WWE WrestleMania 36: Early match card predictions

Kabuki Warriors (c) vs. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross [Women’s Tag Team Championships]

The Kabuki Warriors won their first Women’s Tag Team Championships when they dethroned Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross at WWE Hell in a Cell 2019. Ever since then, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross have never obtained their championship rematch and have continuously emphasized how they aspire to become two time Women’s Tag Team Champions.

WrestleMania 36 could be the stage where they accomplish those aspirations. Many naysayers may declaim that Alexa Bliss is always in the spotlight, but they cannot deny that she has never won a match at WrestleMania.

At WrestleMania 33, she lost the SmackDown Women’s Championship to Naomi. At WrestleMania 34, she lost the Raw Women’s Championship to Nia Jax. At WrestleMania 35, she was not even in a match because she was the host instead (which she did an incredible job at).

Now that Alexa Bliss is in a successful tag team with Nikki Cross, she needs to pick up her first WrestleMania victory. As great as Kabuki Warriors have been as Women’s Tag Team Champions, it would be a blissful feat for Bliss and Cross to become the first ever two-time Women’s Tag Team Champion on the grandest stage of them all: WWE WrestleMania 36.

Prediction: Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross

Bayley (c) vs. Sasha Banks [SmackDown Women’s Championship]

It is evident that no one is more deserving of dethroning Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship than Sasha Banks. Whether she wins the Rumble and challenges Bayley at WrestleMania or turns her back on her at the Elimination Chamber PPV (like she did in Elimination Chamber 2018), Banks needs to be Bayley’s opponent at WrestleMania 36. Like Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks is a deserving superstar who has not yet won a big match at WrestleMania.

At WrestleMania 32, she lost to Charlotte Flair in a show stealing women’s championship triple threat match with Becky Lynch. At WrestleMania 33, she lost to Bayley in a Raw Women’s Championship fatal four way match with Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax.

At WrestleMania 34, she participated in the first ever Women’s Battle Royal but failed to win it, thanks to Naomi. Finally, At WrestleMania 35, she lost the Women’s Tag Team Championships with Bayley to IIconics.

Clearly, Banks needs to win at this year’s WrestleMania. Her recent return to the WWE, hair color change, and exciting heel role has not yet gained the momentum it deserves and that should be justified with a WrestleMania moment over her best friend, who dethroned her for the NXT Women’s Championship at the end of their rivalry in NXT.

Prediction: Sasha Banks

Becky Lynch (c) vs. Charlotte Flair [Raw Women’s Championship]

If Shayna Baszler does not get called up to the main roster or Ronda Rousey does not return, Becky Lynch may be stuck defending her Raw Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair. Since many may be annoyed with these two superstars wrestling so many times, a ‘Last Chance’ Match would be fitting for them.

That way, whoever becomes champion will no longer have to defend her championship against the other ever again. If this occurs, Lynch should retain the championship and spark a rivalry with Shayna Baszler on the Raw after WrestleMania 36, which would be an ideal time for Baszler to debut on the main roster.

Honestly, it would be ten times better if the WWE somehow combines Bayley-Sasha Banks with Lynch-Flair into a Four Horsewomen showdown at WrestleMania 36 and book Sasha Banks to become Sasha Two Belts. However, that could be wishful thinking.

Prediction: Becky Lynch
