Dolph Ziggler/Big E Langston vs Team Hell No: Team Hell No. No chance they're gonna give the belts to a jobber and his green friend. However, Ziggler's night will not be over! Team Hell No will continue for the next year and defend the belts at Mania 30, cause they have no fucking clue how to split these guys up even though the gimmick has run its course MONTHS ago.
Jericho vs Fandango: Fandango. Jericho is here for one reason and one reason only, to put over young talent. Looking forward to seeing what Jericho can do to carry the match.
The Miz vs Wade Barrett: Barrett. Filler match. Miz has ZERO momentum, so they'll just keep it on Barrett. Probably a rematch on the next PPV. And the one after that. And about 30 Raws and Smackdowns.
Rhodes Scholars vs Albert/Brodus: Albert/Brodus. Another filler match. Quick finish and they dance in the ring, probably with kids and a D list celebrity.
Ryback vs Mark Henry: Ryback. Just seems obvious. Should be a short match, no more than 5 minutes, will probably go for 40. Ryback will be gassed as fuck and botch his finisher.
The Shield vs Orton/Shaemus/Show: The Shield. Orton getting pissed at losing and turning heel makes too much sense at this point, so I believe there is a 0% chance of it happening. Show will probably become heel AGAIN, as if anyone cares. Randy will remain the silent babyface with no character whatsoever and no interesting angles until he's released after violating the wellness policy for the third time.
HHH vs Brock Lesnar: HHH. Revenge match for Hunter. We knew the outcome to this since Summer Slam.
Alberto Del Rio vs Jack Swagger: Alberto Del Rio. I think it's pretty clear that the Swagger experiment has been a failure, and he'll fade away into the midcard, then Saturday Morning Slam after Mania.
HOWEVER, Ziggler will cash in the briefcase and win the WHC, for possibly the biggest pop of the night. That should be fun. Unfortunately, it will kick off a feud between him and the shitty babyface Del Rio.
Undertaker vs CM Punk: Undertaker. No shit. Just hoping for a 5 star match between the two.
The Rock vs John Cena: Believe it or not, I find myself thinking the most about the outcome of this match. At first glance, it seemed obvious from the start. As soon as we knew Rock would be back for another Mania, we figured Cena would get his revenge, beat Rock, the torch is passed from one generation to the next and all that bullshit.
Well... I don't know. Since we've now heard that Rock will be back for at least one other PPV after Mania... it leads me to believe that Rock is going to take it at Mania, then drop the belt to Cena at Extreme Rules.
They HAVE to be aware that the smart New York City crowd will
CRUCIFY Cena for the entire night, let alone if he wins the belt off Rock. They do NOT want that to be the image that MILLIONS
of people see as Mania goes off the air.
So I'm going to say... aww fuck it, they're fucking idiots. Cena is going to win, get the fuck booed out of him, then they'll just shake it off the next night like it never happened (MIXED REACTION FROM THE DOUBLE YEW DOUBLE YEW E UNIVERSE).
It's about time Cena wins the big one amirite.
More predictions:
-Taker/Punk is match of the night, followed by Jericho/Fandango. Taker/Punk will get a THIS IS AWESOME chant at some point.
-Ziggler cashes in the breifcase for the biggest pop of the night. As soon as that music hits that place is going to erupt, I can feel it.
-Cena wins, gets booed like crazy as pyro and fireworks go off, and the commentators try to sell this magical moment like Cena has FINALLY overcome the odds.
