I was updating the card just now and noticed that the Raw tag match is a ladder match. I thought we weren't getting a random thrown together ladder match for once.
I hope this show is at least better than last year.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and make a wild prediction for WrestleMania.
Okay, remember how the night after Fastlane Kevin Owens said something about how he's been promised his Universal Championship rematch any time he likes? Well, I'm probably giving the Raw writers too much credit with this one, but what if that wasn't a throw away line but instead was a hint of things to come? What if after Goldberg vs. Lesnar, Owens comes to the ring and cashes in his rematch on the winner? If that happened, we'd have champion who wasn't a part timer, and the first WrestleMania of the new brand split will end with a current star celebrating a title win.
I fully expect this not to happen and will instead end with Goldberg or Lesnar, which ever one didn't die basically, holding the title.

I still have no idea what the main event is. Everyone seems to think it'll be Goldberg/Lesnar but I really don't think it will be. The potential for a trainwreck is too damn high in that match.
That match, the WWE title match and Reigns/Undertaker are the only realistic choices though.
I actually think Wyatt/Orton will main event so that the closing image can be Wyatt celebrating in the dark with all the lighters flashing in the audience. Although it's kinda crazy that a match which main evented a crappy SD only PPV a few months ago and was boring as hell could now main event WM.

They done said for weeks Goldberg and Lesnar are closing the show. Hell fucking no are Orton and Wyatt ending the night. They'll be one of the first 3 matches on the card. |

So we're all in agreement that the fatal four-way was made an elimination match so they can eliminate Nia early on and make it a triple threat after all, right? Yep, she's getting Big Show'd |

The SmackDown Women's Championship match is a Six-Pack Challenge now, but it's taking place on the pre-show. 🙄

Honestly it's pretty ridiculous. The show is 4 hours long. I'm sure Pitbull isn't being shoved onto the pre-show, and all the singles matches don't need to go for 30 freaking minutes. I could see if it was just a multi-woman match with all the unused girls again like last year, but it's for a championship. It should be on WrestleMania, not Heat.
The cruiserweight championship is on the pre-show too, which I wouldn't care, except does that mean the other cruiserweights wont be on the show? Because I thought they'd put them in a tag match on the pre-show, but I doubt they'd have 2 cruiserweight matches before the show even starts. And none of them are on the list for the jobber battle royal either. So wtf?

Still treating Smackdown like the B show. The Usos can't even get a pre-show title defense? Owens vs. Jericho should be really good, the Raw women's match better deliver, and the mixed tag match better deliver after all the build up. Everything else is not remotely interesting. I'm far more interested in the prospect of New Day eating ice cream bars than everything else on the main show.
Also, why the hell is Triple H facing Rollins instead of Samoa Joe? Burke? I'm going to need at least 20 signatures of people saying they prefer the former.
I might be here for Taker vs. Roman if they have Roman completely destroy him and then shit on all the fans. If he comes out of Mania as an arrogant asshole heel(on purpose), I'll be content.

If Roman beats, maybe even retires, Undertaker then I wonder who the poor people will be who have to go on immediately after that match when the crowd is pissed. My money was on the SD Women's title match but it obviously can't be that now. Also, why the hell is Triple H facing Rollins instead of Samoa Joe? Yeah, I was really surprised Joe didn't make the card, even against Sami Zayn. But, I'm sure he'll interfere during Triple H vs. Rollins to make sure Triple H gets another WrestleMania win under his belt lol smh. I’m expecting Finn Balor to return and even the odds when HHH and Samoe Joe are beating down Rollins. Even though it would make absolutely no sense since a) everybody knows Balor is teachers/HHH’s pet irl and b) Rollins was the one who injured Balor and laughed about it. |

Speaking of Balor, pretty fucked up he's not on the card either when he's been wrestling at house shows for weeks.
This Mania is the opposite of last year. Last year everyone was injured but they were still able to pull out a decent show. This year they have so many people and aren't giving them any shine. Seriously, who booked this show? This has the potential to be worse than Mania 27.
