose. Both of these men want to be back on the road to the WWE Championship, but they'll have to face each other first.

It feels like a no-brainer that Corbin is going to win this one, freeing Ambrose from the Intercontinental belt to enter the WWE Championship picture. Then, it will finally be time for Corbin to have some gold around his waist.

Prediction: Corbin wins

Wrestlemania 33: Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal (Kickoff Show) Predection

In the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, 30 superstars begin the match in the ring, and much like the Royal Rumble match, each wrestler is eliminated by being tossed over the top rope. As of this writing, only 21 wrestlers have been announced for the match: Braun Strowman, Sami Zayn, Goldust, R-Truth, Curtis Axel, Primo, Epico, Bo Dallas, Jinder Mahal, Apollo Crews, Mojo Rawley, Big Show, Curt Hawkins, Dolph Ziggler, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Chad Gable, Rhyno, Heath Slater, Tyler Breeze, and Fandango.

Because there are still nine people to be announced for this match--one of which we hope is Tye Dillinger--this is a tough one to call. However, because of the headway he's making on Raw and also because there are a lot of rumors of this being "his year," we're going to give the win to Braun Strowman.

Our Prediction: Braun Strowman wins

Wrestlemania 33: Neville (c) vs. Austin Aries (Kickoff Show) Predection

(For the Cruiserweight Championship)

The cruiserweight division has been a lot of fun, especially with Neville as the champion. Now, the commentator for 205 Live, Austin Aries, is stepping into the ring to take on the champion.

In order for this rivalry, which is relatively new, to keep going, Aries has to win here. In addition, Neville needs to be knocked down a few pegs because his ego is out of control, so an Aries win here just makes sense.

Prediction: Aries wins

Non-Title Match Bray Wyatt vs. Luke Harper

WWE SMACKDOWN : MizTV (28/03/17)

The Miz’s music hits and he makes his way down to the ring with his wife Maryse. The Miz welcomes everyone to The Miz TV. He says last week we got a glimpse into the personal lives of John Cena and Nikki Bella. This week is the shocking conclusion. Highlights of last week are shown. Clips are shown with Nikki Bella (Maryse) asking John Cena (The Miz) if she will marry him. The scene cuts back to the ring and Maryse says we will find out what John Cena says after the commercial break.

The conclusion of the skit. In the skit, Cena says “I do… Not ever want to marry you. It would damage my brand.” The skit ends with The Miz and Maryse saying they know that Cena and Nikki are watching and they will make sure that Wrestlemania is their curtain call. Miz says without WWE, Cena is done (in Hollywood). Maryze says tells Nikki to enjoy the Kids Choice awards because it’s the closest she will be with kids with Cena.

Back in the ring, Cena’s music hits. He comes down with Nikki. They get in the ring and Cena grabs a microphone. Cena says he was laughing with everyone else. He says The Miz nailed it with the skits. Cena says it’s one of the few good things he’s done. Cena says they have a problem with them because they believe that what they are saying is true. Cena mentions how Maryse blamed Nikki for Maryse not coming back earlier. Cena states the reason why Maryse didn’t come back sooner was because she wasn’t any good. He says he is as brand loyal as Vince McMahon. Half of the people hate Cena for it. He says he is going to do a movie and come back. He mentions a list of superstars who have done it, including The Miz himself.

Cena says at least The Miz is doing something but he doesn’t know what Maryse is doing. There’s a women’s revolution going on but Maryse does nothing. He calls her a waste of space. The only reason she is back is because The Miz begged WWE to hire her back so he (The Miz) can be on Total Bellas. Cena states that The Miz is using Maryse to be on Total Divas.

John tells The Miz he isn’t real but real will hit him at Wrestlemania. Cena gets serious and tells The Miz he is looking at the man who will beat him at Wrestlemania. And how he and Nikki will destroy them at Wrestlemania. Cena calls The Miz a p*ssy. He calls The Miz and Maryse the sh** couple.

They go face to face but The Miz and Maryse back away and leave the ring. The Miz takes off his jacket and makes his way back to the ring but Maryse stops him. Nikki grabs the microphone and calls them fake jealous haters.

Mickie James & Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss & Carmella

During the commercial break, the women’s match turned into a tag team match. Mickie James and Becky Lynch against Carmella and Alexa Bliss.

Contract signing between Shane McMahon and AJ Styles

Daniel Bryan’s music hits to loud “YES” chants as the Smackdown Live general manager makes his way to the ring. We see a table and two chairs in the ring as it’s time for the contract signing. The crowd starts with the “Daniel Bryan” chants as he thanks the crowd and asks them if they’re ready for Wrestlemania. Bryan welcomes Shane McMahon as “Here comes the money” plays and the Smackdown Live commissioner gets ready for the contract signing. Bryan introduces Shane’s opponent for Wrestlemania, AJ Styles! Styles gets in the ring as both men sit.

Shane starts off by saying that 8 months ago when Smackdown became Smackdown Live, he and Bryan had a vision to make it the land of opportunity. Where management wouldn’t push their own agendas. And no matter what has happened between them, he thinks he is one of the greatest talents to ever step foot through the ropes. And that he truly is phenomenal. AJ says they actually agree on something and that yes, he is phenomenal. The crowd starts an “AJ Styles” chant. Shane says he used the feel from the crowd and it catapulted him into winning the WWE championship. But after that, he got arrogant. And it was that arrogance and ego which cost him the WWE championship. And since he wasn’t supposed to be at Wrestlemania, AJ put himself on the card by attacking him. Shane says if AJ doesn’t bring his A game, how phenomenal will he feel when it’s his hand being raised at Wrestlemania?

AJ asks Shane if he knows what kind of match they’re having. Not a HIAC match, not falls count anywhere. Where if he’s out of the ring for more than 10 seconds, he’ll lose. No tables, ladders or chairs. If he uses anything, he’ll be disqualified. It’s what we call a “traditional match” and he doesn’t know if Shane has ever been in one. And when he gets in the ring with him, he’ll have entered the world of AJ Styles. And that in the ring, he is untouchable. AJ says he will embarass him on every level. He says Shane has been in the ring with Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, The Rock and last year with the Undertaker. But here’s the thing, he’s never been in the ring with somebody like AJ Styles before. He is all around the best performer to ever step foot in a WWE ring. And at Wrestlemania, Shane will find out how phenomenal he really is. AJ signs the contract and moves the table as Daniel Bryan interferes.

Bryan tells them to calm down and asks for them to shake hands. Shane extends his hand and AJ walks out of the ring.

Roman Reigns addresses The Undertaker

Roman Reigns makes his entrance. This Sunday, he will face the legendary Undertaker, who is 21-1 at WrestleMania. The crowd boos and buzzes while Reigns stands in the ring looking quite serious. One loud woman is screaming for him. In 2015, he won the Royal Rumble match right here in Philadelphia. That draws loud boos. Then he went on to headline WrestleMania twice, which gets more boos. For the longest time, he thought that was the biggest moment of his career, but it wasn’t. This year, he faces The Undertaker. That’ll be the biggest moment of his career. He’ll do what no one has done before him: put the Dead Man down! Reigns says this with all due respect: he doesn’t care if you’re Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, or John Cena. He doesn’t care what The Undertaker thinks. This is his time now. This sold out arena is his house now. This is his yard!

The Undertaker’s bell tolls, and the crowd pops loudly. The Undertaker’s graveyard is shown. Undertaker says Reigns has made a grave mistake. The ring he’s in belongs to him. This cemetery is Reigns’ yard. Reigns lives by the words “One versus All.” That’s why he carved out a special place in Hell for Reigns. Undertaker is shown next to the freshly dug grave. Undertaker says, “At WrestleMania, the Roman Empire will face, and ‘The Ultimate Thrill Ride’ will be your last ride.” A grave with Reigns’ name is shown. Undertaker advises Reigns to live each day as if it is his last. Soon, it will be. At WrestleMania, Reigns will…

The lights go out, and the bell tolls once again. The bell continues to toll, and the crowd gets louder. When the lights come back on, Undertaker is standing behind Reigns. Reigns slowly turns and stares at him. Undertaker holds up a microphone and says, “As I was saying, at WrestleMania, you will Rest… In… Peace!” Undertaker throws up his hands, and it thunders inside the arena. Undertaker slowly brings his hands down, and the lights go out. The bell tolls again.

Triple H & Seth Rollins sign a Hold Harmless Agreement

Seth Rollins’ music hits, and he makes his way to the ring limping on a crutch to a decent reception. Rollins gets in the ring, and the reception picks up. There’s a table in the ring. Rollins calls Triple H out to “get this done.”

Triple H’s music, and the WWE COO makes his way to the ring holding the Hold Harmless Agreement for a Non-Sanctioned Match at WrestleMania. Triple H stands on the apron and says before he gets in the ring, he will defend himself if Rollins attacks him, and that won’t go well for him. If Rollins attacks him before he signs the document, the match is off. Rollins will sit down in the ring and listen to the rights he’s signing away. Rollins says he’s listened to Triple H long enough and tells him to get into the ring with the contract. Triple H gets in the ring and demands that he sit down and listen. Rollins doesn’t do it. Triple H says listening to the crowd is the wrong thing. Triple H says the match is off and walks out of the ring. Rollins then sits down. Triple H says, “Good boy.” Triple H wants him to understand what will happen when he signs the contract. Rollins is giving up all his rights. When he gets into the ring at WrestleMania, he’s going to take that crutch and wrap it around his knee again. Triple H won’t stop there and will keep going until he destroys what he created. When he signs the document, he gives away his rights. When Rollins’ career is over, he can’t sue him, his wife, or the WWE. Rollins says, “I get it, so sing the contract and hand it over.”

Triple H says Rollins didn’t sell his soul – he made a smart business decision. Now he has a moral dilemma because of the crowd. Triple H hates that success is frowned upon in society. It’s jealousy. If Rollins isn’t making enemies, he’s not making money. If everyone doesn’t hate him, he’s not living to his full potential. Triple H says he’d rather eat well than sleep well. He’d rather live the good life. You get one shot at life. You take life, grab it by the throat, and make it give you everything you want. Screw everybody else. If Rollins wants to grow a conscience and sign the contract, when he goes to “The Ultimate Thrill Ride,” it won’t be that great. Maybe he can get his knee patched up and start wrestling in front of a couple hundred people. Triple H signs the contract and says Rollins is a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest. A one-legged man has never won an ass kicking contest. Rollins won’t be the first. Triple H says understands missing WrestleMania a second year in a row sucks, but if he signs the contract, he’ll walk into WrestleMania, but he won’t walk out.

Triple H puts the contract in front of him. Rollins looks at the contract and says that was the same line of bullcrap he bought into three years ago. This isn’t three years ago. When you’re out rehabbing, you gain perspective. Rollins says he learned that he liked himself before he met Triple H. Rollins didn’t mind wrestling for a hot dog and a handshake at the Philadelphia National Guard Armory. When the got together, they accomplished a lot, but at what cost? It’s not about fame, power, or one match at WrestleMania. This is about redemption, not revenge. Rollins gave up everything to stand next to him. For what? At WrestleMania, Triple H better be prepared to tear his leg off and beat him with it because nothing will stop him from tearing him apart. Rollins is going to get back what he wants: who he was before Triple H. Rollins then signs the contract and shoves it into Triple H.

Triple H turns before kicking the table into Rollins’ bad knee. Triple H pushes the table aside and kicks him in the leg. Triple H takes off his jacket and tie slowly before picking up the crutch. Triple H looks at it, but Rollins catches him with a step-up enzuigiri. Rollins goes for a Pedigree, but Triple H clips the knee. Triple H goes for a Pedigree, but Rollins counters with a back body drop over the top rope. Triple H gets back in the ring, but Rollins cracks him on the back with the crutch. Triple H quickly leaves the ring and retreats up the ramp. Rollins holds himself up and looks furious. Rollins can barely stand !!!

Heyman says that means he’s the one centerpiece of Monday Night RAW. Lesnar wants and needs that title. His client lusts after that title. Goldberg has that title. So many other have tried – Sting tried to pull off what Goldberg has accomplished. Where Sting fell short, Goldberg rose to the occasion with dominance and destruction. Goldberg has his respect, admiration, and compliments. Goldberg is a real life superhero. Goldberg is truly the man… but his client, Brock Lesnar, is the beast. This beast will chew him up and spit him out like nothing anyone has seen before. Really bad things happen to authentic superheroes when they step into the ring with Brock Lesnar.

How does it all end? What is the denouement to this epic saga? Heyman wants to elucidate. They need a reason to subscribe to the WWE Network or buy a seat on a secondary market. Heyman says, “Oh Bill, this Sunday at WrestleMania, you are going to Suplex City where Goldberg’s check in, but they don’t check out.” A light “Goldberg” chant fires up. Heyman says that’ll be the last “Goldberg” chant on RAW. They should rename the show to WrestleMania 33: Death to Superheroes. Heyman starts to give him Catholic rites, but realizes Goldberg is Jewish like himself. Heyman then does a Jewish burial rite. Lesnar doesn’t fear the spear because Goldberg can’t survive the F-5.

Goldberg’s music hits, and the cameras go backstage to watch him making his way through the hallways looking intense. Goldberg comes out to the ramp and says people did not come to hear them talk. They came to see them fight. Since he can’t take everyone from Philly to WrestleMania, they should bring some WrestleMania to Philly. Lesnar meets him at ringside, and Goldberg viciously spears him down on the floor! Goldberg gets in the ring and holds up the Universal Title. 

Lesnar clutches his ribs in pain and gasps for air while Goldberg celebrates in the ring.
