From the newest Wrestling Observer




Quote:


Samoa Joe made his main roster debut in the final segment of RAW doing an attack on Seth Rollins just when it appeared Rollins and HHH were going to go at it. The plan was to set up Rollins vs. Joe at the Fast Lane PPV (2/22 in Milwaukee) and for that to lead to Rollins vs. HHH. Joe threw Rollins around outside the ring and more inside the ring. The injury, believed to be a torn MCL, happened as Joe took Rollins down to deliver his choke finisher and Rollins legs were flailing around rather than planted and his right knee went out. That was the same knee that he had reconstructive surgery on in 2015, which caused him to miss his scheduled 2016 WrestleMania match with HHH.
Rollins was getting an evaluation on the knee on 2/1 in Birmingham and the early word was that he’d be out about eight weeks, meaning that Mania was possible but not definite. Obviously he’ll want to do it under any circumstances when it’s that close of a call but WWE these days, for legal reasons, is far more cautious about throwing talent back into the ring before they are ready than has been the case historically.


So this is the current WrestleMania lineup with notes:


*Bill Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar for the Universal title. Goldberg should win the title at Fast Lane, the next show he’s appearing on. WrestleMania is the final match of Goldberg’s current contract, but given that he’s been a big success so far, there is no reason that can’t be renewed. Nevertheless, given the way the build has gone, one would expect Lesnar to come out as champion. And if that’s the case, the speculation would be on who he loses it to, with the latest pushes indicate Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman leading the pack.


*Undertaker vs. Reigns. They shot the angle in the Rumble, where Reigns eliminated Undertaker. As noted before, Reigns will be booed out of the building against Undertaker. It was noted to us that Vince McMahon had been wanting to make this match for some time. With Undertaker’s condition the way it is, this could have been the last chance to do it. There is the idea of a generational passing of the torch. That could mean a Reigns win and a heel run with the idea the fans turned on him, since long-term the goal is still to be the face of the company. It could mean an Undertaker win as a way to humanize Reigns, and get endorsed by Undertaker (which also could come if Reigns wins and they are dead set against the heel turn even though the crowd reactions at least on TV’s and PPV’s will continue to be strongly negative). Undertaker was clearly not in shape in the Rumble. From what we understand, even though he did very little in the match, his hip was hurting badly after his recent surgery. He needs hip replacement surgery, but he’s been putting it off until he ends his career. Hopefully with two more months he can be in good enough shape to be able to do a solid lengthy singles match.


*HHH vs. Seth Rollins. Obviously this is in jeopardy right now. Plans for an alternate feud for Triple H were discussed earlier today. When we have more information about those discussions we will share the information.


*Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton for the WWE title. The first part of the planned set up came through with Orton winning. Wyatt is scheduled to win the Elimination Chamber match and win the title at this stage I can’t see that changing. Orton is to be the babyface in this program. Either way, it’s likely the two will continue their program after WrestleMania, which also takes A.J. Styles out of the title picture for now.


*Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens. No word if the U.S. title will be at stake. Jericho’s run was supposed to originally end a long time ago, but things worked out well for him and he’s inked new short-term deals. He does have some concerts scheduled for 5/27 to 6/9, but that’s it, so it’s not a lock he’s leaving after WrestleMania as it once appeared.


*John Cena & Nikki Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse. This is notable in a lot of ways. When this match came out, a ton of people internally were rolling their eyes about it. On one hand, it does feel like a waste for Cena, who was originally to face Undertaker, and there was also talk of Samoa Joe and others. But there is also a lot of talk that it would be Nikki Bella’s last match (there are reports of that but nobody we’ve asked about it internally either had any knowledge or confirmed it). If so, you can see her wanting to go out with her boyfriend at WrestleMania and see him maybe wanting that as well. Miz has done a great job of late and the Miz & Maryse couple are a near main event level act. With the storyline where Natalya pushed that “John will never marry you,” I keep thinking this could lead to a proposal, and if that’s the case, in the big picture, this match makes sense. I don’t know that’s the case. That would be a far bigger thing as far as something memorable than anything, even a great match with A.J. Styles, that Cena could be to the majority of fans.


*Big Show vs. Shaquille O’Neal. It really doesn’t matter what they do here. O’Neal should lose since it’s not like he’s coming back and Show is, but in these types of situations, the rule of thumb is to put the celebrity over because it’s all about the post-show coverage, and to the real world, clips of Shaq winning play better than Show winning. Show is 45 years old and his winning or losing means nothing in the long run.


*Charlotte vs. Bayley vs. Nia Jax vs. Sasha Banks for the women’s title. They are pushing the Charlotte PPV winning streak hard. WrestleMania would be the time to lose it. Bayley is obviously the person to win it. To me, that’s actually too soon for the story, but WrestleMania is so obviously the place to do it. Plus it would enable a Bayley vs. Banks match at SummerSlam in Brooklyn. But given the work Charlotte has done in building up the value of the title in recent months, and her presence on interviews which none of the other women have, it’s hard for me to see her out of the title picture for any length of time.


The other match that is rumored that looks likely, but not confirmed is A.J. Styles vs. Shane McMahon.


That pretty much takes care of most of the show. There could be an IC title match with Dean Ambrose. With Miz in the Cena match, that puts either Baron Corbin or Dolph Ziggler as the leading contenders for it. There are also both brand tag team titles and the Smackdown women’s title. Corbin also makes sense in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal, where Braun Strowman, at one time scheduled to win it last year, would be the favorite. As far as top guys go, with the exception of Finn Balor, that seems to take care of everyone.

Going to laugh if this just ends up being one big stunt for Total Divas or Total Bellas instead of being this gen's version of the Macho-Liz WWF proposal and marriage.

So both brands' top titles will be on the line at WM after one month feuds each?

These are rumors, but that just sounds dumb. Plus, if they take the belt off Cena after only a month, then they should have given Styles a third win over Cena to keep the streak alive, have Styles lose the belt in the Chamber after not being pinned, and save Cena beating Styles for a moment that can last longer.

Give Lesnar the belt so that Goldberg has a reason to face him. That seems obvious...

Assuming the above is correct, the Universal title will be on the line in a program that has been going on since the early Fall, and the WWE title in a program that started around the same time.

It's funny when people complain about stuff that is just plain wrong.

Yeah the Berg/Brock thing does seem backwards. But it's been built for more than a month. Bit of an unfair criticism.

With you on the SDL thing though. Really not into Orton/Wyatt for the belt, or a potential AJ/Shane match. The latter would have made more sense if AJ had retained against Cena, then lost 2 weeks later in the EC, AJ would have a bigger axe to grind with Shane. Although AJ can't lose the belt in the EC "without being pinned", unless he gets injured out of the match.

Update on Ambrose/WrestleMania from Dave Meltzer this morning:


Quote:

"Dean Ambrose is kinda like, well he doesn't have anything for Wrestlemania at this point. I suppose they could do something for the IC title, I mean like a multiple person match or something, but y'know we'll see. There's already a lot of matches on the card and there's the battle royal and everything, but they could still add something. He may be subjected to being on the pre-show at this rate unless he's in that battle royal"

Ambrose hurts any program or title because he has this I dont give a crap aura about him.

I would look to get the title on Corbin or back to Miz ASAP.

With Seth seemingly out of the picture and the reveal that Foley is having surgery and will have to give up the GM job, I could see this as the opportunity for Kurt Angle to come in as the new Raw GM.

Here's a potential possibility: If the WWE grants clearance for Kurt Angle and Daniel Bryan for one last match, you can have the battle of the GM's at Wrestlemania. And if it can't be one-on-one, you can have Kurt Angle & Triple H (fighting for Steph) vs. Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon.

I, for one, would love to see that as opposed to AJ vs Shane.

With the rumors of them wanting to make New IC and US belts and also Dean wanting a new one they should just unveil the new one at Wrestlemania and have the ladder match for it. Not sure about the US though maybe Jericho or Owens turn it into the Canadian championship and who ever beats them gets a new one.

Dean said he wanted a new one on Smackdown one week, but then on the Royal Rumble pre-show they asked him in the social media lounge about an IC title redesign and what his ideal title would look like, and he answered that he loves his current one and it is the design he grew up with and that it was his ideal belt design already.

they've been building to him wrestling the Miz since the brand split. There's no reason to have the Miz mocking him every week if its never going to happen.

Shane/Bryan vs Miz/Styles would work

Even if the WWE wanted to consider the idea, they are never going to do it as long as the class-action lawsuit involving concussions is active. WWE got lucky the general public doesn't care as much about wrestling as they do with NFL or else they'd be dealing with a lot more public pressure.

Given the way things currently are, I'd have John Cena retain the WWE Championship in the Elimination Chamber. Everybody is expecting him to lose it. Have him beat Wyatt in the final fall and actually retain. AJ Styles, who never got his one-on-one rematch and gets shafted in the EC somehow (or maybe he's just the first entrant and is worn out by the end) says he wants to be in the WWE Title match at WrestleMania. Shane McMahon is reluctant, but Daniel Bryan understands what Styles is going through and places him in the match.

* John Cena (c) vs. Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles for the WWE Championship

This would be a cathartic "End of an Era" match. Cena and Orton represent the WWE since the shift from the Attitude era, and AJ Styles coming in as a man less than two years into his WWE stint but already regarded as the best wrestler in the world makes a great story. The fans want to cheer AJ Styles so much, and this positions him as the change Shane McMahon promised. They finally have a guy that can do it.

As for the Universal Title, I'd actually put it on The Undertaker at Fastlane. Taker isn't looking good, but in the fans' eyes he carries a lot of respectability. He will help wash the mid-card stank off the RAW Title. Something Court Bauer said in his podcast gave me the idea for a really good angle to take on the Taker/Reigns story. Taker is the "conscience of the WWE" and a man who shows up to right the wrongs. Reigns used to fight for justice, but right now has become an injustice. The fans do not feel he is worthy of his spot and Undertaker is here to test him. "Endorsing" Reigns will not work, given that they've already had The Rock do that and it backfired. But Undertaker symbolically acquitting Reigns of being a failure might have some story value.

* The Undertaker (c) vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship

Brock/Goldberg doesn't need the title. They are two men fighting for personal pride. I don't know what you have Goldberg do at Fastlane, but I honestly don't really want him there. Maybe he can squash Handsome Rusev? I dunno. I also don't want Brock beating Goldie. I think the story should be that Brock never truly gets one over him. I like the rock/paper/scissors dynamic between Taker/Goldberg/Brock that they could sort of get going -- Taker always trumps Goldberg; Goldberg always trumps Brock; Brock always trumps Taker. Whatever. I'd keep Goldberg as a special attraction and I don't particularly want to see him lose if that is the case. That being said, I don't really know if beating Brock again is particularly smart. Many will hate this, but a thought I keep entertaining is the idea of SAnitY interrupting the match. It'd be a great way for Eric Young to grab the world's attention. I've long felt that the act should grow on the main roster. I don't know if you back pocket Brock and Goldberg after that or you have them form a super team to face SAnitY in a Handicap Match at the next PPV, but you can certainly play with some intriguing dynamics.

* Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar III

Finally, fuck Triple H, I'd have Samoa Joe vs. Seth Rollins at WrestleMania. If Seth is not good to work a long match, have him re-injure the leg in a valiant effort and put Joe over that way. Triple H's promo on RAW was apparently pretty good, but the content implied that he was done creating -- yet here is a Samoa Joe? To me, the story should be that Joe is now Triple H's pet project and there's no reason for The Game to get into the ring while that is the plan. Triple H could gain major political points by sitting out a WrestleMania when he is not needed. He can pop a show later in the year if he really wants to. Seth should sit out and be forced to contemplate retirement at the hands of Joe, only to make his valiant return and to go into a fight against the odds at Mania.

* Samoa Joe vs. Seth Rollins

As for what Bray Wyatt does? I think the tensions between Wyatt and Harper can be fostered into a successful program, with Harper finally breaking free and fighting his former mentor. I'd like to see this be the IC Title program at WrestleMania. Neither guy seems like a great fit for the title, but given how flat everything else is, I think it would at least be a little extra incentive for Harper to fight Bray.

* Bray Wyatt (c) vs. Luke Harper for the Intercontinental Championship

Honestly? Because Shane couldn't really wrestle before and is 10 years older. There is nothing he can do that we haven't already seen, and the current best in ring guy in the company deserves a match against a high caliber opponent.

Shane is a 47 year old non-wrestler. I am the exact opposite to you. I don't understand why anyone would want to see it.

But yeah...I guess if he has to wrestle...

Not sure it matters, but i'm going to Smackdown on March 7th and the local tv is advertising Cena vs Styles for the main belt and Ambrose vs The Miz for the IC belt.

I'm also feeling The Revival being in that Tag Team Turmoil as the last team in to dethrone Alpha, leading to Hulk Hogan backing them up for a Tag Title rematch at WrestleMania. I'd leave the RAW Tag Team Titles off the card then, unless they can get The Hardy Boyz back to do a TLC and Matt can bump his head and tease a better version of the Broken Matt stuff, since people are dorks enough to eat it up.

I can buy Matt Hardy as an insane veteran who breaks after never achieving the success he wants in professional wrestling. That much is easy. It's just the backyard shit and special effects. I'm fine with Matt Hardy getting eerie piano music as a theme, dying part of his hair grey and acting like a master of all men in the RAW mid-card. Give Matt creative input and lay out some key dates and matches for him (like a bout against his brother at SummerSlam) and win him from TNA. Give him and Jeff a RAW Tag Team Title run (something they have never had) and let them drop the belts to The New Day in that TLC Match or something.

* The Hardys (c) vs. The New Day vs. Gallows & Anderson vs. Sheamus & Cesaro in a TLC Match for the RAW Tag Team Championship

The SmackDown Women's Title can be on the line in a Scramble Match between the six girls that are currently involved in that division. You might as well have Naomi head in champion at this point, because who really gives a fuck, right? I want the final fall to be between Becky and Mickie so that Alexa and Mickie can split off and Becky can move into a feud with Sasha Banks when she jumps over to SmackDown.

* Scramble Match for the SmackDown Women's Championship: Naomi (c) vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Mickie James vs. Becky Lynch vs. Natalya vs. Nikki Bella

Neville should defend the Cruiserweight Title against Kota Ibushi, the best cruiserweight in the world today. Really simple build-up, no shenanigans -- simply a great little wrestling match that Dave Meltzer would give seven stars if it happened in the main event of a Japanese show.

* Neville (c) vs. Kota Ibushi for the Cruiserweight Championship

The final match I would include on the main show is Dean Ambrose teaming with Renee Young against The Miz & Maryse in a mixed tag. Renee Young, given how endearing she is, could make a tremendous babyface, and I am sure she is at least somewhat prepared for some sort of physical involvement. The Miz and Maryse are perfect antagonists for her and Dean Ambrose, who can be the aloof loner fighting with the woman that some know he is secretly involved with, but probably doesn't want involved in his physical business (in this sense). Probably the most "heavyweight" thing Dean deserves at this point in time.

* Dean Ambrose & Renee Young vs. The Miz & Maryse

Oh, and then there is that Andre Battle Royal. I still maintain this is where Big Show and Shaq should be. Baron Corbin and Braun Strowman too. Enzo & Cass can do some hype work heading into it. This could be Mark Henry's "retirement match" too. Will they give it to him just because it is his last night with the company? There could be some drama mined in there. A pissed off bald Ziggler from a Hair vs. Mask Match with Kalisto on the pre-show could come out and participate and do quite well. You can have some surprises and some veterans in there too. Given who would currently be scheduled, I'd have it come down between Sami Zayn and Strowman with Strowman winning.

* Andre the Giant Battle Royal; Sceduled Winner: Braun Strowman

Final card:

(edited to include two more "opening portion" matches to get it to five a-piece)

Main Event Portion:

* John Cena (c) vs. Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles for the WWE Championship
* The Undertaker (c) vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship
* Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar III
* Neville (c) vs. Kota Ibushi for the Cruiserweight Championship
* Charlotte (c) vs. Bayley vs. Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax for the RAW Women's Championship

Middle Portion:

* Bray Wyatt (c) vs. Luke Harper for the Intercontinental Championship
* Samoa Joe vs. Seth Rollins
* The Hardys (c) vs. Anderson & Gallows vs. Cesaro & Sheamus vs. The New Day in a TLC Match for the RAW Tag Team Championship
* Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal: Final two are Braun Strowman and Sami Zayn
* Chris Jericho (c) vs. Kevin Owens for the United States Championship

Opening Portion:
* The Miz & Maryse vs. Dean Ambrose & Renee Young
* Dolph Ziggler vs. Kalisto in a Hair vs. Mask Match
* Naomi (c) vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Becky Lynch vs. Mickie James vs. Natalya vs. Nikki Bella for the SmackDown Women's Championship
* Tyler Bate (c) vs. Jack Gallagher for the WWE UK Championship
* The Revival (c) vs. American Alpha for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship

In between the blocks they can do Network commercials, adds for future PPVs, show folks training in the back, cut to the panel, etc. Basically an intermission. Edge & Christian can do some entertaining during the first break with Enzo & Cass and maybe a heel team like Rusev & Jinder Mahal. The Rock can take over the second segment and segue into the RAW Women's Title match.

Because they shouldn't be looking for someone for Shane to face? He came in last year to make up the numbers on a depleted roster, this year they're going to struggle to get all of the champions on the card. The mentality of "there's no one better for Shane to face" is backwards; they should be looking for the best opponent to showcase AJ.

There are pros to AJ Styles facing Shane McMahon. It's a trusted spot. Vince is obviously impressed with the work AJ does if he's going to let him wrestle his son at WrestleMania. And whether or not we like it, Shane is also over. AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon is a more important match than, say, AJ Styles vs. Dean Ambrose, and that's just a fact of life at the moment.

That being said, I'd actually rather see Triple H vs. Shane McMahon. Let me scrap that, I'd rather Triple H sit off the WrestleMania card entirely, but if we do need him on there, it's a match between two non-wrestling characters with a lot of emotional stakes.

It would also be a good way to get Seth over to SmackDown, where I think he could have a more interesting and less mired run as a babyface.

I find it crazy that there's heat between the 2. Though I know Shane was never fond of H getting with Steph but jeez y'all are familia. Shouldn't be anything anyone knows about.

If I remember the heat itself is pretty small but mostly regarding the post-Vince plans for the WWE. Triple H has way more heat against those who brought Shane back like Kevin Dunn since those people were planned on getting fired once he officially took over.

I'm actually wondering if the US Title will be on the line in some sort of Ladder Match. It seems "too gimmicky" for the station that Owens and Jericho are at, but Owens loves his spotfests and Jericho is a team player. I could see Jericho vs. Owens vs. Zayn vs. Strowman vs. Sheamus vs. Cesaro with Rusev possibly being in there. It seems random, but given that seeds are being planted for a Sheamus/Cesaro split again (and I doubt they give him time for a proper Mania program) and that Zayn and Strowman kind of get left in the dark when it comes to rumored scheduled Mania plans, a Ladder Match gives them a chance to all get some shine and fight over the RAW mid-card title.

I dunno, it's just a suggestion. I just still think that Jericho vs. Owens is going to be one "personal grudge over a title" too many when it comes to the PPV in terms of tone. I mean, Orton and Wyatt will already likely be doing the split thing.

Also, allegedly The Hardys have not re-upped with TNA yet. I can see them going to the WWE in return for that greater creative control. Or at least with major tentpoles set up -- ie. Matt hitting his head at Mania, coming back as Broken Matt, feuding with Jeff, converting him, going back after the RAW Tag Titles, PPV in Raleigh, etc. Why not accommodate some of Matt's wishes in order to snag him away from TNA and get those giant merch movers back into the company and helping to pump up that mid-card of yours?

The Hardys winning the RAW Tag Titles from Gallows & Anderson (I can see Matt being the sort of guy that would request to work with them) before feuding with The New Day heading into WrestleMania seems like something that would really spice up the card. I originally had them in a TLC Match, but I can see them just wrestling a plain tag and Big E's Spear through the ropes to Matt being what causes him to go ga-ga. Gallows & Anderson can go into the Battle Royal.

I think with how it's been said of Strowman's push, her deserves better than a multi man cluster fuck match for a secondary title.

Really the roster is so seemingly thin there's not a lot of options for him. An inter promotional match was mentioned but who from Smackdown do you put him against?

The thing is, you put him in something long and he is going to get exposed and the heat will be off. By throwing him into an environment like that you can guide him, protect him, make him seem like a big deal and keep those wheels spinning.

Everybody in the match could attack him from the start. He could start tossing them around left and right and then go nuts with a ladder. Eventually numbers effect him and everybody works together to get him through an announce table. Everybody else battles and then eventually Strowman returns in KILLMODE again. There can be some cute power spots with him, but eventually he gets taken out again. But you can ultimately have him win the match or lose without being pinned or submitting. Given that it's the US Title, I wouldn't actually mind a Strowman title reign. Owens and Jericho can feud coming out of WrestleMania without the title on the line, or by having a Triple Threat with him at the next PPV. The things he would pick up just working with these guys. He eventually pins one and keeps the belt, then you have Owens turn on Jericho or whatever you have planned.

20 years later and we're still getting Wrestlemania feuds built around the McMahon family for fucks sake.

Hell, Strowman vs Henry (just start building Henry up now) will get him a 1 on 1 victory at Mania. Of you could even do a Henry and Zayn vs Strowman to make it a more solid win.
