Ryback And Raj Giri Give Their WrestleMania 36 Predictions

It is finally upon us.

WrestleMania 36 will air for the first time as a two night event Saturday and Sunday. The most interesting WrestleMania of our lifetime will imminent safely from WWE's Performance Center, this dystopian version of the show turning the incubator of wrestling's future into WWE's very own Thunderdome. It's fitting that Biker Taker makes his return at this WrestleMania.

While the show risks feeling lifeless, like so many of the recent empty arena shows have, it also has the chance to do something special. WrestleMania being taped beforehand gives WWE the creative and technological opportunity to put on a show unlike any they've put on before. Hopefully they take this opportunity and run with it.

The closest the wrestling world can get to Immorton Joe, Ryback, and Wrestling Inc.'s own Raj Giri gave their predictions for the upcoming show, which you can watch in the video above.
