What If? Wrestlemania 34

[darthobiwan]

For Wrestlemania 34 which 3 matches should be changed?

[Big Bad Brad]

Asuka, Alexa and Shinsuke winning

[darthobiwan]

Another thing to note here is Carmella still had Womens money in the bank briefcase. So another poll after the matches are decided will determine if she cashes in against 1 of the champions and if she is successful as not.

Nakamura, Asuka and The Bar --- a f***ing kid winning the tag belt just destroyed what little credibility they had left

Looking back now there are 3 different scenarios that would have made more sense than what happened.

1. Braun picks one of the then-NXT guys to make their main roster debut at Wrestlemania and win tag team title (heck most of them were even sitting WITHIN FEET of where he "picked" Nicholas).

2. Braun gets to choose to go ON HIS OWN and dominates to become the SOLE tag team champion.

3. If they still insisted on doing Nicholas situation, Nicholas gets to at least pin either Cesaro or Sheamus at the end instead of just standing on the apron doing nothing, getting tagged in, then tagging out after 10 seconds thing that they did.

2 of the 3 match changes have been decided. 1 more poll needed to decide the last change.

[darthobiwan]

We are LIVE from New Orleans, Louisiana once again like 4 years ago for Wrestlemania 34! Tonight we have 11 main card matches which some of them promise to be memorable.

Opening match is for the Intercontinental title in a triple threat, as Miz defends against Seth Rollins and Finn Balor. The match is a very exciting affair for over 15 minutes. In the end Balor hits Coup De Grace onto Miz, then Seth nails Finn with a curb stomp, then gives another curb stomp to Miz and pins him for Rollins to become NEW Intercontinental champion!

***Second match is for Smackdown Womens title, as champion Charlotte defends against the first ever Female Royal Rumble Winner AND the one who has been undefeated for almost 3 years straight... Asuka. Queen vs Empress! The 2 ladies battle hard for over 20 minutes getting several near falls in. At one point Charlotte traps Asuka in a figure 8... will the Empress tap out? No she does NOT... as she reverses it by turning over and then jumping to grab Charlotte in an Asukalock submission. Charlotte fights for a minute towards the ropes... however the pain is too much and she taps out! Asuka is the NEW Smackdown Womens champion AND Still Undefeated!!!
After the match Charlotte walks off to the back disappointed, as Asuka grabs the mic after being handed the title and says "Charlotte... even you were NOT ready for Asuka!". Then Asuka holds the belt celebrating with the crowd.

Third match is another title match as US title is on the line in a 4 way. Champion Randy Orton vs Jinder Mahal vs Rusev vs Robert Roode. In the end Jinder pins Rusev after a Khallus to win US title.

The first non-title match of the night is the highly anticipated mixed tag team match, in which WWE power couple HHH and Stephanie McMahon go against Kurt Angle, having his first Wrestlemania match in 12 years, and making her in-ring WWE debut... Rhonda Rousey. The 2 men start the match as they tease Rounda getting in several times only for Stephanie to block it by distracting the referee or running around the outside of the ring to trip Rhouda from behind when Kurt is looking to tag her. Finally Kurt is able to tag Rhouda inside, and she immediately goes after Stephanie but yanking her into the ring and doing a series of snapmers onto the billionaire dollar princess. HhH comes in to make a safe, only for Rhouda to get the better of him and punch the Game several times. Kurt is able to catch HHH with a series of suplexes outside the ring, as Rhouda easily gets the better of Stephanie and makes her tap to an armbar. Rhouda and Kurt Angle win!

We come back to another title match as we have Smackdown tag team belts on the line in a triple threat match. Champions Usos vs New Day vs Bludgeon Brothers/formerly of the Wyatt Family. The former Wyatts win the titles when Harper pins Kofi after an sided powerbomb from Rowan.

Next we have a highly anticipated match between John Cena vs Undertaker. Cena comes out first, then lights go out and out comes... Elias??? He plays the guitar, does his singing spiall, then enters the ring and promptly gets beaten up and AAed by Cena. Then the lights go out again... this time it is the Undertaker! After he does his 5 minute entrance, takes the hat and coat off, the bell sounds and Undertaker makes surprising short work of Cena by pinning him after a tombstone in less than 3 minutes! Undertaker is now 24-2!

Next we have a tag team match with Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs Shane McMahon & returning to the ring after a career ending neck injury 3 years ago... Daniel Bryan! KO & Sami must win if they wish to be rehired on Smackdown. In the end the Yes Man proves to be the deciding factor as he makes Sami tap out to Yes Lock for him and Shane to win (and for KO & Sami to stay fired).

Next we have the Raw Womens title match, as Alexa Bliss defends against Nia Jax. Nia is able to overpower Alexa enough to where she pins Alexa after a samoan drop from the second rope, AND Nia is the NEW Raw Womens champion!

***However, while Nia is celebrating holding the title, Carmella runs out with the briefcase and hits Nia in the back with it several times. With Nia weakened Carmella asks to cash in for her title shot. The bell rings and Carmella hits Nia with a DDT onto briefcase... then pins her! Carmella wins Raw Womens title AND is the first Women to cash in Money in the Bank successfully (and at Wrestlemania no less)!!!
Carmella jumps for joy with the belt and moonwalks out of the ring, as Nia looks disappointed/pissed at Carmella, and Alexa has a mean look towards Carmella as if to say "I will get the belt back from you or whoever I need to beat for it".

***Next we have WWE title match, as AJ Styles defends against Royal Rumble winner Shinsake Nakamura. This ends up being a fairly entertaining match as they fight back and forth for 20 minutes. AJ hits Shinsake with a flying forearm for a 2 count, then few minutes later Shinsake nails AJ with Kinshasa for a 2 count. When AJ attempts a second flying forearm, Shinsake pulls the referee in front of him and AJ hits the referee by mistake! Referee is out for a few minutes as AJ and Shinsake continue to fight. AJ catches Shinsake with a paisley kick and then Styles clash, and AJ looks to have the pinfall. However with the referee still down no pin is counted. AJ then checks on the referee, and with him distracted Shinsake sneaks up on AJ and nails him with a low blow! With AJ on his knees and referee just wakening up, Shinsake hits a second Kinshasa kick and pins AJ! Shinsake Nakamura is the NEW WWE champion!!!
After the match Shinsake celebrates with the title by doing his dance routine and bows while smiling towards AJ, while AJ looks at him betrayed by the outcome.

Next we have the Raw tag team title match, as Bar defend against Braun Strowman and a partner of his choosing. Out of all the available WWE wrestlers and NXT guys (they were even shown in the crowd while Braun was "looking for a partner") he chooses a 10-year old boy named Nicholas??? The boy just stands there looking scarred as Braun dominates on his own and pins Cesaro after a running powerslam for him and Nicholas to become tag team champions.

***Main event is for Universal title, which sees Brock Lesnar defending against Roman Reigns. To most of the crowd this match is a bit "boring" as it just sees Brock suplexing Roman several times until he does an F5 but Roman kicks out. Brock F5s Roman 1... 2... 3... 4 more times but Roman kicks out each time! Roman then hits him with a spear (out of nowhere) for a 2 count. Roman hits a second spear for another 2 count. Finally Roman hits a third spear for the pinfall!
Roman Reigns is NEW Universal champion!!!
After the match, Paul Heyman looks to be crying as Brock walks to the back and Roman holds the Universal title up to a mixture of cheers and boos!

Fantasy booking until Wrestlemania 35...

With the first Saudi Arabia show coming up (Greatest Royal Rumble), Brock challenges Roman to a steel cage match for Universal title, which Roman accepts.

I speak NO English", and just walks to the back. Later that night AJ Styles is seen in the back talking with GM Daniel Bryan to do something about Shinsake winning the title "unfairly".
