10 Bold Predictions For WrestleMania 40

Even though WWE hasn’t announced a single match for WrestleMania 40, fans already know it’s going to be a big premium live event. First off, it’s WrestleMania and its reputation speaks for itself.

Secondly, there are so many great matches that WWE is setting up for the Show of Shows this year - Seth Rollins vs CM Punk, Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes, and more. There are some results that fans expect to happen at the show. This is going to be the second WrestleMania under Triple H, and we know The Game likes to surprise the fans. He can make some decisions that fans may not be expecting from this year’s visual extravaganza.

10 Cody Rhodes Faces Randy Orton For The Undisputed WWE Universal Championship

Randy Orton Returned At Survivor Series 2023

SmackDown’s General Manager Nick Aldis booked a fatal-4-way bout for Roman Reigns’ Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Royal Rumble. The match involves Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and LA Knight. The Rock recently teased a match against his cousin, and everyone’s talking about this dream match for WrestleMania.

Now The Rock is most likely not going to win the Universal Championship, and nor does this match need to be a title match, it’s already too big on its own. So why not have Reigns lose at Royal Rumble? Randy Orton sounds perfect for this. Cody Rhodes brought Randy to WWE, and there’s a lot of history between them, considering Orton’s tendency to turn on his friends, a Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton match for the Universal Championship doesn’t sound too bad. This way, Cody Rhodes can still have his WrestleMania moment.

9 Roman Reigns Retains His Undisputed WWE Universal Championship At WrestleMania

Roman Reigns Is Expected To Drop The Belt

Everyone’s expecting Roman Reigns to finally drop his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship

at this year’s WrestleMania. Who will he face? Most likely Cody Rhodes, since he’s talked about finishing his story. That’s the most obvious thing to do.

But that’s what fans thought last year - Cody beating Roman. That didn’t happen. And with Roman Reigns crossing over 1200 days as champ, Triple H might have him retain so he can break Hulk Hogan’s championship record.

8 The Rock Faces Roman Reigns At WrestleMania

The Rock Returned In 2024

There are rumors that the Perth government is trying to get The Rock to work next month’s Elimination Chamber premium live event. He recently returned on Raw and teased a match with The Head of the Table, Roman Reigns.

A lot of fans are expecting Cody Rhodes to finish his story at WrestleMania, but Dave Meltzer speculated that The Rock could work at the April premium live event. This isn’t too unlikely, but it’ll be interesting to see how WWE handles this dream match.

7 CM Punk Loses To Seth Rollins For The World Heavyweight Championship

CM Punk Will Likely Win The Royal Rumble

CM Punk returned at last year’s Survivor Series premium live event. Granted, fans were expecting it but at the same time, they didn’t know this was 100% going to happen. Triple H tried to swerve the fans but at the last minute, The Cult of Personality showed up.

Punk vs Rollins is on for WrestleMania for the World Heavyweight Championship. Seth’s reign has become boring for many fans, which is why it wouldn’t be surprising if Punk wins. But this will be Punk’s first major match, so giving him the title on his first try may not be the best idea.

6 Andrade Teams Up With Rey Mysterio Against Dominik Mysterio & Santos Escobar

Andrade’s AEW Contract Expired In 2023

Andrade El Idolo recently left AEW, whereas Santos Escobar turned heel against Rey Mysterio. Rumors suggest Andrade is soon to be WWE-bound, and if that’s the case, a match teaming up with Rey Mysterio can be possible. Andrade can return to WWE as a face, maybe he will join Rey Mysterio in the LWO.

Dominik also doesn’t like his father in kayfabe, so he can team up with Santos Escobar, who also turned heel against Mysterio in 2022.

5 Jade Cargill Wins Royal Rumble & Challenges Rhea Ripley For The Women’s World Championship

Jade Cargill Joined WWE In 2022

It’s been a few months since Jade Cargill signed with WWE, but she hasn’t made her in-ring debut. There are still some months for Jade to do that, and any female wrestler would be suitable for the role. Now Cargill was treated as an important wrestler in AEW, and fans are expecting WWE to do the same.

Rhea Ripley’s title reign hasn’t really been that interesting, and since Charlotte Flair isn’t available, WWE can have her go against Ripley’s Women’s Championship belt instead. Maybe Jade wins the Royal Rumble to do that.

4 Dream Match Between Gunther & Brock Lesnar Happens

Gunther Is The IC Champion

Gunther vs Brock Lesnar is a dream match for wrestling fans. It’s been a while since The Beast had a match in the WWE ring, and since Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship reign is still going strong, and it’s also a title Lesnar hasn’t won in his career, this match makes sense.

3 Bron Breakker Debuts On The Main Roster And Faces John Cena

Bron Breakker Works On NXT

Bron Breakker seems to be ready to join the main roster. He’s likely going to become a huge star in the upcoming years and having someone like John Cena give him the rub wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Cena lost his last WrestleMania feud against Austin Theory, and it was a very underwhelming match for everyone. Breakker doesn’t need to win against Cena, and there’s already some history between them when The Cenation Leader came to NXT and helped Carmelo Hayes win against Bron.

2 “Stone Cold” Steve Austin Teams Up With Kevin Owens

Steve Austin Last Wrestled In 2022

There were rumors that WWE discussed a potential match between CM Punk and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin some time back, but everyone knows that Punk is going after Seth’s title at the Show of Shows. Austin’s last match took place against Kevin Owens, and perhaps this time – if Austin really returns – he can team up with Owens.

10 Matches Steve Austin Wants You To Forget

Kevin has been feuding with Grayson Waller and Austin Theory for a while, and Waller did lose a match on NXT New Year’s Evil because of Owens.

1 Bayley Turns Face & Challenges Iyo Sky For The Women’s Championship

Iyo Sky Won The Women’s Title In August 2023

Bayley leads Damage CTRL in WWE, but fans have been expecting a face turn for her and getting kicked out of her own group for a while. One way to go about this would be for Bayley to go after Iyo Sky’s title after winning the Royal Rumble.

But Bayley doesn’t even need to do that. As Damage CTRL turns on Bayley, Sasha Banks can return and align with her friend. Bayley can then have a match against Iyo Sky for the Women’s Title at WrestleMania.
