10 Big WWE Predictions For The Road To WrestleMania 34

3. Zayn & Owens Collide (With A Twist)

After several months as a ludicrously entertaining troll heel act, it looks like Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are on the verge of a breakdown. Sami walked out on KO during a tag match this week, and they'll wrestle for WWE Title contendership on Tuesday night. While it'd be a shame to see their excellent partnership fall apart, it'd open an exciting WrestleMania 34 possibility.

There's still tension between Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon. Their differing ideas on how to best handle the heel duo has shaken their own relationship, and while a 'Mania bout between the two authority figures could be on the cards, the past week's developments suggests a different outcome.

Expect the fracturing to continue on both sides, leading to a situation where Bryan and McMahon take Sami and Kevin on as proxies. The duo then clash at WrestleMania, with one representing the Commissioner, and the other the General Manager. This would let WWE reintroduce Daniel to a pseudo-competitive environment without risking his health. It's extremely unlikely that they'll ever go against their own doctor's orders, and thus, a managerial role for the authority figures, with Bryan taking McMahon out with a late-match clothesline (to a massive pop, of course) makes the most sense.
