WWE WrestleMania 37 Predictions: John Cena Will Make History In Hollywood
By Mark Justice
WWE WrestleMania 37, also known as WrestleMania Hollywood, is scheduled to take place on March 28, 2021, live on the WWE Network.
WWE WrestleMania 37! WWE has a long term booking issue, but there are some storylines that would be fitting for next year’s WrestleMania card. Considering that the WWE is seven months away from this event, it is highly improbable that any current rivalries will continue to this event with the exception of Randy Orton vs. Edge, which has been rumored to be an ‘I Quit’ Match.
Nonetheless, it’s now time to preview and predict the matches and storylines that will occur at WrestleMania 37. The following will make some key presumptions about how the storylines will be built as well as how they will end. To kick things off, let’s predict all of the tag team championship matches and their victors.
Note: These predictions made a deliberate presumption that all the rosters will remain the same, come WrestleMania 37.
Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan (c) vs. Natalya and Lana vs. Tegan Nox and Shotzi Blackheart vs. Mercedes Martinez and Aliyah vs. Carmella and Dana Brooke vs. Fire and Desire [Women’s Tag Team Championships: Gauntlet Match]
Assuming Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan become Women’s Tag Team Champions by WWE WrestleMania 37, the WWE should book a gauntlet match with two teams from Raw, two teams from NXT, and two teams from SmackDown. Thanks to the potential spots and fast-paced eliminations, this would be a fun way to kickstart WrestleMania.
Based on the current rosters today, the two teams from Raw would be the Riott Squad and The Social Media Influencers (especially Tik Tok), Natalya and Lana. The two teams from NXT would be Tegan Nox and Shotzi Blackheart and Robert Stone Brand’s Mercedes Martinez and Aliyah. The two teams from SmackDown would be Carmella and Dana Brooke and Fire and Desire.
Fire and Desire? Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville? Indeed, albeit none could see them reuniting after everything they have been through, it was clear that Rose buried the hatchet with Deville after their SummerSlam match. This is a sign that Deville could return by Mania season to win her first Women’s Tag Team Championships with Rose for a fulfilling Mania moment.
Prediction: Fire and Desire
Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs. Lucha House Party vs. King Corbin and Shorty G vs. Daniel Bryan and Drew Gulak [SmackDown Tag Team Championships]
Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura have been impeccable SmackDown Tag Team Championships and they could be in for the long haul with those belts. If they are booked to hold onto those championships until WWE WrestleMania 37, it would make sense for their ultimate opponents to be Daniel Bryan and Drew Gulak.
They have had a history ever since Sami Zayn’s IC Championship feud with Daniel Bryan at last year’s WrestleMania. Since Zayn came out on top in that feud, it would be neat long-term foreshadowing if Bryan and Gulak got some babyface comeuppance today to dethrone Zayn’s sidekicks, Cesaro and Nakamura, in astonishing fashion.
Prediction: Daniel Bryan and Drew Gulak
Street Profits (c) vs. Andrade and Angel Garza vs. Viking Raiders vs. RooDolph vs. 2 Fly Crew vs. MVP and Shelton Benjamin vs. Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe vs. Authors of Pain [Raw Tag Team Championships: Tag Team Turmoil]
Only Vince McMahon knows the end goal to the Raw Tag Team Division (or maybe he doesn’t). Street Profits have been battling Viking Raiders and Andrade and Angel Garza for the past five months, so the WWE should shake some things up, come WrestleMania season. It wouldn’t be too surprising if Street Profits held onto the belts until Mania.
The Raw Tag Team Division is eminently infinitesimal to the point that there is no longer a need for two separate tag team championships on the main roster. Nonetheless, Authors of Pain, Robert Roode, and Samoa Joe will likely be back in action by then, so the tag team division could come back into full gear.
Street Profits have beef with Andrade and Angel Garza. Viking Raiders have beef with RooDolph in Raw Underground. 2 Fly Crew has had continual beef with MVP and Shelton Benjamin (also known as Black Dynamite from NJPW) in their quest to help Apollo Crews fend off the Hurt Business. Finally, KO and Joe have had beef with Authors of Pain due to their association with Seth Rollins.
If WWE can throw all eight of these tag teams into a tag team turmoil match, not only would this decision show that the tag team division is booming but it would also show that they are capable of keeping their tag rivalries intact. Since Owens and Joe are the biggest stars and have not been booked to their fullest potential on Raw, they will pick up the win here.
Prediction: Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe
