It’s almost here. The Showcase of the Immortals celebrates its 30th edition this Sunday on WWE Network and on pay-per-view, and the last leg of The Road to WrestleMania has the entire WWE Universe buzzing with excitement.
Yet, beyond the grandeur and spectacle that go hand-in-hand with The Show of Shows, one ultimate question remains on the collective mind of the fans: Who’s going to win? On a stacked card befitting its hype, there’s no shortage of pick ’ems. Will The Streak survive? What about John Cena’s legacy? And can the “Yes!” Movement really go the distance?
@JoeyStyles: John Cena will win his match against upstart Bray Wyatt … officially. Though I expect Bray Wyatt to push the Cenation leader to his limits, I see “The Eater of Worlds” getting trapped in the STF, ready to tap out, when swamp monsters Luke Harper & Erick Rowan interfere to save their leader. Cena will win with a hollow disqualification, but will end up pummeled by The Wyatt Family. Frankly, I think Bray Wyatt is more interested in destroying Cena and everything he stands for than scoring a pinfall. If Cena doesn’t have a couple of allies in the locker room at the ready, he could spend the night at the emergency room on Tulane Street rather than on Bourbon Street.
WINNER:John Cena
@HowardFinkel: I’ve always admired the grit and gutsiness that John Cena brings to his in-ring battles; arguably there’s no one better. But the complex ideology of Bray Wyatt has gone the route of executing a calculated program of mind games that I feel has Cena mentally rattled. Factor Erick Rowan & Luke Harper into the equation, and on this night the brains (Wyatt) will triumph over the brawn (Cena).
WINNER: Bray Wyatt
Jake Grate: The inimitable John Cena has been up to every challenge that’s been thrown at him during his legendary WWE tenure. Bray Wyatt, however, is a uniquely dangerous competitor. In particular, his Royal Rumble victory over Daniel Bryan was eye-opening. I believe “The Eater of Worlds” will pick up another huge statement win as he seeks to remake WWE in his own twisted vision.
WINNER: Bray Wyatt
Alex Giannini: Who’s afraid of Bray Wyatt? Quite possibly John Cena. For the first time in his illustrious career, the Cenation leader faces down an unknowable foe — one who cares not for titles or glory, but for the utter destruction of his opponent’s legacy. And when it comes to Cena, especially, that legacy has been carefully cultivated and well-deserved. Cena is no stranger to big matches at WrestleMania, but what he’ll face in Bray Wyatt will be unlike any contest of his career. Though his ability to rise above is legendary, I think Cena will fall to the enigmatic Wyatt Family leader in New Orleans.
WINNER: Bray Wyatt
John Clapp: This is one of WrestleMania’s most fascinating matchups, as it lands Cena in an unusual position — far away from the main event or the WWE World Heavyweight Title, homed in completely on a threat that’s uniquely dangerous. I’m of the opinion that Cena is even more determined to defend the legacy of his career — in turn, justifying all the many sacrifices that come with it — than any championship he has fought for in the past. If Harper & Rowan are kept at bay, which is a big if, Cena comes out on top.
WINNER: John Cena
Bray Wyatt: 3, John Cena: 2
