Wanna Wrestle? Wrestlemania 34 picks


Well, things kicked off before I got home from work so I am just going to do a pick list rather than talk about all the matches.




(History Making) Female Battle Royal

Pick to Win: Becky Lynch


Andre the Giant Battle Royal

Matt Hardy won with the assist of Bray Wyatt.


WWE Cruiserweight Championship

Cedric Alexander Vs Mustafa Ali
I feel Cedric will come out on top.
UPDATE: Cedric New Champ


Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat Match

I would like to see Miz retain and make history with the longest reign 
as champ, but I feel that Balor may leave New Orleans with the belt.


RAW Women's Championship

I think Nia will give Bliss a run for the money.  Bliss will be victorious but wounded which will provide an opening for Carmella to cash in her MITB.
Carmella will the become the new champ.


Cena Vs the Undertaker?

If the Deadman accepts Cena's challenge, he will come out as the 
American Bad Ass and give Cena the Last Ride for the win.


WWE Championship

Styles will show all why he is the Phenomenal One and leave with his title.


US Championship Fatal 4 Way

I want Roode to be VICTORIOUS, but I feel Rusev may come out on top.


Shane McMahon & Daniel Bryan Vs KO and Sami

I feel that injuries and treachery will cause the Front Office of Smackdown to lose which will allow Owens and Zayn to win and be reinstated.


Smackdown Tag Team Championship Triple Threat

The Bludgeon Brothers may be a force to be reckoned with but this match will allow the USOs to stay the Champs.  It will be a blood bath regardless.


Team Angle Vs Team Authority

HHH and Stephanie will have a plan to win but  Rousey will make Stephanie tap out which will allow Team Angle to win.


RAW Tag Team Championship

The Bar will get destroyed by the Monster among men.
Strowman's partner could be Socko and he should still win.


Universal Championship

This one could go either way.  I believe Reigns will be victorious.


 Smackdown Live Women's Championship

This is the match that I believe will still the show.
The Queen Vs the Empress of Tomorrow will be a great match showcasing skill and talent.  Asuka will win and become the new Women's Champion.

Wanna Wrestle? My picks for nXt Takeover New Orleans


As all of you know, I am a huge wrestling fan.  This weekend is slam packed with action just like any Wrestlemania Weekend should be.  Wrestlemania 34 as well as nXt Takeover is special this year because it is taking place in my backyard of Nawlins or New Orleans for those of you out-of-towners.  I was not able to make the podcast predictions with my Somewhatnerdy brothers, so I decided to share my picks via my blog.  Since Takeover starts in a few hours, let me just get to the picks.



nXt Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Match: 
The Undisputed Era vs. the Authors Of Pain vs. Strong & Dunne

I feel this match could go either way.  I mean, matches with more than two opponents can be tricky and end up terrible for the champs.  The Undisputed Era have their hands full especially with Fish hurt and Cole being forced to work two matches.  So,basically it comes to timing.  If Cole wrestles in this match first, they have a shot at retaining, but if this is his second match we could see new champs.  I personally feel that creative is pushing for Strong and Dunne to win.  I think Cole will be called up and the Undisputed Era will get their rematch win Fish is healed.

Winners: New Tag Champs, Strong and Dunne



NXT North American Championship Ladder Match: 
EC3 vs. Adam Cole vs. Ricochet vs. Velveteen Dream 
vs. Lars Sullivan vs. Killian Dain

This match is going to be nothing but pain for all involved.  Since it is a ladder match, I do not see the powerhouses like Lars or Dain winning.  Cole could grab it, but like I said earlier, I feel he will be called up so why give him a title?  Velveteen Dream may have a following but I do not think he is championship material yet.  That leaves EC3 and Ricochet, which I feel will be the main focus of the match.  I think they were both brought in to be champions.  Since it is a ladder match, I think Ricochet will get the win.

Winner: Ricochet


 Unsanctioned Match: 
Johnny Gargano vs. Tommaso Ciampa

Johnny Wrestling Vs the Blackheart.  Who will win this battle of betrayal?  Since this is a non-sanction match, I believe the advantage will go to Ciampa.  I think he will go on to win and Gargano will be called up to 205 Live or Smackdown.

Winner: Tommaso Ciampa


nXt Women’s Championship Match: 
Ember Moon vs. Shayna Baszler

At first, this match was hard for me to make a prediction.  There are rumors that Ember will be called up soon and she is also wrestling with an injury which would make one think that Shayna will win.  However, with Rousey fighting at Wrestlemania, I don't see the chance for a "fighter"  to win on both PPV's.  Who knows, the may give the nod to Shayna to confuse fans about Rousey's match.  I want Ember to retain her title but her injury is a factor I cannot ignore.  It will be a tough battle but Shayna should come out on top.

Winner: New nXt Women's Champion, Shayna Baszler.



nXt Championship Match:
 Andrade “Cien” Almas  vs. Aleister Black

I am a huge Aleister Black fan and I want him to win this match.  I do feel that it will be a long and gruesome battle between the two and of course we can look forward to interference, but I feel Black will come out on top.  With that said, I also feel that Almas will be called up in the coming weeks.  Hell, who knows, he might be in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal tomorrow. 

Winner: New nXt Champion, Aleister Black.
