Prophecies of The Tocc
WrestleMania XXXV 2019
Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch vs. CharlotteTriple Threat WWE Raw & SmackDown Women's Championship MatchPrediction:Becky Lynch
Prophecy:This was Becky's match from day one. But it got complicated when fans started booing Ronda. I'm so glad Ronda is finally embracing her true self. Immediately she's the best thing on WWE. That said, I think she's also dead set against losing, especially to a catch wrestler. So this is why they added Charlotte to the match. Now Becky can pin Charlotte and Ronda doesn't lose face. To take Ronda out of the equation, maybe we'll even get some surprise interference by someone Ronda actually respects. Shana, are you ready?
Result:Becky Lynch wins

Daniel Bryan vs. Kofi KingstonWWE ChampionshipPrediction:Kofi Kingston
Prophecy:Much like Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, and other top-of-the-undercard guys, Kofi will get his moment in the sun at Mania.
This is my lock.
Result:Kofi Kingston wins

Brock Lesnar vs. Seth RollinsWWE Universal ChampionshipPrediction:Seth Rollins
Prophecy:If Roman didn't return, I'd call this one 100% for Rollins as a passing of the torch. But now Reigns is back. So it really could go either way. I'm hoping Rollings' push doesn't get derailed by Big Uce.
Result:Seth Rollins wins

Samoa Joe vs. Rey MysterioWWE United States ChampionshipPrediction:Samoa Joe
Prophecy:There's been nothing that has made me think Rey will get a run with this title. The only reason I can think of would be to pass it along to anther heel.
Result:Samoa Joe wins

Bobby Lashley vs. Finn BalorWWE Intercontinental ChampionshipPrediction:Finn Balor
Prophecy:It's official. As suspected, Balor will compete as the Demon. That not only means he'll win, but it also means this will now be the queerest match on the card.
Result:Finn Balor wins

Buddy Murphy vs. Tony NeseWWE Cruiserweight ChampionshipPrediction:Buddy Murphy
Prophecy:He's been champ for a long time, especially by Cruiserweight standards, and if he's going to drop the title Mania would be a likely event to do it. But not betting against him has worked out well for me. So I'll ride it out until the end.
Result:Tony Nese wins

Bayley & Sasha Banks vs. The IIconics vs. The Divas of Doom vs. Nia Jax & TaminaFatal 4-Way for the WWE Women's Tag Team ChampionshipPrediction:Bayley & Sasha Banks
Prophecy:While I think it's just a matter of time for the Iiconics, I can see the champs retaining here.
Result:The IIconics wins

The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle RoyalPrediction:Apollo Crews
Prophecy:Strowman is still a top pick, but this match has gone to underdogs in the past. Maybe Ali, EC3, Andrade, or Apollo. Maybe even Titus.
Result:Braun Strowman wins

WrestleMania Women's Battle RoyalPrediction:Ruby Riott
Prophecy:This really comes down to who the WWE would like to throw a bone to. Naomi won last year and it did next to nothing for her other than placate her for about a month after recently losing the title. Maybe it will do the same for Asuka. Or maybe the spotlight will shine on someone new. I'd love to see it go to Nikki, Liv, or Dana, but those are real long shots. I'll go out on a limb for Ruby though. She deserves it and has a shot.
Result:Carmella wins

A.J. Styles vs. Randy OrtonPrediction:A.J. Styles
Prophecy:Love this match. And the build-up has basically broken kayfabe since the onset. At least the trash talking has. Good stuff from both guys. I'm going with AJ, because as Orton said in not as nice words, he's WWE's new darling.
Result:A.J. Styles wins

Kurt Angle vs. Baron CorbinAngle's Retirement MatchPrediction:Kurt Angle
Prophecy:Farewell, Kurt. A win over Corbin will wrap up the long-running SmackDown GM storyline, that never really had a resolution.
Result:Baron Corbin wins

Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyrePrediction:Roman Reigns
Prophecy:With these two guys, next year this could be the main event. McIntyre is slowly building credibility. Given Roman's circumstances it's good for him that they found a place for him on the card. And this is a big match for Drew.
Result:Roman Reigns wins

Batista vs. Triple HNo Holds Barred for HHH's In-Ring CareerPrediction:Triple H
Prophecy:Now that HHH's in-ring career is on the line, it looks like he'll win. They always seem to want to use him for the foreign mega-shows and Mania, and he's still in good shape - certainly way better than Taker in his last matches. Weird that Batista would want to come back for a retirement match that he loses, but it wouldn't be the first time guys go out on a loss. Ric Flair famously did it. Anyway this whole feud is dumb and forced and I don't expect much from this match.
Result:Triple H wins

Shane McMahon vs. The MizFalls Count AnywherePrediction:The Miz
Prophecy:I can't see Shane putting himself over Miz after all this "best in the world" stuff. Now it's Miz's time to collect on the push. Here's what's going to happen. Shane is going to climb to the top of a giant scaffold and jump off trying to land on Miz. Mr. Miz is going to pull his son out of the way and Miz will get the pin on a pile of debris.
Result:Shane McMahon wins

The Usos vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet vs. The Bar vs. Nakamura & RusevFatal 4-Way for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team ChampionshipPrediction:The Usos
Prophecy:I understand that by making triple threat and fatal 4-way matches they can squeeze more performers onto the card, but the match quality never lives up to 1 on 1 (or 1 team vs 1 team) matches. As for the winner here, I think Usos retain. Black & Ricochet and NakaRusev are only teams because creative has nothing else for them right now. The Bar just had this title back in January. Usos will go down as one of the greatest tag teams of their generation, and they are still in their prime.
Result:The Usos wins
1 Point Awarded

The Revival vs. Hawkins & RyderWWE Raw Tag Team ChampionshipPrediction:The Revival
Prophecy:It took the Revival a long time to get these titles. It's been short relative to the length of time Hawkins and Ryder have been jobbing, but I don't see the titles changing hands. Awesome that H&R got a match on the Mania card though.
Result:Hawkins & Ryder win
