We are just one day away from WrestleMania 32, which one of the biggest shows in WrestleMania history. Although the build-up hasn’t been ideal for a ton of these matches, there are several huge matches scheduled for the “Grandest Stage of Them All.” There are so many matches, in fact, that WWE had to schedule three of the matches (including a championship match) for the pre-show. Let’s take a look at what’s to come tomorrow night in Dallas.
Team B.A.D. & Blonde (Naomi, Tamina, Lana, Emma, & Summer Rae) vs. Team Total Divas (Paige, Brie Bella, Natalya, Alicia Fox, Eva Marie)
This match seems thrown together, but that is because all of the buildup has been on Main Event, which is a show that most people don’t even know exists. I still have no idea why this match is happening. All I know is that this features the in-ring debut of Lana, as well as Emma being brought back to the main roster.
Prediction:
Brie Bella is expected to retire soon, so this match might be her WrestleMania moment before she starts a family with Daniel Bryan. However, I’m going to make a bold prediction and give the win to the debuting Lana. Winners: Team B.A.D. & Blonde
Kalisto (c) vs. Ryback – United States Championship
Over the past few weeks, Ryback has taunted Kalisto for being small. In the mind of “The Big Guy,” size matters when it comes to the WWE. There is no convincing Ryback that someone like Kalisto can be a believable champion in the WWE (because apparently Daniel Bryan wasn’t believable). Kalisto looks to prove to Ryback that it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.
Prediction:
There are two reasons that this is on the pre-show. Either WWE doesn’t care about this match (as seen with their booking) or they want to use this match to excite viewers for what’s to come later in the night. Kalisto hasn’t really had any direction over the last few weeks, and Ryback has been getting more of the spotlight. It is likely for this to continue, so I think the “Big Guy” is going to add the United States Championship to his accolades. Winner, and NEW United States Champion: Ryback
The Usos vs. The Dudley Boyz
Jimmy and Jey Uso teamed with Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley several weeks ago to take on The New Day and Mark Henry in a tables match. They would end up winning the match, but the Dudley Boyz had enough of the fans chanting for the tables instead of them. This would lead to the Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley putting each of the Usos through a table, and have decided to do away with tables ever since.
In the weeks following, the Dudleys would be angry at pretty much everybody, and the Usos needed to get back at the Dudleys for turning on them in their tag team match. On the WrestleMania 32 Pre-Show, The Usos have their opportunity to get revenge.
Prediction:
The Dudley Boyz are in the position of similar veteran wrestlers their age (Big Show, Kane, Chris Jericho). Their job is to use their status to elevate the younger talent by putting them over. This match is a good opportunity for the Dudley Boyz to put over the Usos, and maybe start a Bubba Ray Dudley heel turn, and give him a run similar to what we saw with his Bully Ray gimmick in TNA. Winners: The Usos
The WrestleMania 32 Pre-Show will be available on YouTube, WWE.com, and the WWE Network, with the second hour also available for viewing on the USA Network. The Pre-Show starts at 5ET, and the main show starts at 7ET.
