WWE WrestleMania 39 Predictions: Roman Reigns Will Bury Cody Rhodes
By Mark Justice
Randy Orton vs. Matt Riddle [Classic Singles Match]
Randy Orton will defeat Matt Riddle because he will turn heel on Riddle as a betrayal of their RKBro friendship and he needs to solidify his heel turn. Not to mention, he has never defeated Riddle whilst Riddle is 2-0 against Orton. Riddle has Orton’s number, and Orton needs to flip the switch and win where it matters most: WrestleMania. It can be argued that Riddle is the younger star and needs the win more over an established talent like Orton, but Orton can really use this victory to get away from the tag division and back into the main event scene where he belongs.
Prediction: Randy Orton (via pinfall)
Becky Lynch, Lita, & Trish Stratus vs. Damage Control [6-Women Tag Match]
Damage Control will defeat Becky Lynch, Trish Stratus, and Lita in a six women tag match that was rumored to take place at Elimination Chamber. However, as mentioned earlier, Kai’s injury stopped that match from happening. Lita assisted Becky in her steel cage match victory against Bayley, and Trish Stratus return is still in the works. Getting the tag titles off of Damage Control and booking them in this six-women tag match would be a great opportunity to redeem themselves from their many losses this year, especially with a major victory over two legends.
Prediction: Damage Control (via pinfall)
Rey Mysterio vs. Dominick Mysterio [Father vs. Son Match]
Dominick Mysterio will defeat Rey Mysterio in what should be a passing of the torch from father to son. Dominick has truly evolved into his own character since joining the Judgment Day. His mannerisms and nonchalant behavior are contagiously amusing. The idea of Dominick maturing through his edgy teen phase into a man’s man is truly a sight to see. He can finally spread his wings and not live in his dad’s shadow. He is incredibly over with the crowd and attracts a ton of heel heat. Most importantly, he needs the win to solidify his progressive transformation.
Prediction: Dominick Mysterio (via pinfall)
