Wrestlemania 28 predictions: Kelly Kelly, Maria Menounos vs. Beth Phoenix, Eve

Alfonso: Team Menounos
This one will be kept short, and likely slotted before the night’s main event, to give the crowd a chance to catch its breath before Rock-Cena. WWE will be looking to get some highlights on Extra come Monday, so it would make sense that they’d have Menounos score the pinfall and celebrate in the ring after the match.
Anthony: Team Menounos
The news came out this week that Menounos broke two ribs on “Dancing with the Stars.” She has a track record of being a tough little cookie, but I don’t know if she’s tough enough to step into the ring with that injury. The match could get changed to a one-on-one between Kelly Kelly and Phoenix for the Women’s Title. Either way, the WWE wants to get on “Extra” again and the only way they accomplish that is by having Menounos on the winning team. Also, if this is a tag team match, I could see Ryder costing Eve the victory.

Kelly & Maria will go over for the happy video clip.
Josh: Team Menounos
Wow, WWE's found yet another way to marginalize its Divas division. Menounos goes straight from "Dancing With the Stars" to a WrestleMania match. Congratulations, Jay Leno and David Arquette: You no longer have to share the cellar on bad gimmick celebrity bouts.
