PREDICTIONS:
Roman Reigns (c) Vs. Brock Lesnar – Universal Championship
The highly anticipated rematch between Reigns & Lesnar is the talking point of this entire PPV. We already witnessed lots of surprises in the last few weeks, the most surprising part was Reigns firing Heyman in an episode of Friday Night Smackdown. Reports are suggesting that this match will be the main event of Wrestlemania 38. If this is true, then we might see some sort of turn in the result which helps Lesnar conquering The Tribal Chief and becoming the Universal Champion one more time just to drop the belt to Reigns at Mania 38.
Prediction: Brock Lesnar
Big E (c) Vs. Seth Rollins Vs. Bobby Lashley Vs. Kevin Owens – Fatal-4-Way for the WWE Championship
Another top title match involved with four best athletes on the RAW roster. In my opinion the built of this match-up is amazing as WWE gave everyone their chances to shine and the unique team up of Rollins and Owens make this match more interesting. Unfortunately, Rollins got COVID last week but still he’s been advertised for this match. We can hope for the best for Rollins.
The result of this match might be a surprise as we all know that Owens signed a multi year deal with WWE and WWE might pull the trigger on Owens and make him the WWE Champion. Big E is having a pretty decent run as WWE Champion but now it’s the right time for him to drop the belt. Our prediction will be Owens winning the title and Rollins will take the pinfall.
Prediction: Kevin Owens
Becky Lynch (c) Vs. Liv Morgan – RAW Women’s Championship
This is the only women’s match in the entire card, but the build-up for this match is pretty awesome. We witnessed a first time ever cinematic backstage attack when Liv attacked Becky at the performance center. Becky is having a very lackluster response on her heel persona and Liv is the perfect option for dropping the belt. Becky is already a well established star and losing a match to Liv will not harm her momentum or stardom. But, for Liv this will be huge and she’ll jump straight to the top of the women’s division.
Prediction: Liv Morgan
The Usos (c) Vs. The New Day – Smackdown Tag Team Championships
Nothing much to say about Usos Vs New Day. Both the teams already proved their potential in WWE and we don’t think that dropping the title to Woods and Kingston will be a good decision for WWE. If Roman is losing the title to Lesnar in the main event, then it might be a good decision that Usos drops their titles to New Day. This will give another layer to the story of Bloodline.
Winner: The Usos
RK-Bro (c) Vs. Street Profits – RAW Tag Team Championships
RK-Bro is the best thing in WWE right now after The Bloodline storyline. This is the team which is carrying the entire red brand from several months. We don’t see that they are dropping the titles to Street profits. We might see some sort of tussle between Riddle and Orton to set up a split. It’s crystal clear that Riddle and Orton will face each other at Mania 38 but sometimes we just don’t want to see this amazing team spilt-up as they’re the soul of RAW.
Winner: RK-Bro
Ricochet & Cesaro Vs. Sheamus & Ridge Holland
A surprise entry in the entire match card with no proper build-up and in our opinion it’s just a filler match with three of the best athletes in the blue brand with one NXT call-up. We really feel bad for Cesaro and Ricochet as they both are the most underutilised wrestlers in the company. After losing to Reigns, Cesaro momentum just went downhill and he’s just in some filler matches in Smackdown, Ricochet is so unfortunate that he doesn’t have enough TV time to appear on the show. Let’s hope for the best for both of them and we predict to see the babyface wins this bout.
Winner: Ricochet & Cesaro
Edge’s insertion on Raw during Draft was meant to come up with some fresh feuds and it begins with the program against The Miz. The two-most decorated Superstars in WWE history are likely to deliver a classic with Edge being the expected winner. We also expect a sudden return from Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix (Edge’s wife) to prohibit ringside shenanigans by Maryse.
Prediction: Edge
Drew McIntyre Vs. Madcap Moss
The worst match in the entire card, McIntyre having the worst time after getting drafted to Smackdown. If Drew will face Corbin that makes much sense but Drew facing Moss is just a waste of time. This should be a squash match with a dominant win by te Scottish Warrior.
Winner: Drew McIntyre
