The pro wrestling business is gearing up for the last event of its long season. Wrestlemania XXIV is live on PPV Sunday, March 30th at 7 PM ET. Time to preview the matches with predictions!
ECW 24-man Battle Royal
This match was once scheduled for the main show but got moved to the pre-show. You can watch it on wwe.com at 6:30 PM EST. It includes wrestlers from WWE Raw, Smackdown and ECW. It has the potential to be a decent battle royal if it weren't for the presence of 'monsters' like Great Khali and Big Daddy V. Kane seems the best choice to win and go on to face Chavo Guerrero on the main Wrestlemania show, so I'll say that Kane wins here.
ECW Title Match - Chavo Guerrero (c) vs. Kane
The winner of the 24-man battle royal goes on to face Chavo in this match, and that will most likely be Kane. WWE has traditionally drops all of their world titles to faces at Wrestlemania, but this one I'm not so sure about. They may leave the belt on Chavo to try and legitimize his reign, but in reality they've ran out of opposition for him on ECW and he hasn't done anything with the belt other than maintain ECW's dismal ratings. I'm going to predict that Kane wins the ECW Title here to take it in a new direction.
Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Mr. Kennedy vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Jericho vs. Carlito vs. MVP vs. CM Punk vs. John Morrison
Jeff Hardy was once booked to be in this match, but is on a 60-day suspension due to failing a Wellness Policy test.. This match promises to be one of the top 3 or 4 wrestling matches of the evening, and they may open the show with it. Predictions are hard here, but I'll be rooting for CM Punk.. Shelton Benjamin could pull up an upset win and go on to feud for the ECW Title. MVP could win and go on to face Undertaker for the Smackdown Title. My official prediction here will be Mr. Kennedy. He's seemed ready to step into the main event for some time now.
Bunny Mania - Ashley Massaro & Maria vs. Beth Phoenix & Melina
This wrestling match will be exciting and entertaining in all the wrong ways. Maria is in Playboy and they'll be trying to sell copies of that, but they don't want to weaken Beth Phoenix. Maria manages to pin Melina after around 6 minutes.
Belfast Brawl - JBL vs. Finlay
This match won't be a pretty wrestling match, to say the least. Both men will probably blade, we'll see an appearance from the leprechaun himself, but finally JBL will pin Finlay after hitting him with some weapon. Finlay's small push will finally come to an end.
Smackdown vs. Raw Match - Batista vs. Umaga
Umaga won't win clean, so Batista will most likely win. This match will actually be better than expected, as Umaga is a better wrestler than many people think. Batista beats Umaga with a nice looking Batista Bomb, getting the first choice for Smackdown in a draft yet to come that you don't yet know about.
Career Threatening Match - Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
This wrestling match hopefully lives up to the hype and is amazing. Flair will pull all the stops he has learned the past 40 years in this match, but eventually all good things must end, and Shawn Michaels will finally pin Flair after the Sweet Chin Music. The crowd will show their appreciation to Flair with a standing ovation.
The Big Show vs. Floyd Mayweather
This match won't end up with a lot of substance. The end sees The Big Show hit Mayweather with a weak looking chokeslam and pin him, after which the boxer is never heard from in the wrestling world again.
WWE Title Match: Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena vs. Triple H
This will be a good and long match, with all three guys trying to show each other up. Randy Orton has been a great heel champion, but Cena only dropped the title due to an injury, so the title will go back to Cena. John Cena beats Randy Orton with the FU. Orton and Triple H need to work out their differences after Wrestlemania before a number one contender can be determined.
World Heavyweight Championship Match: Edge (c) vs. Undertaker
The Undertaker will finally get the long title reign that he deserves. He'll keep the strap for probably 8-9 months or maybe up to a year after he wins at Wrestlemania, so it will be interesting to see if Smackdown shows much improvement. This will most liekly be a very good 4 1/2 star wrestling match, with Undertaker showing how much he really has left in him.
And that's the end of my predictions for the final pro wrestling event of WWE's season, Wrestlemania!
