When looking at the past few Wrestlemania events, it is clear that WWE likes to open the main card with a really exciting match. Last year we saw AJ Styles vs Shane McMahon open the show and some fans felt as if that was the best match of the entire night. At Wrestlemania 31 and 32, ladder matches for the Intercontinental Title kicked off the event.
So what will be the opening match this year? Let’s speculate. (Note: we mean the first match of the main card, not including kickoff show matches).
Going by the formula of the past few Wrestlemania events, the company likes to put a hot match on to start. Makes sense as a way to get the crowd into it off the bat.
If it was up to me, I would put the Smackdown Tag Team Title match on first: The Usos vs the New Day vs the Bludgeon Brothers. We know that the Usos and the New Day have chemistry from their matches over the past year and we know that they will bring it. Don’t discount the Bludgeon Brothers either as they had some good matches with the Usos back in their Wyatt Family days. Harper is also praised by many as one of the most underrated guys in the company.

With the chip that all three teams have on their shoulders, I would challenge them with being the opening match and knocking it out of the park. I have no doubts that they would crush it. If not, my second choice is the Intercontinental Title match (the Miz vs Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins) being put in the opening spot.
Which match do you think will open the main card of the show?
