It's official. If this is an official image, it's interesting that they just list Roman as "The WWE Champion" as though the Universal Championship is just fully unified/inactivated.

They should have the Rock rock bottom Seth on Monday Night Raw and Priest cash in setting up Rock & Roman vs. Cody and Seth on Night 1, so an injured Rollins doesn't have to wrestle twice and defend his title on Night 2.

It's likely just in the interest of looking better being more condensed on the poster. They use this image on the writeup for the match on the site but in the article still call the belt by the full name.

So we likely continue the trend of ending the 10th show with a multi-man program won by the workhorse?

Sami Zayn wins the World Heavyweight Title against McIntyre/Rollins and is held up by the Raw babyfaces... only for a bitter looking Kevin Owens to stare him down from entrance way ala Owen at WM10.

The Cody/Roman graphic of them facing off gives me WrestleMania 28 vibes.

I'm thinking of a team Hunter (KO, Sami, AJ, Ricochet, Nakamura), all but AJ are black and gold NXT guys, against team Rock (Jimmy, Solo, Theory, Waller, Lashley), Jimmy and Solo self-explanatory, Theory and Waller are just shitbag heels and Lashley is doing it for a future title shot, match to take place with control of the company as the stipulation. It would be a good way to get the upper midcard who aren't in a title hunt on the card.
AJ cements his heel turn by costing team Hunter the match.

Looks as though we're getting Seth Rollins defending the WHC at WM against a to-be-determined winner of the Elimination Chamber match.

Kind of confuses me we’re getting a one-on-one WHC match, when it seemed ripe to have three or more.
Either way, I’ll be shocked if ‘ol DP doesn’t finally cash in.

Yeah I’m not sure what exactly the WHC is going to look like. It’s possible they just have someone like Orton take Punk’s place and face Rollins one on one, and do Drew-Sami in a grudge match that Sami finally wins.

I’m not sure Drew/Sami is a Mania match given they just did it on Raw. I had never thought of the team HHH vs. Team rock thing but that may be where it’s going. Or Team Pearce vs. Team Aldis.

Weird rumor I had read somewhere was Zayn/KO vs. the Paul brothers at Mania.

My main concern: get Bayley (and me) the Paramore entrance performance she’s been begging years for!

I am so ridiculously hyped for Cody/Roman II. There really is something in the air about this ME and this WrestleMania. They say “the biggest WrestleMania of all time” every year, but this one actually feels it.
Anyway, was looking up music video packages. There’s a TON of “My Way” tributes. But I feel that doesn’t really fit them.
Love this though.
I know Cody’s theme was shot towards WWE/Hunter but a lot of “Kingdom” hits with Cody and Roman’s story.
Call me crazy, Call me overzealous. But like with a lot of Cody’s career, it feels serendipitous. Like everything’s led to this. Just give me something other than The Weekend Please

Had a long shower and put my booking cap on. I'm going to assume that anyone still off TV (Rey, Sheamus, Braun etc) won't make it on time.
Night 1
Tag titles: Judgement Day (c) v Awesome Truth
Miz & Truth win, Priest and Finn bicker after the match with Priest shoving Finn to the floor.
Women's tag titles: Kabuki Warriors (c) v Bianca & Jade
Maybe a bit too early for a Mania singles bout for Jade so team her up with her future rival, have her work a match with three of the best women wrestlers today and get a title on her early doors. The mega powers can explode in time for WM41.
Iron Survivor Match for a woman's title match at Backlash: Naomi v Liv v Tiffany v Nia Jax v Michin
This match is going to make it to Mania eventually. Story is that Tiffany is unsurprisingly a big Francophile and eager to do anything to get on the plane.
Loser leaves WWE: Drew McIntyre v Sami Zayn
If Drew is AEW bound this is how to write him off TV. If not then you can have Sami start from the bottom (perhaps under a mask?) to begin a comeback story that finishes with a title at WM41. If the former then Cult of Personality plays during the match distracting Drew allowing him to walk into a helluvakick.
Intercontinental Championship: Gunther (c) v Jey Uso v Dominic
I know he's over but I just don't think Jey is reliable enough to carry this program as sole challenger. Gunther's 600+ day reign being ended by the unlovable underdog Dom is karma for how humorless and callous he has been during his reign.
Raw Women's Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) v Becky Lynch
I'd have Rhea retain, it'd put Judgement Day in a very strong position post Mania because...
World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins (c) v Randy Orton
Priest cashes in mid match to carry on the X-ending Mania's having a 3-way tradition and to give Seth a taste of his own medicine for 9 years ago. New champ and JD have WC, IC and Women's gold - a good day at the office for them.
Night 2
Iron Survivor Match for a tag title match at Backlash: Dunne/Bates v DIY v Alpha Academy v Street Profits v The New Day
No idea who wins this.
US Championship: Logan Paul (c) v LA Knight
Could see Paul hiring Pretty Deadly as his goons (its better than his YouTube friends for heaven's sake) and botched interference gives us a happy title change.
Smackdown Women's Championship: Bayley v Iyo Sky (c)
Bayley's got to win this surely? She makes Sky tap to the Bank Statement in a nod to her mate "down south".
Winner controls WWE: Team Hunter (KO, Andrade, AJ, Ricochet, Nakamura) v Team Rock (Jimmy, Solo, Theory, Waller, Lashley)
Mentioned above, a nice bit of drama and gets everyone on the card. Team Rock wins so HHH can take a much needed vacation and Mr. Maivia can make Stone Cold Cody Rhode's life difficult post-Mania.
Bragging Rights match: Aldis v Pearce
Cools the crowd down for the ME, gives two guys that deserve it a spotlight after years of hard work.
WWE Championship/Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) v Cody Rhodes
An overbooked mess as everyone on the Samoan periodic table who can still walk interferes. The face locker room long since sick of Roman's shit empties for Cody to even things. Eventually Solo hits the spike but Cody ducks and it hits Roman, Cross Rhodes, story finished, fireworks and so on.
