Predicting The Quality Of All 13 WWE WrestleMania 39 Matches

12. Seth 'Freakin' Rollins Vs. Logan Paul

This will be only Logan Paul's fifth match, one of which was a cameo Royal Rumble stint, and if it isn't great, people will be disappointed. He isn't just the best celebrity wrestler; he's the best wrestling rookie ever.

There's loads they can do in this one that isn't merely an unfathomably good athletic spectacle.

Logan Paul is a great piss-boiling heel who can measure and raise the temperature of the audience to perfection already. He is outstanding at inserting a brief pause before he does something to register the maximum dramatic effect (see the way in which he made the Three Amigos feel like a "No, he won't!" transgression at WrestleMania 38).

He can lead a singalong of Seth's popular theme. He can mimic that wince-inducing Seth cackle as Rollins himself winces in pain. He can also mimic a signature Rollins athletic flourish to put over the idea that he can do in under a year what Rollins only managed after nearly 20 - before, of course, taking the match-ending curb stomp on that smarmy face.

This is going to be fantastic.

Predicted Star Rating: ★★★★¼
