WWE Wrestlemania 33 Prediction

Its quite a tricky thing to predict that what WWE going to offer in Wrestlemania 33! As most of the thing nowhere days are not as per the Fans, specially after launching of WWE Network Fans of Old School Wrestling are disappointed, WWE is now looking for contents they don't wants to end the fun straight away they want their fans to stick around with WWE for whatever the want.

Before WWE has a plan for Smackdown Women Championship Match in Kick Off show since their stakes are quite high in Raw Women Championship Match and with this we might see Nia Jax to be the next RAW Women Champion as well and then in upcoming days we might see feud between Nia and Charlotte for the title, indeed we may witness Rock to make a appearance as well in the Show with that.

Now Nia is Maternal Cousin of The Rock, he's also a Paternal Cousin of Roman Reigns and Uncle of Jimmy Uso with whom Naomi got married who is also in title hunt, looking to reclaim her Smackdown Women Championship in her Home Town we might see Wrestlemania to "Glow" and tats why Smackdown Women Championship is now in Main PPV rather then Kick Off as announced earlier. But we may see Naomi to drop the title again in the following Smackdown Live who knows it !

Since Cruiserweight Division is more like filling the air time of Monday Night RAW it doesn't matter the outcome of the Match since there is no one in the Division who actually in compare to Austin Aries and its totally upto Austin Aries till how long he wants to be the face of 205 Live, hence best wishes to him if he's the new "King of No Ones".

Now since André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal is happening in Kick Off Show hence its again a not to expect match otherwise like Baron Corbin last year Shinsuke Nakamura could have a opportunity to make a grand debut in a Main Roster but lets see what WWE has planned for this Match and for Nakamura.

RAW Tag Team Titles are going to defend in a Ladder Match and I believe that Sheamus and Cesaro is winning it and may be going to wrestle against some surprise entry of Tag Team Division or if not ! then also Sheamus and Cesaro has very good memorable performances with Ladder Match in a past.

WWE presented quite a weak storyline for Baron Corbin vs. Dean Ambrose or if say there is no storyline at all, its like a match which is requires to happen in Wrestlemania for the sake of the biggest PPV of the Year which needed Intercontinental Championship to be defended. 

Chris Jericho's latest run is quite long then expected, Wrestlemania matches for Jericho was like giving the opportunity to the new guys. His last few matches was Fandaaaaango's Debut, Aj Styles's 1st Match in Wrestlemania and now Kevin Owens. Loosing to Fandaaaaango must be hurting to Chris and more then him its WWE who wanted the Fandaaaaangoing stuff but unfortunately it all blew away and Jericho's lost gone into vain. Chris Jericho is now committed to Fozzy which will be touring next Month May, we may witness Jericho to drop the title against Owens and say good bye from Wrestlemania itself like he did loosing to Fandaaaaaango years ago.

Match of Aj Styles vs. Shane McMahon is just another match, Aj Styles may be improving his Wrestlemania record but with Shane McMahon, WWE getting a part time Wrestler who's win or lost doesn't matter since he's a Corporate guy who believes to settle thing in "Square" ring. McMahon may not be there in WWE for a very long time but his matches will always infront of his fans to define legacy of Shane McMahon wrestling.

John Cena - Nikki Bella vs. The Miz - Maryse ! any expectation from this match ? Need not to tell who will gonna win but yes post this Wrestlemania we might be engaged with their new status of Love Life and all those stuffs except Wrestling.

Seth Rollins vs. Triple H, a Non - Sanctioned Match is quite interesting to me. Seth Rollins is injured not 100% fit, Triple H will be playing some dirty games but I believe some surprise brief returns during the match may be one of those is Mick Foley. But overall how WWE wants to finish this match will be the key, since Seth Rollins was a part of shocker finish of Wrestlemania Main Event 2 years ago. 

Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt for WWE Championship is another weak storyline from SD Live and it seems like it will not end or settle down in Wrestlemania but the feud may continue till the advance stage in upcoming SD Live PPVs hence match could have a surprise win for Bray Wyatt.

Ever since Goldberg returns to WWE he proved himself a Knockout guy who finishes a match in less then 2 Minutes, I think the time duration of match will remain the same but this time we may see other guy Brock Lesnar to dominate and beat Goldberg for the Universal Championship. Brock Lesnar could appear in another PPV before to drop the title but I don't think stretching a brief return of Goldberg is a best decision.

Now The Undertaker vs. Roman Reign is bit tricky match, may be its a Main Event of Wrestlemania too. Undertaker have to loose the match to retire and Taker has nothing to loose as his streak is already broken at the other hand for Roman it will be a career defining moment, people don't like Roman is a good guy so let it be a heel, a big heel dog who takes whatever he want.

Overall the card is long and to fill the time slot of 4 hours we might see some matches short after the inclusion of Smackdown Women Championship in Main PPV. Again people don't care much about it if the matches and the Event is something excite with. People also know that WWE is now a Content Provider and its not that every one will be happy infront of pure business but yes can wish whatever they missed for next Wrestlemania.

Is Ronda Rousey leaving the Octagon for Square Ring ?

For Ronda Rousey fans UFC 207 Live was of great expectation. Finally she was returning back in Octagon after 13 months loosing to Holly Holm, she made her name and fame as women who was kind of ruthless in the octagon ring, hungry to conquer the opponent used to give the best shot to end the night as victorious with full authority, dominate like no other has defense to block her and able to survive. When Ronda lost against Holly in UFC 193, she didn't lost the fight but she lost the dominance which she had for 3 years, its like The Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak which was ended after 21 years. Ronda's this unprecedented performance led her a chance in Hollywood with some big names. All the name and fame she earned was never easy, surely her hard work, dedication and aggression paid the price to her.

Usually top earning jacks used to start exploring the new payouts. Similarly like Brock who left WWE when he was in peak and moved to MMA made money and name in UFC, but he too though knocked out in his last match against Alistair Overeem and then returned back to WWE where he started his wrestling career though he isn't finished his UFC career. Also once a self proclaimed "Best in the World" in WWE, CM Punk too gives a hand on UFC but lost the bout in 2:14 against Mickey Gall but he has full time contract and company must have a best night for him. Indeed its not only about money but gets a respect back from the business for what you're doing after broken bones, injured body, appearing in a dangerous matches and taking bumps. Hence if one legendary career gets over then other will start as well.

For Ronda WWE Career must be a welcome decision at one hand WWE top Boss including Triple H and Stephanie McMahon was not only excited about her return but must have a pre mature planning too. Like Brock Lesnar, Ronda could Main Event in only Top 4 PPVs too challenging WWE's New Era Women Division or might fight for the Championship as well. But that would be excited to see for which show she would work or if she hold of the any show's Womens Title then how its mirror title stood infront of people's expectation and gain TRP in comparison !! One thing which WWE lacks about is to grab the moment to develop the potential of the division. WWE in past used to promote Womens division aka Divas Division as a tool to gain TRP, they used to focus on beauty and glamour more then ability to rock the ring. Hence in modern time they has no name to shout.

In last 3 - 4 years WWE did rewrite the history aggressively with Nikki Bella to be the longest Divas Champion in history which they still praise despite the title is retired. Last year after Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Becky Lynch debut, all three has quickly cemented their legacy with Becky to win 1 time Smackdown's Women's Championship, Charlotte Flair won Raw Women's Championship for record 4th time hasn't lost a PPV yet and Sasha Banks has won the PPV for 3 times, with this it doesn't mean to make a revolutionary platform which can offer legends but its a process to fill the empty gap which was created due to creative executives no confidence. 

Ronda at this moment can give the WWE Team a huge plus who are failing to excite viewers. After a Brand split Charlotte and Sasha both has headlined RAW and PPVs including some extreme matches which no other Women in the past had ever participated in. Also for a big push in WWE Network and gain TRP to crack the Record Breaking TV deals WWE have to offer something boombastic for which they able to proof their own saying that "Anything can happen in WWE", Ronda not only can make a huge crunch from WWE selling merchandise, TV promotions and even at the same time with Movies as well without risking much of her body. In Octagon it may be hard to rewrite the history but in square ring she might overrides all the records made.

#SurvivorSeries: Fantasy Warfare got real with #BrockLesnarvsGoldberg

Survivor Series 30 at some mean is special again because of its mega main event ''A Fantasy Warfare" Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg. Last year when I wrote The Undertaker : 25 Years of Dominance in WWE remembering The Undertaker and his 25 years career which was completed with his breathe taking performance against Wyatt Families never thought that very next year we will get to see the returning of Gooooooldberg against Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar. Surprisingly Goldberg fought his last match in WWE at Wrestlemania 20 against Brock Lesnar itself picking the fight against the beast once again. Both had fought the last match of WWE at that point of time afterward Brock conquered UFC and become more dangerous then ever before, Goldberg got busy in TV and Movies left Professional Wrestling actively. Survivor Series, Wrestlemania might be becoming the platform of Legends Return but you can't deny the one fact that whosoever returning are still got it. Goldberg is one of the icon of Wrestling Industry and was face of WCW but if he could start his career in WWE then his stats would have something different.

WWE no doubt try to selling its 2K17 the Video Game and Survivor Series PPV by headlining Goldberg against Brock but they knows very well that one point of time they tries to mock Goldberg infact they still by a year when "Gillberg" returned to accept the John Cena Challenge for US Title. At the same time WWE knows that Brock might quit the company for UFC or MMA hence trying to use maximum of Brock to sell PPV and WWE Network. Although everyone in WWE agrees that ending the Undertaker's Wrestlemania Streak that too from Brock is a big mistake who can use that image everywhere he can but regarding the Goldberg he was always behind the curtain from limelight picking the fight after 12 years. Its not that Goldberg returning for money that even Stone Cold Steve Austin too agreed in one of his interview because if at all money was the desire for Goldberg he would taken the route of TNA which was once crowded from the WWE Legends and made a lot of money. 

Goldberg's intention during the interview with Jonathan Coachman in ESPN Sportscenter was clear that he might have one more last match remaining with him but he wants to end that with Brock only. Goldberg is also cleared his intention that he wants to be the hero of all the kids which he misses to be one of them all these years, might be even Goldberg realized that the game which features Goldberg should come in real so that people whosoever selects the character can realize the guy that what Goldberg have being in reality and that too against Brock which is a unmatched giant of WWE. Any way I don't know how the match will start or how it will end. Goldberg is 1-0 up in the fight and WWE put Goldberg ahead then Brock's brand which appears in big PPVs will be in danger because a guy like Goldberg who just returned after 12 years beat the Beast. If Brock beats Goldberg then it will be like 1-1 result between John Cena and The Rock which might excites you as John Cena fan or The Rock fan but will never as Pro Wrestling Fan. Goldberg might not picking any other Legend of WWE because of one small reason and that he was never being a guy who saved WCW nor able to fought for WCW.

Anyhow whatever will be the outcome of the Survior Series its clear that 2 icons which you likes to fight are getting real, people who don't know about Goldberg will now ables to see in action Live, people who used to chant Goooooldberg during Ryback matches will now ables to chant Gooooooldberg for real Goldberg. Though I believes that only few will ables to connect with the terminology of "Fantasy Warfare" which equalize for many who thinks that they fights for the promotion of Video game only, otherwise the main event is potentially is a "Unfinished" business between two, the deserving limelight which both never got in Wrestlemania 20 just because both were leaving the WWE and WWE thought the match would be just to fill the slot of mega PPV. Any how in the last RAW when Goldberg and Brock appeared for the Face to Face it didn't ended the way it was expected despite of personal and filthy comments. Anyway WWE might have lock the end of the match after thinking best of interest as per both of the superstars and every Pro Wrestler fan will be waiting for Fantasy Warfare to get real.
