Predicting WrestleMania 42
•
The four-man booth is back for the first podcast of the year as Shaz, Morro, Dunphy and Johnny Morts sit down to do what wrestling fans love most — try to predict WrestleMania 41.
From possible Royal Rumble winners to where the biggest names on the roster might land, the lads break down every major question heading into Mania season. Will Cody Rhodes and CM Punk still be champions by the time WrestleMania rolls around, and who could realistically stand across the ring from them? Where do rising names like Stephanie Vaquer and Jade Cargill fit into the biggest show of the year?
There’s also plenty of discussion around the secondary titles, with Carmelo Hayes and Dominik Mysterio holding gold, and whether those championships can develop stories worthy of the WrestleMania stage. The lads also look at the chances of the tag team titles finally getting meaningful space on the card, with teams like the Usos, Kabuki Warriors and Wyatt Sicks in the mix.
Gunther’s role looms large as well — does his WrestleMania match change someone’s career forever? As always, there’s speculation, disagreement, overthinking, and probably far too much booking. It might be our favourite podcast we’ve ever done — and if not, it’s at least our favourite of the year so far.
