10 WrestleMania 38 Card Predictions After Royal Rumble 2022

9. Women's Tag Team Titles: Carmella & Queen Zelina (c) vs. The Bella Twins

Two arguments that could be used to counter this prediction:-

1. WWE doesn't care about the Women's Tag Team Championships. At all. Why would they feature them in a WrestleMania showcase with two Hall of Famers?

2. Nikki Bella has previously commented that her injured neck would keep her "on the retired bench for life." Yes, she worked the Rumble, but could she get through a match like this, which would require her to be a bigger focus - and potentially take bumps?

Valid points, both of them, but recent reporting points towards Nikki and Brie sticking around in WWE through 'Mania. If they wrestle, their inactivity over the past few years (the Rumble was the Bella Twins' first match since October 2018) means it'll likely be in a tag match.

The Women's Tag Team Titles don't have a lot of prestige to lose, so flipping to the Bellas for a short, nostalgia-popping run at the biggest show of the year could hit the mark, even if WWE is unlikely to use the run to elevate whoever eventually beats them. History tells us such hopes are fanciful.
