Mat Matters: My Better WrestleMania Card

WrestleMania is just over a month away and all we have are a handful of matches for the two night event and some fans are not too pleased with some of those choices.

Well, I have put on my thinking cap to come up with a better card than we have thus far or we might in the very end. One caveat though, the current matches remain on the board as the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber have already been held and injured wrestlers on the roster stay injured as I would have no idea when they could be returning to action, talent like Kevin Owens, for example.

Also, it is difficult to fit everyone on the card so we might need a women’s battle royal on night one and a men’s on night two. The reward? A future championship match.

The booked matches are:

CM Punk (c) vs. Roman Reigns – Undisputed WWE Championship
Jade Cargill (c) vs. Rhea Ripley – WWE Women’s Championship
Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Liv Morgan – Women’s World Championship
Brock Lesnar Open Challenge: Brock Lesnar vs. To Be Announced

My matches are:

Cody Rhodes versus Randy Orton – Undisputed WWE Championship Match

Drew McIntyre loses to Cody on the upcoming episode of Smackdown setting up that match.

Drew McIntyre versus Jacob Fatu – Samoan Strap Match

Fatu wants revenge for all of McIntyre’s interference.

The “Original” El Grande Americano versus El Grande Americano

The winner claims the mantle of El Grande Americano going forward.

Danhausen versus Johnny Gargano

An off-kilter Gargano blames a “curse” from Danhausen for all of his recent bad luck.

AJ Lee (c) versus Nattie – Women’s Intercontinental Championship

A clash of styles.

The Hardy Boys versus The Usos – World Tag Team Championship, Ladder Match

No explanation necessary.

Seth Rollins versus Logan Paul

The old Vision leader versus the new Vision leader.

Oba Femi versus Rusev – Chain Match

A battle of the heavyweights.

Brock Lesnar versus Gunther

Word is that Brock has picked SummerSlam as his retirement match. Of course, Gunther will get the call for that big bout and should be for his final WrestleMania match. Brock loses to Gunther by the slimest of margins and demands a rematch at SummerSlam. Gunther, naturally, will only agree if Lesnar puts his career on the line. You know what happens next.

The Bella Twins versus Nia Jax and Lash Legend – Women’s Tag Team Championship

If you are going to bring back The Bellas you might as well put them to good use in an underdog match.

Finn Balor versus Dominik Mysterio – Intercontinental Championship Match

Balor shifts back to the light turning his back on Judgment Day.

Je’Von Evans versus Rey Fenix

An athletic battle for the ages.

Trick Williams versus Carmelo Hayes – WWE United States Championship Match

Their NXT feud is renewed on the biggest stage of them all.

Giulia versus Alexa Bliss – Women’s United States Championship Match

Good skill set match-up.

Becky Lynch versus Charlotte Flair

Charlotte is the latest person to cross Lynch’s path, rub her losses in her face. Their feud is renewed.

The Wyatt Sicks versus My Family Tree – Street Fight

Winners claim the Wyatt Lantern.

Iyo Sky versus Asuka

They have been feuding all year long. Perhaps this needs a stipulation, perhaps not.

Aleister Black versus Ilja Dragunov

I would rather have Sheamus against Ilya but he’s injured so…

Tiffany Stratton versus Jordynne Grace

Barbie against the bruiser.

Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga (c) versus The Motor City Machine Guns versus The Street Profits versus Fraxiom – Samoan Survival WWE Tag Team Championship Match

Steel cage match. Texas Tornado rules.

Matt Cardona versus LA Knight

Too big, boisterous personalities slugging it out. Imagine those promos.

Shinsuke Nakamura versus Penta

They are both Disciplined but savage fighters.
