Match Order Predictions

1. The Usos and LA Knight vs. Logan Paul, Austin Theory, and IShowSpeed

2. Fatal 4-Way Match for the Women's Tag Team Championship: Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria vs. The Bella Twins vs. Lash Legend and Nia Jax (x)

3. Unsanctioned Match: Jacob Fatu vs. Drew McIntyre

4. Women's Intercontinental Championship Match: AJ Lee (c) vs. Becky Lynch

5. Seth Rollins vs. Gunther

6. Women's World Championship Match: Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Liv Morgan

7. Undisputed WWE Championship Match: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Randy Orton

The main event between Rhodes and Orton will determine how big a success the first night of this year's WrestleMania will be. It has been the subject of much-deserved scrutiny, especially following the introduction of Pat McAfee to the picture amid creative meddling by TKO CEO Ari Emanuel.

What would have been a perfectly strong match in its own right, with a wealth of story to build on, was dragged down immensely by an entirely unnecessary creative development involving the ESPN personality.

If the match can resist becoming too overthought and overbooked, it has a chance to stick the landing and put an exclamation point on Saturday's festivities. If not, WWE will find itself at a deficit and have to work overtime to win fans over with Sunday night's card.

Outside of the main event, both the Rollins vs. Gunther and McIntyre vs. Fatu have the potential to be show-stealers, but do not sleep on Vaquer vs. Morgan, which has been one of the most physically intense rivalries leading into the show and has the talent necessary to be legitimately great.

Match Order Predictions

1. Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar

2. Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship: Penta (c) vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Je'Von Evans vs. Dragon Lee vs. Rusev vs. JD McDonagh

3. United States Championship Match: Sami Zayn (c) vs. Trick Williams

4. "Demon" Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio

5. WWE Women's Championship Match: Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill (c)

6. World Heavyweight Championship Match: CM Punk (c) vs. Roman Reigns

Punk vs. Reigns is the marquee match of Sunday's card, and rightfully so. It feels like the main event has been built like one and has a story that fans are invested in.

The world champion's pipebomb promo on the April 6 episode of Raw injected it with a level of excitement and anticipation that no other creative development could have, with the result being an even hotter match-up entering Allegiant Stadium.

With that said, the world title match may not be the hottest match of the show, with that distinction belonging to Femi and Lesnar, who have built a titanic clash of epic proportions for this year's card. A potential star-making bout for Femi, expect Lesnar to do everything in his power to make The Ruler look like a star, regardless of who is booked to win and lose.
