• WWE Championship: AJ Styles (c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura
Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura
Explanation: Seems logical.

• Universal Championship: Brock Lesnar (c) w/ Paul Heyman vs Roman Reigns
Winner: Roman Reigns
Explanation: This was the plan all along for ending Undertaker's streak. Can see Heyman turning on Brock and aligning with Roman, but doubtful.

• Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey vs Stephanie McMahon & Triple H
Winner: Stephanie McMahon & Triple H
Explanation: Rousey doesn't need the win because she's Ronda Rousey. Kurt Angle doesn't need the win because he's the Raw GM and I can't see him becoming a full time wrestler again. Triple H loses almost every year at WrestleMania, he needs the win the most. Triple H pins Kurt Angle, Stephanie isn't getting any offense in on Ronda besides a slap maybe.

• Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn
Winner: Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn
Explanation: Shane turns heel. Doesn't necessarily align with KO & Sami because that doesn't make sense, but does something to screw DB.

• SmackDown Women’s Championship: Charlotte Flair (c) vs Asuka
Winner: Carmella
Explanation: Carmella cashes in Seth Rollins style and pins Charlotte, not Asuka. Asuka goes back to Raw.

• Raw Women’s Championship: Alexa Bliss (c) vs Nia Jax
Winner: Nia Jax
Explanation: Nia is due for a title run.

• Intercontinental Championship: The Miz (c) w/ The Miztourage vs Finn Bálor vs Seth Rollins
Winner: The Miz (c)
Explanation: Only reasoning behind this is you need SOMEONE to retain their title at WrestleMania. You can do a rematch between the 3 the next night on Raw if you really want Finn or Seth to have the title.

• United States Championship: Randy Orton (c) vs Bobby Roode vs Jinder Mahal vs Rusev
Winner: Randy Orton (c)
Explanation: Same reasoning as the IC title match. Can't have every champion lose.

• Cruiserweight Championship: Cedric Alexander vs Mustafa Ali
Winner: Mustafa Ali
Explanation: This match being on the pre-show is a good thing. They'll be given 20+ minutes and possibly steal the show. Mustafa because I think Cedric should have a slow heel turn.

• SmackDown Tag Team Championships: The Usos (c) vs The Bludgeon Brothers vs The New Day
Winner: The Bludgeon Brothers
Explanation: Can see any team winning here honestly but going with what makes most sense.

• Raw Tag Team Championships: The Bar (c) vs Braun Strowman and a partner of his choosing
Winner: Braun Strowman and partner
Explanation: Hulk Hogan brother.

• André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Winner: Big Cass
Explanation: I like Cass more than most, he just got cleared and this is a good way to bring him back to TV.

• WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal Match
Winner: Bayley
Explanation: Bleh


KIA BONUS POINTS:

• Will Carmella cash in her MITB Contract? If so, which match? (+1 per correct answer, max 2pts)
Yes, SDWC.
• Who is going to take the fall/submission in the US Title match? (+1)
Jinder.
• Will Brother Nero make his return? (+1)
No.
• Who will the final two participants be in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal? (+1 per correct answer, max 2pts)
Big Cass and Zack Ryder.
• Who will the final two participants be in the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal? (+1 per correct answer, max 2pts)
Bayley and Sasha Banks.
• How many title changes will there be? (+1)
6, 7 if we're counting the Cruiserweight.

WWE World Championship Match
AJ Styles (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
Winner: Styles
Explanation: Hard to see them putting two Smackdown titles on wrestlers who can barely speak English at the same time, and I think Asuka is gonna be women's champ.

Universal Championship Match
Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns
Winner: Reigns
Explanation: #reignswinslol

Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey vs. Triple H & Stephanie McMahon
Winner: Rousey/Angle
Explanation: Duh.

SmackDown Women’s Championship Match
Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Asuka
Winner: Asuka or no contest.
Explanation: Can't see them ending Asuka's streak here. Either she wins or there's a DQ that keeps her streak intact.

Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax
Winner: Nia (either that or she loses by DQ for kicking too much ass)
Explanation: Hard to imagine Bliss fat-shaming Nia for the whole feud and then winning, although this is the company that ran a racist angle with Triple H and Booker T and then had the racist win, so who the hell knows?

Intercontinental Championship Match
The Miz (c) vs. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor
Winner: Balor
Explanation: Miz is probably taking some time off after this, and I think Balor needs the win more.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament Finals
Cedric Alexander vs. Mustafa Ali
Winner: Alexander
Explanation: I think both guys will hold the title at some point in the near future, but I think it's Alexander's time now.

Sheamus & Cesaro vs. Braun Strowman and a partner of his choosing
Winner: Strowman/TBD
Explanation: This one is tough, as they could use Braun's partner to eat the pin and keep him protected. But Strowman has been fantastic and I think he could have a fun comedy duo tag team run for a few months.

United States Championship Fatal 4-Way Match
Randy Orton (c) vs. Bobby Roode vs Jinder Mahal vs. Rusev
Winner: Rusev
Explanation: A win on Rusev Day would mean so much for him.

Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Winner: Jeff Hardy
Explanation: Who cares?

The first-ever WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal Match
Winner: Sasha
Explanation: Gotta be either her or Bayley, right?

Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn
Winner: Zayn & Owens
Explanation: Well, they're not getting fired. I think Shane turns on Bryan for enabling Owens and Zayn for so long.

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Match
The Usos (c) vs. The New Day vs. The Bludgeon Brothers
Winner: Bludgeon Brothers
Explanation: They've been building them up. Time to pull the trigger and see what they can do.


KIA BONUS POINTS:
Will Carmella cash in her MITB Contract? If so, which match? (+1 per correct answer, max 2pts)
Yes. I think she tries to steal the belt from Asuka but Asuka kicks her head off.

Who is going to take the fall/submission in the US Title match? (+1)
Jinder.

Will Brother Nero make his return? (+1)
Yes. I think he comes back to turn on Matt and win the Battle Royal, leading to a feud between the two.

Who will the final two participants be in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal? (+1 per correct answer, max 2pts)
Matt Hardy and a returning Brother Nero.

Who will the final two participants be in the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal? (+1 per correct answer, max 2pts)
Sasha and Bayley.

How many title changes will there be? (+1)
Gonna go with six. Seven if you count the Cruiserweight Title as a title change, although I don't think it counts.

WWE World Championship Match
AJ Styles (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
Winner: Nakamura
Explanation: I think they've been waiting for a big stage to give him his title win, there isn't that many Styles feuds they could do with that title on him, plus i think he's off to raw.

Universal Championship Match
Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns
Winner: Roman Reigns
Explanation: Vincent Kennedy McMahon

Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey vs. Triple H & Stephanie McMahon
Winner: Angle & Rousey
Explanation: Rousey is their biggest womans star, or at least thats the plan, what better way to get her over than torturing Stephanie.

The Miz (c) vs. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor
Winner: Balor

Cedric Alexander vs. Mustafa Ali
Winner: Alexander
Explanation: I think he's the most over guy left and they need to build around him, unless Ali turns heel.

Sheamus & Cesaro vs. Braun Strowman and a partner of his choosing
Winner: Braun
Explanation: The WWE are that stupid and need Braun doing something (since they refuse to put the title on him).

Randy Orton (c) vs. Bobby Roode vs Jinder Mahal vs. Rusev
Winner: Jinder
Explanation: I think they have some plans with him.

Explanation: Does anyone actually care

The first-ever WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal Match
Winner: Becky Lynch
Explanation: Again, does anyone care

Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn

Explanation: Bryan won't put himself over i don't think, i mean i wouldn't be mad if he did but i think it clear that both Owens and Zayn are both going to be in that main event scene post wrestlemania.

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Match
The Usos (c) vs. The New Day vs. The Bludgeon Brothers
Winner: Bludgeon Brothers
Explanation: Such a long buildup, i'd imagine they'll win for sure.

WWE World Championship Match
AJ Styles (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
Winner: Shinsuke
Explanation: This could go either way, but I think they're going to give Shinsuke his big moment at WM -- plus, if Shinsuke wins, they can draw that feud out for at least another month or two.

Universal Championship Match
Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns
Winner: Roman Reigns
Explanation: Heyman does something to cost Lesnar, and Reigns wins as a result. Not sure if it's going to be an intentional maneuver, but you'd have to think Heyman is going to have a say in that.

Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey vs. Triple H & Stephanie McMahon
Winner: Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey
Explanation: I could see HHH/Steph winning if Angle eats the pin, but I think they're going to make Rousey look strong and Rousey will be the one to get the pinfall.

Winner: Asuka
Explanation: Asuka keeps the undefeated streak alive.

Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax
Winner: Nia Jax, Carmella cashes in
Explanation: Seems obvious, but I think this is where the Carmella cash in makes sense with Alexa and Mickie beating down Nia after the match.

Intercontinental Championship Match
The Miz (c) vs. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor
Winner: Miz
Explanation: They've been building up the IC Title reign that Miz has had -- as said earlier, not every title is going to change hands and I think this is the one that makes the most sense for the champ to retain.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament Finals
Cedric Alexander vs. Mustafa Ali
Winner: Cedric Alexander
Explanation: I honestly have no idea because I've been so out of touch with the Cruiserweights, but I'll go with Alexander.

Sheamus & Cesaro vs. Braun Strowman and a partner of his choosing
Winner: Braun/Mystery Partner
Explanation: I can see Braun and whoever his partner is winning at WM, but then losing the rematch the following night on RAW.

United States Championship Fatal 4-Way Match
Randy Orton (c) vs. Bobby Roode vs Jinder Mahal vs. Rusev
Winner: Rusev
Explanation: Unless they have bigger plans for Rusev (world title feud), having him win this match would be a nice WM moment.

Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
Explanation: Feel like Hardy would be too obvious, so I'll go with Dolph.

The first-ever WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal Match
Winner: Bailey
Explanation: Just to have a face win this one to counter with a heel winning the men's one.

Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn
Winner: Owens & Zayn
Explanation: Owens & Zayn win, with Shane turning on Bryan.

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Match
The Usos (c) vs. The New Day vs. The Bludgeon Brothers

Explanation: Could see any of these teams winning, but I think a New Day title reign at WM makes sense.

Who is going to take the fall/submission in the US Title match? (+1) Jinder

I forgot when I made my predictions that Vince hates the fans. Can I get a do-over?

2009NBAChamps - 5
iMoreland - 6
improper - 8
Spens1 - 8
The_Brecht - 7
Ayatollah - 8
Flames24Rulz - 7
Wo1verine - 7
Standford - 7

To start the first KIA contest off, we have a three way tie of improper, Spens1, and Ayatollah at 8 each.

I participated in the KIA on the other forum I'm on, we didn't have the extra questions that I added in...my score was 4. :lol:

The score will be kept in the original KIA topic found here.

Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

Man, can't believe I actually ended up tied for first.

And you'd think a show that unpredictable would have been better. But I guess it goes to show, unpredictable doesn't always mean good. It's a big problem when your five hour show peaks at hour two, though.

7 hours if you count the pre show and the kick off show...which we watched. Holy balls, 7 1/2 hours of mediocre wrestling last night. :lol:
