Predicting WWE WrestleMania 39 Cards 1 Year Out
5. Sami Zayn And The Miz Vs Jason Biggs and Seann William Scott
There will always be a pocket of fans who complain, but celebrity matches have been a part of WrestleMania from the beginning. Not only that, but by now it should be pretty clear that celebrity matches get more attention and care than much of the rest of the card. If you get picked to go up against a celebrity on the “The Grandest Stage Of Them All,” clearly you’re in Vince’s good books and you’re in for a good night.
The Miz and Sami Zayn have both proven that they can be trusted to guide a celebrity through a match on the big stage. The Miz is more than willing to show ass when the occasion calls for it and as for Zayn, the occasion calls for it on a weekly basis. But who would they face in a celebrity scrap?
Somewhere between an educated guess and a wild punt, let’s go with two of the guys from American Pie. With WWE finally running out of Attitude Era stars to roll out for the big occasions, Johnny Knoxville fulfilled a similar function this year, appealing to the same teenage boys who loved the Attitude Era’s wild action and “puppies”. Plus, the new Jackass movie is currently milking the nostalgia glands of that same ageing demographic.
So what if American Pie takes another swing at the ageing millennial market? Biggs and Scott might not give their body to the cause like the Jackass crew, but they could probably manage a short smoke and mirrors heavy plunder brawl. If so, expect The Miz and Zayn to end up with a face full of (American) pie.
