Yeah. Especially coming off of how epic the Cena-Rock matches felt and how stacked the last couple cards have been. They came off as matches that just COULD NOT happen anywhere but WrestleMania. To the point where one of them was booked a year in advance FFS.
Now we've got a main event where the exact participants are so inconsequential that the match won't even be booked until the show itself. lol
As for the rest of the card, I'm interested in the battle royal but it's nothing that you couldn't see on a random episode of Smackdown or Raw. The prestige of a trophy just because it has a legendary wrestler's name in it can only carry it so far.
The Outlaws and Kane at this point are so far below the major matches that The Shield (more specifically Reigns) seemed destined for at WrestleMania. Another match that seems like something that would just be a Raw main event designed to put The Shield over BEFORE a WrestleMania match.
Divas match should be a fine relatively quick clusterfuck but is obviously not gonna make WrestleMania feel any less like random PPV.
Taker's streak is always a sure thing to add a major feel to the show and the match should be good despite being predictable. Cena vs. Wyatt has been built up fine too over the past couple weeks. Outside of that though, it feels like they're relying on the "WrestleMania" name and the fact that they don't really need people to pay for it now so they can treat it more like a middle of the year PPV. I hope this doesn't become a yearly thing. WrestleMania was the one relatively sure thing during the year where they would put effort into the build from top to bottom.
