Chapter 07— Page 28-Holy Shit
Can’t get around it. A ‘holy shit’ moment, defined by Sabrina doing an Ultrasplash from the top turnbuckle through a table and Brenda. Sabrina, Brenda and the table will never be the same again. But what do you guys think? Appropriate? Too far? This is new territory for Ultragirl.
HANGOUT!
Wrestlemania is this Sunday and I can’t think of a better day to have the Rival Angels Hangout! Be there, Sunday, April 8th at 11am CT. We’ll talk about Wrestlemania predictions, Rival Angels predictions and everything else you want to talk about while I’m working on the latest commission.
Wrestlemania Predictions
WWE Universal Title Match
Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar
Roman wins as Brock takes off for the next year or so, maybe a stint in the UFC.
WWE Title Match
Shinsuke Nakamura vs. AJ Styles
I’d like to think AJ wins this one.
Triple Threat for the WWE Intercontinental Title
Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor vs. The Miz
The Mix is going to take some time to be a new daddy, so its either Seth or Finn. I think Finn is the overwhelmingly smart choice, but because I don’t like Seth, I think Set is going to win.
Fatal 4 Way for the WWE United States Title
Rusev vs. Bobby Roode vs. Jinder Mahal vs. Randy Orton
I like everyone here except Orton. I’d like to see Bobby or Rusev get this one.
RAW Women’s Title Match
Nia Jax vs. Alexa Bliss
It’s hard to imagine that Alexa makes it out of ‘mania with the belt, especially in light of Asuka and Nia rumors swirling post-‘maina.
SmackDown Women’s Title Match
Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair
No matter who loses, I win! I’m not sure that Charlotte warrants taking Asuka’s winning streak out, and I hate to think what that means going forward, but if anyone with the backstage stroke to do it, it’s Charlotte. I’m not a fan of either, so I kind of don’t care.
RAW Tag Team Title Match
Braun Strowman and a partner vs. Cesaro and Sheamus
The real question is who will Strawman’s partner be. Big Cass? Big Show? Rey Mysterio?
Triple Threat for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles
The New Day vs. The Bludgeon Brothers vs. The Usos
I think the Bludgeon Brothers should win this one, and kick off a big program for the Smackdown Tag Titles.
Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle vs. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon
On paper this should be awesome. I love Ronda, I really do, but her poker face is horrible. She looks like she’s going to crack and start giggling. If they keep her in-ring time to a minimum, she should be fine. I’m sure Steph will get up on her, but then fall to the armbar.
Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn
Zayn and Owens will get their jobs back if they win, they will remain fired if they lose.
Shane does something stupid and Sami and Kevin get their jobs back. I am, of course, in favor of this. Two of the best workers period, its just a shame that KO and Sami are regulated to -this.-
Kickoff Pre-show: Finals of the WWE Cruiserweight Title Tournament
Cedric Alexander vs. Mustafa Ali
Well booked program! They’ve been grooming Cedric for a long time, so I think they’ll put the belt on him.
Kickoff Pre-show: Inaugural WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal
Mickie James, Bayley, Naomi, Becky Lynch, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan, Ruby Riott, Lana, Natalya, Sasha Banks, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, TBA
I get it, there’s only so much time, but once again, the Women’s division is regulated to a multi-person match, this time a Battle Royal. I’d be surprised if this gets 8 minutes. But, maybe Becky wins this one? That would be cool.
Kickoff Pre-show: Fifth Annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Scott Dawson, Dash Wilder, Baron Corbin, Tye Dillinger, Mojo Rawley, Matt Hardy, Dolph Ziggler, Tyler Breeze, Fandango, TBA
Ugh.

Yikes!!!! I looked!!!!
Yes, Brina, good, good. Let the hate flow through you.
Something tells me that Sabrina may have a talk or two after this match with Sun and the others and especially the boss.
This’ll truly hurt her good girl heroine image. That is if Brenda survive this attack.
Sabrina once again has let her emotional state get the best of her. That always goes her into major trouble down the line. So this may cost her.
As for Brenda…well let’s hope she survives this match alive and regaining her health.
Well, Brenda hasn’t exactly been acting like a face… don’t people cheer when the good girl does crazy shit to smash the relatively bad girl?
Hard to believe that my icon in the league has turned out to be such a big turd.
Nailed it.
divine feces indeed. of course you better hope charlotte doesn’t see this page before mania or she’ll be telling herself “hey that looks like a good idea…”
mania picks (in the same order you have)
1) Roman- brock goes back to ufc. sets up feud with paige whether it’s his yard or her house.
2) Nakamura- aj has had the belt for a while and could be a reward to shinsuke after having to job to Jinder
3) i think seth actually has no chance here, he’ll be moving on to roman being the last person to pin him pre-title. i want to go with Finn because it’d be a good way to give him something to do for a while, but i can;t count out papa power Miz to keep it to break the record. will go with Finn in the end since miz is technically the heel so unless your name is nikki bella the heel has to fall short of his goal. face miz will break the record later.
4) Rusev- he beat orton two weeks ago, jinder last week so he beats roode to win the title on Rusev day.
5) Nia- alexa’s time with the belt is over, plus i think a face turn will be coming for alexa by summerslam.
6) a bit confusing since asuka winning puts both women’s titles on raw (barring a shakeup right after mania), carmella cash-in teases have increased so she will be doing something no doubt. wwe rumored to want undefeated asuka vs undefeated rousey next year at mania. asuka wins by DQ when carmella interferes i guess? only scenario that covers everything.
7) Braun wins- rumor claim new bray wyatt character will be the partner now. still say he sticks with alexa so team Little Big gets the gold. 🙂
8) Bludegon brothers shoudl win. new day and uso has had a strangehold on the belts for what seems like forever.
9) Rousey wins
10) KO/Sami win because they’re not going to keep them fired- don;t see them going back to raw either since they ‘escaped” from there in the first place. rumors of a shane heel turn but i’m going with “stupid shane” as well. DB about to win the match, shane tags himself in so HE can get his revenge by getting the pin to officially end KO/Sami’s dreams. messes it up and gets pinned.
11) cedric i guess- i don;t pay much attention to the cruiserweight stuff.
12) sasha/bayley will eliminate each other or start brawling to be eliminated by someone else. i would love to see becky win but think it will be naomi/carmella because the wwe hates giving becky good things (other than the first smackdown title but really there wasn’t anyone else ready at that point except nattie)
13) someone not announced for the match wins. i’ll say returning Big Cass.
Mania predictions:
1) Reigns, because OBVIOUSLY
2) AJ, probably. This one’s kind of a toss up though.
3) Rollins
4) RUSEV! How could they NOT, it’s Rusev Day!
5) Jax
6) Asuka
7) Strowman, and I REALLY hope he does it solo.
8) New Day, though I agree that the Bludgeon Brothers SHOULD win.
9) Angle/Rousey, again because OBVIOUSLY
10) KO and Sami, via a heel turn by Shane-O-Mac
11) Cedric
12) Don’t care
13) Don’t care.
The REAL question is: JJ or Namajunas? My heart says Thug Rose, my head says JJ takes the belt back.
Also, RIP that poor table…
That table wanted to be put out of its misery after holding up Brenda’s weight.
Too far.
No it looks like she landed it dead on.
Sadly, on #6 I can see Charlotte retaining but ONLY due to interference so Asuka’s streak would have an asterisk.
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this, but its incredibly hard to visualize the Ultrasplash, since its a backflip AND a spin. Your art makes it easy to follow.
That’s what happens when someone tries to stem the tide of LOL BRINA WINS.
1) Roman
2) Nakamura
3) Rollins
4) Roode
5) Nia
6) Carmella pulls a Rollins, cashes in, and wins the title. Protects Charlotte, should get genuine heat for ending the streak in a screwy way, and leaves Asuka putting Charlotte over until next year. (Which I absolutely think will happen)
7) Braun’s partner will be Elias. They will win and be an odd couple tag team
8) Bludgers
9) Ronda and Kurt. Kurt will wrestle like 90% of the match
10) It’s not so bad for KO and Sami. They get to be Bryan’s first match back, and are in one of the few truly featured matches on the show. Crowd will be incredibly hot for Bryan. KO and Sami win.
11) Cedric.
12) Becky. She’s been a real workhorse of the division, is still very popular, and probably won’t be near the title picture any time soon.
13) A returning Samoa Joe
My WrestleMania predictions
1) Reigns. Its pretty obvious
2) Shinsuke (see 3)
3) Rollins. I think Finn will actually make the jump to Smackdown and get a bit more respect there, and there we can have awesome matches between Finn, Shinsuke, and AJ
4) I really hope Rusev wins this… even if it means I’m going to want to take a baseball bat to Corey Graves’ teeth more than normal. Seriously, he’s annoying as fuck
5) Nia, with how much Nia Jax has done to promote body positivity, to put her in a Piggy James 2.0 story line and have her eat the pin is just disgusting.
6) I can’t call this for the life of me.
7) I say Braun wins, hopefully with a legend return like Big Show or Rey…. or my personal favorite, a Lars Sullivan call-up
8) I almost want to go New Day here. Usos have literally beaten just about everyone else on the roster, The Bludgeon Brothers, while I’m liking how far Rowan has come and have always enjoyed Harper, I think WrestleMania might be too big a stage for them to get the big nod.
9) Ronda and Kurt. Sad part is, while I’m liking Ronda’s in ring work, we saw how much it approved from when she did that spot with Dana Brooke as opposed to a little later, when she was judo throwing Mandi Rose…. trouble is, Stephanie’s in ring work is, to borrow an industry term, “The drizzling shits.” She would have been better off going against Charlotte or Sasha or someone who could lead her through a good match.
10) It would be stupid to hang a loss on Daniel Bryan his first match back, and seriously the whole “Evil McMahon” role has been beaten to death, dug up, then beaten some more. I’m calling Shane and Daniel win and Sami and Kevin go over to Raw to fill the gap Lesnar left because now that the belt’s going to be defended on a more regular basis (FINALLY!!!), they’re going to need more challengers, and they’ve got the skills and charisma to have good matches with Reigns.
11) Gotta go with Cedric. They’ve been wanting to hang the belt on him since before the ‘Zo debacle
12) I desperately hope Becky. She’s my girl
13) Elias
In the words of the immortal Jim Ross:
HE’S DEAD! HE’S DEAD! AS GOD AS MY WITNESS THAT MAN HAS BEEN BROKEN IN HALF!
Except you know, for girls.
