The WWE is just days away from their biggest show of the year as they present WrestleMania 34 at the Mercedes Benz Dome in New Orleans. This is the second time in five years the WWE will be bringing WrestleMania to New Orleans.
Last time around WrestleMania XXX provided several memorable moments such as The Undertakers streak ending and Daniel Bryan running the gauntlet to walk away the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
NEOSI is always on top of the action when it comes to pro wrestling and will be breaking down the action match by match leading up to the “Show of Shows” Sunday Night in the Big Easy.
Match – Randy Orton defends his US Title vs Rusev, Bobby Roode vs Jinder Mahal
Summary – It’s been a great 12 months for Jinder, the WWE continues to award his hard work by putting him in this match. Bobby Roode has done well since his arrival to the main roster and his sudden title loss last month came as a shock to many. Orton simply has the title so he could cross that one last thing off the career check list. Rusev was an after thought until Aiden English jump started his career with Rusev Day!
All in all, a great match concept. I can make a solid case for each guy to win, but at the same time an even stronger case as to why each wont. As over as Rusev is, the WWE added him late, so that more or less means he is not winning anything anytime soon.
Orton is a natural fit with this belt, but again, it almost seems like a checklist filler then a career path. Vince McMahon seems to get sick pleasure in having “new guys” lose at their first WrestleMania (AJ Styles, Sting, Big Show etc.)
Prediction – Jinder Mahal
Reason – Just when you thought fans couldn’t hate Jinder Mahal even more then they already did, he will have the United States title put on him. This move is brilliant if they truly go through with it. As I said, Rusev is over even without the belt. Roode is to “new” to win at his first Mania, and Orton is Orton, he has more than likely already asked for it to be taken off him so he has one less thing to pack on the road.
