Predicting WWE's WrestleMania XL Cards 1 Year Out

2. Cody Rhodes Vs. GUNTHER

Watch and see as this wonderful fantasy clash is totally ruined by Vince McMahon decreeing that GUNTHER should be renamed 'Gunner Baumgartner' and immediately relegated to NXT where he'll live out his days wondering what could've been. Seriously though, this match needs to happen eventually.

Cody Rhodes and GUNTHER showed what's possible back at January's Royal Rumble, and it'd be a massive miss for WWE if they didn't book them in a proper one-on-one bout. By 'Mania XL, GUNTHER could've (in theory) worked a program vs. Brock Lesnar and become the longest-reigning Intercontinental titleholder in company history.

That'd set him up nicely for a crack at new WWE Champ Cody.

There's the other side of this coin; Rhodes would've beaten Roman Reigns for the WWE Championship by the time everyone marches on to Philly, meaning his collision vs. GUNTHER could be for the promotion's top prize.

It could even come at the end of a three-match series if that suits better.
