Predicting the 13-match card for WrestleMania 35

The match that was teased on SmackDown 1000

#4 AJ Styles vs Randy Orton

The match was hinted on this past week's SmackDown when Orton confronted AJ backstage. Both superstars haven't had a proper program in the past, and deserve to have a full-fledged program with the initial match being a 20-minute classic at the grandest stage of them all.

Orton needs to get back to being a major threat on the main event scene, and thus needs a win at the big stage against one of the most dominant athletes in the WWE over the past three years.

Winner: Randy Orton

#5 Shane McMahon vs The Miz

The match was rumored back when the team of Shane and Miz formed, and went on to win the tag team titles. The duo lost the titles less than a month after winning them.

Although fans are speculating that The Miz will turn heel and attack Shane, the WWE might swerve us here and do the reverse. A Shane heel turn has been riding the rumor mill ever since he won the World Cup trophy at Crown Jewel.

The match will be the typical annual Shane spot fest, with The Miz coming out of it a full-blown babyface.

Winner: The Miz

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
