WWE WrestleMania 30: Predictions For Every Match

John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppiTzViQZrs John Cena is in the fight of his life, and you have to admit, he's got guts. This is sure to be one of the most compelling matches we'll see at WrestleMania, as Wyatt's entrance alone should be spectacularly visceral and unnerving. There's a ton of psychology going into this feud, that has only just begun. Cena is in a different role here, playing mind games on this week's Raw by dressing up in coveralls and the creepy lamb mask. But Wyatt is the master at mind games with his penchant for dark riddles, and will be highly motivated going in to this much anticipated encounter that will likely take place third on the card. Both men are athletic, and seeing these two former college offensive linemen grinding it out will be tremendous, Jim Ross predicted on his podcast. Indeed, Cena will have his working boots on, going toe-to-toe with the patriarch of the Wyatt Family, nailing Bray with running leaping shoulder blocks and a diving leg drop bulldog. Though Wyatt will be overpowered, he's in Cena's head, and that's what will end up costing Cena the match, who will make some tactical errors in this heated battle, frustrated with the interference of Harper and Rowan at ringside. Despite the superhuman strength and termination of Cena, it just won't be enough this time around. The Wyatt Family have too much momentum. Weakened by Wyatt's unrelenting efforts, along with mental exhaustion, Cena gets nailed by Wyatt's signature Sister Abigail finisher by the 20-minute mark of this instant classic. "Catching flies, in his mouth...," Wyatt's theme song echoes as the sun sets on the Superdome. Follow the buzzards. Winner: Bray Wyatt
