Hmm... 50/50 strike rate for WrestleMania "hosts" being successful. Rock at WM27 just went on and on and on, but Hogan at WM30 led to that awesome segment with him, Austin and Rock.

The thing that worries me is the fact that this show will likely be 6-ish hours altogether. The New Day shtick is fine in small doses, but if we get hours worth, it could get rough. I think based on past hosts they've had for stuff it will probably be like 2 or 3 segments tops. |

Well that's one way to thin the roster a bit before the show |

That's cool for them. Honestly, I'm struggling to think of a match for them that wouldn't be a tag team clusterf*** so it's good they found another way to get them on the card. Yeah, I was thinking they would do a four way tag title match with Gallows and Anderson vs. Enzo and Cass vs. Sheamus and Cesaro vs. The New Day which seems like it would end up on the Kick Off Show, which would just end up putting them at full circle from where they were at Mania 31 (albeit with them being much more over). |

At this point, I think it may just be Gallows/Anderson v Enzo/Big Cass on the pre-show for the RAW tag belts and (depending on what they want to do with the Jericho v Owens feud) either a multi-man for the US belt or the Andre for Sheamus and Cesaro. |

I figure if there's a proposal after the mixed tag match(or so the rumor I've heard), should probably try to start a Nikki deserves better chant. It really comes across as Cena couldn't care less from how they're playing it.

I just hope that hosting WM makes more money than having a yawn match at WM...

For the Women's matches I would do
Fatal Four Way: Alexa Bliss vs Becky Lynch vs Natalya vs Mickie James
Tag Match (Title on the Line Though): Bayley & Sasha Banks vs Charlotte & Stephanie McMahon
I think instead of doing two four way's, I just dont think Nia Jax warrants a spot and the Stephanie & Charlotte dynamic could draw some serious heat leading to something between them down the line. I know people would roll their eyes but it's adds a totally different dynamic, although it may hamper the quality of the match and they will want to top last year.
Naomi is out (but should commentate) Natalya deserves to be in there after all these years. Carmella doesnt really warrant a spot to be fair, plus shes has her own angle going on.

Nothing makes me feel invested in that relationship anyway and the recent non helpful actions from Cena really help cement the not caring emotions |

Maybe it's just the optimist in me, but I don't think a crowd would be so cold as to boo a marriage proposal at WrestleMania just because it's John Cena. I mean, booing him in a match is one thing, but booing love?
(Besides, who are we to judge how they show their love? You can show love without constantly mounting each other like wild animals)

So I did a bit of thought, and this is what the card looks like based on rumors, build, and a remark from commentary:
Cruiserweight title match
Andre match
Raw Tag title match
SD Tag title match
SD Women's title match
Reigns vs. Undertaker
IC Title match: Ambrose vs. Corbin
RAW Women's title match
Big Show vs. Shaq
US Title match?
WWE World Heavyweight title match: Wyatt vs. Harper vs. Orton
Cena and Nikki vs. Miz and Maryse
Lesnar vs. Goldberg III, possibly for Universal
Owens vs. Jericho, possibly for Universal or US
Styles vs. Shane
Sheamus vs. Cesaro: The Final Chapter, possibly
Whatever Triple H/Rollins/Joe are doing
Not counting the time for the pre-show, that's sixteen, seventeen matches in four hours. So obviously, some arranging must be done.
PRE-SHOW: Both tag title matches, SD women's title, and either the Cruiserweight title match or Sheamus vs. Cesaro. Or both.
MAIN SHOW: Everything else
Now, Reign vs. Undertaker CAN'T run more than ten minutes for Undertaker's health's sake. Big Show vs. Shaq likely isn't going more than seven minutes. Same with the Andre match. And I don't know how long the U.S. title match would go. Assuming we don't have bloated host segments or The Rock chewing up time that could go to matches, there would be plenty of time then to give the rest of the matches without dragging the show out or rushing everything. It'd be tricky to do but should be possible.

I think Sheamus/Cesaro will go into the Andre or the RAW tag title match. Maybe a US multiman if they feel like Jericho/Owens doesn't need a belt.

Look, I'm all for everyone getting on the card to get that WrestleMania payday, but a 17-match card - even spread out over six hours - would be exhausting. The fans in Orlando would be asleep by the time the main event rolls around. I think at most you could squeeze 12 matches onto the entire card, with four matches on the pre-show and eight on the main. I would hope that WWE learned from last year's WrestleMania pre-show that there's a shocking amount of down time over two hours when you only have three matches and none go longer than 12 minutes, so maybe they could fit four or even five matches onto the pre-show. |

Hosting duties are certainly a novel approach to the age-old issue of "hey, you're way too big to be doing nothing, but we got zilch in terms of direction." Granted, New Day are 1 of about 3-4 acts that can actually get away with it, so kudos to semi-inspired thinking.

Such a shame guys like Rusev and Ceasaro yet again will be shoved into filler/multi man matches. I would love both of them to have singles matches. Just watched Rusev vs Cena again last night and I really enjoyed that match, the entrance, big fight feel, everything about it.
