My Wrestlemania XL predictions.

Night one:

Rhea Ripley over Becky Lynch

Awesome Truth and DIY win (each one wins a separate belt) Could possibly see New Catch Republic win as well

Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar beat Rey Mysterio and Andrade (Carlito turns on Rey)

Jey Uso beats Jimmy Uso (Tama Tonga helps by neutralizing Solo Sikoa)

Jade Cargil, Bianca Belair and Naomi beat Damage CTRL

Sami Zayn beats Gunther (this one is tough to call, Chad Gable is either gonna help Sami or screw him over)

The Rock and Roman Reigns beat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins

Night Two:

Drew McIntyre beats Seth Rollins (I think Damian Priest cashes in afterwards though)

Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits beat Karion Kross and AOP (could go wither way, this might be the bathroom break match)

LA Knight beats AJ Styles

Logan Paukl beats Randy Orton and Kevin Owens

Bayley beats Iyo Sky

Cody Rhodes beats Roman Reigns to finally finish his story

Howd u do?

Iyo sky is such an underated wrestler...she´s amazing!! that counter in the end of bayley´s finisher was something else.

mania was amazing and the right guy won. love roman but it was cody´s time.

worst match goes to the usos, that was not good at all.

curious to see who steps up to cody as a heel since drew is feuding with punk.

we are entering a new era but they will have to find a great heel because roman was just legendary.

I'm really happy to see this Cody love.  Dude worked his ass off to get there.

I'm a fan of his for his work in the AEW.  How is he received in the WWE?

cody was booed out of AEW because he refused to turn heel basically.

he is loved in WWE , its the babyface of the company and now that roman is gone for quiet sometime is probably the face of the company.

I don't know if I agree with all that.

He was not well received as stardust or whatever he was.  He went over to Japan and made bones there.  Came back to a well received AEW.
I thought maybe because of his time in Japan and AEW he was better received.

It is just weird that he was gone for so long and now the WWE loves him.

he didnt came back to aew , he was one of the founders of the company alongside Tony Kahn , Young Bucks and Kenny Omega.

he was pretty much the same character in aew when the company started that he is now but aew fans turned on him and at the end of his run in the company he was getting booed and didnt want to turn heel, lets hope that doesnt happen in wwe

no one really knows why he left the company but he said it was due to personal reasons and last week he said there was some backstage shit with brandy (his wife) that he didnt like so maybe it was one of the reasons.

curious fact , without kevin owens there is no current cody rhodes , when he left wwe , owens gave him the number of the young bucks and that is what changed his life.

It seems the WWE is going to run with him for a little while.  Not sure who the big challenger/heel is going to be.

Definitely the babyface of WWE. Only others that would come close would be CM Punk and maybe LA Knight.

Yeah which is crazy to me.

Terrible move by AEW. Yeah, it does prove that Punk threw a punch. But....so what? It makes Tony Kahn look like a bigger pussy than we already thought he was by him saying he "feared for his life" or whatever it is he said. Also, I hope Jungle Boy is prepared to have "CM Punk" chanted at him for the rest of his life because that's probably going to happen. Fans were chanting Punk's name during the unveiling of the video footage and later when the Bucks came down to the ring.
