WWE WrestleMania 27 Predictions

Hello friends! The premilinaries are over and now it's time for the main event! So with that let's get right down to business! Here are my predictions for the biggest event in all of Wrestling WrestleMania 27!

Kane, The Big Show, Santino Marella, and Kofi Kingston vs. The Corre (Wade Barrett, Ezekiel Jackson, Justin Gabriel, and Heath Slater)

On Saturday afternoon I received a phone call from my partner in crime Mike Flecha and he informed me that Vladimir Kozlov was attacked by The Corre during his WrestleMania Axxess match with Tyler Reks and because of that attack Vladimir Kozlov may not be able to compete in this 8 man tag match! If that is the case then Kofi Kingston will most likely be Kozlov's replacement and what a replacement that is! However even with Kofi in this match I am still going to go with The Corre to win this match as they are the dominant force in WWE right now and I expect this stable to receive a big time push beyond WrestleMania! As for this match I can honestly say that I expect this fight to most likely be the worst fight of the night and I can also say that out of all the matches on this card this is the only match I am really not looking forward to. Sorry!

Winners: The Corre

WWE United States Championship Match: Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan

The match these 2 had on Raw a few weeks ago was a very good match to say the least! As for the rematch well all I can hope for is that these 2 get at least 10 minutes and if so then this could be a sleeper pick for fight of the night! But sadly because of the other great matches on this card I really doubt that this fight will get the 10 minutes I hope it gets. I think it is going to be a TV quality match at best but I hope that I am proven wrong and these 2 put on a damn near instant classic! As for who wins well I have to go with the champ to successfully defend the U.S. strap in what I hope will be a fun and entertaining match like their match on Raw was a few weeks ago!

Winner: Sheamus

Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes

Reportedly backstage Rey Mysterio handpicked Cody Rhodes to be his WrestleMania opponent this year how cool is that? Anyways the build for this match has been pretty good! It all started several months ago when Rey Rey exposed his knee brace and broke an orbital bone in Rhodes face costing Rhodes nearly a month or so of action. In 1 of the most well executed setups I've seen in a long time Cody's father WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes came to Smackdown to try to make peace between the 2 men and after a handshake and an embrace Dusty held Rey's hand long enough for Cody to jump him from behind and beat Rey senseless and then Cody went on to do the unthinkable as he unmasked Rey and held said mask for all to see! Wow so who wins? Well originally I was going to go with Rey to win this fight but now I am starting to lean towards Cody to pull the upset! Damn this went from being a foregone conclusion pick to a toss-up! UGH!!! But because I see this feud continuing into next month's Extreme Rules PPV I am going to take a chance here and go with Cody Rhodes to pull the upset here in what I think could be another sleeper fight if given enough time but look for Rey to get his revenge on Cody at Extreme Rules next month!

Winner: Cody Rhodes

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Trish Stratus, and John Morrison vs. Dolph Ziggler and LayCool (Layla and Michelle McCool)

Before I give you my pick for this match I would like to get a little something off my chest if I may and that is John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler deserve so much better than this let's not kid ourselves for 1 moment! However with them in this match this went from being the bathroom break fight of Mania to a passable TV quality match at best. If not for the 8 man tag match this fight would've most likely been the worst fight of Mania in my honest opinion. OK enough of me whining let's pick a winner shall we? Question: What will Snooki have in common with Lawrence Taylor, Donald Trump, and Floyd Mayweather? Answer: They are all celebrities who have participated in a WrestleMania match and went on to win that match and I fully expect that trend to continue as I expect the Jersey Shore Queen Bee to pick up the winning fall in this 1! Overall the only way this fight will be any good is if Morrison and Ziggler carry the bulk of this match which I think they will and please WWE put these 2 in the Raw MITB match at the MITB PPV in July and also please let 1 of them win that fight because we all know that both men deserve so much better than this K? Thanks!

Winners: Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Trish Stratus, and John Morrison

Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Michael Cole

The only thing that Jerry Lawler has done at WrestleMania is sit behind the broadcast booth with Vince McMahon, Jim Ross, Joey Styles, Michael Cole, and Matt Striker. Now for the 1st time in his Hall of Fame career The King is finally going to wrestle in his very 1st WrestleMania match! On the other side of the coin you have Michael Cole who over the last several months has become 1 of the most over heels since Vickie Guerrero! Despite having Jack Swagger in his corner for this match Michael Cole realistically has no chance what so ever to win this match! Why? Well I'll tell you why! 1. Stone Cold Steve Austin as the special referee and 2. Jerry Lawler has waited for several months to get his hands on his former broadcast colleague and in all honesty I think that this fight could be this year what the Bret Hart/Vince McMahon match was at last year's Mania a very long squash match which Lawler will dominate from start to finish and with that I am picking The King to get the win here and what will become of the WWE broadcast team after this 1 will be most interesting to say the least!

Winner: Jerry "The King" Lawler

Randy Orton vs. CM Punk

This feud really started back at the 2008 Unforgiven PPV when Randy Orton punted CM Punk in the skull thus costing Punk the World Heavyweight Championship as Punk was unable to defend it that night! 2 and a half years later Punk would cost Randy Orton a chance to regain the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble as Punk hit Orton with a GTS! So after all that these 2 young studs will meet on the grandest stage of all in what I expect to be a very good and physical fight! So who wins? Well in all honesty this fight is a lot like the Rey Mysterio/Cody Rhodes fight because originally I was going to go with the face which is Orton in this case but now I'm starting to lean more towards the heel which in this case is Punk! But since Punk got the upper hand on Orton on the go home edition of Raw last Monday I am going to take a chance here and go with the Viper to win this fight but regardless of who wins this match at WrestleMania I fully expect this feud to continue into next month's Extreme Rules PPV!

Winner: Randy Orton

World Heavyweight Championship Match: Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio

Since bursting onto the scene last fall Alberto Del Rio has done the following things. 1. Put Rey Mysterio and Christian on the injured list. 2. Wrestled in an outstanding series of matches with Rey Mysterio. and 3. Won the biggest Royal Rumble match in history by outlasting 39 other men to earn this main event championship match with the Rated R superstar at WrestleMania! Speaking of the Rated R superstar he is strongly over as a babyface for the 1st time since his megapush of 2001! However on the grandest stage of all he has never won a World Heavyweight Title match as both champion and challenger! In fact this will be Edge's 4th consecutive World Title match and 3rd as the champion going in and in addition to that Edge has lost all 3 of his previous Mania World Title fights which could be prove to be a major disadvantage! However it has just been announced that Christian will be in Edge's corner while Brodus Clay will be in Del Rio's corner for this match! So who wins? Well I'll tell you! I am going to go with Alberto Del Rio to make history and become the new World Heavyweight Champion after Christian turns heel and costs Edge the belt setting up a Triple Threat match between Del Rio, Edge, and Christian at next month's Extreme Rules PPV! Overall you're looking at a surefire candidate for fight of the night right here! Just saying!

Winner: Alberto Del Rio

No Holds Barred Match: Triple H vs. The Undertaker

OK before I give you my pick for this match I am going to go on the record right here and right now when I say that this will most likely be the fight of the night right here! Now on to the match! We have actually seen these 2 throwdown at Mania before back at WrestleMania 17 in 1 of the greatest matches in WresteMania history! Can this 1 top that epic battle in Houston on 4-1-01? Well I think it can and here's why! This whole thing came about on 2-21-11 on Monday Night Raw when the Undertaker made his return to WWE after being out 4 months! Then just as Taker was getting settled in enter The Game setting up 1 of the most memorable confrontations in recent memory that was until the most epic and emotional in-ring segment in Raw history last Monday night when both men along with Shawn Michaels stood in the ring in Chicago and put on a verbal masterclass! Aside from that epic segment the build for this fight had been rather dull and boring mainly because it was several weeks of individual promos on their respective shows but after the epic confrontation from last Monday's Raw the stock in this fight went from mediocre to skyhigh and then some! So who wins this epic confrontation at Mania? Well in all honesty there's really only 1 way to go here friends and that is to go with The Deadman extending his undefeated WrestleMania streak to 19-0 but make no mistake about this friends while I think it is going to be the fight of the night anything less than a 4 star match from these 2 will be a major letdown but in all honesty if they book this match correctly and give it all the time it needs then this should and will be a 5 star classic and then some and I for 1 cannot wait to see how this 1 goes down!

Winner: The Undertaker

WWE Championship Match: The Miz vs. John Cena

OK originally I was going to go with John Cena to not only win the WWE title again but I was also predicting that this would be the usual and vintage Super Cena bury job! However I am in all honesty starting to believe that Miz just might go over here and here's why! 1. The return of the great 1 himself The Rock as the host of Mania! 2. The weeks of verbal banter between Rock and Cena which has been some of the best verbal banter I have ever heard it has been that good! 3. Miz getting the better of Cena for each of the 1st 3 weeks of Raw after the match became official and 4. John Cena attitude adjusting Rock to end last week's epic go home edition of Raw! Cena's AA on The Rock could lead Rock to get involved in the WWE title match at Mania and it could also lead to Rocky costing Cena the match! So who wins? Well before I give you my pick let me just go on the record once again when I say if Miz does indeed do the unthinkable and goes over Cena at Mania then in my honest opinion this win would surpass Randy Orton's win over Cena and HHH at WrestleMania 24 as the most shocking victory in WrestleMania history! So with that said will it happen? Damn I am torn but after careful consideration the answer to that $1,000,000 question is - YES it will! Miz will earn his lifetime membership into WWE's main event mafia when he defeats John Cena and retains the WWE title if you smell what The Rock is cooking! But regardless of who wins this match I fully expect this feud to carry over into next month's Extreme Rules PPV!

Winner: The Miz

Overall it looks like a very strong show on paper with the exception of 1 maybe 2 matches! Now the next $1,000,000 question is can WrestleMania 27 top WrestleMania 26? Right now I cannot give you a clear and honest answer but what I can tell you is this if these matches are booked correctly as well as given enough time and if WWE keeps the campy comedy nonsense to a minimum then I truly believe in my heart of hearts that WrestleMania 27 could go down as 1 of the greatest WrestleMania's of all time and I am extremely looking forward to seeing how this WrestleMania plays out!
