Predicting WWE WrestleMania 33’s Winners

WrestleMania 33 is going to be a marathon of an event with over a dozen matches this year, so it’ll be interesting to see who will leave victorious.

WrestleMania 33 is the biggest WWE PPV of the year. All of its most important storylines and rivalries conclude as this monumental event. This year alone, we’re set to witness thirteen matches on the card (as of March 25, 2017) which will make this one of the most match-heavy ‘Manias in recent memory.  This will also be one of the most championship-heavy WrestleManias ever, with eight titles on the line (nine, if you include the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy).

So the question is, who will win in this event?

A lot can be determined by rumors surrounding WWE’s long-term plans. It’s obvious that WWE have long-term plans for only a select few, with everyone else being less important to the company’s top brass. Long-term, we could see several winners at this year’s WrestleMania in top spots and as focal points on WWE’s regular programming.

In making these predictions, you have to take two things into account. First, WWE has an incredible level of predictability when it comes to its head honcho, Vince McMahon. Once he gets set in his ways, he isn’t likely to change. That’s why so many people can predict with great accuracy whom he wants to win in the biggest matches and who will lose.

Second, Vince is aware of this perception of him and also has a tendency to swerve the audience at the last minute. This doesn’t always make sense (actually, it almost never does), but Vince loves to think he’s one step ahead of people. To that end, we could still see a few shocking swerves at WrestleMania 33.

So here’s a list of the likely victors at the show of shows, in no specific order…
