I am heading out to NYC right now. Here is my brief preview for WrestleMania 29. I hope everyone enjoys the show!
Wade Barrett (c) v miz - Intercontinental Championship Pre-Show YouTube Match
Barrett has done nothing recently. I expect miz to win the belt to be a "big" way to kick off the show.
Prediction: miz - New Intercontinental Champion
Tons of Funk and The Funkadactyls vs The Rhodes Scholars and The Bella Twins
The heels have more upside and should go over.
Prediction: The Rhodes Scholars and The Bella Twins
Chris Jericho vs Fandango
Fandango has become the NTWT darling (not mine). He's making his debut and should get the win here.
Prediction: Fandango
Team Hell No (c) vs Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston w/ AJ Lee - WWE Tag Team Championship Match
Team Hell No has done nothing with the titles in months. The heels should get the titles, and hopefully somehow AJ gets injured.
Prediction: Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston - New WWE Tag Team Champions
Ryback vs Mark Henry
Proof that a simple storyline still works to build a match. I would like Mark Henry to go over because WWE needs top heels, but Ryback will probably get the win.
Prediction: Ryback
Randy Orton, Sheamus, The Big Show vs The Shield
The Shield should go over to keep their momentum. I'm predicting a short match with both Orton and Big Show turning on Sheamus. Not joining The Shield, just turning heel.
Prediction: The Shield
Alberto Del Rio (c) vs Jack Swagger - World Heavyweight Championship Match
Neither man is over like they should be, but WWE seems determined to get Del Rio over, so he retains.
Prediction: Alberto Del Rio - Retains World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H with Shawn Michaels in His Corner vs Brock Lesnar - No Holds Barred with Triple H's Career on the Line
Everyone assumes Hunter is getting his revenge on Brock here, but I just have a strange feeling that Brock gets the win. Will Shawn cost Triple H the match? We'll see.
Prediction: Brock Lesnar
The Undertaker vs CM Punk
Punk has promised to do anything he has to do to win, even if it's via DQ or count out. Will Undertaker continue the Streak moving to 21-0? I have a strange feeling that Paul Bearer may come from beyond the grave to help Taker get the win.
Prediction: The Undertaker
The Rock (c) vs John Cena - WWE Championship Match
The match that is twice in a lifetime. This is the conclusion of a two year long storyline. Will John Cena finally prove himself to be better than The Rock? Or will The Rock once again cause John Cena's life to go into a tailspin? Despite the wishes of the live WrestleMania crowd, I think John Cena is walking out of MetLife Stadium as the new WWE Champion.
Prediction: John Cena - New WWE Champion
