10 WrestleMania 38 Card Predictions After Royal Rumble 2022

7. Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins

Echoes of Kevin Owens' fantastic feud with Chris Jericho are all over this Seth Rollins program, which looks set to play out in a similar fashion.

While there are likely months of content left in keeping the duo together, particularly if Rollins is to remain in orbit of world championships, other predictions later in this article mean we kind of have to have the Goober Powers explode at WrestleMania. That's fine: another big break-up should highlight Raw later in the year anyway.

Owens and Rollins have tremendous on-screen chemistry. They were great rivals in the build to WrestleMania 36, when they highlighted the drab Performance Center two-nighter, and it'd be rewarding to see WWE run it back in front of a live crowd. That they have winked at tension ever so slightly suggests the duo are heading in that direction sooner rather than later, too.

Repeating an angle as magical as the Festival of Friendship shouldn't be the goal here. It's unattainable. Instead, a simple, well-plotted breakup coloured by each man's elaborate character work should be an appetiser for a delicious 'Mania entree.
