Finishing the Story or Not? Will Drew Save WrestleMania? Bayley Up Against Friend-Turned-Foe; Logan Paul at a Disadvantage. Predictions for NIght 2
The first night of WrestleMania XL is less than 24 hours away now! The excitement is palpable especially after the event's shining stage has been revealed recently. Following up on the predictions for night 1, let′s forecast the match results for the second night. The secondary night will have a huge task of matching the intensity of the first night after last year′s dud. So without further ado let′s wear our fortune-teller hats!
Philadelphia Street Fight: Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits vs. The Final Testament?
It′s fair to say this rivalry has been a snoozefest from the very beginning. Nevertheless, the Street Fight stipulation might spark the dull match-up. Unless the WWE is planning on extending this flop feud, the babyfaces should pick up the win.
Prediction: Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits win and put an end to this fruitless rivalry.
AJ Styles vs LA Knight
The wrestling juggernaut has done a stellar job in hyping up this interesting encounter. Both the performers involved have left no stone unturned in making this feud a memorable one.
Let′s be honest the house invasion and Knight posing as a crew are generic form of storytelling. But both the competitor's intensity has resulted in a strong build-up. Our guess? LA Knight overpowers AJ Styles.
Prediction: LA Knight wins
Triple Threat Match for the United States Championship: Logan Paul (Champion) vs Kevin Owens vs Randy Orton
This one is a bit tricky to call. Logan Paul winning the US title has indeed catapulted it to the mainstream. But the strap has largely been away from SmackDown during his reign. It will do a world of good to the promotion if the belt is in the public eye a lot more. For that to happen either Kevin Owens or Randy Orton need to prevail. We predict the strap changing hands with a win for the latter.
Prediction: Randy Orton wins and becomes a 2-time United States champion
WWE Women's Championship Match: Iyo Sky (Champion) vs. Bayley
The slow separation of Bayley from her brainchild ′The Damage Ctrl′ has been handled masterfully. All her former teammates turning on her has added a ′coming up from absolute depths′ element to the match. Not to mention the clash of two very different fighting styles. This promises to be an intriguing affair from start to end. Bayley might just scrape through to achieve redemption.

Co-Main Event - World Heavyweight Championship Match: Seth Rollins (Champion) vs. Drew McIntyre
This match has been undoubtedly shadowed by Seth Rollins′ involvement in the night 1 main event. However, a combination of smart booking and McIntyre′s brilliant antics has provided a solid background for the co-main event of night 2.
While the champion has mostly been occupied by another rivalry, the challenger has showcased a laser focus on his one true goal. Will ′The Visionary′ have enough in the tank to topple ′The Scottish Psychopath′?Or will Senor Money In The Bank finally cash in his briefcase? Our money is yes for the first question but a hesitant no for the second one. Damian Priest might attempt a cash-in but we think it might be a botched effort.
Prediction: Drew McIntyre wins and becomes the new World Heavyweight Champion
Main Event: Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match: Roman Reigns (Champion) vs. Cody Rhodes
Akin to the previous encounter, this one also seems a bit on the backburner owing to the huge popularity of the night 1 main event. Nevertheless, the innovative angle of connecting the two main events has kept everyone guessing. Will the team of Rhodes and Rollins ensure an interference-free match for the latter on the second night? Or will it be contested under ′Bloodline Rules′ where anything goes!
The outcome of the huge tag team bout on night 1 holds every answer. Our previous prediction was a win for the team of The Rock and Roman Reigns. That means pitting Rhodes against every obstacle imaginable come the main event on night 2. Expect a high-octane match-up between both gifted performers. The fans should also prepare themselves for one of the most overbooked matches of all time. The encounter might see an Avengers: Endgame-style showdown involving surprise appearances from John Cena or even Stone Cold to thwart ′The Bloodline′ once and for all.
The stars seem to be aligning perfectly for Cody Rhodes. Hence, he should go all the way and finally finish the story!
Prediction: Cody Rhodes wins and captures the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship
It has been a pleasure as WWE has done a stupendous job in hyping up one of the biggest WrestleMania of recent times. Hope the destination to this memorable journey is as good if not better!
