WWE WrestleMania 2025 Spoilers

Singles Match for the Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. John Cena

That heel turn saved this. Without that, a babyface vs. babyface match between these two would have been a disaster for Cody Rhodes, as some fans would have cheered him losing. Granted, that is still going to happen to a certain extent, as heel Cena is so new and exciting that we're all curious to see what he does with that gimmick.

I fully expect Rhodes to lose the title and for Cena to embark on his 17th world championship run as the top heel in the company. And you know what? Even though I was hoping we'd see Rhodes feuding with Randy Orton at WrestleMania instead, I think this is an even better option for who could dethrone The American Nightmare and still keep him looking strong. It's a heel John Cena, for crying out loud. Losing to him, especially if there are shenanigans involved, is no job.

PREDICTION: John Cena wins the title.

Triple Threat Match for the Women's World Championship: Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley

They took a long road to get to this point when they had nothing set up ahead of time. I don't agree with the idea behind all of this, nor do I think a feud that has been so rinse and repeat as to have what, like 5 segments where Belair and Ripley push Sky's face, is anything to gush over.

These three women will kill it in the ring, but this title and these Superstars deserved a better setup.

PREDICTION: The title changes hands, but I'm not yet sold on which one of the challengers wins.

Singles Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: Gunther (c) vs. Jey Uso

I hate to be that guy, but I know I'm not alone here in thinking that this is not feeling like it's WrestleMania-worthy for the world title by any means. It feels just barely more important than Sami Zayn's thrown-together match against Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship last year. Both matches, I think, are ultimately mistakes that are hurting The Ring General in the long run.

There's no denying Jey Uso is popular. Hell, I like the guy a lot, too. There's a part of me that wants to see him reach the mountain top, and I fully expect him to do that here. But I just don't think this is some Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 30 situation, nor will it be recapturing the magic of KofiMania. I think that's exactly what WWE is trying to replicate, mind you, but in the most low-effort way possible, and that lack of care combined with the manufactured attempt at lightning in a bottle is going to not look great when history comes back around.

To put it another way, I think the fans will go nuts for Uso winning the title in the moment, but it might not even be the main event of Saturday, and WWE won't know what to do with Uso as champion afterward. He'll be set up for some generic feuds post-Mania against some feeder talent like Finn Balor or whatever, and by the time SummerSlam comes around (or even earlier), WWE will be happy to take the title off him. I just don't think there will be any sticking power, but I hope I'm wrong, for Uso's sake.

PREDICTION: Jey Uso wins the title.

Singles Match for the WWE Women's Championship: Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Charlotte Flair

I wonder how far back they had this plan and how annoyed they must be at how they've had to pivot. That's on WWE, though, for not thinking ahead and working out the kinks in advance. They should've known Flair would become the heel if they weren't willing to do anything to present her in a way that fans should cheer. What makes me think that they didn't want Stratton as the babyface is how hesitant they've been to let her be that babyface. Other than teaming with Trish Stratus and feuding with Nia Jax (who everyone on the roster hates in kayfabe, including heels), there's nothing for Stratton to be a "hero" character about. My guess is they want Flair to win the title since she's at 14 out of 16 title reigns, and she'll drop the belt within 3 months at most, and their thought process will be that Stratton will be better off for having had this match with Flair even despite losing.

This feud sucks, by the way. Stratton feels outclassed in every scenario, and I wish I could say that's because Flair is so much better and more confident, but she actually just comes across bored. This feels very much like they put it on paper, left it alone, and when they got around to all of this, the energy just isn't there. I feel like the match itself will be fine, if not outright good, but I don't think it will be great, and it isn't going to take long before WWE resets Stratton back to being a heel.

PREDICTION: Charlotte Flair wins.

Triple Threat Match: CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins

I feel validated on my ongoing opinions about this being that these three will continue to put on a good show and be entertaining leading up to WrestleMania, as well as during the match itself, even if I have my issues with it being the main event.

I stand by saying that WWE should have done a better job with the World Heavyweight Championship and the two women's titles so that any of those three options could have feasibly been the rightful Saturday night main event. However, this storyline revolving around CM Punk finally getting that dream despite how Seth Rollins is trying to prevent it, and it also driving a wedge between Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman with Punk cashing in his favor to have Heyman be in his corner ringside for the match instead of with The Wise Man with The Tribal Chief...you got me...because that's far more interesting than the other three matches.

Effectively, this has taken up the Undertaker's Streak slot. Kudos to pulling that off.

With that being said, I do still think Punk should win this as a result of Heyman. I don't know the specifics of how that should go down, as it depends on where WWE wants to go afterward, but this is fun and I'll be there for the ride.

PREDICTION: CM Punk wins.

Kevin Owens vs. Randy Orton

This needs a gimmick. These two guys have to brawl in a Street Fight or Last Man Standing match or something. If it's just a normal match, I'm sure they'll have a good one, but it would upgrade this so much more if they get to use weapons and break the traditional rules. This likely ends with Orton punting Owens, who takes some time off.

Update: This match has been pulled from the card, as Owens apparently needs neck surgery. That's awful. Hopefully, he's able to rebound super soon and stronger than ever.

This means Orton currently doesn't have a match for WrestleMania, but after Orton gave Nick Aldis an RKO, that might be turned into a quick storyline. Maybe he faces Aldis? Maybe Aldis brings in someone to get back at Orton, like Aleister Black or Rusev?

PREDICTION: Randy Orton wins.

AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul

For the most part, this match is rather straightforward. They're feuding because Logan Paul should be on the card for media purposes, AJ Styles should be on the card for being a big name, they haven't fought each other yet, and it'll be a good match. That's pretty much it, but I can't say I fault WWE for going in this direction, as it was one of the few options on the table for Paul and Styles that wouldn't have left them in some multi-man match for the Intercontinental Championship or something else where they'd get lost in the shuffle.

PREDICTION: Logan Paul wins.

Jade Cargill vs. Naomi

I still don't think this feud is good enough to justify a spot at WrestleMania when there are some championships that will likely be left off the card, but whatever. Jade wins. They could've thought of something better.

PREDICTION: Jade Cargill wins.

United States Championship Match: LA Knight (c) vs. Jacob Fatu

Solo Sikoa just isn't doing anything at all for this card, is he? After being the backup plan that they milked as the top heel for nearly an entire year after WrestleMania XL, and after being set up perfectly to have a feud with Jacob Fatu to at least incorporate him there. Wow. That's one of the many signs that this year's WrestleMania card was just in shambles for a long time and that WWE really was flying by the seat of their pants over the past few months. The Rock really screwed them up.

Anyway, Fatu needs to win the title. Maybe he can at least feud with Sikoa after Mania. This could be better, like many other things, but I'll at least enjoy Fatu winning. If he doesn't, well...that'll be a mistake.

PREDICTION: Jacob Fatu wins the title.

Women's Tag Team Championship Match: The Judgment Day's Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez (c) vs. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria

Why is this on the card, but Valkyria isn't defending the Women's Intercontinental Championship, Chelsea Green isn't defending the Women's United States Championship, and the SmackDown men's tag team division isn't represented because the WWE Tag Team Championship is being defended on SmackDown instead? I get that Liv Morgan is popular, but WWE didn't put any effort into this whatsoever to feel like it deserves to overtake the spot that The Motor City Machine Guns and The Street Profits (and arguably the rest of the division like #DIY and Pretty Deadly and such) have much more earned, and it's a shame that three of the women's titles were just sidelined so much.

This is one of the least interesting, least impactful matches on the weekend, and it's not even going to matter at all because Morgan and Rodriguez will just retain.

They really should have done the team with Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross, or brought The Bella Twins back or something.

PREDICTION: Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez retain their titles.

Fatal 4-Way for the Intercontinental Championship: Bron Breakker (c) vs. Dominik Mysterio vs. Finn Balor vs. Penta

If I were booking things, I'd go with Dominik Mysterio walking out with the title. He's the most interesting scenario, since it would undoubtedly lead to the destruction of The Judgment Day. Plus, Dom deserves it. Bron Breakker's held it long enough, and while Penta has a lot of positives to becoming champion, I just think Dom is the way to go. It definitely shouldn't be Balor, I'll say that.

PREDICTION: Dominik Mysterio wins the title.

El Grande Americano vs. Rey Mysterio

This should be a mask versus mask match. Stipulations upgrade the card. Otherwise, this is a Raw feud that just so happens to have Mysterio in it to make sure he gets on the WrestleMania lineup.

PREDICTION: Rey Mysterio wins, unless they plan on stretching this out even further to do a mask match after WrestleMania. Then, Chad Gable wins in order to provoke that stipulation.

Sin City Street Fight: Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre

I still maintain that it's disappointing WWE didn't plan out something better for both of these guys and 12 months after their inciting incident and the feud that followed, they just ended up coming back around to them working together again as a plan B.

However, I like that this is a No DQ match, and I think that they're going to have one of the better matches on the show. Street fights are inherently more interesting at a baseline value than a regular singles match, so at least they're doing that.

PREDICTION: Damian Priest wins.

World Tag Team Championship Match: The War Raiders Erik & Ivar (c) vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods)

Look...I love The New Day, and War Raiders are awesome...but what the hell is this? They could have built this up for MONTHS, and instead, they waited until 2 weeks before WrestleMania and effectively said "Oh shit. We forgot about Raw's tag team division. Uh....how about these two teams? And then, we can do the match, but have it end in a disqualification, and then, just do it again? Good enough?"

Not only is that a piss poor build, but you'd think that that would then dictate that this has some kind of gimmick, right? If it wasn't WrestleMania in the modern era, I would be afraid that this would end up being a disqualification ending again, too.

It should be a lumberjack match or a steel cage match or something to spice it up. If you don't have a story ahead of time, and you're just banking on last-minute pairs of people you know will work together in the ring, saying "the match will be good, so I don't need to do my job beforehand" is so incredibly lazy.

PREDICTION: The New Day win the titles.
