The Revival would only be called up if they are going to be on the main show. The SmackDown Tag Division is basically a group of people standing around asking "Where are The Revival?". American Alpha feel like they haven't properly connected as a babyface team largely because they haven't had that charismatic match yet. It's obvious that not everyone watches NXT, but the reputation of certain acts precedes them. Alpha have got that hype but are basically around jobber teams all the time.
That you could have a tag team division on one of the shows that consists of American Alpha, The Revival and Gargano & Ciampa seems like a sure-fire can't fuck it up sort of thing. You can have The Fashion Police as a slightly lower heel team and maybe move The Shining Stars over to be a babyface companion team to them, since they are doing absolutely nothing of note on RAW. It'd be a division very similar to back in the SmackDown Six days. |

Has he signed a contract or is he still doing his free agent shit?
|
If he hasn't signed a contract, I imagine he'll be somewhere in Orlando WrestleMania weekend. Hell, I think he's been doing shows around the WrestleMania location for a few years now even before he started a relationship with the WWE. He'll probably be on NXT Takeover, if anything, but I don't think him versus Neville is entirely out of this world as a possibility.
|
Not impossible but highly improbable. I can't see WWE giving any shine to one of the few guys that didn't sign a contract when so many of their CW guys need it.

According to TMZ, New Day are going to be the hosts for Mania this year.

I wasn't watching at the time, did Kim Kardashian really host in 2008?
|
She did. Did some of the backstage interviewing stuff too.
|
Looking forward to the New Day/Hogan segment where they give him clemency for being a massive racist. Then Ron Simmons walks in with a "DAMN!"

WWE title match being a potential triple threat looks great. |

Quote:
Might need to disband a team or two so its not bloated and WWE pretty much would be implying it was a mistake to split the division though. |
I like the idea of unifying the tag belts. Wish they'd go the same route with the women's title.
|
lol unifying the tag belts months after they were both created. That'd be so fucking dumb.
|
Quote:
|
We still have a ways to go, I don't think they can hold off on such an unimportant match. I bet they make the cross brand tag match like two weeks before Mania.
|
AJ/Shane and New Day hosting are both worrying. AJ deserved a better opponent in order to have the best match on the card. Too much New Day is annoying and they have done nothing since losing the belts
Other than that, the card looks fantastic, def has a big time feel and the right mix of part timers and proper stories with build. Good stuff. |
AJ and Shane will probably get a gimmick and will probably have some memorable spots. Hopefully AJ gets the W, and we never see Shane wrestle again.
|
My goodness if Shane gets the W..............................
|
Cena and Taker both on the card and not facing each other is just a tragedy.
|
Quote:
|
I guess Taker costing Reigns his match would be the preferable option to Strowman losing. But then again, it would be kinda weird. It's not like Reigns cheated to eliminate Taker from the rumble. Taker being vengeful and costing Reigns his match because of it would be an odd, petty, heel-ish move on his part. Pretty lazy, too. Not as lazy as when they just had four guys wrestle a match on Raw to see who would face Taker at WrestleMania... but close.
|
Quote:
|
To be fair, Undertaker did go on to say that he accepted that eventually he would lose at Mania, but he didn't appreciate Lesnar and Heyman gloating about it for a year and a half.
|
I'm feeling rather "blah" about elements of WrestleMania. There feels like "better options" for many of the guys. The Revival for Alpha, Ibushi for Neville, the Six-Man option instead of Triple H/Rollins one-on-one, Cena vs. Styles instead of the Mixed Tag and the Shane match.
|
Seems like Shaq vs Big Show might not happen for Mania. Basis involves a recent interview WWE's website had with Big Show that put some doubt about the match happening.
Mix of Shaq being very busy and Big Show feeling this might be his last Mania and wanted something more meaningful as a parting gift. Quote:
|
Thank GOD.
|
They could have Strowman and Show in the Battle Royal, it would be a great story and they could be the final two. Maybe Show wins on a fluke and then Strowman just murders him dead.
|
I say that because I love Big Show and it would be the right thing to do to put him over for all the jobs he's done over the years. Give him two minutes to celebrate and then Strowman MURDERS HIM TO DEATH. Then Strowman also murders someone else that night, maybe Taker or Roman or Brock or Goldberg. Either way, STROWMAN MURDERS = RATINGS

You mean having the 2 year build with HHH and Rollins is better with a 1 on 1 match instead of a cluster fuck 6 man tag match?

Match of the WEEK : Gree-D vs The Patriot. Check this out its worth it!
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/togZRSrbyPk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
What a match folks, Pro Wrestling Superstars are really getting their stuff together. Ive been following their work and I have to say that these guys are on the right track. In this match, the champion himself, Gree-D wrestles a charismatic young face, THE PATRIOT! You guys gotta watch it, Some previews of the action! http://i.imgur.com/8ej3bZe.jpg The champion Gree-D calling The Patriot out! http://i.imgur.com/uQ67fn3.jpg The All American never backs down from a match! http://i.imgur.com/8l1r1XA.jpg The two wrestlers square off! http://i.imgur.com/0U9ydnW.jpg Gree-D is in trouble! Did he underestimate the All American power of The Patriot? |
Quote:
There's a big difference between him coming back to cost Lesnar a title match after Lesnar and Heyman heeled it up and antagonized him for a year and a half and him coming back to cost Reigns a match simply because he eliminated him from the rumble fair and square. One is justified and the other would be weird and petty. |
Shaq has said Mania probably isn't happening.
|
Mania is probably happening. Don't think they would cancel it.
Shaq just probably won't be there. |
I can see it now:
The Wyatt Triple Threat ends with Orton RKOing and pinning Harper for the title. Wyatt walks up to Orton, confused as to what he did. He thought he was in it for family. Orton RKOs him. The announcers talk about the Viper striking again, and this time, he destroyed the Wyatt family from within. The confetti is flying, the fireworks are going off... and the crowd is shitting all over it. Discuss. |
I think Orton's popular enough that he wouldn't get booed to that degree. People always pop for the RKO.
|
There's been reports that Orton wants to stay heel because he prefers it. Honestly, they've booked the angle so perfectly so far that Wyatt and Orton coming out of Wrestlemania still united even after tension is teased would be fantastic. Hell, you want heel heat, have Randy win it and then on Smackdown, just have him sacrifice himself to Bray in the rematch to take a sister abigail.

According to F4W/Observer, Cena vs Joe was the Mania match they didn't want to reveal due to fears of Vince scrapping it if it got leaked out early. Joe was also originally planned to be on Smackdown before recent stuff caused those plans to get changed.
https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCirc...couple_months/ Big Show is blaming Shaq for why their Mania match is rumored to be off now. Implied both guys getting in shape was one of the terms for the match and Shaq didn't hold his end of the bargain. ESPN did imply they weren't completely sure if Big Show wasn't pulling a "worked" promo on them. Quote:
|
Couldwouldashoulda but man just replace Styles with Corbin in this Shane feud and it would be much more effective. I actually love the story, but pairing Styles, your best in-ring worker, against a non-wrestler, just irks me.
|
Why do people hate Fatal Four-Ways so much?
At this point I wouldn't be against seeing Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton vs. Luke Harper vs. AJ Styles. The Wyatt family alone as a triple threat makes sense from a storyline perspective. Styles lost his title, never got his rematch, and has been embroiled in this whole "#1 contenders match" nonsense over the weeks that fuck it, throw him in. Would be a good match, get's four good workers in an important match, means we don't get AJ vs. Shane, and hell, at least bucks the trend of always having triple threat matches at Wrestlemania. |

Rumors from Cagesideseats about possible Mania plans.
Quote:

lol at "in hopes Eva Marie's schedule is open"....... is she not under contract...... just tell her to be there.......
|
Supposedly she's currently busy with promoting her clothing brand and some non-WWE projects at the moment. Decided to get a lot of things done with the vast amount of free time she's had since her Wellness suspension ended and WWE refusing to even use her for house shows.
If it wasn't for Total Divas, she probably would have been let go by now. |

According to a recent episode of the Observer Radio show, Lesnar ended up being the big reason why the original plans of Shane-Lesnar got dropped. Before it was speculated management were the ones who were against it but turns out it was all Lesnar.
He hated the idea of facing Shane and the storyline they had planned for him but had enough pull within the WWE to get it dropped in favor of him getting someone else. That left the opening for WWE to do more with Goldberg than just have him promote WWE 2k17. Also seems the reason why the teases Shane had with Ambrose got abruptly dropped was due to the WWE letting Shane pick his Mania opponent. He wanted Styles so the storyline tension with Ambrose got dropped. Quote:
|
Also some news regarding Taker-Reigns at Mania.
Quote:
Right now the WWE is considering 2 options for post-Mania plans involving Lesnar with one involving Reigns and the other SPOILER: show |
According to the Observer, Shaq-Big Show has been officially cancelled. Shaq claimed he was back in talks with the WWE for a possible match but Observer's sources said WWE is no longer interested nor were any new talks held.

Indeed. Which is why I think he's a fine choice. Excited to hear Kurt's speech.

Just gotta throw it out there because it's been thought of, which means WWE might use it....
Shaq is the "special entrant" in the Andre the Giant BR(again), him vs Show vs Strowman final 3....Strowman takes out both by himself. |
Quote:

One annoyance for me is how we've arrived at most of the matches, especially the championship matches, whatever happened to the concept of contendership!?
Universal Championship Lesnar gets a title match by vertue of the fact that he was already booked in a match with the guy who won the title...who just got himself a title match the month prior. Raw Womens' Championship Charlotte lost the belt but had her rematch and lost again, still in the match. Sasha and Anita have "earned" their way in. Raw Tag Team Championship No winner from a #1 Contenders match leads to a Triple Threat, then one team has to retain their position in the match in one of the most nonsensical matches ever. US Championship A personal issue leads to a title match, albeit the contender was the former Universal Champion...who surely should be competing for that belt. Intercontinental Championship Personal issue. Guys just book the match. Even Taker/Lesnar was just sort of slipped on to the card without much fanfare. There's 4 in-air authority figures but they don't seem all that fussed about booking the shows, and let the guys book themselves most of the time. |
According to HBK, original plans for AJ Styles were for him to face HBK and not Shane at Mania.
Him rejecting WWE's offer to wrestle and Lesnar rejecting facing Shane pretty much opened the door for Shane vs Styles to happen instead. Quote:
|
Just read that the reason the Big Show/Shaq match has been cancelled is because Shaq is rumored to be appearing on Raw this week to challenge Goldberg and Brock for the belt ans they're gonna make it a triple threat
|
According to PWI, Taker is very likely retiring after this Mania. The recent Rumble ended up being the big turning point for both him and WWE management realizing he's no longer healthy enough to wrestle even with his current laxed schedule.
Quote:
|
It feels like every year for the past 6-7 Manias, "people backstage are concerned about Taker's health"
He is a legend and i love him, but it gets tiresome to read about him constantly struggling through the build. Let Reigns retire him as a heel and have that to brag about ad nauseum for the next decade. If they wanted Cena, it should have been this year and the Sting boat passed them by a few years ago |
