![]() ![]() Pick: Big E retains the title - SilversteinĬrews got an injection of life with his new character and his heel turn has involved some moments of real brutality toward Big E. Everyone would rush behind him getting a main event run, and he does need to lose the intercontinental title for that to happen, but I cannot see them beating a New Day member at 'Mania. So while Crews should theoretically win, this is the first time the newly-single Big E is in front of a crowd. He's also already lost to Big E on three separate occasions and was able to choose his own gimmick for this match (basically no holds barred). On the other, Crews has new life with his Nigerian royalty gimmick, and he looks like a million bucks. ![]() On one hand, Big E has done a great job with the title and has been elevated significantly as a singles wrestler with this run. ![]() This is one of the most difficult matches to predict on the card. Intercontinental Championship: Big E (c) vs. Pick: Kevin Owens wins - Silverstein (also Brookhouse) The obvious booking is for Owens to win and Zayn to complain. Owens is fresh off getting handed a trip of losses to Roman Reigns, while Zayn's entire gimmick is predicated on the forces at WWE working against him. This was definitely a hot-shot booking, but the end result is us getting Owens and Zayn, long-time best frends and on-screen rivals in a damn 'Mania match. Whether Paul joining Zayn was a work from Zayn's first mention of the YouTube star or something that happened organically, it has added a second big-name celebrity that appeals to a younger generation to WrestleMania. Pick: Natalya & Tamina win the titles - Brookhouse (also Silverstein) Jax and Baszler should also freshen up the women's division by breaking off into singles. There comes a time where you have to do something new with the division, and mixing things up with a title change is probably that something. Natalya & Taminaįor everything she has done in her career, Natalya has never had a true "WrestleMania moment." Whether she's a heel or not, winning a championship on the biggest stage in the game would certainly get a big reaction from the live crowd. Women's Tag Team Championship: Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Pick: Riddle retains the title - Brookhouse (also Silverstein) I don't know what that means, but it doesn't seem like something you do right before you have Riddle lose the belt in a match that had just a few weeks of minor build. Instead, they've given him flashy new presentation enhancements, like the weird CGI birds when he kicks off his slides. Riddle is still fresh into his title run, though, and this hasn't been built like a situation where he drops the belt. It's a shame that Sheamus probably isn't winning here because his work has been outstanding in recent months. United States Championship: Riddle (c) vs. Let's take a look at how our experts believe the action will play out and click here for full results, highlights and grades from the WrestleMania 37 Night 1 action on Saturday.
