WWE: 5 Bold Predictions For WrestleMania 35
5. Seth Rollins won’t win the Universal Championship
Seth Rollins’ journey from the Royal Rumble to now all points to his first Universal Championship victory at WrestleMania 35. However, by now we should all know never to assume Brock Lesnar is going to lose. Rewind just one year. It was meant to be Roman Reigns’ moment, but Lesnar shockingly retained the Universal Championship in the WrestleMania main event.
But this prediction isn’t as much about Rollins and Lesnar as it is the rest of the WrestleMania card. Take one look, and you’ll notice a common theme. When predicting the most likely match-winners, it goes something a little like this: babyface, babyface, babyface, babyface.
Becky Lynch has to win the main event to become champions of both Raw and SmackDown. Kofi Kingston has to defeat Daniel Bryan to win his first WWE Championship. Triple H’s wrestling career is over if Batista wins. Surely The Game can’t lose? Finn Balor isn’t going to bring out “The Demon” just to get defeated, right?
Maybe the babyface-heel win-loss column will be balanced out with Samoa Joe retaining and Nia Jax & Tamina winning gold, as an example, but even so, all signs point to dominance by the good guys.
I find it hard to believe we’ll see a night with very few heel victories. In particular, it’s hard to imagine the big three — the main event, the Universal, and WWE Championship matches — all ending the same way, with the heroic babyface finally achieving their dream.
If one of Becky Lynch, Kofi Kingston or Seth Rollins has to lose, my prediction is The Kingslayer.
