WrestleMania 39 WWE Predictions (Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Uso, Jimmy, Rhea, Charlotte flair)

Unified Tag Team Championship: Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs. Jimmy & Jey Uso (C)

Why Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn will win:

 Even if he didn’t break up The Bloodline, Zayn did batter it over the past two months. A win over the Usos would set the stage for the next level of The Bloodline story as Reigns either retains his championships, pushing him to become an even more demanding/ruthless leader over the Usos and Solo Sikoa, or — if Reigns loses — blaming the Usos for their loss distracting him from his match against Rhodes. Someone from The Bloodline is going to lose this weekend and after Zayn didn’t get his championship moment in front of his hometown crowd at Elimination Chamber, this is a nice consolation prize. - 

Why the Usos will win:

 Am I the only one who’s noticed Owens reluctantly re-joining his on-again, off-again best friend? There just seems like a little too much condescension in their promos over the past few weeks to ignore. Late in the match, in need of a hot tag, Owens will look to the corner only for Zayn to be incapacitated. He eats the pin and, ever-the-hothead, goes off on his partner post-match, setting the stage for the next chapter in their ongoing saga that dates back to their days on the independent circuit. - John Parker


Smackdown Women's Championship: Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair (C)

Why Charlotte Flair will win: If Rhea Ripley wins she immediately becomes the de facto leader of The Judgment Day (more on this later), and she’s too talented to be a crony in a heel stable that inevitably will serve to get babyfaces over. Rhea loses, Judgment Day exiles her and she becomes a force on her own again. Charlotte Flair's skill level and understanding of the business make her deserving of being the SmackDown Women’s Champion for an extended run. This would also be the second time Ripley has come up short against Flair at WrestleMania, so with another loss it sets up Flair as the mountain that Ripley will eventually need to conquer. - Anthony Sulla-Heffinger

Why Rhea Ripley will win: Ripley is the biggest star in WWE not named Roman Reigns and all you need is watch Judgment Day segments on mute to see it. Pure magnetism and charisma. She has won a title at WrestleMania, but who took the Raw belt off of her? Charlotte. It was also Charlotte who won Ripley’s subsequent major title match although Ripley didn’t figure into the decision as it was a triple-threat. Ripley gets a win back here and – here’s hoping – Charlotte snaps in the post-match leading to a double turn with a heel Charlotte and babyface Ripley feuding into the summer. - John Parker
