In a recent sit-down interview with Gene Guillot of NOLA.com, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross gave his predictions for who was going to win several of the undercard matches on the WrestleMania XXX card:
The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Prediction: Just on simple math, you go with The Big Show or Mark Henry. Big Show closely resembles Andre’s dimensions. He has to be considered a favorite. I would probably pick him.
The Shield vs. Kane & The New Age Outlaws
Prediction: I think the Shield is a modern-day Four Horsemen, they’re a spinoff of Evolution. I think the Shield prevails.
Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational
Prediction: I’m a big AJ fan. I really like her work. Her TV persona is very intriguing. I think she wins. I think it will be a surprisingly good match if they’re given enough time.
WWE Tag Team Championship match
Prediction: I think the Usos are still building. I think the twin sons of Rikishi will leave WrestleMania with a signature win.
As we reported here at WrestlingRumors.net on March 50, Ross is scheduled to be in New Orleans for the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony on April 5, although he’s not expected to work the WrestleMania XXX pay-per-view the following night.
Editor’s Note
I don’t have a problem with Ross’ WrestleMania XXX picks. Personally, I wouldn’t go with The Big Show to win the Andre the Giant Battle Royal, but I understand the logic behind his selection.
Later this week on WrestlingRumors.net, I’ll be posting the picks of everyone on the staff for the big event. Stay tuned.
