Here is the WWE WrestleMania XXV card:
* Chris Jericho vs. Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Rowdy Roddy Piper w/Ric Flair For Chris Jericho to win, he has to defeat all three of the legends. For the legends to win, they have to defeat Chris Jericho just one time.
What a worthless payoff to the buildup of legends vs Jericho. I would have rather seen Jericho/Austin or Jericho/Hogan or even Jericho/Tully Blanchard
Prediction: Jericho eliminates Snuka, then Piper, but then Flair/Steamboat talk strategy and they snooker themselves a win with the throwback crossbody press off the top rope! Winner- Ricky Steamboat!
* The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels
Do you even have to ask? I guarentee a win for the Undertaker bringing the mark to 17-0. I would have rather seen Undertaker/Kozlov because at least then there was a small sliver of a doubt who would win.
* Extreme Rules Match: Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy
It's hard to say this match wouldn't feature the bump of the night but with MITB also on the card they may tone this one down just a bit. I know it's extreme rules but don't look for anything along the lines of a spear through a burning table.
Prediction- I was going to take Jeff Hardy until I saw his entrance on Smackdown when he was lipsynching the words to his entrance music. Anyone that does that deserves to lose every match from now on.
Winner - Matt Hardy
* 25-Diva "Miss WrestleMania" Battle Royal: Known Participants - Melina, Maryse, Mickie James, Gail Kim, Michelle McCool, Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Alicia Fox, Kelly Kelly, Maria, Eve Torres, Katie Lea Burchill, Beth Phoenix, Layla El, Rosa Mendes, Candice Michelle, Natalya Neidhart, Jillian Hall, Tiffany, Sunny, Torrie Wilson, Molly Holly, Victoria and Jackie Gayda-Haas
It makes absolutley no sense to have anyone win Miss Wrestlemania that isn't currently under WWE contract so that rules out a good 35% of divas.
Prediction- Santino Murella in a Russo style finish.
* Money in the Bank Ladder Match: CM Punk vs. Kane vs. Mark Henry vs. MVP vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Christian vs. Finlay
The favorites in this one according to the IWC are Christian and Benjamin.
Prediction- Kofi Kingston gets the spot of the night in this match and Shelton Benjamin comes out on top the winner with Christian getting the snub.
* Winner Takes All – WWE Tag Team Titles vs. World Tag Team Titles – Unified Tag Team Title LUMBERJACK Match: The Miz and John Morrison © vs. Carlito and Primo Colon ©
Absolutley no reason to make this a lumberjack match. This one has potential to be the match of the night pending the HBK/Taker match.
Prediction- Miz and Morrison
* IC Title Match: JBL © vs. Rey Mysterio
Booking formula says Rey Rey won a non title match over JBL on Raw last Monday meaning JBL retains at Mania. Then he historically retires from the WWE as Champion. Something that's never been done before! Setting up the King of the Ring tournament on Raw to also crown the new IC Champ.
* World Title Match: Edge © vs. The Big Show vs. John Cena
I could care less about the Vickie Guerrero stuff and WWE probably came to some stupid conclusion that the reason 12 rounds isn't doing that good is because Cena isn't the champion.
Prediction- Box Office Failure John Cena
* WWE Title Match: HHH © vs. Randy Orton
I have a really bad feeling that if this match headlines Mania, there is zero chance of Orton walking out champion. However if the triple threat match headlines mania I believe Orton has a very strong chance of walking out champion.
Prediction- New WWE Champ Randy Orton and thus cementing and surpassing Jericho as the top heel in WWE.
Those are my thoughts. Feel free to express yours.
