WWE WrestleMania 2019: Updated Match Card, Odds, Predictions for PPV

Mike ChiariApr 3, 2019

WrestleMania 35 will emanate from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Sunday, and it boasts a robust card with 15 matches, many of which have titles on the line.

Headlined by the first-ever women's main event in the form of Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch, this year's marquee show will also feature a WWE Championship match between Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston and a Universal Championship match between Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins.

That is merely the tip of the iceberg, as nearly every WWE main roster title will be defended, and several grudge matches will take place as well.

WrestleMania 35 Odds and Predictions

Ronda Rousey (4-1) vs. Charlotte Flair (27-2) vs. Becky Lynch (11-50)

Both the Raw and SmackDown women's titles will be on the line in the main event of WrestleMania, making it a winner-takes-all match.

Lynch is the only person entering the match without a championship in tow, but given how she has been pushed to the moon and developed into arguably WWE's top babyface, it is difficult to envision anyone other than her leaving with both titles.

Daniel Bryan (5-2) vs. Kofi Kingston (29-100)

After weeks of trying to earn a WWE Championship match, Kofi Kingston was finally granted the opportunity last week when Big E and Xavier Woods won a Gauntlet match to get him into the bout.

WWE has never truly pulled the trigger on giving Kingston a run as a top guy, so there is some apprehension that they will now.

However, based on how hugely popular he has become, look for the company to go with the feel-good moment by having the New Day member win the WWE title.

Brock Lesnar (21-20) vs. Seth Rollins (69-100)

Of the three top championship matches on the WrestleMania card, Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins likely has the highest probability of the champion retaining.

The Beast Incarnate did so last year when most expected Roman Reigns to win, but due to the looming possibility of Reigns and Dean Ambrose helping their Shield brother, the smart money is on Rollins winning the Universal Championship for the first time.

Triple H (8-25) vs. Batista (23-10)

Triple H and Batista will face off in a No Holds Barred match with the stipulation that the former must retire from in-ring competition if he loses.

There is seemingly a high probability this will be Batista's final match ever, and since Triple H isn't going anywhere and figures to have plenty of bouts left in him, there is little doubt The Game will prevail.

The Miz (1-4) vs. Shane McMahon (14-5)

The Miz and Shane McMahon are engaged in perhaps the most personal feud in WWE currently, as Shane-O-Mac turned on The A-Lister and even assaulted his father.

They will lock horns in a Falls Count Anywhere match that should have no shortage of crazy spots. It wouldn't be a shock to see Shane win, but since The Miz was wronged and is out for revenge, most signs point to him coming out on top.

Roman Reigns (33-100) vs. Drew McIntyre (9-4)

Reigns' first singles match back since announcing his leukemia is in remission will come against Drew McIntyre at The Showcase of The Immortals.

The Scot has dominated Reigns throughout their feud, but WrestleMania is primarily about producing feel-good moments, and there would be few better than The Big Dog battling back from cancer to win on the biggest show of the year, which is almost certainly what will happen.

Sasha Banks & Bayley (3-10) vs. Beth Phoenix & Natalya (23-2) vs. Nia Jax & Tamina (17-2) vs. The IIconics (24-5)

WWE's handling of the Women's Tag Team Championship scene has left plenty to be desired, but when Sasha Banks and Bayley face three teams at WrestleMania, it will allow several talented women to get on the card.

The IIconics are likely the only real threat to dethrone The Boss 'n' Hug Connection, but due to the possibility of the Four Horsewomen embracing to close the show, Banks and Bayley figure to retain.

AJ Styles (11-10) vs. Randy Orton (67-100)

There won't be any titles on the line when AJ Styles and Randy Orton clash at WrestleMania, but their clash has show-stealing potential.

Their match is also one of the toughest ones to call on the entire card, but since a heavy contingent of babyfaces seems likely to win, Orton beating Styles would mix things up and create the more intriguing story moving forward as well.

Samoa Joe (19-50) vs. Rey Mysterio (9-5)

Samoa Joe is a heavy favorite in his United States Championship match against Rey Mysterio, but that may be the one big misfire by oddsmakers entering WrestleMania.

Mysterio's son, Dominic, has been heavily involved in the build to the match, which suggests he will have a part to play come Sunday, too.

With Dominic playing the role of equalizer, Mysterio will beat the bigger and stronger Joe for the title at WrestleMania.

Kurt Angle (19-50) vs. Baron Corbin (9-5)

In what is being billed as his retirement match, Kurt Angle will face Baron Corbin at WrestleMania in a clash few fans want to see.

WWE has to be aware of negative fan reaction, which could lead to Angle facing someone like John Cena or The Undertaker either instead of The Lone Wolf or after the match.

If Angle vs. Corbin does happen, The Olympic Gold Medalist will win a quick squash.

Buddy Murphy (29-100) vs. Tony Nese (5-2)

Buddy Murphy has enjoyed a dominant reign as cruiserweight champion, but he will face a tough test in the form of Tony Nese, who will be wrestling in front of his home fans since he is a Staten Island, New York native.

Look for Murphy to win in order to keep a cap on title changes, but of all the longshots, Nese is one of the best bets on the board since it is easy to see him winning on his home turf.

Bobby Lashley (4-1) vs. Finn Balor (17-100)

There is arguably no easier pick on the entire WrestleMania card than the Intercontinental Championship match between Bobby Lashley and Finn Balor.

Balor revealed Monday he will be bringing the "Demon" character to WrestleMania.

The Demon is undefeated on the WWE main roster, and that will remain so when he beats Lashley for the IC title.

The Usos vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet vs. The Bar vs. Shinsuke Nakamura & Rusev (No odds)

While there aren't yet any odds up for this late addition to the WrestleMania card, it seems likely to be a two-horse race between The Usos and the team of Aleister Black and Ricochet.

Assuming WWE intends to give Black and Ricochet some run as singles competitors in the near future, it would make sense for The Usos to retain and perhaps renew their rivalry with The New Day after WrestleMania, especially if Kingston leaves The Show of Shows as WWE champion.

Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal: Braun Strowman (27-20), Curt Hawkins (13-2), Rob Gronkowski (17-2), Ali (15-1)

The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal has been built around Braun Strowman's feud with Saturday Night Live correspondents Colin Jost and Michael Che, but that doesn't mean The Monster Among Men will prevail Sunday.

Curt Hawkins is an intriguing pick since having him end his losing streak at WrestleMania would be a great moment, but former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is my choice.

Gronk recently retired from football, and he got involved in the Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33, which would be the perfect setup for a win at WrestleMania 35.

WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal: Lacey Evans (7-4), Asuka (19-10), Mandy Rose (5-1), Sonya Deville (8-1), Nikki Bella (9-1), Ruby Riott (10-1), Naomi (14-1), Nikki Cross (14-1), Carmella (15-1)

The field is fairly wide open in the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal, and it is possible an NXT Superstar could come from out of nowhere to win it since the developmental brand is slated to be involved in the match.

For the past few months, however, WWE has trotted Lacey Evans down the aisle time after time, and there has to be some kind of payoff.

After her strong performance in the Royal Rumble, look for Evans to win on Sunday before finally getting built up as a top star in the women's division.
