It does feel like lots of people are being left off the show, but it also feels like there's no time to make any more Wrestlemania-worthy matches.
One positive thing about leaving so many people off the card: When someone does the "I need to find my ticket to Wrestlemania" story-line next year, it will carry more weight since it turns out some people actually don't make it to the showcase of the immortals.

Supposedly there will be at least 14 matches so a 4th women’s match seems likely. If Jade is not involved in the Damage CTRL situation, they can do a women’s showcase or battle royal type match primarily featuring Jade, Liv, Nia and Tiffany. I’d scrap the Kross/AOP - Lashley/Profits match and put the Andre on the main show including all of those guys plus other men that should be featured like Gable and Bron. With two SmackDowns and one Raw until WrestleMania, I really don't see how they get to 14 matches. There are 10 right now, and I think at most we end at 12 - some sort of multi-person match between The Final Testament and Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits; and something involving Rey Mysterio, Santos Escobar, and all the people who've been floating around that feud. 12 is almost guaranteed based on the Bianca/Naomi-Damage CTRL story and the Rey-Santos feud. Then it’s just a matter of a multi person showcase or battle royal for the men and for the women (which don’t need any build). |

So we know one of...
Angel and Berto or Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate, and the Profits or Waller and Theory will make the tag title match. (ie Dunne/Bate and Waller/Theory.)
This leaves...
Andrade, Bronson Reed, The Creeds, Chad Gable, Dominik, Imperium, Ricochet, Nakamura, The Street Profits, Lashley, Bron Breaker, Dragon Lee, Pretty Deadly, Angel/Berto, Rey, Santos, and Solo Sikoa for the men.
And... Candice, Chelsea, Ivy, Liv, Nia, Shayna, Zoey, The Witches, Asuka/Kairi, Bianca, Jade, Naomi, Tiffany, Zelina at least for the women.
Some multi-man tags between Team Rey and Team Santos, and Lashley's Group vs the Kross Gang will wipe out several of those. But leaves us with at least Nakamura, Ricochet, Gable and Bronson. And maybe Andrade.
Womens is going to need a multi-team tag titles thing. Asuka/Kairi, Zoey/Shayna, Bianca/Naomi and Candice/Indi? Which leaves Liv, Jade, Tiffany.
I think there's room for 4-6 more matches based on EVERY 2 night WrestleMania but they'll all be multi-people matches to get as many on as possible.

I’m very excited about the below matches
Cody/Roman
Cody/Seth vs Rock/Roman
Becky vs Rhea
Iyo vs Bayley
Gunther vs Sami (this could actually be the match of the night it takes place in)
I’m struggling to work up the enthusiasm for everything else that has been announced so far though.
By the way, long time reader, first time post, thanks for having me!

Rock is definitely pinning Cody night 1. I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life. Cody will win night 2 overcoming everything and Roman will blame Rock who now can claim a shot at Cody. It builds Rock vs Roman, Rock vs Cody and a Roman vs Cody rematch

Do a pair of Battle Royales, one on each night, as the opener. One male, one female.
Shove some legends in both, given it's 'Mania, and a 0 ending 'Mania at that.
Good way to get a crowd up, gets lots of people on the card, and a good way to give two people a decent spot as winners.
That's what I'd do anyway.

It builds Rock vs Roman, Rock vs Cody and a Roman vs Cody rematch If Cody and Seth win that tag it might be one of the most shocking Mania results ever. Even a lot of fans of them probably want them to lose so it makes night 2 more exciting. It would be strange to tease a big overbooked attitude era style finale then instead the faces just win night 1 and night 2 is a regular match with no shenanigans. And would also be weird for Cody to win a Mania main event and close the show on top a night before the biggest moment of his career. Surely you save his celebration for then and don't do a mini-one the previous night. I don't think Roman will blame Rock though. I'm expecting the opposite. Roman loses on night 2 then on Smackdown is finally humbled by defeat a bit and accepts Cody deserved it to hint at a face turn then Rock will be the one like hey I did my job I won us the tag night 1 and stacked the deck in your favor night 2 but you failed. Then Rock beats him down and Roman is written out for a while before returning down the line as a face looking for revenge. |

If Paul retains, I wonder if WWE will ever test the waters and do a Bad Bunny vs. Logan Paul for the United States title.
You know this is WWE's ultimate dream for mainstream media with this match.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see that match at SummerSlam (you know they’re going to have Logan Paul in a high-profile match in his hometown) or next year’s WrestleMania. I think the appetite is there among fans who understand that Logan and Bad Bunny are the two best celebrity wrestlers in WWE history, and it would be a huge attraction for the company. |

There is also legit beef between Paul and Bad Bunny over how Logan uses PR. Not sure how enthusiastic Bunny is about working that potential match. |

I'm hoping they knock it out of the park with the arena design this year. It can be a bit hit and miss between them doing cool and interesting sets and them just putting giant screens everywhere, and between how excellent 39 looked and how 10, 20, and 30 all look great I'm hoping they've got something special planned this time.
