WrestleMania 33 matches
Universal Championship -- Goldberg (c) vs. Brock Lesnar: As expected, Goldberg beat Kevin Owens at Fastlane for the title, putting this clash between two part-time superstars with a combined age of 89 as the main event for WWE’s signature show each year.
WWE Championship -- Bray Wyatt (c) vs. Randy Orton: This is now officially official after Orton beat AJ Styles on Tuesday to become the No. 1 contender he already was after winning the Royal Rumble. WWE felt the need to take the long road to get here despite Orton earning the shot over a month ago, but it still worked its way out.
The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns: First teased in the Royal Rumble, Taker-Reigns was setup perfectly by WWE after Reigns dispatched Braun Strowman at Fastlane. The Dead Man makes sense as the next obstacle for him to overcome. Somehow, I feel like Strowman will still figure into this. Hopefully not.
United States Championship -- Chris Jericho (c) vs. Kevin Owens: This match was a shoe-in for WrestleMania as soon as Jericho agreed on Owens’ behalf to fight Goldberg for the universal title. Glad to see the title will be on the line here and won’t be surprised if some stipulation is added before the big show.
AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon: Still waiting for a stipulation to be added, but after Styles’ attack on McMahon during SmackDown on Tuesday, McMahon came out and officially challenged him to a match. That’s as good as official at this point.
John Cena & Nikki Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse: Cena won the WWE title at Royal Rumble and has now been relegated to a mixed tag match with his girlfriend against one of his oldest rivals and his wife at WrestleMania. It became official on SmackDown and something tells me, based on the way the angle went, we might see a proposal.
Raw Tag Team Championship -- Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson (c) vs. Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs. Cesaro & Sheamus: The No. 1 contenders match on Raw was interrupted by Gallows & Anderson, leaving general manager Mick Foley the opening to book a triple threat match.
SmackDown Women’s Championship -- Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Entire SmackDown roster: Rather than go one-on-one with Becky Lynch, Bliss will face “every available woman on the SmackDown roster,” likely meaning everyone except Nikki Bella, Maryse and possibly Naomi, depending on her health.
Cruiserweight Championship -- Neville (c) vs. Austin Airies: After taking the No. 1 contender’s match on 205 Live, Airies will fight Neville for the strap.
Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal: Mojo Rawley, Apollo Crews and Big Show have been announced as participants. Will Shaquille O’Neal make an appearance for a second-straight year?
WrestleMania 33 predictions
Seth Rollins vs. Triple H: Contingent on Rollins’ health after he tore his MCL following an attack by Samoa Joe on Raw. Rollins recently returned to Raw and said he would be at WrestleMania, though he is still recovering from the knee injury. If he is somehow not cleared in time, I could see Joe roughing him up before the match and a replacement (Finn Balor?) shocking the world with a return to fill in for Rollins.
Intercontinental Championship -- Dean Ambrose (c) vs. Baron Corbin (Falls Count Anywhere): There’s a lot of ways WWE can go with this match, but the IC title is being wasted right now on Ambrose. Corbin made his presence known one year ago at WrestleMania and could walk out of Orlando with one of the company’s most prestigious titles. Corbin finally challenged Ambrose to the match on SmackDown. It seems like this will be a stipulation match, and my guess is falls counting anywhere.
SmackDown Tag Team Championship -- American Alpha (c) vs. The Usos: The real build for this match started weeks ago and then took a week off before The Usos beat Alpha clean on Tuesday.
Too early to call: Samoa Joe, Finn Balor (?)
