WWE WrestleMania 39 Predictions: Roman Reigns Will Bury Cody Rhodes
By Mark Justice
WWE WrestleMania 39 is almost one month away, and the WWE has made three matches official for this “premium live event”: (1) Roman Reigns (c) vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, (2) Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Rhea Ripley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, and (3) Bianca Belair (c) vs. Asuka for the Raw Women’s Championship. Since this event is two nights, it is expected that there will be six-seven matches per night.
The following will provide some early match card predictions for what should be one of the most exciting PPVs of the year: WWE WrestleMania 39.
WWE WrestleMania 39 is scheduled to take place on April 1 and April 2, 2023, live on Peacock. Here are some match card predictions after Royal Rumble.
Usos (c) vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn [Undisputed Tag Team Titles]
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will defeat Usos to become the new Undisputed Tag Team Champions. The seeds have been planted for Owens and Zayn to achieve this consolation prize after losing their respective world title matches to Roman Reigns at the Rumble and the Elimination Chamber. The key here is for Zayn to pin Jey Uso to win the belts because most of the developed angles in the Bloodline have involved tension between these two and it warrants a solid babyface payoff for Zayn due to his strong connection with the WWE Universe, as of late.
Prediction: Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn (via pinfall)
Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez vs. Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler [Women’s Tag Team Titles]
Since Dakota Kai is injured, it is likely that Damage Control relinquishes the tag titles due to the 30-day clause for title defenses. Henceforth, the WWE will likely book two other tag teams to battle for the tag titles at Mania. It seems that Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez have become a makeshift tag team. Meanwhile, Ronda and Shayna Baszler have continued their tandem and will definitely win the tag titles due to the legitimacy of their team. They have plenty of history with Morgan and Rodriguez, especially during Rousey’s title reign, so this should be interesting.
Prediction: Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler (via pinfall)
