Night one of WrestleMania XL is in the books. There are six matches on night two of WrestleMania XL, many of them championship matches. Some stories will be finished, others will begin anew tonight. Three of the six matches cannot end via disqualification. Sit back and enjoy, this will be a night to remember if night one was anything to go off of.
Bloodline Rules match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Cody Rhodes
The odds are stacked against the American Nightmare. After losing in last night’s main event against Roman Reigns and The Rock, Cody Rhodes must take on and take down Reigns in a no-disqualification setting. Last year, Cody was close to ending Roman’s reign but was thwarted by Solo Sikoa interfering.
Cody has a second chance at dethroning Roman, but he will need all the help he can get. What help will he get exactly? Since the match is under no disqualification rules, anybody can try to influence the outcome of the match. Will he get help from his friends? Will he have other legends such as “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and John Cena aid him when the numbers game is uneven? The main event of night two of WrestleMania XL might be the biggest spectacle WWE has ever put on.
Max: Cody wins
Jayden: Cody wins
Shane: Cody wins
Dacota: Cody wins
World Heavyweight Championship match: Seth Rollins (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre is done with playing second fiddle. He has tapped into the hater inside. McIntyre is ready to take advantage of an injured Seth Rollins after taking advantage of an opportunity he may not have had if CM Punk didn’t get injured. Seth just competed in an almost 45-minute match less than 24 hours prior and took a lot of damage in that main event.
The last time Drew McIntyre won at WrestleMania, there were no fans in the stands. McIntyre has been consumed by the chip on his shoulder he’s had over the last two years. He is more desperate than ever, but Seth Rollins may be just as desperate. Seth has had some close calls in the last couple of months. If Sami Zayn can beat Gunther for the championship, who’s to say the World Heavyweight Championship can’t change hands?
Max: McIntyre wins
Jayden: McIntyre wins
Shane: McIntyre wins (Damian Priest cashes in successfully)
Dacota: McIntyre wins
WWE Women’s Championship: Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bayley
Damage CTRL has imploded. Bayley caught on to the scheming the other members of Damage CTRL did behind her back. This conveniently took place right after Bayley won the women’s Royal Rumble, so she picked Iyo Sky.
This is Bayley’s first singles match at WrestleMania and it comes at night two of WrestleMania XL. This will also be Iyo’s first singles match at the Showcase of the Immortals. Two of the best wrestlers in WWE’s women’s division will tell an emotional story.
Max: Bayley wins
Jayden: Bayley wins
Shane: Bayley wins
Dacota: Bayley wins
United States Championship triple threat match: Logan Paul (c) vs. Kevin Owens vs. Randy Orton
Logan Paul has lived inside the head of Kevin Owens since the turn of the calendar year. Owens was close to beating Logan Paul, but was effectively caught with a smoking gun. The referee saw him pinning Kevin Owens while holding the brass knuckles Logan tried to hit him with.
Meanwhile, Randy Orton has separated from the feud between LA Knight and AJ Styles (more on that later) and also has Logan in his sights. The question with Randy is whether he’ll turn heel, as it almost always is. There has been little to suggest he will betray Owens, but the Viper strikes when people least expect.
Max: Kevin Owens wins
Jayden: Logan Paul retains
Shane: Logan Paul retains
Dacota: Logan Paul retains
LA Knight vs. AJ Styles
This rivalry has been fueled by hatred. AJ Styles traveled all the way to Australia just to screw LA Knight out of a championship opportunity. LA Knight disguised himself as a security guard for the majority of an episode of Friday Night Smackdown so he could beat up AJ Styles. They even beat each other up at WWE World earlier in the week. This will be another deeply personal match that has a perfect mix of hard hits and technical brilliance.
Max: LA Knight wins
Jayden: LA Knight wins
Shane: LA Knight wins
Dacota: LA Knight wins
Six-Man Street Fight: The Pride (Bobby Lashley, Montez Ford, and Angelo Dawkins) vs. The Final Testament (Karrion Kross, Akam, and Rezar)
This feud has also been going on since the very beginning of the year. Karrion Kross’ group of baddies have been a thorn in Bobby Lashley’s side and it will all come to a head on the Grandest Stage of them All. This match easily has the least depth to it of the six, but if there’s one city that can give a good street fight on any night, it’s Philadelphia.
Max: The Pride wins
Jayden: The Pride wins
Shane: The Pride wins
Dacota: The Pride wins
