Unbelievable how big they’re making this PPV (which has a 5pm start time here in the U.K. on a Friday, 12pm and earlier in the USA). Coupled with Australia later in the year, it makes a complete mockery of their ongoing excuse that thy couldn’t do a PPV here because of the time difference. Money talks, eh.

Wonder if they're going to keep the belt on him until he breaks Punk's record.

I do wonder if this is only a short term deal and he’s still going to ufc or if the ufc thing was just a diversion with Dana involved.

Also why release this now and not on raw?

Yep indeed. Very odd. No reason not to do a ppv here. They could easily make a big summer stadium event with an axcess and raw and SD tapping to follow.

I was thinking you still have the weather excuse, but they’re doing WrestleMania outdoors in New York again next year. It’s freezing.

Good lord that main event. Sucked so bad, this just needs to stop, turn Reigns, nothing is working right now as a face.

The biggest problem, as always, is the storytelling, it’s written by idiots. When you have Ciampa getting legit heel heat, that is how you get someone over. Enough of these grey area characters. If Vince is still calling the shots he needs to move on and trips to move up. How long have we been saying that for...

What an insult to Asuka and Rusev as well.

I’m shocked AJ/Nak was average at best but that heel turn was fantastic.

Match of night was Rousey, amazing to say that.

I wonder if Vince thinks Reigns will get cheered in the Middle East so is going to have him win the title there instead.

This would be hilarious. Nuclear heat on his return.

Cena

Someone’s got be turning heel tonight, Reigns or Cena.

Will be nice to watch what will be a 5 hour show, if not longer, at a reasonable time. Perfect for a takeaway.

Poor ‘Mania in my opinion. No need for that much swerve booking. Braun is turning into a comedy character. I’m not surprised Lesnar re signed with WWE, he looked kind of out of shape last night, bit of a gut, don’t think he’d stand a chance in a real fight these days. Seems the most over man on the main roster was only added to the US title match to take the pinfall to the least over man in the main roster. Not having Asuka win was silly. I’d say the same about Nakamura but I liked the heel turn, as long as they don’t make him a “foreign heel”.
On the plus side, Ronda was Awesome!

I think every big man in WWE has eventually turned into a joke character. Yokozuna might be the exception.

They should have them both turn heel on the crowd together. Not going to happen though, especially with Cena’s new film career but it would potentially be great.

For the past like 3 years I've watched the NXT show and it's been an amazing way of hyping me up for Wrestlemania, and the for the past like 3 years I've watched Wrestlemania and been bored and disappointed out of my strawberry floating skull

Can somebody remind me in the middle of March next year to watch NXT and not bother with WM please

I think the biggest problem with WrestleMania is that it’s now just too long so it’s always going to drag no matter what they come up with. 7 hours is a long time to sit on a couch and not get restless.

Haha this crowd telling Stephanie to shut the strawberry float up. :slol:

Superstar Shake Up for RAW and SmackDown Live next week.

Not a full draft again, interesting. I assume that Owens and zayn will just go to raw.

What the strawberry float, strowman just gave up the tag titles :lol:

I guess the crowning of new tag champions is going on the Greatest Royal Rumble as well.

Can’t help but feel No way Jose is going to end up like Perfect 10 on the main roster.

Oh look it’s the new Adam rose. #Not going to work.
