Wrestlemania 27 Predictions

The last Raw before Wrestlemania 27 is in the books and it was a great episode. I'm even more interested in the biggest show of the year, and that's saying something since I was very interested before.

I'm going to go through the card for the show and make my predictions on who will win.


1. United States Championship - Sheamus (c) vs. Daniel Bryan

I believe this will be a great match if they are given enough time. Since Sheamus is just on the rise again and only recently won the United States Championship recently, I don't see him dropping it yet. Maybe at Backlash, but for now, after an impressive showing from both guys, Sheamus leaves Atlanta with the strap still around his waist.


2. Trish Stratus, John Morrison and Snooki vs. LayCool and Dolph Ziggler.

Trish will show why she was voted Diva of the Decade and Morrison and Ziggler will pull out all the stops....that they can. I doubt this will be more than 7 minutes, and unfortunately you'll see the end coming when Snooki gets the tag and as long as she's not wasted or trying to smush with Morrison or Ziggler, she'll somehow get the pin for her team.


3. The Corre vs. Kane, Big Show, Santino and Kozlov

Kane is a veteran who puts over younger guys. Big Show has one of the worst Mania records ever, and Santino and Kozlov...well...you know. The Corre is on the rise and on a hot streak. They get the win here.


4. Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio

As far as the under card goes, this match I am looking forward to the most. I think it's got the potential to (almost) steal the show and really elevate Rhode as a major player. I would love to see Rhodes pick up the win here, and I'm going to make a ballsy prediction and say that this will be his shining moment.


5. Randy Orton vs. CM Punk

Here's my dream match that I hate to see. These are my two favorite guys, locking up at the biggest show of the year. The build up has been great and these two will have one of the most talked about matches. I'm making a bold prediction. Someone from FCW will make a debut, possibly Seth Rollins (Tyler Black) and help Punk get the dirty win. I won't be upset if I'm wrong as I said, these are my two favorite guys.


6. Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole w/ Jack Swagger and Special Guest Ref, Stone Cold Steve Austin

Stunner for Swagger, a 5 minute beating for Cole, and Lawler and Austin celebrating with beer. It should not be any different than that. Lawler deserves his first ever Wrestlemania moment.


7. World Heavyweight Championship Match - Edge (c) w/ Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio w/ Brodus Clay

Del Rio is a rising star in WWE and it's no secret that they have big plans for him. Will it start here in Atlanta on Sunday? I think so. Not sure how. Interference from Brodus Clay and Christian is more than likely to happen, but how it plays out, well that's just something we have to wait and see, along with a new World Champion.


8. WWE Championship Match - The Miz (c) w/ Alex Riley vs. John Cena

The Rock will no doubt get involved here as the big talk of Wrestlemania has been John Cena and The Rocks verbal assaults on each other, which have been fantastic, however I feel like The Miz is being shunned out and almost forgotten in the mix. It sucks too because he is the Champion, and he deserves to have a more prominent role in the whole thing. If the reports are true and The Rock will be around for maybe even a Summerslam match or even next years Wrestlemania, I picture The Miz somehow getting the win, and really having a platform to be showcased as a big deal in WWE.


9. The Undertaker vs. Triple H

I don't care how awesome the build up has been, for a man who is 18 and 0 and Mania, I will NOT bet against The Undertaker. I expect a jealous HBK to either give Triple H sweet chin music, by accident or on purpose, and that will be where it goes wrong for Triple H. The No-Holds Barred stipulation should help the match as Undertakers injuries and status aren't a huge secret. A lot of near pinfalls in this one, and even as sure as I am 'Taker will win, I know I will be on the edge of my seat.


So there's my predictions for Wrestlemania 27, this Sunday on PPV at 8pm Eastern. Going to be a great one.
