Ok, I suspect they won't add any further matches to the WM card, as it is already stacked as it is, but I guess now is as good a time as any to start the predictions down.
Andre the Giant Battle Royal - Could see this going Big Show's way. After Shaq flaked on him after he put in the hard yards I suspect they might give to him to make up for that. Failing that I have no real idea, and don't especially care. Would be good to see Ziggler win it, but I'm not sure if he's even included, and I think it's time to give up on him now. Edit: But somehow I had totally forgotten Braun, who should definitely win.
Gallows/Anderson v Enzo/Cass v Cesaro/Sheamus - This has Enzo and Cass written all over it, but I'd rather Cesaro and Sheamus won. As previously, Enzo has really begun to get on my wick in recent months.
Neville v Aries - This should be one of the matches of the night. Easily the two best cruiserweights the E has, and two of the best in the world. I'll go for Neville here.
Smackdown Women's match - Really not sure about this, especially as there are rumours about Asuka being added. Could see any of the participants winning to be honest. I'll go for Carmella because I think she's great. Failing that, Bliss to retain.
Ambrose v Corbin - Corbin. If not, he will surely beat Ambrose for the title very soon, but I suspect he'll get the win here, and he should.
Cena/Nikki v Miz/Maryse - I'd love Miz and Maryse to win, but it surely won't happen. Cena and Nikki to win, followed by wedding proposal.
Jericho v KO - Owens to get the win here. Love Jericho, but there's no reason at all for him to win this one. Owens is hot at the moment and needs it far more than Jericho does, especially as Y2J is going back to Fozzy very soon iirc.
Raw Women's Match - Can't see Charlotte winning the title again, and doubt they will put the belt on Nia, so it's a shootout between Sasha and Bayley. I think I'll go with a Bayley retention leading to a Sasha turn.
AJ v Shane - Concerningly, I don't think the outcome to this one is a foregone conclusion. Thanks to AJ's great work on this feud (because everything he touches turns to gold, WAFG), I'm actually way more keen to see this than I thought I would be. He never has a bad match either, so this should be ok at worst. I just hope he wins, and I think he will. AJ to emerge victorious.
Undertaker v Roman - Ergh, Words cannot describe how much I am at all interested in this. Taker looks sure to be on his way out, and his general condition/ring work have been awful of late. As that's the case, I can't see any good reason for him beating Roman. The crowd will crap all over this, but Roman to win. Just relieved that the streak is not still a thing.
Wyatt v Orton - I'm genuinely not sure who is meant to be the face/heel here, but oh well, it's been perfectly ok to watch. Should be a good match. Hope the E will do the right thing and put Bray over.
Goldberg v Lesnar - If Lesnar doesn't win I will be extremely surprised.
So I guess there we have it. Having run over the card, whilst I am not thrilled by most it (or in fact any of it, really), and it doesn't really seem like a Wrestlemania card, there isn't really anything on there that I think will be flat out bad, and I suspect it is a show that I will end up enjoying more than I expect. Hopefully anyway.
