Everything you need to know ahead of the WWE WrestleMania Night 2 pay-per-view this Sunday.

As entertaining as RK-Bro is as an act, you get the sense that WWE is getting antsy to break them up for a less entertaining feud. I'll side with Edge, hesitantly, but am rather confident that this will be Match of the Night. Pick: Edge wins -- Mahjouri Reigns can get his win over Lesnar down the road in the inevitable fourth Lesnar vs. Alpha Academy should have been afforded the opportunity for a longer Raw Tag Team title run, but Orton and Riddle were quick to reclaim their crowns. McAfee is so beloved by fans that it's hard to see him losing to Austin Theory, who has plenty of time in his career to recover from a loss to a pro-athlete-turned-commentator. He won't have that benefit against fellow heavyweight Lashley. "The Almighty" is coming off a recent WWE championship reign, has a winning MMA record and muscles for days. Pick: Sasha Banks & Naomi win the titles -- Shakiel Mahjouri Lashley is returning from several months on the sidelines and his return should result in a win. If there's any out here, it may be in finding the cheapest way for Lashley to lose, which could come down to MVP turning on him and moving on to manage Omos. That would benefit the monster by giving him someone who can work the mic and extend the program with Lashley for a while. Zayn is exactly the right kind of heel to lose this match and have that loss be a benefit in building him up. You would hope that WWE would not go so far as to have a quality superstar like Zayn take the L for "Jackass" star Johnny Knoxville. The no-disqualification stipulation should present opportunities for run-ins and fun stunts from other stars from the film franchise. It's undeniably the right move to have Knoxville get the win.

Final Picks for Reigns vs. Lesnar and WWE WrestleMania 38 Night 2 ... (Bleacher Report)

Find out now with these final predictions for night two of The Showcase of the Immortals. Raw Tag Team Championship Match: RK-Bro vs. Street Profits ...

Styles will get his revenge eventually, but Edge needs this more than the perpetually over Phenomenal One.Winner Takes All for the WWE and Universal ChampionshipsThe biggest match of the year, on the grandest stage of them all, will see WWE champion Brock Lesnar square off with Universal champion Roman Reigns in a Winner Takes All match.This is a match with the grandeur, stakes and expectations of the WrestleMania main event. Reigns has grown and evolved and arrives at the show as the biggest star in WWE. The Tribal Chief has reigned for well over 500 days and has shown no signs of slowing down.Lesnar will get revenge for months of torment in a physical match that will probably see both him and his opponent take some big bumps. Built since Lesnar returned to WWE last August, the feud has had twists and turns but Sunday in Dallas will write its finale in what most hope is a vast improvement over the last time these two took center stage at The Showcase of the Immortals. In that match, Lesnar dismantled Reigns in the most one-sided marquee bout in event history. The winner of the match is rarely left standing tall on the final show before the premium live event.Ripley and Morgan represent the greatest opposition to that outcome, but Banks is a big enough star that one year after a historic main event loss to Bianca Belair, WWE will see to it that The Boss gets her first WrestleMania victory in seven tries.Bobby Lashley returned at the last possible moment, ensuring his place on the WrestleMania card. Edge turned heel, introduced a new persona, and Styles returned from the beating he suffered at the hands of the Rated R Superstar in such short order that there has been no time whatsoever for any of it to sink it.WrestleMania feels very much like the conclusion of a first chapter in a feud still in its infancy.Which begs the question: Does Styles win to avenge the beating, or does Edge pick up the victory to propel things forward?It is entirely too early for Edge, fresh off said heel turn and still fleshing out what this new persona will look like, to lose. Sunday night will see more of the same as Queen Zelina and Carmella defend their titles against the teams of Naomi and Sasha Banks, Natalya and Shayna Baszler, and Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan.Despite the negativity surrounding the creative of the championship, the talent in the match and the in-ring action we have seen out of them in the lead to WrestleMania 38 suggests we should be in for a damn good Fatal 4-Way as long as the match gets time and the competitors do not have to rush through the action. Lesnar and WWE WrestleMania 38 Night 2 Match CardOn the heels of an explosive WrestleMania Saturday, WWE will look to replicate the excitement and energy of night one with a blockbuster Sunday card headlined by Brock Lesnar vs. His opponent Sunday is the dominant, destructive Omos, who has left a path of destruction in his wake since breaking up with tag team partner AJ Styles earlier this year.There is not much of a backstory to speak of outside of The All-Mighty accepting the massive heel's challenge for a WrestleMania match. Of course, the lack of disqualifications allows Zayn to use any underhanded or nefarious means possible to make sure he is not embarrassed or humiliated by the Hollywood celebrity once again.A chaotic match full of showmanship and creative booking to mask Knoxville's lack of in-ring experience should see the fan-favorite score a win, but not without an extraordinary performance from Zayn, who is one of WWE's MVPs over the last year.To say WWE's treatment of its Women's Tag Team Championship has been underwhelming would be an understatement of epic proportions. Sami ZaynOne of the more intriguing matches on Sunday's card is the Anything Goes Match pitting Jackass' Johnny Knoxville against former intercontinental champion Sami Zayn.The lack of rules or order essentially gives Knoxville the opportunity to throw caution to the wind, as usual, and do anything he can to defeat Zayn. Might we see some of his Jackass pals get involved in hopes of securing the win for Knoxville? Will there be some major stunt that fans and mainstream media are talking about the next day? Their match should be full of raw athleticism, strong storytelling and some crowd-pleasing spots from McAfee.Theory got the last laugh Friday on SmackDown, taunting his rival and knowing damn well the former Indianapolis Colt could not do anything about it until Sunday. Given WWE's booking tendencies, expect McAfee to shut Theory up and score the biggest win of his wrestling career on the grandest stage the industry has to offer.It will be a step back for Theory, who has been heated up of late and appears poised to challenge Finn Balor for the United States Championship, but given his pairing with Mr. McMahon, he should be able to recover fairly quickly and easily.Anything Goes Match: Johnny Knoxville vs. Orton is a cerebral performer and should help to direct traffic, while Gable, Otis, Riddle, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are all more than capable of holding their own with the future Hall of Famer.Expect a hot crowd, three teams busting ass to create magic, and successful title retention from RK-Bro as they continue a reign that was never meant to last this long.Pat McAfee transcends WWE. He is a mainstream media star with an enormous following, and his huge personality has helped make him the color commentator he has developed into over the last two years.

Kurt Angle Shares His Pick For “Greatest WWE Superstar Of All Time” (Wrestling Inc.)

Kurt Angle on his WWE Hall of Fame induction in 2017 and explains why he believes John Cena is the greatest WWE superstar of all time.

It was a great meeting and it was like we never had that fight, it was like none of that ever occurred, business was as usual.” Vince just wanted the fans to know I was the new GM and he wanted to get the fans excited about it. The WWE Hall of Famer spoke about what his reaction was to being told about that two days before, and why he would’ve liked a heads up given the situation surrounding Mick Foley from weeks prior. “Vince made it very simple for me [that night on RAW], he basically introduced me, I came out and said, ‘Kurt Angle is back, oh it’s true, it’s damn true,’ that was all I said. John was great because what I love about John is, I consider him the greatest WWE superstar of all time. Kurt Angle spoke about John Cena inducting him into the HOF and reveals why he believes Cena is the greatest WWE superstar of all time.

I wanted to move on, maybe to a different piece of leather.” I didn’t want to be a 15 time TNT champion and hold the belt hostage. I was 19 when I went to OVW. Now it’s just a different story. “I can tell you the one of the most special parts of it was that Bruce and the chairman himself, Vince flew down to meet me. So they bet on me, so I’m gonna bet on WWE, and I’m really looking forward to it.” There’s unfinished business for my family, and there’s something we never got, and I want to be the one to get it.” It was just more of, I was the executive vice president of AEW. I was one of the founding fathers, and I wanted to make sure that leaving it was with the utmost respect, and I hope no one’s lazy enough here, which no one is, to make AEW jokes or bingo hall references and any of that because it’s nothing against them. I’m so proud of Matt and Nick, and Kenny, and I really want to see Tony move forward and no bad blood in the best of ways and all the respect in the world. It was just ‘Hey, you went out and did it.’ I remember saying, ‘I have to be me. Had that meeting not led to anything, had it just been a conversation about wrestling and sports entertainment would have been great closure on the last loop. I never got to see the crowd. “I am so proud of AEW. God, I am so proud.

10 Wrestlers WWE Could Push Following WrestleMania 38 - Inside ... (Inside The Ropes)

WWE's booking following WrestleMania often sees some new faces pushed, but who could Vince McMahon favour following WrestleMania 38?

Elias has proven to be a valuable asset to WWE over the years, with his guitar-playing abilities elevating his career to a whole new level. With Scott and Rick Steiner being inducted into the Hall of Fame on Friday evening, there couldn’t be a better time for Breakker to jump ship to continue the family legacy. After being one of the top stars throughout the dreary ThunderDome era, Bayley sadly suffered a torn ACL while training for the Money in the Bank pay-per-view. Whether or not he survives and flourishes on the main roster is a different story. The story of Elias has been intriguing to live through over the past few months. Bron Breakker likely won’t be the only NXT Superstar departing the former black-and-gold brand following WrestleMania 38, as LA Knight will also seemingly be joining the ex-NXT Champion on either the Raw or SmackDown roster. So long as they change his name from T-BAR, there are endless possibilities for the former Donovan Dijak to succeed on the main roster. Post-WrestleMania, WWE must rethink their strategy with Xia Li. She could be a credible asset to the blue brand’s women’s division if given the opportunity to prove it; the aftermath of ‘Mania is the best possible time to begin this journey. Nonetheless, there is indeed hype for his reemergence on to the WWE roster, with his last match – excluding various Main Event outings, where he remains undefeated – airing on the 27 September Raw broadcast. The 26-year-old could be in the prime of his career if he was actually utilised by Vince McMahon’s sports entertainment giant. A months-long storyline culminating in him capturing the Intercontinental Championship in his home country could go down tremendously well. Veer Mahaan has been coming to WWE since the 25 October edition of Raw. By the time he finally arrives on the post-‘Mania Raw, it will have been 161 days since his first vignette aired.
