Ashley Janey, and as usual, I want to give thanks
to God for blessing me to do another bonus episode,
(00:51):
and I also want to thank everyone for tuning in
as well. And excuse me if I sound a little
tired because it has been a long day, but I
had to do this episode because of wrestle Mania forty
one that's today, and today's bonus is going to be
about my predictions from wrestle Mania forty one that will
take place in Las Vegas, akac And City on today
(01:16):
and Sunday, April twentioth that would stream on the Peacock
app So let's.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Get into it.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
So I'm definitely very excited and looking forward to this
year's Mania because number one, they are in Vegas, and
it's been thirty two years since the last Mania was there,
which was WrestleMania nine where Yo Kazuna and Bret Hart.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Was in the main event.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
But I'm definitely excited about the matches that will take place,
and I'm sure some of the superstars are going to
hit the Jackpie by becoming Victorias at Mania. So the
first match I want to discuss is Roman Reigns versus
Seth Roylands versus Senia Palm.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
So we just learned that Paul Haymen we'll be managing.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Punk that night since that was part of the favor,
So it's gonna so it's kind of gonna It's gonna
be kind of scranged to not see Haymen by Roman
Sab because we're so used to seeing Hayman by Roman Sab.
But I do predict that Punk is gonna win this match,
and it's because he has a wrestled at Mania in
(02:24):
years and he did not get a chance to compete
last year. And I do believe that a betrayal might
take place cause a Punk to win, and I believe
that Hayman mat turned his back on Roman to Sab
of Punk being Punk's right hand man because he can't
represent both, he has to choose one, and that one.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Will be Punk.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
And I really do hope that and I really do
hope that happens because it's gonna make things more interesting
and I think it's gonna happen. So it's the end
of the match where anything can happen in any time
because if that happens.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
The question is who will Roaman shooes as.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
His next right hand man and how long will with
this rivalry last between him and Punk and what favor
does hayman O seth So we should see, but that's
pretty much my prediction for that match, that seeing Punk
is gonna win that trimple threat match. Now, the match
I want to discuss is gonthro versus jay Usso for
(03:25):
the World Heavyweight Championship, and of course I have my
money on jay Usso to become the new champ. Is
because he has come a long way in his career
by seaming up with his bro becoming multiple time tag
team champs, ye becoming an IC champion winning this year
is royal rumble, and now he has a chance to
(03:47):
take home the big prize, which he will do because
after Gonthra attacked Jimmy a few weeks ago on RAW.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You know that pretty much added more a few to.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
The fire because he came after Jimmy, which was a
huge no no because that's his blood.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Then Ganther handcuffed.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Him to ensure he couldn't help Jimmy out and he
made him watch the beating, which was the worst part
because part of Jay took that beating with Jimmy as well,
and with them being identical twins, it hit extremely hard
for Jay.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So retribution is definitely on his mind.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
And I could tell by the statement he made to
gone Through last Monday on RAW that he's serious and
he's gonna handle business and he's gonna get payback and
become the new champion. So I'm definitely looking forward to
this match, So let's go Jay Ye. The match between
Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair is gonna be one of
(04:46):
the matches I'm gonna be looking forward to, and it's
because I like both Tiffany and Charlotte and it seems
like they have some personal beef for one another, which
is gonna make the match a must see. Say that
Tiffany has come a long way in her career by
dominating the NXT and then make a whole way over
to the main roster where she was still handling her
(05:10):
business where she won money in the bank and then
eventually becoming a Women's Champion by cashing it in. So
she's already been oppressive for some time. But Tiffany and
Charlotte do have some similarities, which is gonna make this
match insurrested because Charlotte also dominated on NXT before coming
(05:31):
over to the main roster and eventually becoming a Women's Champion,
so they definitely know what it's like to succeed. And
they both are very athletic, with Charlotte having a background
and fitness and Tiffany having a background in gymnastics. So
this is gonna be a very great match. But predicting
the winner of this match was not easy for me
(05:53):
because again they both.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Are one of my favorites. But I finally made.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
A decision, and you know, I think Tiffany is gonna
it's gonna beat Charlotte because as we all know that
Charlotte has participated and won multiple Mania matches, so now
it's time to pass the torch over to other women
like Tiffany who's never competed at Mania to defend the title,
and who's who has stepped up her game big time
(06:20):
ever since winning the title. So in my opinion, it
will make sense for her to defeat Charlotte to win
her first WrestleMania to retain to retain her title, which
would be well deserved. And even though it will be
hard to see Charlotte loose because she did in fact
win the Rumble after returning from an injury that had
(06:40):
her sideline for over a year, but you know, it's
like at the same time, who wants to see the
same person.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Win over and over again?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
You know when it's about that time to pass the
torch over. So that's why I predict that Tiffany will
win her first WrestleMania. So I'm definitely looking forward to
that match, and the match between the war Raiders and
the New Day for the tag titles is going to
be a decent match. But I do believe that the
war Raiders are gonna handle business because they do have it.
(07:13):
They do make a great team, and they have come
a lot. They have overcome a lot of injuries in
their careers as well, and they work to redeem themselves
so they definitely are deserving of retaining their tag team
titles at Mania. And the match between La Knight and
Jacob Fatu for the US title was.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Definitely going to be a great match.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
But I think that Jacob is gonna win his first
singles title and excuse me, and I feel like he
is deserving of becoming a champion because every since he's
been on the main roster, he's been dominated like he
did in the indie scene, So seeing him as the
US champion will be cool and what a way to do.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
It at Mania.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
But at the same time, it's like I don't want
to see La Louise because he is one of my
favorites as well. But you know, I think it's time
for the Simonos for the Simono and.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Wearwoop to win the title.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
So he can't start a rivalry with his cousin Solo
Socoa for the US title since so since it appears
they has some issues with one another, So let's go, Jacob,
go ahead and do it. And the match between Rayvens
Stereo El Grande and El Grande Americano aka Chad Gable
(08:31):
because we all know it's him, and of course that's
going to be a quick win for Ray, because first
of all, this is a Hall of Famer we're talking about,
and he's beating the best of his career, so there's
no way he finna lose to Chad Gable.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
So let's go.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Ray and the third match I'm looking forward, So it's
the match between the Storm, j Car Gill and Naomi,
And we already know what led up to this match,
and I predicted in the earlier episode than they Ayomi
could have been evolved in the attack, and I was
right because I remember the look she had on her
face when Bianca in the backstage commentators would talk about Jade.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
But of course I.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Predict that Jade we will definitely, you know, get retribution
and walk away victorious because the way she came back
and attack Naomi at elimination, Chambers said a lot, and
every since Jade has been back and Naomi has been
ducking and dodging her because she don't want to take
no more punishment from Jade. But I still say it's
(09:33):
gonna be a good match because Naomi is not going
without a fight, and she's now of course the heel,
so it's gonna be interesting to see her as a
heel with her new gimmick where she warns people to
be cautious of her. But Jay gonna definitely handle business
like she always do because she's another one that dominated
(09:54):
at another promotion and then came over to the main
roster still dominated and breaking barrier is for other women
and future women superstars, and I feel like she's very
deserved of winning her first single match for her first
singles match at Mania, So definitely beware of the storm.
So those are pretty much my predictions for Russell Mannia
(10:16):
forty one ninety one. Now I want to get into
Night two, which I hope becomes a historic Russell Mania
moment with John Cena possibly becoming a seventeen time champion,
which I'm going to get into in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
But the first match I wanted to discuss is the triple.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Threat match between El Sky, Ria Ripley, and the Est
Bianca bell Are for the Women's World Heavyweight Champion, So
I definitely want to see Bianca winm And this was
another match that was kind of hard to predict because
I'm also a fan of Ria Ripley and El Sky
(10:54):
is growing on me as well. But Ria was a
champion about a month and a half ago, and Eo
had her shines to be champion. And yes, Bianca is
a former champion as well, but it has been a
while since she's held gold and she's still undefeated a Mania,
and I think she should probably and I think she
(11:15):
should remain undefeated ar Mania and soil possibly next year's Mania,
and I'm going to get into that in a few
as well. But I would definitely love to see Beyanca
win another title at Mania, since she did fight hard
to make a to Mania. Despite of what happened to
Jade and her friendship with Naomi, she still persevered and
(11:36):
that's why I feel like she's deserving of winning that Mania.
But another reason why I want to see her win
the title is because I still want to see her
and Jade battle in the future, and why not do
it that next year as WrestleMania.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And I did notice.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yesterday on SmackDown that Jay got upset with Bianca about
stopping her from her to Naomi, So that can be
a sign that a man between them. It's in the making,
and I hope it happens because that's one of my
dream matches and I would love to see j win
the title from Bianca and next year's WrestleMania. So that's
why I want to see Bianca win tomorrow so her
(12:15):
and Jay can battle at next year's WrestleMania for the title.
And the next match I want to discuss is liv
Morgan at Roquel Rodriguez versus Bailey and Laura Virkiria for
the Women's tag team titles. So I must say that
Bailey and Lyra make a very great team and they
had a very great match against one another for the
(12:38):
Women's IC title, and I predict that they will be
the new Women's Tag Team Champions and that will be
a plus for Lara with her being the Women's.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
IC Champion, so that means she will.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Walk away with two titles, making historist being the first
woman to be a women's tag team champion and the
Women's ICY Champion.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
That would be a great moment.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
For Bailey as well to walk away to walk away
with gold. So I'm hoping they can win, and I
have a feeling they're gonna do with too. In the
fatal four way match between bron Breaker, Pencer Dominick Mysterio
and Fan Viler for the for the IC Championship.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
It's definitely gonna be a great match.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
But I do believe that Breaker will retain his title
at Mania because he has definitely had a great run
as the Icy Champion and I feel he deserves to
win his first WrestleMania because he's another superstar that dominated
on n XT and made it to the main roster.
It continued his domination to eventually becoming an Icy Champion,
(13:44):
and he even has one of the best spearits I've
ever seen too. But it's not going to be an
easy battle because he has to he has to watch
out for Pencer, and I actually like Pencer because he's
definitely been oppressive since he's came over to the roster
and I would have and I would have loved to
see him win that Mania, but I just really want
(14:06):
to see Breaker take it home, and I'm sure Pencil
will be the Champion of near future. So the match,
the next match I want to talk about is the
match between aj Styles or Logan Paul and it's uh
and I think it's gonna be a decent match because
even though I'm not a huge fan of Logan Paul,
I must say that he is a good wrestler, and
(14:28):
he will give anyone a fight that steps to him.
But when it comes to AJ Stowles, it's gonna be
a challenge, and I think that AJ will win because
he is of course phenomenon, let's not forget that. So
overall it's gonna be a good match.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
But Aj is definitely a legend in the future Hall
of Famer, so I definitely see him winning that.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
This year's Mania, Now that street fight that's gonna take
place between Damian Priest.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And Drew McIntyre, I believe.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I believe it's gonna be a battle, and it's because
they have a lot of unfinished business that still needs
to be settled, and they have been having issues with
one another since last year when Damien cashed in on
him at Mania. So I believe that Damian will be
Drew and it's going to be a battle. So now
for the Grand Finale, the main event between Cody Rose
(15:20):
and John Cena for the WWE Championship. So if some
of you all know that John Cena is one of
my all time favorite wrestlers. Rather he's a babyface or
a heel, he's still one of my favorites and I
definitely want to see him win his seventeen title, and
even though I don't want to see Cody drop the
(15:41):
title since he's one of my favorite current superstars, I
just want to see Sena make history before he retires
for good. And I do want to see Cody regain
the title later this year because if Sena being the
heel and Cody still a babyface makes the match more
interested because we already saw what Sena is capable of doing.
(16:03):
What he's capable of doing, that's a heel, which is
gonna add more fuel to the fire. But I do
say this match is gonna be unforgettable because it's a
good chance that history could be made, in which I
hope happens.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
But I definitely have my money on Sena to do it.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
But you know, Cody ain't going without a fight because
Cody is very resilient. He's not afraid to give Sena
a run for his money. But I do say that
it's gonna be a great match, and I do believe
that Sena will become a seventeen time champion. So we're
just gonna so we only way we could find out
it's just about watching on Sunday night. But I got
(16:42):
but hey, I got my money on Sena, let's do it.
And I also understand that Randy order that Kevin Owens
was supposed to fight at Mania, but dude, to Kevin
Owens's neck injury, it won't happen. But I do believe
that Randy will fight someone at Mania, but I believe
it's going to be a surprise surprise opponent because this
(17:04):
is this will be considered his twentieth Mania, so why
not surprise Randy with an opponent he didn't see coming.
So those are pretty much my predictions for this year's
WrestleMania and I hope you all enjoy this bonus episode
