18 HUGE WWE WrestleMania 36 Predictions You Need To Know

So who could it be then?

Bray Wyatt defeating John Cena on Night One to get a shot on Night Two is optimistic fantasy booking from Fiend fans till sore from the events of Super Showdown, but is more within the realms of reality than the version of the Wyatt character that defeated Miz at Tables, Ladders & Chairs in December.

CM Punk is always a suggested name in circumstances such as these, as is wrestling discourse law. In this case, his crap craic tweet after the news broke inserted his name into the conversation before his loudest Reddit fans could have. Will he finally get that main event after all? Braun Strowman is massive, off the card, and once won a title with a child on the show, making these circumstances only the second stupidest way he could win a belt on 'The Grandest Stage'. Triple H isn't working the show. Yet.

But go back to that Bray scenario and consider another match that could proffer a potential replacement. WWE has trained audiences to understand two certainties - they will always go with a worst case scenario, and they will always back Brock Lesnar.

'The Beast' is about to be unleashed on Big Bill yet again. The world won't look the same when it escapes this current clutch, but one man will.
