WrestleMania

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes are set to square off in the main event on Sunday night in Los Angeles.

Yes, Edge and Phoenix beat Ripley and Balor in a tag match at Elimination Chamber, but a simple tag win doesn't feel like appropriate payback for the attack on Edge's wife, nor all the other times Balor has violently gotten the best of Edge. Edge has been great in the ring and inconsistent on the microphone since returning from a seemingly career-ending injury. They are by far the most cohesive team in this makeshift match and have the most star power. Sheamus, one of WWE's most underappreciated talents, doesn't seem as though he's set for a run with the belt and McIntyre doesn't need the strap. Intercontinental Championship -- Gunther (c) vs. Rhodes has quickly established himself as one of WWE's top stars, has crossover interest of the AEW audience, quickly became a top merchandise-seller and is red hot with momentum. Pick: Bianca Belair to retain the title -- Mahjouri (also Brookhouse) Pair that with the fact that Belair is a reliable champion and Rhea Ripley -- who also has a dark, brooding persona -- should be favored to beat Flair, and Asuka's chances are slim. WWE has really dropped the ball with the introduction of Asuka's darker side. There is no real choice for WWE but to put the title on Rhodes here. Reigns, meanwhile, has held the universal championship since August 2020 and unified the belt with the WWE championship at last year's WrestleMania. While there is always excitement heading into WrestleMania, the second night of this weekend's WrestleMania 39 has a little something extra.

The WWE WrestleMania two-day wrestling event is highly anticipated this year, with a lineup that can only be described as a dream.

Lynch and Lita challenged for and won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship from Sky and Kai when Trish Stratus returned to prevent Bayley from interfering. During a cage match between Bayley and Lynch, Lita returned to help even the score by preventing Sky and Kai from interfering in the match. Becky has been saying that Becky has been an albatross around Kai and Sky’s career who has seen several setbacks since allying with Bayley. Ripley journey led her to win the 2023 women’s Royal Rumble match and afterword chose to challenge Flair for Flair’s WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship. Prediction and analysis: Theory wins but the real question is will he win over fans who doubt him. Charlotte Flair shocked WWE fans when she chose to challenge Rhea Ripley for the NXT Women’s Championship after Flair won the 2020 women’s Royal Rumble match. Night 1 opens with a test for Austin Theory as he puts his WWE United States Championship on the line against John Cena in an attempt to solidify his stature in the WWE. Dominick took out Edge and his father and struck up a relationship with Ripley and the rest of Judgment Day. The two crossed paths a few more times with Logan getting the better of Rollins by knocking Rollins out with lucky punches, continuing to sell the idea that all Logan needs is to land one lucky punch to win a match. Back at SummerSlam 2022, Bayley returned from injury and brought with her Dakota Kai and Io Shirai (now Iyo Sky), and together confronted Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch. When Cena appeared on Raw in Boston where Theory confronted him, Theory’s idea being that he would take the torch from Cena. Logan Paul returned at 2023’s Royal Rumble as a surprise entrant and eliminated Seth Rollins.

Rhea Ripley for the Smackdown Women’s Championship, Rey Mysterio vs. Austin Theory for the United States Championship, Charlotte Flair vs. Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship, John Cena vs.

WWE returns to Hollywood for its latest installment of WrestleMania. The match card features superstars Roman Reigns, John Cena and Cody Rhodes.

The Usos will defend their tag team championship against Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. The second-generation wrestlers have a lot of similarities as both their fathers are WWE royalty. The Bloodline has dominated the WWE product for nearly three years. WrestleMania 39 will begin with WWE legend John Cena. WrestleMania 39 is slated to have 13 total matches across both nights. The main event will feature current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns defending his title against popular superstar Cody Rhodes.

WWE has plenty of choices for which match should go on last on the first night of “WrestleMania 39” on Saturday, but one option is better than the rest.

WrestleMania 39, World Wrestling Entertainment's biggest show of the year, takes place April 1-2 at SoFi Stadium in California. Here's a look at the card ...

If anyone should dethrone Reigns — who will have held the universal title for 941 days come Sunday — it should be him. In all honestly, these two are the only ones who are actually a team. Now both will be in the match. Asuka is an amazing wrestler and has recently readopted her spookier persona from her days in Japan. Why you should care: Lesnar is a beast in the ring — the best combination of power, size and athleticism of his generation. Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler vs. Why you should care: This is the best storyline in the world of pro wrestling. Why you should care: This match could low key be a show stealer. A victory over Lita, Lynch and Stratus would be a breath of fresh air for the team. Why you should care: Lita and Stratus were two of the biggest stars in the women’s division in the early 2000s, creating a standard in the ring when women were used mostly as eye candy by the company. Now that he’s moved pretty much fully into the world of acting, his appearances in the ring will be fewer and further in between moving forward. It’s the third straight year, the event will be broken up into two separate nights.
