What is going on? Everybody? And welcome to this week's Main Event review hosted by your boy Daniel. This will be the last main event review before WrestleMania finally kicks off. Yes, we are less than a week away from WrestleMania, and honestly, it felt like yesterday since the last WrestleMania occurred, when we had the major events that occurred there with Cody Rootes with the title on the main event of WrestleMania,

and everything that happened in between two. It has gone a full calendar year and we're now looking forward to WrestleMania forty one in what will be a very interesting WrestleMania lots of interesting matches that I'm going to offer my review and predictions for at the end of this review, and hopefully next week we'll be able to kind of review the post WrestleMania match results as well as the two matches that we have on a regular basis on

main Event. But again, really excited to bring you another

main event review. Being one week away from WrestleMania, I'm sure there's going to be a lot to cover in this episode, but we won't spent too much time introducing it, and we'll guess kick into the first match of two being Maxine Dupre taking on Shane at Basler and max In Dupre getting a solo match, a singles match for the first time in a long time, not being actually with the support of Otis and Curtazawa, probably being the fact that they were preparing for their second match, But anyways,

the match gets kicked off, Shanna Beza starts pretty well and then Maxine kind of takes control of the match, builds her momentum, and then as she as there is a kickout from Shanna Beza from the worman and elbow, Maxine Dupris goes for a sharp Shooter and as she tries to go for that, gets counted into a I'm pretty sure like a Boston Crab or a langule lock

or one leg Boston Crab tapping out there. And it was just interesting to see that because obviously from the events of SmackDown in the Gauntlet match that we saw the same thing occurred there Maxine Depris trying to go for Batalia's sharpshooter and then obviously costing them their opportunity to fight at WrestleMania. So Maxine showing that she's obviously still raw and lacking experience, and Natalie is just going to have to mentor her and be frustrated with her

during that time. But it's great to see that there is some story with Maxine Dupris. It's finally occurring her. It's finally happening that her she's finally getting into the ring, so they're finally deciding to get her more involved in the ring. The fans have seemed to adore her and give her quite decent reactions when she's in ring as well, so this is great for the trajectory of Maxine Depri.

We'll just have to see how this goes with Natalia, whether Natalie continues to stay a mentor or becomes impatient, and there might be a feud between the two of them as well, but again something to look out for, most likely post WrestleMania. The show then transitions onto Raw, where we have the opening segment of Raw with Adam Pierce in the ring with the Women's World title basically

there to address the situation between the three superstars. First, he basically and apologizes as to what happened last week, putting Bianca Bellat in the situation to be the special guest referee, and he asked for everyone to come down, all of them come into the ring. He basically confirms what we've all been anticipating, and that is the triple threat match between the three superstars of Bianca Ballet and

Rare Ripley. They basically all signed the contract there and we have Rea Ripley and Bianca Ballet once again getting into it and dismissing EO Sky with another pie faced palm. Eosky then retaliates, jumps up from the top rope and lands a very vicious drop kick that pretty much gave Real Ripley whiplash, and then also the impact from that whiplash onto Bianco Ballet was pretty brutal. It was a

pretty realistic spot there. You could tell that that dropkick actually booked legit and there was proper damage done to both superst but a great way for erskuy To. I guess put out a statement still claiming that she's the forgotten one, in this trio and that she won't be one to mess with as well. And I really think and don't want to hold my spoilers or my predictions too late, but I definitely think there's something there with

Eskuy potentially maintaining retaining the title. Sorry as Bianco Ballet and rearibly look to be in the way of each other and lack that opportunity to go for the women's title and not take advantage of that. So definitely something to look out for there. We then transition into the face to face with Guansha and jay Uso, with Gantha making his entrance and then Juso making his entrance from the crowd but obviously not being too pleased with Gantha

attacking Jimmy Uso in the previous episode. Basically, jim Uso comes in pulls out a very effective promo, basically telling Guanntha if he's had a mother and he had to tell his mother that he wasn't able to protect his own brother, putting out the kind of statement originally saying that he felt afraid and hopeless and continuing to go through that kind of underdog persona, then eventually saying to

Gantha that he brought the worst out of him. He's angry, he's frustrated, and he's going to basically cunt for Guantha now. So this has obviously become a lot more personal, and obviously Juso is now going to go all in on Gun through as well. And to be honest, the promo was very effective. It was probably one of the strongest

promos I've seen from Juso throughout this whole segment. He hasn't done the best job, as I've mentioned before in hyping this up, but I think this promo was effective enough to get us believing and kind of rooting for Juso to win the World Heavyweight Championship as well. And it was just great how they were able to implement Jimmy Ussa into this feud. I think it was much needed. I needed to have a personal twist to it, and Gantha really played the role really well in torturing Jimmy

last week. And now Jay's showing his feelings, expressing his sadness, his frustration, and all he's looking for is to give Guantha revenge. Here. Let's see what happens in next week's raw. But I think most of the tension now has been addressed, and we're going to have the wag too what happens at WrestleMania moving forward to but again sort of reviving the storyline, but still very underwhelming and definitely not worthy of a main event card. And I still kind of

do hope that Gantha still wins. As I've explained before, it feels as though it's too premature for him to give it up to ja Uso, but again we'll leave that to the predictions. We then move on to a main event where we get Akira, Tazawa and Otis, the Alpha Babes, the ones that are always on main event, with Maxine dupri So despite her losing, still coming out to support the Alpha Academy. There, we have them coming up against the a Town down Under, who somehow are

still a tag team. I'm still waiting for the day that they split these two up. They get a loss here again with the Alpha Academy otors doing a body slam and then a curate as that were doing the sent on from the top. So even Atown down Under can't even beat the Alpha Academy, who pretty much come on main event and lose every week or most weeks to different opponents. So they really just need to split

these two up because it's becoming a joke. Now. These guys are not doing anything on Raw, they're not doing anything on main event. They're clearly no one really cares about them as a tag team. The only way we're going to get heat from the two is if these two split up. And I think it's just affecting Austin Theory's career more than it is Grayson Waller. But Austin Theory obviously being majorly pushed by Vince McMahon has resulted to taking cross body losses from JUSO and now to

lose on main event to basically the Arpha Academy. And to be honest, I would consider if this keeps going for Austin Theory to just probably go somewhere else and reinnite his career because it seems like he's getting very underused and undervalued here. So definitely frustrated to see, especially given that these two have been feuding for every year now. You've seen tensions between the two as in Grays and Waller and Austin Theory, and they still haven't managed to

pull the trigger on these two splitting up. So again, really frustrated for frustrating and hopefully we can see a change in that as well. We then close the show with Paul Hayman coming out to the ring basically Seth Rolins coming out. Hammond said that he will be loyal to Roman Reigns, but also claim that he'll be loyal to his best friend. See so this man. This main event is basically a match for who wants Hayman as well.

But again Seth Rolins comes into the ring, makes his entrance and then asks Hayman which side is he on. So basically Seth Rowlands is playing a bit of devil on the shoulder to Paul Hayman and basically convincing him that no one needs him and that it's best that

he doesn't get involved in the match. As he does that, Seth Rolans threatens to hit him, grabs him by the shoulder, and then while that happens, Punk walks out tries to attack Seth Rolinans, and then as they do get into a beef, you see Seth Rollins putting a curb stop on putting a camp stop on CM Punk and then as Paul Hayman basically lies there to protect or to look at to see if if CM punk is okay, pretends to curb stop Paul Hayman and then at the end says, now you owe me a favor, which is

quite interesting. It as an extra dynamic to this. Clearly they're using Paul Hayman as the person of significance in this match, and I think that that leads that could lead to something and really give us a bit of a hint as to who can potentially win this match as well, which is going to be interesting. So now that the main event review is done, I know it's

a bit of a quick flashy one. The reason why I didn't dive too deep into the storylines is because I wanted to obviously review each matches and basically justify who do I think is going to win the matches. So moving on to that, we're going to break down the card. I'm just going to have the card loaded up and I'm going to predict each winner of that from start to finish. So the first match being the

war Raiders and the New Day. I'm quite proud that I kind of predicted that was going to be a match here, predict that New Day are going to win the titles. Here, I feel like this is going to kickstart their massive He'll Run and with the Tag Team Champions or the World Tag Team Champions. I believe that this will make them a bit more titles, a bit more relevant, and allow for Xaviel Woods and Covid Kingston to pull out some more promos and really take off

their kind of He'll Run to Storm as well. We then have the match between La Knight and Jacob Fattou. A lot of people are predicting Jacob Fattou to win this match. However, I feel as though that maybe Solo might have something to do with this and potentially interfere the match. I've noticed that they've had a lot of tensions previously on Smackdowns, so definitely could see that happening as well. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Iatu wins

the match. I think that's more favorable, but I'm going to go with La Night, retaining just to the sheer fact that Jacob Fattu will get distracted here. We then have the match between j Cargill and Naomi and this match can go either way. Will they push Jade Cargo to the moon, Will they feel as though she can be the future and take the women's division to the next level, or will they come up with an upset

and really get Naomi's Hill run going here. This one is really hard to choose, and if I had to choose, I feel like wwe are going to lean towards Jay Cargo winning the match, but I'd much prefer seeing Naomi win because I feel like she's doing an extremely good job as a heel. And I have to give credit to these two because they're the first ever women's match on WrestleMania that is going to happen without a title match involved, So great credit to these two for creating

a very good promo here. This is going to be a chance for us to see if Jake Cargo can wrestle for more than ten minutes, and also a point to see how Nami Naomi is as a heel wrestler, and she's doing a great job in being a hill at the moment as well, So really really impressed with that. We then get the next match between Raymusterio and El Grande Americano. I think that El Grande Americana is going to win this match. Her reason being is because obviously

they've just started with the Luchador character. Gables had problems and troubles with fighting Lucha Dor's, and this is the chance for him to show that he can defeat Luchador's, especially being Ol Grande Americano all well, supposedly not being him, but we obviously know it's him, but it's still it's still quite hilarious how they're going with this angle. But I think Ol Grande Americana gets the victory here. We then have the match between Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair.

Now I do obviously want Tiffany Stratton to win because I feel like she's young, she's upcoming, and she's obviously worthy of retaining the title being that young superstar. But for some reason, I am going to say Charlotte Flair

is going to win the title. And the reason why I say that is because if I think the promo's going a little bit too far, Charlotte Flair are probably going to throw her chips in and being able to take all that criticism, and it just feels as though if you are someone that is throwing those shots, someone is going to retaliate and back it up. So Charlotte losing this match won't allow her to really do anything else.

In WW, Tiffany Strang has a long future ahead, and as much as I prefer her to retain, I feel like they're going to run with Charlotte being a champion, making the crowd very annoyed and upset, getting more heat on her, but her then just showing that she is the queen and no matter how much criticism she gets or what Tiffany says about her, she ends up being the champion, So I think she wins the title here.

We then have the World Heavyweight Championship match between Juso and Gunfa and I did mention previous weeks and on multiple occasions that I do want Gunza to win this match. However, I feel like WW is going to pull the trigger and give Juso the title here so he can yeat the whole stadium away and finally break the barrier there, and there will be two matches in a row where Gunthera loses to the underdog after a long reign with

the title, which is extremely disappointing too. But again, I think Uso wins the title here purely because of that WrestleMania moment and all the heat he had in the past, but again I really do hope Guntha wins and I'm wrong.

We then have the main event between CM Punk, Roman Rains and Seth Rolins, and I feel as though that based on that promo between Paul Hayman and Seth Rowlands, I think Seth Rolins will get the victory here, reason being because of the three of them, Seth Rolins has been the most loyal company guy to WW Roman Rains obviously being a part timer doesn't make sense for him to win, and Sampunk having Paul Hayman by his side already has that advantage, and I think Seth Rollins gets

the victory here. And as a hot take, I feel as though Paul Hayman will then be the wise man or self Seth Horlans manager moving forward as a massive plus tw his whole situation, and that might be the favor that now Seth Rowlins is apparently owed. Apparently everyone can get favors for fun from Paul Hayman, so Seth Rowlins will get the victory here in my prediction. We then have the tag team matches between Live Morgan Bailey

and Ricua Rodriguez. I think Morgan and Rodriguez will retain the title and might spark some tension between Laya, Valkira and Bailey not being able to work together as a tag team and then eventually their feud going into the Intercontinental Women's title is probably my opinion there, but nothing too much there. We then have the Fatal four way for the Intercontinental Championship, Ron Breakers Penta fas Dominic Vasiro versus Finnbala and quite personally, I'm really proud to say

that I predicted this match as well. Obviously after Penter beating Kaiser made him definitely being part of those Intercontinental Championship contendership, but again before I did think originally it was aj Styles, but I got three of the four

right just after Elimination Chamber. Then as a story went on, I predicted that Penta would get involved and for this one, a lot of people and in Australia we have betting site, a lot of people are saying that Dominique Mysterio is the favorite to win this match, but I think Breaker

wins the match here and retains the title. I think Dominic Mysterian and Finnbala will get in the way of each other and this will open up a feud between them, and then possibly bron Breaker and Penta going at it at Backlash or some other PL's in the future where they have the chance to just go one on one.

So I think Breaker will retain here. I don't think it's the right time to give Penter the title yet, being fresh in the WWE and bron Breaker has done an excellent job for the company being his first WrestleMania match as the title holder, I just don't see him losing. We then have aj Styles and Logan Paul. I think Logan Paul wins this match. I think it's the past of the Torch moment. AJ Styles is on his last legs in WWE and a wrestler match moment won't be

anything of worth to him at this stage. But again, this match is going to be extremely good. I reckon There's going to be some amazing spots there and a lot of yeah good moves and performances from the two. It's going to be really cool to see how these two work together in ring as well. We then have the Sin City Street Fight, which right now is the only match on the car that actually has a stipulation, which is really good between Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre.

I think this one's really easy to predict Drew McIntire getting the victory here. He's too good to not drop this match, especially being a non title and there's so many more plans for him, I feel for the future, competing for ww championships and having more kind of memorial feuds.

This will be a reward for his excellent feud we've Ceampunk last year, So McIntyre will get the victory here, and then we've got the triple threat match between the Women's World Championship with sky Very Ripley and Bianca Ballet. A lot of people again are saying that Balair will retain the title. The fact that she's basically five will be four and no at WrestleMania. This will make it five and no. But I do think that Eosky wins the title here. The reason why I say that is

because I feel like she's getting underlooked in here. Real Ripley and Bianco Ballet will get in the way of each other too much. That will give advantage to Eoskuy to maintain her title, and I feel like she's won

with the fans as well. She's probably the hottest of the three right now in terms of fan love, and I think that she retains over here, and then we get the main event for WrestleMania with John Cinna versus Cody Rhodes, and this is going to be a very captivating match and extremely interesting, and with the Rock to still be in the play here, I think there's going to be room for a lot more things to occur.

As I said in the previous prediction, if j Usso wins, that will kind of determine what we'll get in the main event for the second show, obviously ending on a high and then obviously the next day ending on a low. Here. So John Cena will be a seventeenth time world champion. It just makes sense given that he's got his last year here. He won't lose his first match as a heel. I don't think that would make any sense and there won't be any real significant plans for him if he

doesn't win the match here. So I think John Cena will win World Heavyweight Champ, well the WWE Championship, and yes go on to get his seventeenth world title and solidifying himself as the most decorated world champion in WWE. So that wraps up my WrestleMania predictions that also wraps up the main event review. I really hope you guys enjoyed this week's main event review and hopefully you guys enjoy a WrestleMania as well. I for one certainly cannot wait.

It starts at nine am here on Easter Sunday and also Monday as well, where we have a day off due to the Easter break. So extremely excited to just spend my whole morning or watching WrestleMania locking in and then after that putting out a main event review as well as a WrestleMania review to cap off everything there. So once again it's been your boy, Daniel. Thank you guys for tuning in and I will catch you guys next week. Cheers.
