facing Rey Mysterio in a singles match on night one Otis wrestled collegiately for CSU-Pueblo and began his pro wrestling career in Colorado While he s not scheduled for WrestleMania he may show up at particular point Saturday night card Rey Mysterio vs El Grande Americano Singles match How we got here After struggling with luchadores for months Chad Gable took a step away from the ring Then a mysterious luchador named El Grande Americano who looked like and wrestled like Gable except under a mask made his debut and began defeating the WWE s luchadors through nefarious means Rey Mysterio took offense and yearned to fight him for the honor of lucha libre style wrestling Who should win Mysterio It feels like a bad guy gets his comeuppance kind of match Who will win Mysterio Jade Cargill vs Naomi Singles match How we got here Cargill was attacked by an unknown assailant in a November episode of Smackdown which kept her out of the ring for months She had been part of the tag-team champions with Bianca Belair at the time but Naomi would step in to fill her spot in her absence At Elimination Chamber Cargill returned and attacked Naomi who would later reveal that she was the attacker Now comes the grudge match Who should win Cargill She had been one of the greater part hyped up WWE signings after she had left All Elite Wrestling in While she has seen success as a tag-team wrestler so far this will be her biggest moment as a singles wrestler in the company Who will win Cargill LA Knight c vs Jacob Fatu Singles match WWE United States Championship How we got here After Roman Reigns defeated his cousin Solo Sikoa to regain the title of the Tribal Chief Fatu who s a real-life cousin to both had shifted his efforts to the United States championship He beat Braun Strowman on the April episode of Smackdown to earn the title shot Who should win Fatu One of the more physically gifted members of wrestling s Anoa i family which includes The Rock Roman Reigns Jimmy and Jey Uso it was only a matter of time he would get his shot to shine as a singles star This feels like the springboard Who will win Fatu The War Raiders c vs The New Day Tag-team match World Tag Group Championship How we got here The New Day shed their beloved fan-favorite status after turning on founding member Big E by saying he abandoned them after he suffered a real-life career-threatening neck injury Now just Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods they are looking to regain glory by winning the World Tag Company Championship from The War Raiders Who should win The New Day What began as a white-hot heel turn by The New Day has gone somewhat lukewarm over the last couple of months But a win here could reignite their momentum especially if Big E gets involved in particular way Who will win The New Day Tiffany Stratton c vs Charlotte Flair Singles match WWE Women s Championship How we got here Charlotte won this year s Royal Rumble which granted her a shot at a world championship She chose Stratton Then they got into odd verbal battles that have become pretty personal Who should win Stratton The former gymnast has promptly acclimated to the WWE since her promotion from NXT last year She has the look she has the moves and with the championship the future is now Who will win Flair I feel like I disclosed the same thing above with Rhea Ripley years ago when she had to take on Flair Ripley lost My heart says Stratton my head says Flair for her th world championship reign just one behind her father Ric Gunther c vs Jey Uso Singles match World Heavyweight Championship How we got here Jey Uso won this year s Royal Rumble granting him a shot at a world championship He chose Gunther Who should win Uso They ve been coining him Main Event Jey Uso for years now If there s a time to pull the trigger on putting the title on him it s now If nothing else the scene of -plus fans dancing to his song when he wins would be a WrestleMania moment in itself Who will win Uso Roman Reigns vs CM Punk with Paul Heyman vs Seth Rollins Triple-threat match How we got here These three have plenty of history dating back well over a decade But in terms of this match coming about let s begin with Rollins turning down an invitation to join Reigns band at this past Survivor Series given that the two have had years of animosity Instead Punk joined on the stipulation that Heyman would owe him a favor Fast forward to the Royal Rumble when Punk eliminated both Reigns and Rollins before being eliminated himself The three would have a brutal brawl outside the ring This would lead to more altercations in the coming weeks until the three-way match was broadcasted Punk called in his favor which would be to have Heyman in his corner not Reigns Who should win Punk This one s a hard one All three have a legitimate circumstance as to why they should win But I m going with WWE s prodigal son Having Heyman in his corner can t be the full extent of the favor can it Who will win Rollins As I stated above this could easily be any of the three of them But seeing Rollins stand tall could have implications for what happens on Sunday Sunday night card AJ Styles vs Logan Paul Singles match How we got here Paul yes the YouTube star has been a semi-active wrestler in the WWE over the last limited years Styles returned at the Royal Rumble and was eliminated by Paul Styles would challenge him to a match and general manager Adam Pearce would conclusively schedule it Who should win Styles I dependably love a good bad guy gets his comeuppance payoff and there insufficient who are easier to hate than Paul Who will win Paul That explained I believe through a menagerie of YouTube stars interfering Paul will stand tall and get his well-deserved jeers Damian Priest vs Drew McIntyre Singles match Sin City Street Fight How we got here Let s go back to WrestleMania XL when McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins to win the World Heavyweight Championship He held it for less than six minutes as CM Punk attacked him after the match and Priest used his Money in the Bank to cash in for championship match right there and then Fast forward to the Royal Rumble and Priest eliminated McIntyre Priest eliminated McIntyre again at the Elimination Chamber Now it s time settle it Who should win McIntyre Fourth time s the charm McIntyre s due for a win But that was noted for last year s Clash at the Castle where McIntyre who s Scottish lost his championship match in Glasgow to you guessed it Priest Who will win McIntyre Bron Breakker c vs Penta vs Finn B lor vs Dominik Mysterio Fatal four-way match WWE Intercontinental Championship How we got here Breakker s been the champion since October In latest months The Judgment Day faction which includes Balor and Mysterio have been a thorn in Breakker s side Penta who joined the WWE in January after a stint in AEW has been hurriedly rising through the ranks Now the four of them will battle it out for the title Who should win Balor Signs of The Judgment Day splintering have been showing for a month While it s easy to have Balor and Mysterio absolutely take each other out it would be more fascinating in the future if one of them wins the title and that causes a rift Who will win Penta He seems like he s been the new best thing since coming to the WWE Put a title on him and let him fly Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez c vs Bayley and Lyra Valkyria Tag-team match WWE Women s Tag Organization Championship How we got here Morgan and Rodriguez also of The Judgment Day won the titles in February Valkyria the current women s intercontinental champion and Bayley won a gauntlet match on the April SmackDown to earn a match for the title Who should win Morgan and Rodriguez There have been subtle hints of Bayley turning on Valkyria to further their feud for the Intercontinental title Whether or not that s a red herring it feels like Morgan and Rodriguez should have a continued run as champions Who will win Morgan and Rodriguez Iyo Sky c vs Bianca Belair vs Rhea Ripley Triple-threat match Women s World Championship How we got here Belair won this year s Elimination Chamber to earn a world title match The champion was Ripley before she lost her title to Sky on the March episode of Raw Ripley came out during Belair and Sky s contract signing and attacked both women then signed the contract herself Ripley would later face Sky in a match with Belair as the guest referee It ended in a double disqualification allowing Sky to retain GM Adam Pearce would later make this a triple-threat match Who should win Sky In several confrontations involving the three women Sky has inevitably been positioned as the one ignored That could play out in this match which is one that could steal the show Who will win Sky Cody Rhodes c vs John Cena Singles match WWE Championship Related Articles Hidetora Hanada sumo wrestler turned CSU Rams lineman receives NIL offer from WWE WWE Royal Rumble predictions preview how to watch How we got here Cena revealed last year that he was preparing to do a retirement tour this year He won the men s Elimination Chamber and received a world title shot Then in March he turned on Rhodes and turned to the dark side Who should win Cena Let s ignore the fact that a win here would tie him with Ric Flair for the most of number of world championship reigns all time at The real fun is seeing how a Cena run as a bad guy champion would be over the coming months His time is now Who will win Cena Subscribe to our weekly newsletter In The
