So. I'm not sure how far spoilers have reached or WILL reach, but we're all on the honor system here. I'm going by the announced card thus far...while I know some of these matches won't take place as-is, I'll only update it as WWE officially announces them (except for Goldberg vs. Reigns because I think that one has gotten out to most anyway). If they don't take place as-is and WWE doesn't update the card, I'll just throw that match prediction out.
Brock Lesnar vs. Drew McIntyre, WWE Championship Match: This could've been a big crowning moment for McIntyre. Will they go ahead and do it in front of an absentee live crowd? Or will they hold it off until they can do it in front of an audience? I'll go McIntyre.
Goldberg vs. Braun Strowman, Universal Championship Match: If this were Reigns, I'd guess him. But WWE shouldn't panic and just put it on the best they could do for a leftover who didn't even have a Mania match. Goldberg wins.
Edge vs. Randy Orton, Last Man Standing Match: Edge gets the victory.
Becky Lynch vs. Shayna Baszler, Raw Women's Championship Match: Yeah, I'm going to go with Lynch retaining with a DQ victory over Baszler.
Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte Flair, NXT Women's Championship Match: Charlotte wins to add a different dimension to NXT for a while.
Bayley vs. Lacey Evans vs. Naomi vs. Sasha Banks vs. Tamina, Fatal Five-Way Elimination Match for the Smackdown Women's Championship: Do they tease a Bayley/Banks issue here by having them as the final two? Or do they not go in that direction at all? Naomi really should win this.
John Cena vs. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, Firefly Funhouse Match: I think Cena still needs to accept the challenge for the stipulation on Smackdown. I'll say Fiend wins.
Undertaker vs. A.J. Styles, Boneyard Match: Undertaker. Kinda interesting in seeing what this match will entail.
Sami Zayn vs. Daniel Bryan, Intercontinental Championship Match: Bryan wins, and hopefully if WWE doesn't put him in the main event scene over the next year, he can at least get a decent IC Title run.
Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins: Feel like this could go either way. Let's go Rollins.
John Morrison vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Jimmy Uso, Triple Threat Ladder Match for the Smackdown Tag Team Championships: Miz and Morrison retain, I guess. We've seen Usos and New Day as champs plenty recently.
The Street Profits vs. Angel Garza & Austin Theory, Raw Tag Team Championship Match: Profits win and retain.
Kabuki Warriors vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross, Women's Tag Team Championship Match: Bliss and Cross get the belts.
Aleister Black vs. Bobby Lashley: Black wins.
Elias vs. King Corbin: Rob Gronkowski somehow wins.
Otis vs. Dolph Ziggler: Otis's humiliation continues at the hands of Ziggler.

McIntyre Orton Baszler Ripley Naomi Fiend Undertaker Bryan Owens New Day Profits Bliss Cross Black Elias Ziggler I'm guessing Braun as I can't see Goldberg sticking around.

I think they might go lots of face victories to send happy messages
Braun Drew Edge Becky with a fluky roll up Sasha Ripley Fiend Taker Bryan Owens New Day Profits Alexa & Nikki Black Elias Otis & Ziggler ends up with an, ahem, 3 way of sorts with Mandy
1) Goldberg/Strowman (Universal Championship Match) - Strowman with the Powerslam to win title, Goldberg goes away until next weekday WWE Network event in a foreign land.
2) Lesnar/McIntyre (WWE Championship Match) - Tough one due to circumstances. McIntyre wins title with Claymore, but I would not be shocked if Lesnar retains.
3) Lynch/Baszler (Raw Women's Championship Match) - Baszler chokes Lynch down to win title.
4) Bayley/Banks/Evans/Tamina/Naomi (5-Way Elimination SD Women's Championship Match) - Sasha flash pins Bayley after previous elimination to make it 1-1 to win title.
5) Fiend/Cena (Firefly Fun House Match) - Going to be weird. Fiend wins, but who knows how.
6) Undertaker/Styles (Boneyard Match) - Styles and OC literally bury UT, new form of UT shows up at a later time.
7) Zayn/Bryan (Intercontinental Championship Match) - Zayn wins as Gulak turns on Bryan, joining Zayn's group.
8) Rollins/Owens - Owens wins via stunner.
9) Whatever they do for the SD Tag Team Championship Ladder Match, Morrison wins for his team (conflicting stories).
10) Street Profits/Garza and Theory (Raw Tag Team Championship Match) - Street Profits win with Frog Splash, Theory shines in this match.
11) Ripley/Charlotte (NXT Women's Championship Match) - Ripley with the Riptide to retain.
12) Elias/Corbin - Corbin with End of Days.
13) Kabuki Warriors/Bliss and Cross (Women's Tag Team Championship Match) - Bliss and Cross win titles after green mist miscalculation gets Sane.
14) Otis/Ziggler - Otis with the Caterpillar after Mandy slaps Ziggler.
15) Black/Lashley - Black with Black Mass.
16) Edge/Orton (Last Man Standing Match) - Edge spear of a staging/platform, but Orton somehow wins match.
Added: Gulak and Natalya win Kickoff matches.
I will be happy when this is over. It seems like they have been promoting Wrestlemania since January. It could be that March lasted about 6 months.
