Now that we're officially on the Road to WrestleMania 34, what is your realistic WM34 card? By that I mean no Undertaker/Sting in a Double Retirement Match (although I'd still like to see that) or Stone Cold teaming with Rousey, etc. So with that being said, here's my WM34 Card:
K1: Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Here you'll find guys like Ziggler, Corbin, Jinder, Elias, Kane, etc. start off the night. Lets go with Elias getting the big win and performing a concert afterwards
K2: Sasha Banks and Bayley (RAW) vs. Becky Lynch and Natalya (SD)
It's very hard for me to find a spot on the main card for these the first three women listed, and a battle royal just seems redundant. Build this up as a RAW vs. SD match, which is why you get Natalya teaming up with Becky. Team SD gets the win, leading to even more frustration between Sasha and Bayley, leading to Sasha going complete heel the next night on RAW.
K3: Cruiserweight Finals: Hideo Itami vs. Cedric Alexander
Why call up Itami if you aren't going to make him champion? Give them as much time as they want and really put on a great show right before the main card starts. Itami wins with the GTS
1. Ladder Match for the SD Tag Team Titles: Usos(c) vs. New Day vs. Bludgeon Brothers vs. Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin vs. Rusev Day
Here's your annual WM Ladder Match to start the show. You'll see some crazy spots from Kofi and Shelton, and there will be a lot of carnage around the ring. Lets go with the Bludgeon Brothers winning the titles and starting a dominant reign on SD Live.
2. RAW Women's Championship: Alexa Bliss(c) vs. Nia Jax
According to reports, this will be the RAW Women's match. It's hard for me to not put Sasha Banks on this card, or even Bayley, but a fatal four-way would be almost identical to last years match. I also can't take Alexa Bliss out as she deserves to go into this WM as champion as she has been champion for so long now. I'm gonna go with a twist, and have Alexa Bliss win due to Absolution coming out and assisting her in the win. She now becomes the leader of the group.
3. RAW Tag Team Championship: The Bar(c) vs. Woken Matt&Bray Wyatt
This is a bit of an odd ball, but I feel like the Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt (surprise surprise) feud has been a let down. I also feel the Mania card is too stacked to justify them having a one on one match in any capacity, even a Final Deletion type. So lets throw a curveball and have them try to become tag team champions. The Bar wins though, and let's have the Hardy/Wyatt feud culminate at the next PPV in Final Deletion or whatever.
4. United States Championship: Bobby Roode(c) vs. Randy Orton
I can see this match happening at WM whether it's for the US Title or not. I just can't see Roode dropping the title already, and I can see Orton wanting to go after the 1 title he's never had. Idc which one turns heel leading to the match, but one of them needs to. I'd have Orton win this one after reversing Roode's finisher into an RKO.
5. Fatal 4-Way for the IC Title: The Miz(c) vs. Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe vs. Finn Balor
I think this would challenge the WWE Title as MOTN, and it would probably be the best way to utilize these 4 guys as there's no other big match that any could really be in without being in a throwaway match. I would go with Balor pulling off the win to become Intercontinental Champion and begin a strong reign as a fighting champion. The Miz will leave to be with his kid, while Samoa Joe and Seth Rollins will go to SD Live in the Superstar Shakeup.
6. SD Women's Championship: Charlotte Flair(c) vs. Asuka
According to reports, Asuka will be moving to Smackdown to challenge Charlotte. I feel this is a good move as this is the best match they could put together in the women's division. Asuka isn't losing this match as she'll beat Charlotte, AND then also beating Carmella in her cash-in attempt.
7. John Cena vs. Braun Strowman
This is a match only happens if Undertaker does not wrestle (which I do not have happening. Just feel like he would've returned by now for a WM match.) I would set up at Elimination Chamber with the whole Chamber teaming up on Strowman to eliminate him. When he recovers to exit, he takes out his anger on everybody, especially Cena. He does his power slam to Cena on the steel, then throws him through a pod, which leads to an easy elimination. This leads to a big match at WM with Cena wanting to take out Strowman, but I would have Strowman win at WM.
8. Daniel Bryan&Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens&Sami Zayn
This match might be the least likely to happen, but I can also see it happening to help keep DB around. If Daniel Bryan doesn't wrestle at this WM, then he's gone from the WWE and you know Vince does not want to lose him as he's still one of the most over guys on TV. Let Shane work a majority of this match, Bryan gets the hot tag, and they win with him tapping out Owens.
9. Mixed Tag: Kurt Angle&Ronda Rousey vs. HHH&Stephanie McMahon
It's safe to assume that this will happen as well since I don't see The Rock returning for this Mania. And of course, Angle and Rousey will win this match as there is no way Rousey is losing her debut match
10. WWE Championship: AJ Styles(c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
This match is practically set in stone with one title defense at Fast Lane standing in the way. WWE won't tease us this close to WM and not deliver this match that everybody has wanted since Nakamura came over to the US. I predict that Styles retains the title though
11. NO DQ's for the Universal Championship: Brock Lesnar(c) vs. Roman Reigns
We know that this is happening, and if it's anything like their WM31 match, it should be one helluva main event. Reigns wins the title
So there's my WM34 card. 11 main card matches with 3 kickoff show matches totaling 14, which is only 1 more than last year. What do y'all think of this card, and what are some of your own WM34 predictions?
K1: Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal
