Predicting Cody vs. Roman and KO/Sami vs. Usos winners?

[The Rick Jericho]

Which set of winners do you see walking out of Wrestlemania 39?

[1 Free Moon-Down with Burger]

It better be Cody and Sami/KO. I’ll tell you that much.

It absolutely has to be. It'll be perfect.

Any of Cody/Sami/KO going down with debilitating injury in the next 2 weeks is the only reason they shouldn't all be walking out of Mania on top and as we saw with Cody last year he'd probably work with an arm falling off anyway before he'd ever give up his Mania main event.

They've been lucky with Mania main events over the years actually. It would be a complete disaster if like the top guy picked up a freak injury in the gym or on a house show a week or two before. I think Angle/Lesnar in 03 is the only time they were actually really close to having to change the main event last minute due to injury.

[The Rick Jericho]

Looks like so far, everyone agrees. This show has to be the end of the Bloodline and we come out of this show with a fresh look.

[Mayonnaise]

Sami and KO seems a lock. The questions around Jey make it easy to book.

I'm only 60/40 on Cody taking the title. Even if he wins I can't help but think it has some sort of Dusty finish leading to the belts being split.

Yes, agree there. Cody's initial focus being the WWE title and Reigns' nearing 1000 days as Universal has me fearing the gosh darn worst. I mean, why not at this stage? I've been so ready for at least 1 world title to be back in rotation for ages that I'll take any bone thrown at this stage.

[Chiral]

I hope they don't, but I fear they're gonna get cold feet on Cody and stick with the default because 1000 days. I'm bracing for one of the turd endings we always get with Roman's title matches over this three year title reign. If this thing limps along further past WM it's gonna be real clear they missed too many major opportunities to end it when they should've.

[Brickstone Kid]

I think Roman will win while Usos lose. Not saying that's how it should be, but I could just see them holding off on the big title switch for another month. Maybe they want to get Roman to 1000 days.

[Lizuka #BLM]

I'm thinking Sami & KO and Roman.

[XIII]

I voted a Bloodline sweep. If the last 3 years or so have taught me nothing else it’s to expect them to win every time. I think that the 1000 day reign may be too tempting and with SummerSlam becoming the Summer Wrestlemania I can 100% see them trying to stretch it at least to there.

[ghost]

I think Sami/Owens are definitely winning. I can see why there would be some hesitation with the Reigns/Cody finish. I think Cody is winning it, but we may never get to another point where a world champion is flirting with 1000 days as champion. It's tempting to at least hit that mark and then have Roman drop it after that, but that would come at the risk of Luger'ing Cody's push.

I think the logical thing would have been to have this match be just for the WWE championship and have Roman continue the Universal reign so he can drop it to Jey down the road, but that would have also made the finish more predictable.

[1 Free Moon-Down with Burger]

Yeah I’m worried about the Roman/Cody result more than anything because wrestling companies ALWAYS chase money and don’t know how to end things at their peak.

From Verne Gagne deciding not to pull the trigger on Hogan winning the world title because “the chase is making a bunch of money”

To the nWo not ending when it had TWO perfect off ramp endings.

They could cap off the story in a big definitive way at Mania and absolutely skyrocket three babyfaces over the course of two nights. They need to get off the bus before they enjoy the ride so much they miss their stop.

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

There’s a lil doubt with Cody/Roman but ngl, I kind of love it’s there in the 1st place lmao

[Legion]

I could absolutely see them swerving with Cody/Roman and having Roman retain - but I also feel like Cody got a 'Mania title win put in his contract.

[Renslayer]

I think the bloodline (except solo if he has a match) get swept at mania.

What was the plan b for angle if he couldn't have been able to wrestle mania 19? Would it have been someone like benoit taking his place in the main to face off against brock?

[Deleted]

If WWE does anything else but have the Bloodline complete collapse by losing all their titles to the respective challengers at Mania then they will have f***ed up this entire thing.

There is no 2nd try at this because if they try and drag it out till summerslam..everyone is just gonna be in"get this over with already should have happened months ago" mode by that time.

The entire story has been great so far...but if they fart up the ending no one will talk about anything else except how they completely botched it at the end.

IIRC Benoit was going to take Angle's spot yeah, I believe he was in the tag title match so he could've easily been pulled into the main event.

Even if they for some reason want hijinks to split the belts, do those later. The visual of the faces with six title belts is too important to get right, right now.

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

WWE has a lot of momentum right now, that will all come crashing down if the Bloodline don’t get swept at Mania
