WrestleMania Rumors: Card, Goldberg, Undertaker, Strowman, Much More

Jan 27, 2017

Here is some of the current planned/expected card for WrestleMania 33 along with a few rumors, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Card

The currently planned/expected matches are below. More matches will be added and any of this could change, of course.

– Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar
– The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns
– Triple H vs. Seth Rollins
– Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens
– Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton
– Big Show vs. Shaquille O’Neal
– Charlotte vs. Bayley vs. Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax
– AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon (?)
– John Cena vs. Samoa Joe (?)
– Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

Owens and Styles Won’t Be World Champions?

The plans right now are that neither AJ Styles or Kevin Owens will be the WWE or Universal champions going into WrestleMania.

Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton For WWE Title?

There is reportedly a plan going around that would have Randy Orton win the Royal Rumble and Bray Wyatt win the Elimination Chamber PPV match to become the WWE Champion. Orton would then face Wyatt for the WWE title at WrestleMania. Obviously, that plan could change.

Universal Title Match

The Universal Title match would most likely be either Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar or The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns.

Goldberg has been mentioning going for “the title” a lot, so that seems like it could be a scenario.

Owens vs. Jericho

Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho seems like it would be for the United States title. Jericho is expected to take a break some time after WrestleMania to tour with his band this summer.

AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon?

There are some rumors that AJ Styles may end up facing Shane McMahon. There was some minor tension between them teased on Talking Smack this week, so that could be something.

The original plan was to have Shane McMahon face Brock Lesnar, but that plan was scrapped after Goldberg agreed to stay past his Survivor Series match against Lesnar.

John Cena vs. Samoa Joe?

John Cena vs. Samoa Joe is an idea that has been pitched. Joe is expected to be called up very soon (maybe at the Rumble) and has been rumored to get a big push, and Cena currently doesn’t really have anywhere else where he fits, so it would make sense.

Braun Strowman

WWE has been teasing tension between Strowman and the Undertaker, Big Show, Goldberg and Lesnar, but all of those guys are “taken” as of right now.

There are rumors they may just put Strowman in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal and have him dominate that, then possibly start a feud with one of the four guys above after WrestleMania
