SPEAKER_02

Welcome to WrestleMania! WrestleMania 42 is done. So that means we're now on the road to WrestleMania 43. And today I'm gonna predict the entire match card way too early in advance. I'll do it after SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Royal Rumble as well. We'll come back and see how I did. This one, this is going to be a crazy WrestleMania because it's the first time outside of North America in Saudi Arabia.

SPEAKER_03

You saw that! You saw that!

SPEAKER_02

So we could get a lot of surprises. Let's start with night one. I'm gonna call the first match even. I think it's gonna be Oba Femi versus Braun Breaker, and it will be for the world title. That's right. I think Oba will have beaten Roman Reigns before WrestleMania 43. Oba. You gonna kill me? Oh no. But don't worry, Roman Reigns is still gonna be in the main event of night two. So why are we doing Braun versus Oba? Think about it. Think about it. For one, we've been saying that's a guaranteed WrestleMania main eventer. So we gotta start him somewhere, and he's managed by Paul Heyman. Who did Oba Femi beat this year and retire? Brock Lesnar. So we could just have we could have Paul Heyman wanting revenge, Braun Breaker wanting to bump up as champion. Plus, night two of WrestleMania was a hard-hitting affair that really set the tone for a pretty, pretty stellar evening. And I could see Triple H saying, let's just start, let's start WrestleMania that way right off the get. Have Oba versus Braun Breaker. That will be an intense matchup to just kick off the festivities that is WrestleMania 43. So Braun will challenge for the World Championship. And if you want to challenge for the World Championship, all you gotta do is comment below and subscribe to the channel. I did do the 20,000 subscriber giveaway yesterday, and I have the live stream up still. If you want to see that it was all legit, Poppy Midnight, you are the winner. You have until Monday, 7 p.m. to get a hold of me. You have to get a hold of me on Instagram or or TikTok, and then we can go from there. Do not put your address in the comments. Never, never put your address publicly. If Poppy Midnight does not get a hold of me by 7 p.m. on Monday, then Roman Reigns acknowledge me. You have until Wednesday, 7 p.m. to get a hold of me. And if you don't get a hold of me, well then third place, who is already who has already acknowledged that they've seen the video, then they will get the belt. That said, I have another belt giveaway going on at 30,000 subscribers. Gonna give away this belt on my shoulder. Heck, I'll tell you what, if I get 25,000 subscribers before SummerSlam of this year, then I'll give away a belt at 25,000. But for sure, 30,000 subscribers, I'll give it away. Comment below, subscribe to the channel, and you can win this belt right here. Not a toy, but a replica. All right, let's do more matches on the card. We got the Usos, we've got the New Day. We're gonna build up the New Day for a year so they can be strong again. And the Hardy Boys. One day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream. Don't forget, this is Saudi Arabia and they love their legends. Matt Hardy has already suggested this match, even, so I could just see it happening. Let's do a TLC matchup for the Unify Tag titles. It it ticks all the boxes. We have Legends, Nostalgia, solid teams with history. Now we're on match 13. I did 15 altogether. Trick Williams versus Randy Orton. Not much of a story here, other than you got the young upstart versus the widely veteran. Nobody's gonna boo Randy Orton. We've discovered that, not gonna happen. And Trick Williams, well, you know, he's just a joy to watch. I've already, I've they actually already interacted, and I really did like their interaction, but they didn't really settle any differences. So I could just see this being a matchup to further to further push Trick up the card in the eyes of the people. And then Randy Orange, well, he has to be on the card. Match 12, Dirty Dom versus Rey Mysterio. Hopefully, we bring back the cinnamon toast crunch mascot. Fun fact that was Sol Ruka's WWE debut.

SPEAKER_01

I went backstage and people were like asking for like pictures in it and stuff. And then when I took off the costume, everyone was like, Oh, I didn't know it was you, Soul. And I was like, Yep.

SPEAKER_02

But yeah, we have this matchup, and we should do something like what if it was hair versus mask?

SPEAKER_03

Nah, he would never. And plus I my hair is too luscious.

SPEAKER_02

You let Dirty Dom actually win, and then Ray takes off his mask, and then he says, Now that my mask is gone, I'm retiring. So you kind of like do what Brock did, where Ray just says, I'm done. I lost my mask. I am now done. And then Dirty Dom can laugh about it. I know everybody thinks that Guther should retire every single wrestler from now into 2099, but I'd much rather it come from Dom. Speaking of Guther, though, who's he going to face at Mania? Has to retire somebody, right? Well, I've got two options. I got two options. One, I could actually see it being the Undertaker. I know Undertaker's retired, but when it comes to the Dead Man money talks, I'm a huge Undertaker fan. Please believe me. I mean no disrespect by this, but Undertaker is definitely somebody who can be swayed by big bags of cash. And that's no judgment. I would be too. Please send me big bags of cash and see how far I'm willing to go. But no, for real, if Undertaker will sell out a good buddy of his so we could bring on Michelle McCool to be part of his podcast.

SPEAKER_01

Please, this take your wife to work day needs to stop.

SPEAKER_02

Then I definitely believe that Undertaker would be like, yeah, you know what? I'll put out a five-minute WrestleMania match and lose to Gunther for a lot of money. But if Gunther does not face Undertaker because Undertaker says I just can't do it, then who would he face? Well, he's gonna pull Chris Jericho. We did what Chris Jericho did at a previous WrestleMania where he fought a gauntlet of WWE Legends. It was Jimmy Snucka, Rowdy Rowdy Piper, and uh Ricky the Dragon Steamboat. So have Gunther, he faces Rob Van Dam, Bubba Ray Dudley, and Kane. And that way, you know, Gunther he gets to put to sleep three legends, add them to his resume, say I retired all three of them, and it allows the Saudi people to get their nostalgia in. I could see Seth Rollins versus Jacob Fatu. I see as the year progresses, the bloodline getting more and more power. I could totally see Seth stepping in to try to stop this. The possible consequences on the other side of this, Roman Reigns back in power again. It's not worth it. Like he lost his world championship at WrestleMania 40 because he was distracted by trying to take Roman out of power. Now I have an opponent for Roman Reigns, so it can't be Seth Rollins, but but the next best thing might be Jacob Fatu, who I believe will fall in line with Roman after Backlash. And I could totally see Seth trying to stop Jacob from ever becoming the next Roman Reigns. That happens here. Let's do some women's championship matches. I do think we'll get uh Rhea Ripley, she has to be on the card, and I could see her going up against now. Oh, she's planning Rhea stacking her up up that Lash Legend. I think Lash Legend uses this year to kind of climb up the card. And by the time WrestleMania comes around, she's in a position to challenge for said title. Or EOSky. Should be EOSky. Ooh, EO Sky. I bet, yeah. I bet they use, I bet they do Rhea EO at like SummerSlam this year or something. So yeah, I'm going Rhea Lash Legend at 43. Over on Raw.

SPEAKER_00

I'm gonna say this as nicely to you as I possibly can.

SPEAKER_02

Sol Ruka versus Liv Morgan.

SPEAKER_00

You are no Liv Morgan, sweetie.

SPEAKER_02

They already had a match the night after WrestleMania. So kind of we could play off that. Just one year ago, the night after WrestleMania Sol Ruka debuted, and here she is now in a main event spot. Oh my gosh, how far she has come. You know, it's just the story sells itself, honestly. And just so everybody knows, I'm not booking the WrestleMania that I want to see. I'm actually booking the WrestleMania that I think is gonna happen. So this one kind of hurts because I just feel like both guys, it's weird. I'm about to give both guys a match and say they deserve better. I'm putting Drew McIntyre versus LA Knight, yeah, against each other. And on paper, that sounds like a great matchup, right? But in reality, I'm doing it because I feel Triple H doesn't want to really fully go all in on neither of these guys. So, like, he'll put them together. It seems like a big match, but at the end of the day, when WrestleMania is done, nothing's gonna happen for them. Just like this year. LA Knight, he got a match, right? He even won the match. But what happened for him after WrestleMania? Drew McIntyre was world champion this year. He loses his match, and then there's nothing for him after Mania. It's like we gotta get these two on the card because the fans love them. But because Triple H doesn't love them, he's not gonna give them much to work with. The feud will be great. They both know how to take a mid-card feud and elevate it. Problem is, once they have elevated it and it's all said and done, Triple H goes back to forgetting them. Six matches to go, and Logan Paul has to be on the card. No matter what, they're gonna figure out how to get Logan Paul on this card. And I'm thinking if he's still with Austin Theory, it'll be a tag match. If he's not with Austin Theory, I don't know. He'll probably reach out to Mr. Beast or something. Oh, that works. Yeah. I'll take it back. Thanks, Jimmy. But he will definitely beat this card in a tag match against the Lucha Brothers. The Lucha Brothers. Or, oh, ooh, what about Logan Paul versus Bad Buddy? Okay, yeah, that's I'm changing it. It's gonna be Logan Paul versus Bad Bunny, because WWE even has reached out to Bad Buddy before, and they would love to have that big old that big old celebrity matchup. Even though that was that was such a disaster for the WrestleMania main event, I could see it happening. So we're gonna do Bad Buddy versus Logan Paul. But if Bad Buddy's not gonna come, it'll be Austin Theory and Logan Paul versus the Lucha Brothers. Lucha Brothers just look really, really cool, and they're a really great tag team as well. Penta and Ray Phoenix, they will reunite at some point this year. Sometimes I thought we made amends, but maybe we hadn't. That's the way it is, then we're just gonna go out there and have a fight. Charlotte Flair, woo, versus Becky Lynch, the best in the world. And that's not just me saying it, that's sports illustrated. Bleacher report, that's me saying it. And I think the Saudi people will want to see the best in the world. It could literally be about just pride. It's like, you know, I main invented WrestleMania before, and then you stuck your nose in it, and we could just go. They have so much history. They have so much history, and fingers crossed, fingers crossed, they play into the history and not bring out celebrities like they did with Randy and Cody this year. Just go off of their actual rivalry from coming up as the four horsemen, the women's revolution, all of that stuff. Go for it. Becky, Charlotte, done. Another huge matchup, Jay Cargill versus Naomi. Naomi is giving birth to our tribal chief of 2063. I guess the bloodline continues, baby! And she's back. She's back. She wants revenge. She wants everything. Everything that she put on hold. She wants it now. And Jade stands in her way, but so does Bianca Bel Air. Bianca Bel Air also is now a mother, and she comes back. So they can have their historic three-person triple threat that we all wanted to see at WrestleMania 40, but we didn't get to see. And it's gonna happen at 43. That would be a cool matchup right there. The next one I could see opening WrestleMania, and it is for the undisputed title. Cody Rhodes will walk in as champion. And I think a lot of people are gonna hate this decision, but I still think it's gonna happen. Cody Rhodes versus the Royal Rumble winner, or maybe the Elimination Chamber winner, Sammy Zayn.

SPEAKER_03

I wanted to send a message, Sammy Zane. And those opportunities they don't just flop in your lap, Sammy. That's real easy for you to say when you're the golden boy. So I showed up to WrestleMania 42, adorned head to toe in gold.

SPEAKER_02

They have been telling a story of Sami Zayn wanting to become champion for a very long time. And guess where we're at? Saudi Arabia. In front of my people and speak our language on WWE TV. I really think that's the play here. And here's the thing. Here's the thing. Sammy might be able to win the fans over, though, because he is now turning into a heel against Trick Williams. Sammy as a heel actually gets a lot of fans. When Sammy was in the bloodline as a heel, he won over to the WWE Universe. So if Sammy can be a heel until Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber, well, he'll have a lot of fan support by then. And then he goes into Saudi Arabia and they're gonna cheer him regardless. So I could really see a world in which Sammy is Sammy becomes champion at Mania, faces Cody Rhodes. Who knows? Maybe Cody turns heel by then. Also, we do a Cody, a Cody heel, Sammy face turn around Royal Rumble season. Ah, maybe, maybe. I could see it. I could see it. We have two more matches, and these are your big time matches. I could see either being the main event of night one, night two, CM Punk versus Can you say the alphabet backwards?

SPEAKER_03

Well, I can whip your ass backwards.

SPEAKER_02

Stone Cold Steve Austin and Stone Cold's last match ever. He's been back and forth. I've heard him say, I've got one more match left in me, or I'm probably not gonna do it if I have to leave town. So it like depends on the day of the week that you ask Stone Cold that question. But but just five years ago, he had a matchup in the main event of night one WrestleMania 38 against, well, Kevin Owens. And CM Punk has on many occasions says that his dream opponent is Stone Cold Steve Austin. So what if they did it? This could be the last opportunity. It's gonna take a lot of money to get Stone Cold out of retirement, but Saudi has a lot of money. Yeah, I could totally, totally see this as your night one main event. And you're like, night one main event? That seems like a huge matchup. What could ever top that? Well, if you some man!

SPEAKER_03

I need something from you. Acknowledge me.

SPEAKER_02

And also probably The Rock's last matchup. The Rock in Roman Reigns. This has been a dream match forever. We almost got it at WrestleMania 40. But then the Cody Crybabies came out. Hashtag we want Cody. I was one of them. I did it. I apologize to my tribal chief. I wish, I wish I had just kept the on the the bloodline bandwagon, but I repent. Unsubscribe, unsubscribe, unsubscribe. But no, for real though, I can see, I can see Roman Reigns and I can see Roman Reigns and The Rock. This is gonna be the biggest payday of all time. I can see The Rock wanted his name associated with that fact. There's a there's a built-in story. We could literally have The Rock cost Roman the title at SummerSlam to Oba Femi, and that's how Oba Femi gets the title, and he carries it to Mania. But The Rock cost Roman the title at SummerSlam, and he's like, you know what? I've never really fully acknowledged you. Or or I acknowledged you when you were like, when you were actually a tribal chief, but you're a paper tribal chief now. You're weak, you're this, you're that. Whatever reason he comes up with, he decides that now is the time. This will be our best, maybe our only chance to ever get rock and Roman again. So a lot of stars have to line up and a lot of money has to be has to be dealt out. But well, the theme of the video is Saudi Arabia has the money and they pretty much get what they want. So if they want the rock, rock, Roman, main event, WrestleMania 43, night two. Boom. Let's go. Alright, boys, all right, girls. What did you think of my WrestleMania predictions? Tell me, tell me your predictions in the comments below. I tried really hard to get Carmelo Hayes on the card, but you know, Solo Sokoa has been on the main roster for what three or four years now, and he still hasn't been at a WrestleMania. So I think that's gonna apply to Carmelo Hayes too, unfortunately. Which sucks, which sucks. I'm not like happy about that, but uh again, trying to do what I see Triple H doing and not what I personally want done. All right, let me know your predictions in the comments below. See ya bye.
