WWE WrestleMania 36: Way Too Early Full Card Prediction
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Match: The IIconics (c) vs. Kairi Sane & Io Shirai
The IIconics captured the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania 35, and perhaps no two women better exemplify the desire to succeed as a team and not alone. They could continue to exemplify this was a truly record-setting reign as champions, carrying them for an entire year and fending off every team that comes in their path.
Of course, they’d eventually need a team to step up and change that. WrestleMania 36 will be in the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and a signature pirate ship exists in the arena. If WWE doesn’t do something with that, it would be an unforgivable missed opportunity. Collectively known as Sky Pirates, “The Pirate Princess” Kairi Sane and “The Genius of the Sky” Io Shirai would be ideal challengers for The IIconics, and could have the most swashbuckling entrance imaginable.
Brock Lesnar vs. Matt Riddle
Ideally, Brock Lesnar is nowhere near the championship picture ever again in his entire WWE career. That being said, that doesn’t mean he has to stay completely absent from WWE. On the contrary, Lesnar remains a special attraction that would be fitting for appearances at big shows like WrestleMania. Were he to compete at WrestleMania 36, Lesnar would need a special opponent.
No man better fits that bill than “The Original Bro” Matt Riddle. Himself a former UFC star, Matt Riddle has already been making his mark in NXT. He’s not been shy about calling out Brock Lesnar on Twitter and stating his intent to retire Lesnar. If WWE wants to instantly make Riddle a credible and dangerous threat, and a WrestleMania spectacle, they could begin a new WrestleMania streak by letting this “Bro” topple The Beast that ended The Undertaker’s streak.
