Here are the top matches set to take place during the showcase of the immortals and our predicted winners.

Goldberg (champion) vs. Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship

This long-running feud finally comes to an end at WrestleMania with Lesnar looking for revenge after repeatedly being embarrassed by Goldberg. Taking into account how The Beast has already lost to Goldberg and how the current champ is ready for retirement, it's easy to see Lesnar walking away as the victor and as the new Universal Champion.

Predicted winner: Brock Lesnar

Bray Wyatt (champion) vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship

Despite Orton having already lost to Wyatt and despite The Viper's successful attempt to infiltrate and dismantle The Wyatt Family, The Eater of Worlds title reign is still young and the WWE will be looking to the more fresh-faced Wyatt to carry Smackdown Live into the future. The era of Wyatt has truly begun.

Predicted winner: Bray Wyatt

The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns

In a match that is sure to rub a few fans the wrong way, The Undertaker who holds an impressive 23-1 record at WrestleMania, will earn another loss to Reigns who the WWE is hellbent on pushing as their top star despite mixed crowd reactions. Expect more then a fair share of boos during this match especially as Reigns readies his patent Spear. The backlash may continue for months if it's announced that this match will be Undertaker's last at the show of shows.

Predicted winner: Roman Reigns

John Cena & Nikki Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse

The battle to determine who is the top power couple in WWE will end with Cena and Bella's hands raised in victory as WWE will look to capitalize on the pair's popularity in and outside of the company. With The Miz constantly bringing up how Cena has yet to propose to Bella, perhaps an in-ring proposal in front of the entire world is in the cards as well. One thing is for sure, the ensuing match is destined to be explored in a future episode of Total Divas.

Predicted winner: John Cena & Nikki Bella

Triple H vs. Seth Rollins in a Non-Sanctioned Match

Despite his injured knee, Rollins is going through with this match in order to settle the score with his former mentor. Having signed a No Holds Harmless Agreement, Triple H has been given free reign to punish The Architect further in what promises to be a brutal match. Fans are in store for a violent display full of chairs, tables and Triple H's trusty sledgehammer. When the dust clears, Rollins will be the last one standing after a hard-fought battle.

Predicted winner: Seth Rollins

Shane McMahon vs. AJ Styles

Smackdown Live commissioner Shane McMahon is out for blood against AJ Styles who feels he has been wronged following his impressive debut year in the WWE. This bout may have far-reaching repercussions as this may lead to Styles jumping ship over to Raw. If true, Styles will win this match to continue to appear strong as he ventures off to take on a new set of opponents on Monday nights.

Predicted winner: AJ Styles

Chris Jericho (champion) vs. Kevin Owens for the United States Championship

Best friends turned bitter rivals finally meet at WrestleMania for Jericho's United States Championship. A feud months in the making, Owens has had it rough after losing his Universal title to Goldberg and will be looking for a rebound victory against his former running-mate. With still a bright future ahead in the WWE and Owens desperately needing a victory, Jericho will lose after a valiant effort.

Predicted winner: Kevin Owens

Bayley (champion) vs. Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Nia Jax in a Fatal 4-Way match for the Raw Women's Championship

The top stars in Raw's women division will be on full display here with each woman getting their time to shine on the grandest stage of them all. After a collection of special moves and near falls, Bayley will still leave WrestleMania as champion to continue the Huggable One's feel good championship reign. As is almost tradition however, a new challenger may be lurking on Raw after WrestleMania that could take away Bayley's title.

Predicted winner: Bayley

Dean Ambrose (champion) vs. Baron Corbin for the Intercontinental Championship

Corbin seems destined for great things in the WWE as The Lone Wolf has continued to impress in big match situations. Corbin will continue that trend and get the win here as he continues his march towards the WWE Championship. Ambrose who has become a workhorse for the company, could use a vacation and may be deemed injured as a result of the match.
