Drew McIntyre v Jacob Fatu (Unsanctioned Match)
Everything that these two men have touched has turned to gold. McIntyre and Fatu’s issues go back a few months, and in that time, the intensity has increased. Each week, these men have had great pull-apart brawls and promos that work to each man’s strengths. This feels real, and the action has gained steam over the past few weeks.
With what McIntyre and Fatu have already done to one another, we can assume that this Unsanctioned Match is going to ramp everything up to eleven. This is going to be an incredibly violent match that may get uncomfortable near the end.
It’s assumed that Drew McIntyre will be taking some time off soon to start filming the Highlander movie. A huge opportunity for the Scot, but also a piece of information that telegraphs the ending to this match. A violent car crash it will be, but one that will probably end with Jacob Fatu putting Drew McIntyre out of action for a while, hopefully with an insane WrestleMania-worthy spot.
Winner: Jacob Fatu
Gunther v Seth Rollins
Injuries threw a massive wrench into what this WrestleMania match should have been, but the wrestling world should still feel lucky. Gunther is a great option for Seth Rollins, as it presents a fresh matchup. It has also been a feud that has been handled very well in the few weeks that they have been given.
There isn’t any huge drama between these two men, only a burning desire to prove that they are the best wrestlers on the planet. It’s a fantastic way to add stakes to a match that could be lacking in them.
We all know this has the potential to be among the top ten WrestleMania matches when all is said and done. Seth Rollins and Gunther are premier wrestlers and pride themselves on stopping the show.
It will be great to see what kind of magic they can create when they step into the ring. It’s hard to imagine that either man is going to lose, but one has to, and considering there is a Bron Breakker return on the horizon, it makes sense to have Gunther go over, with some shady practices going on.
Winner: Gunther
