Asuka is one of the few reasons I watch WWE. To have her screwed 12 days before Wrestlemania is heartbreaking.

Yeah, it is really weird how much she is underachieving lately, especially considering she is probably in the top 3 most popular women in the company, and probably the most solid in-ring talent in the division - maybe not as flashy as Ember Moon, but her moves look more impactful and her ability to tell a good story in a match has few rivals in the company (men or women)... and I don't say that lightly -- including NXT, in-ring storytelling (for singles matches, not tag) is probably better than it's been since at least 2001.

The WM35 card is terrible.

I completely disagree. There aren't any bad matchups on the card, and only a few mediocre (Drew vs. Roman, Kurt vs. Corbin, and Triple H vs. Batista). The closeout matches are FAR more interesting than anything in a very very long time. Not only do we have Becky in the main event, but Kofi in the co-main event; two major wrestlers that feel like they actually earned their way to the top, rather than artificially placed there. Like Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania 30, these are organic stars.

On top of two very interesting stories going into Wrestlemania, these 5 are also far more capable in-ring performers than most Wrestlemania main eventers have ever been. They are capable of putting on entertaining matches that aren't just elongated spot fests featuring 3-5 signature moves on repeat. And also in the upper card, Rollins might actually get a great match out of Lesnar as well (though I expect this one to be weaker, especially since Lesnar is almost certainly going to win). The refresher, Balor vs. Lashley, while it will be short, will be a highlight. The weakest match in the second half will be Roman vs. Mcintyre, and that is still more interesting than almost every match from the second half of last year's WrestleMania (I'd say AJ vs. Nakamura was more interesting, but even still, that one was incredibly disappointing).

Worst case scenario, the second half of the show will still be significantly better than WrestleMania 34.

Last Minute Wrestlemania predictions
Miz vs Shane: Shane wins
Smackdown Tag Team Championship match: Ricochet and Aleister Black Wins
Kurt vs Baron: Kurt Wins
Womens Tag Team Championship Match: Boss n' Hug Wins
Samoa Joe vs Rey Mysterio; Samoa Joe Wins
Bobby Lashley vs Finn Balor: Finn Wins
Triple H vs Batista: HHH wins
AJ styles vs Randy Orton: Orton wins( and this will be the best match of the show).
Roman vs Mcintyre: Roman Wins
Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston- Kofi Wins
Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins- Brock
Ronda vs Becky vs Charlotte- Becky wins



😅



Haha, I thought Brock would win that one too.

Aleister Black's entrance is consistently screwed up on RAW and Smackdown. Noticed that they forgot the smoke for his Wrestlemania entrance =D

I agree with all of your picks, except I am going for Natalya and Beth Phoenix; and Batista wins over Triple H.

My pick for match of the show is either the main event or Kofi. I think Finn vs. Lashley will be a great refresher match before the last push of the night.

The Smackdown tag match IMO is by far the best so far; a little disapointed with Shinsuke not getting enough time - he could have had a great exchange with Black. Ricochet was the star of the match.

HAHAHA, Shane for best/funniest intro so far =D

I'd love to see Shayna and the other two interfere in the main event, kicking off a major horsewoman feud for next year.

My predictions have been horrible so far...and Randy vs styles was good, but not great. It is not my night



Just wow! Kofimania was a truly great moment. 15 years since we've seen something like this.

I guess Rey wasn’t actually cleared to compete
