It"s nearly the end of the year, and the official Road to WrestleMania is inching closer and closer. I figure the Mania card is probably starting to come into shape for real, so maybe people can share their cards here. I came up with one because I"m a big loser who thinks too much about wrestling . I tried to keep it realistic as something that WWE might actually do.
WrestleMania 33:
Bill Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar:
This one is easy, we pretty much know this is happening at Mania. They'll interact in the Rumble and likely cause each others elimination. We'll see how this goes, I expect it to be an actual match this time and I also expect Brock to win it and send Goldberg on his way into retirement.
The Undertaker vs John Cena:
I think this is the match that they wanted to do last year until Cena's injury and the return of Shane. This year hopefully both guys stay healthy and we see it. Probably the two biggest stars the company has right now all told. Cena has done it all and wants to beat Taker and then go for his 16th title to cap his career.
Seth Rollins vs Triple H:
Seth continues to talk about wanting to fight Triple H and get revenge and I doubt he's doing that for nothing. I think Trips will make an appearance pretty soon and things will escalate. Hopefully Rollins/HHH is a better match than his Shield compatriot Reigns last year and I think it will.
Kevin Owens (c) vs Chris Jericho vs Finn Balor - WWE Universal Championship
The Owens/Jericho breakup and feud will really kickstart soon most likely, and given how long they've built it I think it has the legs they might be able to take it to Mania. I added Finn to the match because he could be ready to come back around then and they could easily add him on the premise he never lost the title.
AJ Styles (c) vs Samoa Joe - WWE World Championship
This is me fantasy booking lol. But I figure there aren't many potential challengers for AJ that would be any sort of interesting match unless Cena goes here. I think Joe will be on the main roster by then and he'll be on SD, so I'll say they rekindle their TNA rivalry which would be pretty crazy to see on this kind of stage.
Charlotte vs Sasha Banks (c) vs Bayley - WWE Raw Women's Championship
I fought with this being a singles match and it might be. I just can't see how Charlotte isn't in this match somehow given how high on her they are. I'll say all of them are in and hopefully we can get a badass match from the three.
Nikki Bella (c) vs Becky Lynch - WWE Smackdown Women's Championship
I love Alexa but I don't see her still being champion here. I think Nikki takes it off of her and we get a one on one with the two biggest female stars on the SD roster.
Braun Stroman (c) vs Roman Reigns - WWE United States Championship
I think there's a solid chance Roman is in the title picture somehow and it's hard to see him being this far down the card. But I"ll say Braun takes the title off of Reigns and then Roman gets the chance to win it back here and give Braun his first loss ever at Mania no less, still a pretty big moment for him without overexposing him at Mania again.
The Miz (c) vs Dean Ambrose vs Baron Corbin vs Kalisto vs Dolph Ziggler vs Apollo Crews vs Luke Harper- IC Title Ladder match
Random ladder match with a bunch of people involved. I could have just done Miz vs Dean 1 on 1 but I don't see them doing that when they're already feuding on SD right now in December. So add a few more guys and do the big spot ladder match they love to do. Apollo and Corbin get the chance to impress with the vets too.
New Day vs Enzo & Cass vs The Club vs Cesaro & Sheamus - Raw Tag Team Championship
It's Mania, we got to get a lot of people on the card and the lower card is where to do it. This is the bulk of Raw's tag division and could be a fun little sprint. I don't think New Day are champs here it'll probably be one of the other teams though. I could substitute The Revival in here if they debut by then and one of these other teams like Cesaro/Sheamus or New Day have split.
Randy Orton & Bray Wyatt (c) vs American Alpha - Smackdown Tag Team Championship
I'll say Bray and Orton retain until Mania and have a good solid run. Build up Alpha for the big payoff with them being the ones to take the straps off of the Wyatts. It could be a real launching pad for Alpha to beat two established singles stars for their first titles.
PRE SHOW:
Rich Swann (c) vs Brian Kendrick vs TJ Perkins vs Gran Metalik vs Jack Gallagher vs Cedric Alexander - WWE Cruiserweight Championship
The cruiserweight division has struggled and I don't see it changing enough by Mania to get them off the preshow unfortunately. I'll say they try and squeeze a bunch of guys in here for a six pack challenge and hopefully we see a fun sprint where they all get a chance to impress.
Everyone else - Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale:
The annual tradition for people we can't fit onto the show in a proper match. I'll give Rusev the win here as I feel bad for not being able to fit him in anywhere else even though he deserves it.
