Preview & Predictions for WWE WrestleMania Saturday 2026:
On tap for tonight's event, the first hour will start off with the six-man tag team match and the unsanctioned fight. I'm anticipating IShowSpeed to turn on The Vision, leading to LA Knight and The Usos winning, and for Jacob Fatu to beat Drew McIntyre.
When it comes to the Women's Tag Team Championship, The Bella Twins seemed like the favorites heading into it just for the purpose of putting the belts on them. Given Nikki Bella's injury, though, those plans could very well be put on hold. If she's cleared, I think they'll win the belts. If there is any hesitation behind it, I think WWE could very well put the titles on Bayley and Lyra Valkyria to try to make up for what they did with Bayley last year.
I don't anticipate a title change with AJ Lee dropping the Women's Intercontinental Championship back to Becky Lynch. It's not a guarantee, but I'd lean in that direction.
I do think, however, that Liv Morgan is definitely beating Stephanie Vaquer to win the women's world title. That seems like a safe bet.
Watch out for Bron Breakker to interfere to cost Seth Rollins his match against Gunther, and I'm split on Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, but I think if WWE wants to run this back for Backlash if not longer, a title change could very well be on the lineup. Then again, Orton and Pat McAfee could team up against Rhodes and Jelly Roll at that event without The Viper capturing the belt, so flip a coin on that one.
