It might still be early, but I’m already feelin’ the Royal Rumble season! It is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing and anticipated events in WWE history, as the winner on the Mens Rumble potentially becomes the chosen one (literally) to finally dethrone Roman Reigns as Undisputed Champion at WrestleMania 39. Also, it’s a toss-up between Becky Lynch or Rhea Ripley since these two have the most momentum right now. Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey is already a lock, so Becky might not even need to win the Women’s Rumble, as Rhea will certainly benefit more from it. Charlotte is also in the play, as she’s almost certain to come back at the event and possibly score another Rumble win. Sasha Banks might be a long shot right now, but with HHH at the helm, you can never be so sure. A lot can happen between now and up to January 28, 2023.
Speaking of the Road to WrestleMania 39, there’s talk about the Tribal Chief defending both his titles in separate WrestleMania nights, with either the WWE Championship or Universal Championship in night 1, and the other in night 2. I dig it. Here’s why.
Rumors are circling around that The Rock is being considered to win next year’s Royal Rumble. You can have him go after the Universal Championship, since he hasn’t won that one yet. That’s a money-making move in WWE’s part, since it’ll definitely cross mainstream media and bring more eyes to the product. However, as far as building a new megastar is concerned, I’d rather go with Cody Rhodes or Sami Zayn. For Cody, the story writes itself, not to mention he also has a little bit of mainstream/Hollywood appeal. Sami Zayn—we all know how this can play out. Him and Kevin Owens can go after the Usos for the Tag Team Championships and there’s nothing wrong with that..but I prefer that Sami goes ‘Solo’ on this one and become the ultimate babyface for WWE, 2023 and beyond. Have either Sami or Cody challenge for Roman’s WWE Championship. Another scenario is for Roman to retain against The Rock, then the next night (post-WrestleMania RAW), have Sami somehow get a title shot against Roman and he beats him for the Universal Championship. Imagine how hot the crowd will be for that one!
Next year’s Royal Rumble is shaping up to be a treat to WWE Universe. John Cena—believed to be announcing his Royal Rumble entry at the end of the year, Kevin Owens and even Solo Sikoa could potentially win the event, long shot as it may be for them. As for my personal picks, I’ll go with those who have built quite a momentum this year: Rhea Ripley and Sami Zayn. Becky Lynch and Cody Rhodes are already main event players, they’ll find a way to become champions somehow.
It’s time for HHH to prove that he can create future WWE icons, and next year’s Rumble is the perfect place for him to do it.
Prolly the biggest swerve of the year, Edge was kicked out of the very group that he started. Finn Balor joining, and perhaps leading the Judgment Day stable is interesting. I’ll reserve judgment (pun intended) until The Prinxe can prove that he’s a capable leader and most especially, a commanding voice for the group. Finn taking the team to the next level will be the very basis of success of this diabolical move. His Demon persona fits the attitude of Judgment Day, so that helps.
I’m both excited and nervous as far as the stable’s future goes. The twist was quite sudden, transitioning Edge back to a face role (c/o Cody Rhodes injury). I hope they don’t go down the Retribution route. Potential for greatness is still there for Judgment Day, despite the quick leadership change.
Asuka, Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair have been the prominent focus of the women’s division of their respective brands. ‘Newcomer’ Rhea Ripley is looking to be a dominant WrestleMania challenger coming in. I love that neither one of these matches won’t be in a triple threat match. It gives more weight to see the winners of these championship bouts. My pick for RAW, as much as I admire Asuka, has to be Rhea Ripley. For SmackDown, no doubt about it, this year’s women’s Royal Rumble winner Bianca Belair. WrestleMania 37 is ushering a new era for these young female athletes.
I’ll be posting the YouTube design video for this wallpaper later this week. Until then, hope you get to enjoy this WrestleMania 37 wallpaper!
Hi everyone, it has been one hell of a month. The whole world is suffering from the COVID-19 coronavirus, and to be honest, I haven’t been able to get any motivation to create wrestling wallpapers. WrestleMania season and no one has been able to enjoy it, not even the performers themselves. With last minute booking chaanges, WWE Superstars being unable to compete at the last minute, WrestleMania 36 being TAPED (who would’ve thought that’s possible, right?), it has been nothing but a disaster, in whatever standpoint you’d like to put your shoes on.
Nonetheless, I still went on and made this WrestleMania 36 wallpaper. There are a lot of superstars/matchups that weren’t included here either because there’s little to zero storyline investment in them or they were filler matches. No Roman Reigns here of course, if you don’t want to be spoiled, tune in this coming Friday and you’ll know why. Goldberg gets a pass, simply because he’s defending the Universal Championship. While SmackDown became WWE’s flagship show, RAW has been consistently putting good (if not great) shows almost every week the latter part of Q1 and we can all thank Paul Heyman for that. Storylines have more depth, and most of them took months of development (ex. Owens vs. Rollins). So, most of the matchups featured here are from the RAW side of things.
Keep safe everyone, and stay home. Watch more wrestling shows, if you must.
