WWE WrestleMania 37 Night 1 Full Match Card Predictions
By Mark Justice
‘The Demon’ Finn Balor (c) vs. Karrion Kross [NXT Championship]
Since the NXT Women’s Championship was featured at last year’s WrestleMania in a match between Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley, it would be fitting for the NXT Championship to be featured at this year’s show. Like Flair, Finn Balor already has that main roster appeal and could do wonders in introducing Karrion Kross to the main roster fans who pay no attention to NXT and putting him over to give him a smooth transition into the main roster.
Many naysayers may expect Kross to win back the title he never lost, especially since Balor is the interim champion and had a similar history with the Universal Championship. However, Balor should win by unleashing “The Demon”. This victory would give Kross the rub to transition to the main roster after WrestleMania. Kross’s gimmick was made for the main roster and was never a good fit for NXT. It would be best for him to get called up as a key player in the main event scene.
Prediction: ‘The Demon’ Finn Balor
Bayley & Carmella vs. Michael Cole & Reginald [Inter-Gender Tag Match]
Bayley has been teasing a match with Michael Cole for a long time now. Cole is 1-0 at WrestleMania, and it would be funny to see Bayley break that streak. Not all Mania matches have to be serious. This match can be one of those intermission filler matches that gives everyone a good laugh while maintaining the momentum of the longest-reigning SmackDown Women’s Champion in history. Bayley will defeat Cole decisively in his famous orange singlet.
There’s also a chance that the WWE books Carmella vs. Reginald at WrestleMania instead due to their recent tensions. If that’s the case, why not reunite Bayley and Carmella to battle Reginald and Cole? While Reginald is busy making wine for Sasha Banks, Cole is always commentating ‘It’s Boss Time!” Both Bayley and Carmella hate the fact that Reginald and Cole give Banks so much attention since they both lost to her in title matches. Book it!
Prediction: Bayley & Carmella
