I got to admit, there are a couple of matches I have no idea at this time who is going to win or how certain things are going to play out. I love that.

The Pat McAfee Show Live From WrestleMania XL | Friday April 5th, 2024

[TKO]

I will literally cry if Cody wins all I want this year

[TKO]

Card:

Night 1:

The Bloodline (The Rock and Roman Reigns) vs. Cody Rhodes and Seth "Freakin" Rollins
If Rhodes and Rollins win, all members of The Bloodline will be barred from ringside during the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match on Night 2. If Rock and Reigns win, the championship match on Night 2 will be held under Bloodline Rules.

Makes perfect sense for the rock to pin Seth Rollins in my opinion no way they’re gonna have Roman or rock or Cody be pinned on night one so it has to be Seth and if Cody is winning there’s no way he’s gonna win two matches or lose two matches he has to lose one

World Women's Championship
Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Becky Lynch

Rhea

Intercontinental Championship
Gunther (c) vs. Sami Zayn

Another tough choice I want Gunther but I could see Sammy winning it it’s been going on for a long time

Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship Ladder match
"Six Pack" Ladder Match
Damian Priest & Finn Balor (c) vs. DIY vs. New Day vs. Miz & R-Truth vs. New Catch Republic vs. A-Town Down Under

Pretty much a toss up, but if Damian is going to cash in then he needs to lose this match title could see the awesome truth for nostalgic purposes, possibly DIY

Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair & Naomi vs. WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Asuka & Kairi Sane & Dakota Kai.

The sexy find a black woman after Jade, get the pin

Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee vs. Dominik Mysterio & Santos Escobar

Dragon, Mysterio

Jey Uso vs. Jimmy Uso

Couldn’t care less, I guess the good guy

Night 2:

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Cody Rhodes
Stipulation to be determined by the result of Night 1's main event.

Hopefully Cody Rhodes, after complete chaos, possibly Stonecoal, John Cena et cetera interference ends with brandy, his daughter and dog in the ring fireworks going off et cetera, like Chris Benoit or Daniel Bryan, Bret Hart

World Heavyweight Championship
Seth "Freakin" Rollins (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
(Guest announcer for match is CM Punk)

Tough choice could go either way, but I feel like Seth is not going to get pin twice so I can see him winning and then Damian cashing in

WWE Women's Championship
Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bayley

Bayley
United States Championship
Logan Paul (c) vs. Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens

Randy Orton, after a crazy RKO to Logan

LA Knight vs. AJ Styles

LA knight yeah

Philadelphia Street Fight
Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits vs. Karrion Kross & The Authors of Pain.

Bobby Lashley Street, profit win

[Smartmark]

Here are my predictions for Wrestlemania 40. My winners are in red.


Night 1


Six-Woman Tag Team Matchup
Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, and Naomi Vs Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai, Asuka, and Kairi Sane)

Singles Matchup
Jey Uso Vs Jimmy Uso

Tag Team Matchup
Latino World Order (Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee) vs. Santos Escobar and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio

^^ Hopefully Carlito appears and backstabs Rey. It would be so awesome to have LWO become a heel stable with Lee, Escobar and Carlito.

Singles Matchup For The WWE Intercontinental Championship
Gunther (c) Vs Sami Zayn

Singles Matchup For The Women's World Championship
Rhea Ripley (c) Vs Becky Lynch

Six-Pack Tag Team Ladder Matchup For The Undisputed WWE Tag Team ChampionshipsThe Judgment Day (Finn Bálor and Damian Priest) (c) Vs #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) Vs The Awesome Truth (The Miz and R-Truth) Vs The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) Vs A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory and Grayson Waller) Vs New Catch Republic (Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate)

^^ I can easily see WWE giving Miz and Truth the rub here. I have never been a fan of either, but they are true workhorses, and it would be a feel good moment I guess.

Tag Team Matchup
The Bloodline (The Rock and Roman Reigns) Vs Cody Rhodes and Seth "Freakin" Rollins


Night 2


Singles Matchup For The World Heavyweight Championship
Seth Rollins (c) Vs Drew Mcintyre

Singles Matchup For The Women's WWE Championship
Io Sky (c) Vs Bayley

Singles Matchup
LA Knight Vs AJ Styles

Triple Threat Matchup For The WWE United States Championship
Logan Paul (c) Vs Randy Orton Vs Kevin Owens

Six-Man Tag Team Philadelphia Street Fight
The Pride (Bobby Lashley, Angelo Dawkins, and Montez Ford) (with B-Fab) Vs The Final Testament (Karrion Kross, Akam, and Rezar) (with Scarlett and Paul Ellering)

Singles Matchup For The WWE Universal Championship
Roman Reigns (c) Vs Cody Rhodes

^^ Everything can happen in this match to be honest, and I will give WWE one thing, there is absolutely impossible to call the winner in this match, and that's not typical, as it's normally pretty easy to predict the outcome of WWE's big matches, as they follow certain patterns and rules and have always done so. But I would not be surprised if we see a bunch of people interfering in this match. From The Rock to Goldust to Rikishi to Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa.

^^ A No-Contest or Double Count-Out between Jimmy and Jay would actually work. Problem is that the Marks would hate it and dont understand the symbolism.

Yeah I agree. It makes no sense for either one to win IMO. Of course there could be interference by anyone as well leading to a No Contest.
