Hello, I'm your host Henry Keys, and with just days until WrestleMania, I am here today to breakdown and preview the card for this massive event. Let's get into it.
WrestleMania Card:
Roman Reigns vs Cesaro- Brand Warfare Match
The opening match of WrestleMania will see Raw's Roman Reigns taking on SmackDown's Cesaro. The winning brand's representative will receive a world title match at any time of their choosing, and the winning brand will receive the first overall pick in the first ever WWE Draft. Cesaro has made it clear that he is fighting for SmackDown, his home, while Reigns is all business.
Itami and Balor(c) vs The Wyatt Family vs #DIY- Elimination Match for the World Tag Team Titles
Three of Raw's premier teams will face off in this elimination triple threat match. Both Hideo and Finn have taken a lot of punishment this week, so the stage may be set to crown new champions. By the way, the way this match will work is The Wyatts will face #DIY first, with the winners facing Itami and Balor and the losers being eliminated.
Shinsuke Nakamura vs Tyler Breeze
This Clash of Kings pits the King of Strong Style, Shinsuke Nakamura, against the King of Cuteville, Tyler Breeze. Nakamura seemed to get into Breeze's head on SmackDown, but does Prince Pretty have some tricks up his sleeve?
Asuka(c) vs Sasha Banks- Raw Women's Title Match
The Empress of Tomorrow will look to make the first defense of her reign in the main event of Part 1, as she faces Sasha Banks. The Legit Boss outright stole the title a few weeks ago on Raw, but paid for it after a brutal reprisal from Asuka.
American Alpha(c) vs The Revival- WWE Tag Team Title Match
These two rival teams will collide once more at WrestleMania, but the stakes were raised when Daniel Bryan announced this past week that the losers of this match cannot challenge for the tag titles for a whole year. Gable and Jordan have been dominant, but Dash and Dawson have had their number in the past.
Chris Jericho(c) vs John Cena- United States Title Match
The Face That Runs the Place answered Chris Jericho's US Open Challenge on Raw, and goaded Y2J into accepting this big WrestleMania match. Jericho stole a win over Cena on Raw, so the leader of the Cenation will be looking for a little payback.
Alexa Bliss(c) vs Charlotte- SmackDown Women's Title Match
SmackDown pushed the boundaries of women's wrestling a few weeks ago, when they hosted a one night tournament to crown a number one contender. Charlotte won two matches on that night, and may well be considered the favorite as she faces beloved champion Alexa Bliss.
Dean Ambrose vs The Undertaker- Hell in a Cell
Hell awaits the Lunatic Fringe, who's controversial actions over the past few months have turned most fans against him. Ambrose has shown no fear of the Deadman, but he may not yet understand the depths that The Undertaker will sink to for revenge...
Randy Orton(c) vs Tyson Kidd vs Braun Strowman- Intercontinental Title Match
From what we saw on SmackDown, this may turn into a handicap match, as Orton and Strowman seem to still be allies. However, even the best of friends have been torn apart by championships in the past.
Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn- Last Man Standing Match
These two bitter rivals have had many wars in the past, and now gear up for one more. Kevin made the challenge, but Sami upped the ante by making this a Last Man Standing match. This grudge match will likely steal the show, but will either man be able to walk out of WrestleMania?
AJ Styles(c) vs Shawn Michaels- WWE Title Match
This dream match became a reality when HBK became number one contender at Elimination Chamber. Despite a cordial relationship in the past, this rivalry has quickly become a blood feud. AJ Styles and Shawn Michaels have crossed the line several times, with Michaels delivering an earth-shattering elbow drop this past Tuesday. One has to wonder if these two men can put their differences aside to entertain the fans, or will this be an all-out brawl?
Goldberg(c) vs Samoa Joe- World Heavyweight Title Match
The main event of WrestleMania will see the Myth meet the Destroyer, as Goldberg faces Samoa Joe. There has been plenty of physicality between both men, and with Shane McMahon added a No Holds Barred Stipulation, there will be plenty at WrestleMania. Since his Universe Mode debut at Survivor Series, Goldberg has only lost twice in televised matches. He is as close to an unstoppable force as anyone could be. He will go up against Universe Mode's most dangerous man, the 2017 Royal Rumble winner Samoa Joe. Joe has a chip on his shoulder and plenty to prove, and this should be a classic.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you've enjoyed my rundown of the card for WrestleMania. Be sure to tune in Saturday and Sunday to check out all three parts. Take card.
