I. Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns
Reigns wins. Part of me wants to say Lesnar because not only do I like Lesnar more and there's several matches I still want to see him have so the idea of him losing and then leaving is disappointing, but he's held the championship for a year explicitly for the story of Roman beating him at WrestleMania, and at this point I just want to give this over with and move on.
II. AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
Almost positive Shinsuke's walking out with the title and he does kinda need it more than Styles does, but considering I've mostly been underwhelmed by Shinsuke (note: I have only really seen his main roster work) and Styles is my second favorite atm, I'd much prefer Styles hold on to the Championship for a much longer time. But honestly, as long as this match delivers even half of what the internet promises they can do, I'll be satisfied. And for the record, I am expecting this match to rule.
III. Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle vs. Triple H & Stephanie McMahon
Just please, please, don't go on anywhere near twenty minutes. Ronda should win on Stephanie, and in fairly succinct fashion. Ronda struggling with Stephanie would be a terrible first in-ring impression of her, and it would me the match would last longer, neither of which are good.
IV. The Undertaker vs. John Cena
If it's happening (and it is, despite what the silence says, because if it's not, there thought process with Cena has been baffling), I'd rather Taker win. I say this as somebody who wanted The Streak to end but at some point having him constantly lose is just spitting in the face of The Streak. And I'd say three is that point (since at least with two there's a storyline for a future match out of that [as evidenced by the fact they did just that]), at least if he's losing to Cena. If it was a genuine up-and-comer, then maybe not because you can help attempt to solidify them as a star by placing them in company with Lesnar & Reigns and you don't have to worry as much about whether or not the superstar will sink or swim since the value of beaten Taker at Mania is no longer as immense. Cena is literally the last wrestler on the world who needs to add this feather to his cap.
Side-note, if this match isn't closing the show, I see no chance of John Cena winning. This doesn't really belong in this thread but I know where else to put it, one of the most important elements in Reigns vs. Lesnar is their distinction as the only ones who have beaten Taker at Mania, and if Cena does it prior to that match, he ruins that element to the match and effectively makes Roman's win feel less monumental. It still retroactively does that if Cena beats him after that, but at least it won't play into the drama of the match, the story the commentators could tell throughout it. And it would be a pretty effective way to set-up for Roman/Cena, Roman beats the only other person who beat Taker at Mania, lol just kidding Cena kicked out at two. Then at like SummerSlam or Mania Cena can beat Roman for the Universal Championship to break Ric Flairs' record because Cena is sick of Roman being the one to ruin everything wrestling fans cherish (though I for the record, don't care about Flair's championship record [especially since he's won more than 16]).
V. YES! YES! Shane McMahon. YES! vs. Yep! Yep! Yep!
Daniel Bryan wins! Shane McMahon jumps off tall thing! This storyline finally ends!
VI. Charlotte vs. Asuka
Asuka. I'll always want Asuka to win. If Carmella cashes-in ost-match, I hope Asuka makes short work of her like Jamie Frost, though since we're talking about fantasy booking, Carmella will stay the hell out of this match.
VII. Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax
As long as Bliss losing the title, I'm not too concerned about how it happens. If Carmella doesn't cash-in, I do hope Nia Jax just squashes her and we can move on from this quickly.
VIII. Intercontinental Triple Threat
Finn Balor. I'd be fine with Seth Rollins too but I feel like Finn needs the title more. Could do great things for Balor Club if they want to go in that direction.
IX. United States Fatal Four Way
Orton or Rusev. Orton because he's the only one of the four I'm an active fan on (though if Roode's face character was more than a catch-word I'd be down with him winning) and Rusev because well, god damn WWE he's over just give him the belt already. If he was over enough to be added into the match, then he's over enough to win it. I'd have Rusev win it, though I'd be happy with Orton retaining too.
X. The Bar vs. Braun Strowman & I don't know Bray Wyatt?
Braun pretty much has to win this.
XI. The Usos vs. The New Day vs. Bludgeon Brothers
I'm fine with either winning except The New Day but it should probably be The Bludgeon Brothers. The Usos having their first WrestleMania appearance end in victory is something I'd be down for, and there's The New Day there to take the fall. But I'd still probably be lean to 2B.
XII. Women's Battle Royal
Only going by who has been confirmed, I don't care the match doesn't matter. Sasha or Bayley because it could be used as a tool to advance their feud or maybe Ruby Riot as an attempt to legitimatize her as a credible threat to Asuka post-Mania.
XIII. Men's Battle Royal
Only going by who has been confirmed, I don't care the match doesn't matter. Matt I guess?
XIV. Cedric Alexander vs. Mustafa Ali
Cedric. I actually prefer Mustafa I think so I wouldn't be upset at all if Mustafa wins here but I think for how long they've been building towards it back when Enzo was a thing, it just feels right for Cedric to finally get that moment here, and I feel like Mustafa can just win it from him a few competitive matches later. I think these two have potential to be the next long-running feud for the cruiserweights, I don't actually think we've seen a lengthy program in the division (at least one promoted on Raw) since Neville/Aries.
