Every two day Wrestlemania has had at least fourteen matches so I expect a few more multi person matches added to the card yet. I think we get: Naomi/Bianca vs Kabuki Warriors LWO vs Legado (maybe just Rey v Santos (+ Dragon Lee?)) Kross + AOP (maybe + Scarlett) vs Lashley + Street Profits (maybe + B Fab) Dominik v Andrade (?) Random Woman showcase match with teams of whoeverβs left Pretty confident in at least the first 3, or permeations of those ones. This would leave some big names like Nakamura off entirely so idk maybe Andre the Giant Battle Royal on Smackdown or something?

That first one may get changed a bit given what happened to Asuka on Smackdown.

The non-injured tag partner gets to hold try outs. Chelsea learns from Piper, and says, "I'm your new partner". Then we get hilarious new duo of Chelsea and Kairi.

Any two members of the No Quarter Catch Crew will be able to defend the titles for Asuka/Kairi.

Man, im not sold on Jimmy vs jey. The confrontation at the Royal Rumble fell flat. The big problem is that while Jey is Main Event Jey Uso, Jimmy is Roman's Bitch. On paper, such a mismatch has no business being at 'mania, and WWE have had the match locked in at this 'mania since Summerslam last year at least. But since then, instead of building up Jimmy to somewhere close to the level of Jey, it feels like Jey, who hasn't won a singles match on PPV since leaving The Bloodline, has fell off to the level of Jimmy. It should be a huge match, but instead it just feels like a match to tick off the list and something to do before Jey really starts his singles run. The segment on RAW kind of sold me.

I would love if they busted out some green ropes for this show. WM24 had the orange ropes for the sunny Florida theming, and this year has an overall green/silver theme, so it would be fun if they did that. I remember getting that Jakks Ring Gear SummerSlam ring apron set that came with fictitious green ropes, and it made me wish they did more with the rope colors for special events.

I read somewhere a (possibly apocryphal) story that basically said WWE uses white ropes because they contrast well with the darkly-lit crowd and draw the viewers' eyes to what's happening in the ring. I guess the theory is that the red, blue, or black ropes blended into the crowd, especially when they would bathe the audience in red or blue spotlights, but the white pops for the viewers in the arenas or at home.

I don't care what anything says.Nothing is a bigger eye-sore to me than those bright yellow TNA ropes. It looks like the ring is surrounded by police tape from a crime scene.

I like that everyone isn't on their own island with their Mania opponent like sometimes happens. Sometimes a match is set then for 2 months you get promos between the feuding people every week and they don't interact with anyone else and they end up saying everything they could possibly say weeks and weeks before the PPV has even arrived.
This year feels very chaotic like 97-99 when you'd have like Bret still battling Sid and Taker despite Austin being his main feud or Foley playing a big role in the Rock/Austin stuff. I liked Cody making the save and still being cool with Jey on Raw. The main crux of the show is all connected with Roman/Cody/Rock/Seth/Drew/Jey/Jimmy. Becky has battled through Nia and Liv and hasn't had any rest before facing Rhea. Bayley v IYO is incorporating the rest of Damage CTRL, Bianca, Naomi and the tag division. JD is involved with the whole men's tag division. Gable is still in Sami and Gunther's area and didn't just cease to exist.
AJ v Knight and the US title match are the matches that seem to kind of exist in their own universe without much overarching and it might just be coincidence but they're the matches I'm least interested in. I was hoping for Knight v Paul for the US title. Even Paul v Randy I think would've been better. Kinda like the Roman title match at the Rumble were I think the singles match v Orton would've felt like a bigger deal than doing the multi-man.

In an email promoting WWE World at WrestleMania, it was announced that Randy Orton would be a part of Saturday's festivities, while Rhea Ripley would be at the event on Sunday.
Using context clues, I think it's safe to assume that means that the United States Championship triple threat will be on Sunday and the Ripley-Lynch match will be on Saturday.

Using context clues, I think it's safe to assume that means that the United States Championship triple threat will be on Sunday and the Ripley-Lynch match will be on Saturday. Think the latter was already probably a very safe bet with both men's title matches on Sunday. It is by far the more notable of the two women's matches so it makes sense to have it be the singles match anchor for night one.

very happy with what they added for the build to Knight/Styles, something as basic as that home video stuff adds a lot. hopefully theyβll be given the time to just brawl.
it would be really cool if they were allowed to go all hardcore holly/al snow with it or something live with shades of the boneyard match, suits them both very well

Taking a stab at night/match order: Night 1: 1. IYO v Bayley 2. Tag title ladder match 3. Knight v Styles 4. Gunther v Sami 5. Men's showcase/battle royal (Bron to win) 6. Rhea v Becky 7. Roman & Rock v Cody & Seth Night 2: 1. Jey v Jimmy 2. Women's showcase/battle royal (Tiffany to win) 3. Team Rey v Team Santos 4. Rollins v Drew 5. Damage CTRL v Jade, Bianca & Naomi 6. US title triple threat 7. Roman v Cody Jey/Jimmy feels like a good chance to open a night. Jey gets the crowd so hyped it would be a good way to kick things off. Styles/Knight and/or LWO/Legado stuff will probably get some kind of street fight/no DQ gimmick. In an email promoting WWE World at WrestleMania, it was announced that Randy Orton would be a part of Saturday's festivities, while Rhea Ripley would be at the event on Sunday. Using context clues, I think it's safe to assume that means that the United States Championship triple threat will be on Sunday and the Ripley-Lynch match will be on Saturday. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but Rhea having a signing on Sunday makes me think she's winning her match on Saturday (which I was expecting anyway). It would be a bit weird for a heel to have a big world title loss then be smiling and posing for photos like 12 hours later.

They keep freaking teasing Bianca vs. Tiffany. Itβll be disappointing if it doesnβt happen at this point.

I'm guessing we're getting Rey and Andrade versus Santos and Dom in some kind of wager match (Hair/Mask vs. Hair/Hair).
It's a shame many girls will miss the show; they should've introduced a women's IC title and had Liv, Tiffany, Naomi, Dakota, Nia, and Chelsea involved. Throw in Kabuki Warriors against Bianca and Jade, and the already confirmed title matches, and that'd be a stacked WrestleMania for the women's division.

If The Rock uses his fanny pack in the Tag Match, would that be cause for a DQ?
