Wrestlemania 32 Previews and Predictions

Tonight WWE's biggest event of the year takes place live from AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. This is it wrestling fans, our Super Bowl Sunday has finally arrived. With this being Wrestlemania speculation is running wild about what will take place tonight. Rumored to return are Cesaro, Randy Orton, John Cena and even Bill Goldberg. Legends such as Shawn Michaels, The Rock, Stone Cold and Mick Foley are all scheduled to appeared in some capacity. Hulk Hogan probably won't be in attendence though...The main events of this card are Dean Ambrose vs. Brock Lesnar, Triple H vs. Roman Reigns, and The Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon.

The Usos vs. The Dudley Boyz

Taji: Why are they feuding again? The Usos are staler than stale and the Dudley Boyz are older than old so I could care less about this match. Winner: Usos just because they’re the babyfaces

BDJ: Taji said it best, the babyfaces win because they’re babyfaces. Honestly, it seems like the Dudley Boyz return to Wrestlemania after all these years would have been presented as a bigger deal. Winner: Usos

Sio: I'm an Uso fan and there is no possible way for me to care even a little bit less about this match. There was barely any build up and out of the buildup there was it was super stale. Winner: Usos because they are the good guys

Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

Taji: What performers are in this? I’m serious, I genuinely can only think of 2 wrestlers and nobody cares about them at this point in their careers. Winner: Somebody who is going to get a push then will never be heard from again in a week or two.

BDJ: The problem with this match is that the winner doesn't win anything but a trophy. We have yet to see winners of this battle royal gain positive momentum afterwards. I’m thinking that there are three ways that this match can go. Someone from the Wyatt Family will win, a returning superstar will win, or an NXT superstar will get a call up. My guess is that we see Cesaro return to become the first two time winner of the ‘Dre. Winner: Cesaro

Sio: If Braun Strowman is participating, then Braun Strowman is winning. Since debuting he has been billed almost as unbeatable as he is unable to be knocked down. I don't see them ruining that reputation for a lost in the memorial match. Winner: Braun Strowman

Total Divas (Paige, Brie Bella, Natalya, Alicia Fox & Eva Marie) vs. “BAD & Blonde” (Emma, Lana, Naomi Tamina & Summer Rae)

Taji: No idea what’s going on with this feud either, but Paige is a great performer and Naomi is very underrated and underused. Winner: Bad & Blonde and Naomi gets a push then eventually challenges the Divas/Womens champion. Wishful thinking I guess.

BDJ: I think that the WWE is going to learn from Eva Marie’s negative reactions and put her in a position to be one of the biggest heels in the Diva’s division. Eva will turn on her cast mates to give Bad & Blonde a victory. Winner: “BAD & Blonde”

Sio: The most irritating thing about when the Total Divas show comes back on, the constant “push” of total divas in the ring. Team Total Divas just so happen to be missing their main attraction in Nikki Bella, so I don't see them having a good night. Winner: “BAD & Blonde”. You gotta give it to them, great name.

United States Championship Match: Kalisto vs. Ryback

Taji: I actually enjoy Ryback’s in ring work. Especially his feud with Bray over the summer when he was pulling out cruiserweight type moves. I think he has the support of the behind the scenes guys in the WWE while Kalisto is just a filler champion. Winner: Ryback

BDJ: This title went from John Cena’s waist to being defended on the preshow. I feel that this match would have been better served as the multiman match with Kevin Owens receiving the one on one match, but that’s not where we are. I think that the company wants to build Ryback up into a credible heel (unless a certain samoan turns heel soon) so I see him winning. Winner: Ryback

Sio: What happened to the let's make every title prestigious again? This title has been through some things, from changing hands in the matter of 24 hours to being defended on the preshow. I'll pick a winner, but no one cares either way. Winner: Ryback

Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match: Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn vs. Stardust vs. The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Zack Ryder vs. Sin Cara

Taji: Let’s get one thing straight, as a fan (or stan) of Kevin Owens, I am absolutely livid at the fact that this is his Wrestlemania match. I’m sure he’s going to make the best of this match, but as the second best heel behind Seth Rollins (sorry, Bray Wyatt) this past year, the Prizefighter deserves to be apart of the upper echelon of Wrestlemania matches. I have no desire to see any performers in this match except for Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Therefore, I’m hoping we get to witness at least a solid four minutes of action just between Kevin Steen and El Generico. Winner: Zack Ryder! Ha, sike, Kevin Owens for sure.

BDJ: Kevin Owens is one of the most entertaining acts on the card. He’s done a good job bringing prominence to the Intercontinental Championship so I don’t see him losing the title here. Hopefully we get a build up to the Owens/Zayn feud that we’ve been waiting for coming out of this match. I'm hoping Sinc Cara pulls out a crazy spot in this one too. Winner: Kevin Owens

Sio: I have the feeling that this match is going to steal the show, this one or the Divas triple threat match. With that being said, If KO isn't booked to be completely unstoppable this match could go a number of ways and there's a number of ways we know it won't go. Zack will never win, Stardust will never win and Sin Cara will never win. After eliminating the obvious I'm gonna stay hopeful and say when the match is over the song that will be playing will go a little something like this “I'm here to show the world!” Winner: Dolph Ziggler

Divas Championship Match: Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks

Taji: I’m predicting this to be an amazing match. Like potential show stealer. Yeah, it’s going to be that good. All three of these women can go. Give these women 15-20 minutes to perform and I guarantee we’ll be discussing this as one of the best matches in 2016. Winner: Sasha Ba(e)nks

BDJ: I’m thinking that Sasha wins this match, my only concern is that Snoop Dogg gets involved in a gimmicky way. Rumor has it that we’ll see the Divas title retired tonight so any of these women would be a good choice to carry the rebranded women’s division into the future. I'm just hoping for a great match. Winner: Sasha Banks

Sio: This match is going to be at least top two of the night, each one of these competitors have proven that they can have match of the night at any given time. With the proper time slot, this match will for sure steal the show. Winner: The Boss Sasha Banks

Tag Team Champions The New Day vs. The League of Nations

Taji: New Day suc...rocks? The Unicorns are full fledged babyfaces now which means I might eventually get a little tired of them pandering to the crowd, but these guys are just so entertaining. Oh, and the League of Nations are in this match as well. This stable had so much potential, but of course the booking failed them. Sad to see my mans King Barrett’s last days in WWE end like this. Winner: New Day rocks!

BDJ: I’m going to be controversial and say that the League of Nations are taking this one. As far as I know this is a 3 on 4 non-title match so, I could see the League of Nations winning to set up a championship program going forward. Be on the look out for the New Day's entrance though, I've heard some crazy rumors. Winner: League of Nations

Sio: AHHHHH DALLAS DON'T YOU DARE BE SOUR! CLAP FOR YOUR TWO TIME CHAMPS AND FEEL THE POWER! IT'S A NEW DAY YES IT IS! New Day Rocks! New Day Rocks! Take a guess who I'm predicting? New Day are as hot as ever, and they continue to get hotter, literally every week. Oh yeah, the League Of Nations are in this match as well. Winner: Don't you dare be sour! Clap for your Winners! New Day!

Chris Jericho vs. AJ Styles

Taji: These guys have wrestled three times within three months already. The fourth match at Wrestlemania will put them on par with Randy Orton and John Cena. Just kidding. I still have high hopes for this match, it just feels like we won’t see anything that we didn’t already see at Fastlane, but that match was still very good so I won’t complain. Winner: AJ Styles

BDJ: First things first I’m happy for AJ Styles. I honestly never thought I would see him on this stage so this is kind of surreal. Styles wins this match and keep moving up the card throughout the year. This hasn’t been the best feud, but these are two professionals on the biggest stage of them all so I have high expectations. Show stealing expectations. Winner: AJ Styles

Sio: It seems as though Y2J has made it his personal goal to put AJ over, which clearly is not needed, he's as over as ever no matter who he's fighting. Don't get me wrong, these two have had some great matches and AJ has proven he can have great matches with other competitors as well. Winner: AJ Styles

Dean Ambrose vs. Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman) in a No Holds Barred Street Fight

Taji: No way the WWE allows Brock Lesnar to lose two Wrestlemanias in a row, right? While I’m 98 percent sure that’s the case, I have a gut feeling that the WWE finally recognizes how great of a talent Dean Ambrose actually is. If this was booked as an actual straight up wrestling match, Brock would dominate the Lunatic Fringe, but seeing that it is a street fight, this allows Dean to actually beat the Beast Incarnate while preventing his legacy from being tarnished. Winner: Dean Ambrose

BDJ: My money is on Brock Lesnar. The stipulation ensures that this match will be entertaining but Brock is still the biggest attraction in the company. Dean Ambrose has the potential to be the top babyface in the WWE so he’ll definitely get a lot of offense in, but I see a scenario where Ambrose passes out or loses in spectacular fashion to preserve his momentum. This should be a star making match for Ambrose similar to Austin at WM13. Winner: Brock Lesnar

Sio: Am I the only one who feels like Dean getting the torch passed down to him from the hardcore greats legendary? That angle alone was astonishing, and then Dean took his wagon to the ring, completely ignored Brock, gathered his toys and kept it moving, LEGENDARY. Dean will be the conqueror tonight. Winner: Dean Ambrose

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match: Triple H vs. Roman Reigns

Taji: Why doesn’t anybody like Roman Reigns again? The Big Dog can wrestle and isn’t afraid to take bumps. I like this dude and while I love Triple H, they should’ve taken the past year to build up a full time heel for Reigns to face. WWE continues to shoot themselves in the foot due to the weak booking, so the fans have no desire to see this match. BUT that won’t stop these two performers from going to hell and back to put on an amazing show which I know they will do with the help of Roman’s superstar cousin. Winner: Roman Reigns

BDJ: There’s no way that Roman Reigns doesn’t win this match. This is a story they’ve been telling since 2014 so it will culminate here in one way or another. There’s a question whether John Cena or The Rock will get involved here but I think that Roman gets the clean win in the middle of the ring. The heel turn is coming though. Winner: Roman Reigns

Sio: Imagine a world, where they let Roman turn heel, and booked them how they booked Brock, an angry, unstoppable, hostile monster. The heat he would have would be monumental. I'll be hopeful and say we get a heel turn. Winner: Roman Reigns

Shane McMahon vs. The Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell

Taji: This is going to be a spotfest and I will love every single second of it. The Authority has to go and that will certainly happen. I see either Undertaker not appreciating being used as Vince’s pawn so he allows Shane to win or some major interference or interferences in Shane’s favor. Winner: Shane McMahon

BDJ: Call me crazy, I think Shane McMahon is winning this match. There’s a lot riding on Shane O’Mac here. A victory literally means taking control of the company. Fans are looking for a breath of fresh air, Shane getting a win and gaining ownership of Raw would do just that. You know we;re gettting a crazy spot tonight too. I'm excited! Winner: Shane McMahon

Sio: Here comes the money! Who would have thought that that would receive the biggest pop of the year? I just have some inklings, if the authority were gonna be dethroned, wouldn't they have cared about it a little more? At least mention the possibility, just once? Those thoughts alone make me believe Taker is gonna win no matter how bad I want Shane to win. This match is going to be a figurative blood bath, Shane isn't afraid to take any bump at all, he's going to perform and hopefully he won't fall short. Winner: The Deadman

Taji: Side note: Man, I miss Randy Orton and Seth Rollins. :(
