So what we thinking for other matches to round out the card? Thought for sure that a few would be announced on Raw last night;
Lashley vs Finn for the IC title Revival vs Roode & Gable Rey Vs Andrade Some combo of Kurt/Braun/Lashley/Drew
I'm struggling to think of anything else. What are Ronda & Asuka gonna do?

Rousey seems set to defend her belt against Riott. It’ll probably be good, but Riott may as well be a heavily-tattooed Washington General against Rowdy Ronda Globetrotter.

I wouldn't even bother having Rousey defend the belt between now and Mania. There's no point - she isn't losing and Brock isn't doing it anyway so she has an excuse. It's just eating up time.

You're not wrong about the chances of anyone taking the title from Ronda, but Brock not being there is all the more reason for her to be on the card. I don't know if she really moves the needle all that much, but having both of Raw's world titles not being defended on the PPVs leading up to Mania is certainly worse than just having Brock be an absentee champion.

What are Ronda & Asuka gonna do? I'm pretty sure after what happened on Raw Ronda is going to fight Ruby Riott. Morgan and Logan being Riott Squad members in the tag team chamber kind of gives it away. I guess Asuka will fight Charlotte as all the other Smackdown women are in the tag team chamber and I'm sure they are going milk this Becky "suspension" angle a good bit longer. Lashley/Balor and Andrade/Rey seem like locks. Have no clue about Angle, Braun, McIntyre, and Corbin. Having them all in Universal Title Chamber match would make sense but I think they would've announced a match like that by now and I don't think Brock is working this PPV. Unless they have a #1 Contender one for a shot at Fast Lane.

From the emotional Sasha/Bailey celebration of getting in, to the riot squad jobbing to Ronda, to Mella & Naomi just announcing they’re in the match. The build for historic match has been all over the place.

Buddy Murphy vs. Akira Tozawa for the Cruiserweight Title has been added.

I think the Iiconics should be the first tag team champions. Then Bayley and Sasha can win them at WrestleMania for a "WrestleMania Moment".

Looking at the matchup pics on the opening post and I see a lot of wrestlers in the "default" WWE 2K19 standing face front pose.

I'm going to call it now - it comes down to Bryan and AJ, AJ's about to win, DERP!, Sister Abigail, Bryan wins. It would be awesome if Wyatt joins Bryan as an UNDERLING. Go full circle with it. I dont want to see any other scenario.

The underdog betting odds for Ruby could be historic for that match lol

Just as I thought, Becky is really injured and won't be ready for WM.Charlotte will face Ronda in a Non Title Match after The Riot Squad use their numbers advantage to ensure Ruby headlines WM. Only question now is who her opponent will be?

One one hand, I get it, but on the other, aren't they massive jobbers? That's really not getting the belts off to a good start. Honestly, Sasha and Bayley successfully defending the tag belts would be a big moment for them. Sasha's been repeatedly singled out in promos for her ridiculously poor defense history, and you could have her looking rattled, people questioning if she can do it, etc, only for her to break the curse.

And it will be under the Big Top of the McMahon Family Circus, judging by that background.

They could have the Iiconics be the coawardly heel team, that only wins because they're the last ones in, spend most of the time that they're in avoiding everybody, and only win due to Nia getting pissed after being eliminated and attacking Sasha. Unless they're going to do something like Sasha and Bayley vs Trish and Lita at Mania, it's best for a heel team to win via bullshit at EC to give Sasha and Bayley the win at Mania.

If the plan's for WM to end with the WWE Horsewomen on top of the world (Charlotte optional?), then having Banks/Bayley win there and joining Becky when she wins would make for a more impactful visual.

SmackDown will have a gauntlet match this week between the six men in the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match, with the winner entering the Chamber last.

Potentially spoilery stuff for both Smackdown and EC so tagging it {Spoiler}Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com is reporting that Mustafa Ali will likely be pulled from the Elimination Chamber match due to mounting injuries. In addition to an injured tailbone from the Royal Rumble and a swollen eye from last week's Smackdown, Ali had an injury accelerated at Sunday night's live event.
It appears that the current storyline plan is for Randy Orton to be blamed for Ali being pulled from the match. Ali reportedly still wants to work the PPV but WWE doesn't want to take any chances.
There is no word yet regarding a possible replacement for the match.
