So that's 6 matches and you've still got to add:
Taker/Cena
Alexa/Nia
Sasha/Bayley
US title
SD tag titles
RAW tag titles
Something with Shane/Owens/Zayn
Battle royal
Possibly the Hardy/Wyatt thing if it doesn't happen before WM
WM's are so damn long these days.
I think the card looks better than last year though. Although I ended up enjoying last years show overall even with the terrible main event.

- Twitter Brutally Roasts WWE Over Honoring Fabulous Moolah In Women's Battle RoyalWWE just can't seem to get out of its own way when it comes to the checkered history of a carnival-based industry.
The Fabulous Moolah became the latest controversial subject of lionization as, during Monday's broadcast of Raw, WWE announced that the first-ever Fabulous Moolah Women's Battle Royal would take place at WrestleMania 34.
During WrestleMania weekend in 2018, Moolah will now join The Ultimate Warrior—the subject of the annual Warrior Award at the WWE Hall of Fame despite coming under fire for historically cruel and bigoted views—as questionable beacons of immortality whose legacies certainly didn't age well.
Despite an otherwise incomparable professional wrestling career, former trainees of the Fabulous Moolah have accused her of everything from sexual exploitation to financial impropriety. In 1961, the Augusta Chronicle reported the former four-time women's champion made $125,000 which, adjusted for inflation, is the equivalent to just over one million dollars in 2018.
Unfortunately, one would be hard-pressed to find glowing stories of Moolah sharing the wealth.
Former trainee Mad Maxine, real name Jeannine Mjoseth, described a torturous environment within Moolah's compound to Bill Fernow of SLAM! Sports. Under the so-called tutelage of the then-living legend, whose influence dominated women's wrestling at the time, women were charged rent in addition to training fees of $1,500.
The accounts only became more horrific as Mjoseth went into further detail: "The girls went into debt to her and she controlled their lives," claimed Mjoseth. "I made sure I had a job so I could have a phone and a car. The others were kind of marooned. It was an environment ripe for abuse."

They're changing the name.
“After further consideration, we believe it’s best to proceed with the name ‘WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal.’ What remains most important is that this historic match is part of WWE’s unwavering commitment to the Women’s Division.”

Why a Battle Royal when they could have Carmella defend her briefcase in an interpromotional Money in the Bank Ladder match?

I’m crying, what she tweeted was an exact quote from what Burke posted, but they’re two different statements.

Apparently WWE almost lost Snickers as a sponsor because a Diva stan wrote to them about Moolah lmfao.
Our MINDS are so powerful, ugh. They amaze me sometimes.

Look at the OP, WWE put the Snickers logo on the women's match announcement, I'm fuckin HOLLERING. Snickers really put their heel to WWE's neck until they changed it. 🤣
