5. The Intercontinental Title Match Will Be Disappointing
Of the eight matches announced for WrestleMania this year, there's only one that looks assuredly good - the seven-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship. A throwback to the days when the Money in the Bank match was part of the show of shows, this bout looks to combine talented workers with good, old-fashioned gimmickry for a non-stop thrill ride. Nothing is guaranteed, though. The match could get cut on time if other bouts go long, it could be ruined by silliness in the booking (or fan displeasure when Daniel Bryan loses), or things may simply not click. On any other WrestleMania, it would be okay, but on a show where the top two bouts are Roman Reigns versus Brock Lesnar and Sting versus Triple H, a lot is riding on this match. It must deliver.
