All righty, we've had the Rumble, it... wasn't great, but as it stands we have winners and they're getting title shots. So let's start throwing out predictions for this much-ballyhooed "stupendous" two-night WrestleMania, shall we? I'll try and use this as a rumour collator thread as well.
---
CONFIRMED
WINNER TAKES ALL MATCH FOR BOTH THE WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP Roman Reigns (Universal Champion) v Brock Lesnar (WWE Champion and Royal Rumble Winner)
Nominally, Lesnar still had the option to challenge WWE Champion Bobby Lashley in a rematch from Rumble (which was the only reason why it started at "highly likely" and not out-and-out confirmed), but literally everything on and off screen was pointing to a third Lesnar v Reigns WrestleMania match. It's happening, make peace with your loved ones and accept it.
1/31 RAW - Confirmed. With Lesnar also scheduled to be in the Elimination Chamber match for Bobby Lashley's WWE Championship, it is within the realms of possibility that this could be for both world championships 2/19 Chamber - Lesnar wins WWE Championship, match now for both belts
WWE SMACKDOWN WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Charlotte Flair (c) v Ronda Rousey (Royal Rumble Winner)
A match with RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch was rumoured to be planned, but this is now rumoured to be held off until next WrestleMania. Both the Lesnar and Rousey wins appear to have been something made to appease SmackDown broadcaster FOX in the name of "starpower".
1/31 RAW - Rousey will announce her choice on 2/4 SmackDown 2/4 SmackDown - Confirmed. Flair is scheduled to defend the belt on 2/11 against Naomi, but this seems merely a token defense to build the long-running Naomi v Sonya Deville feud
WWE RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Becky Lynch (c) v Bianca Belair
The match is official, but the participants won’t be until after the Elimination Chamber show on 2/19, where the championship will be defended and #1 Contender match held. Highly likely to be Becky Lynch v Bianca Belair to pay off the long-simmering feud started by Lynch’s return and quick title win at Belair’s expense at last year’s SummerSlam.
2/19 Chamber - Confirmed. Belair won Chamber, Lynch retained
AJ Styles v Edge
Drew McIntyre v Happy Corbin
The Mysterios (Rey and Dominik) v The Miz and Logan Paul
Johnny Knoxville v Sami Zayn
Pat McAfee v Austin Theory
WWE WOMEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Carmella and Queen Zelina (c) v Sasha Banks and Naomi

Post by Some Baritone guy IS REDEEMED! on Jan 30, 2022 11:47:41 GMT -5
I'm going to actually make a prediction which might surprise people for the night 2 main event.
A recurring theme in Roman's Title run up to this point has been him rectifying his past failures.
His inability to outshine the stars of his generation? Wins the belt by beating Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt, his two biggest rivals of his generation.
Constantly being overshadowed by the popularity of the likes of Daniel Bryan? Beats him conclusively and runs him out of WWE for good.
Never quite becoming the face of the company the way WWE had hoped? Dominates and beats the man he was supposed to succeed, John Cena.
Not being able to achieve any effective retribution for the dissolving of the Shield? Savagely beats Seth Rollins with a chair after choking him out.
At this point there's only 2 real "Failures" he has yet to actually rectify.
The first is the obvious one: Conclusively defeat Brock Lesnar. This is the one that most people would assume is going to be rectified at Wresltemania, but there's another one people forget, and one that after last night, I'm about 60% sure they're going to deal with first.
Wrestlemania 31. The moment that was meant to be his coronation, the moment where he was to defeat Brock Lesnar and finally take his place as the face of the company, only to have Seth Rollins cash in Money in the Bank and steal the moment out from under him. This leads me to my prediction:
WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) Vs. Seth Rollins Vs. Brock Lesnar.
They played far too much into Seth Rollins getting into Roman's head to simply end this with Roman getting DQ'd and then delivering a brutal post match ass kicking. To move Rollins into the WWE title match at that point just doesn't look good as it would feature twice over that the WWE title got chumped by Roman Reigns in that the current champion is only champion because Roman let him win, and the challenger only didn't get beat due to bad luck on Roman's part.
From a storytelling perspective this makes a ton of sense, and from WWE's perspective it lets them keep milking of the last genuinely interesting feuds Roman has until the Rock and Roman have their dream match for a little while longer.

Raw Women's Title - Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair
WWE Title - Bobby Lashley vs. Seth Rollins
Edge vs. AJ Styles
Randy Orton vs. Riddle
Goldberg v Big E

Everyone will think I'm crazy, but I think they can go with a Drew McIntyre/Pat McAfee vs Corbin & Moss. Mcafee has been increasing the rhetoric on how he dislikes them & Drew needs something to do before he moves back into the title picture.

A current WWE style Mania
Night 1 Charlotte v Ronda, womens title Damien Priest vs Bad Bunny, US title Usos v New Day, tag titles Edge v Austin Theory All the other Women in a Battle Royal won by Tamina
Night 2 Brock v Reigns, title for title Becky v Bianca, womens title Owens and Rollins vs RK-Bro, tag titles Bella Twins v Zelina and Carmella, womens tag titles Sami Zayn v Knoxville All the other men in a Battle Royal won by Madcap Moss
Less matches but they had to axe AJ, Lashley, Drew for all the time wasting commercials and filler.

Third match locked in. Lynch v Belair.
And now we're teasing a tag match with Miz and "someone he's calling up" against the Mysterios.
