WWE WrestleMania 37 Night 2 Full Match Card Predictions
By Mark Justice
Riddle (c) vs. Keith Lee vs. AJ Styles [United States Championship]
At WWE Elimination Chamber 2021, Riddle won the United States Championship in a triple threat match against Bobby Lashley and John Morrison. Assuming he retains the U.S. Title against Mustafa Ali at WWE FastLane 2021, he should defend his title against Keith Lee at WrestleMania since Keith Lee was supposed to get a U.S. Title opportunity but was replaced by Morrison in the aforementioned triple threat match at the Elimination Chamber PPV.
However, WWE tends to avoid babyface vs. babyface matches on PPV, especially since Keith Lee already defeated Riddle on the February 8, 2021 episode of Raw. It would be characteristic of WWE to include a heel like AJ Styles in this match in order to maintain the babyface-heel dynamics. Keith Lee should win this triple threat match to prove that the result would have been different, if he was available for that triple threat title match at the Elimination Chamber PPV.
Prediction: Keith Lee
Braun Strowman vs. Shane McMahon [Grudge Match]
Clearly, WWE decided to book Braun Strowman in an Authority storyline for WrestleMania 37 since there are no plans for him to be in a compelling feud or title match. On the past few weeks of Raw, Shane McMahon has been uttering disparaging remarks about Strowman’s intelligence while screwing him in title matches. Strowman has had beef with The Authority ever since Adam Pearce suspended him and thereby prevented him from entering the WWE Championship picture.
Strowman needs his revenge and must win this match. Since Adam Pearce probably won’t wrestle, Shane McMahon is the alternate option to get squashed by Strowman. With that said, wasn’t Shane McMahon’s contract terminated when Kevin Owens defeated him in a Ladder Match on the October 4, 2019 Fox Premiere episode of SmackDown? It seems that that stipulation means nothing anymore.
Prediction: Braun Strowman
