The direction for the IC title should become clear on Raw. If Gunther's dropping the title I'd like it to be to Gable. If Gunther's winning then Sami. Sami's story seems like it should finish with a world title, not the IC, so I'd have him have a super close fight and come up short then build up to a world title match/win during the summer/fall.
Then on Smackdown a lot of other stuff should become clear too. Rock is appearing so his match will likely be made official. Whether the Paul/Orton/Styles/Knight/KO stuff will all be a big gimmick match or multiple singles. Bianca's direction too. I still think she'll face Jade. I can see her cutting a "I've been in the world title match every year since debuting but have no opponent this year" promo and Jade comes out and challenges her to test herself.

So as of now this it what we're looking at projection wise. Give or take maybe throw in an extra guy somewhere for a multi-man match. Imo this seems like a decent card for a one night mania. Two nights makes me feel like we're going to get a lot of underwhelming filler like Rey vs Santos and Lashley and Street Profits vs Final Testament. Sure there's a lot of time left to build up some heat, but I think we're looking at the polor opposite of last year. Last year was a great mania brought down by a bad ending. This year, I think we are looking at a mid tw0 night mania that will be brought up by a great ending.
1) Cody vs Roman 2) Seth vs Drew 3) Rhea vs Becky 4) Bayley vs Io 5) LA Knight vs AJ Styles 6) Jimmy vs Jey Uso 7) Logan Paul vs Randy Orton 8) Judgement Day vs Awesome Truth 9) Gunther vs ?

I truly have a feeling with all the infusion of new talent, Tiffy, Jade and all the ones like Roxy down in NXT. This could be Becky's last title match at a Wrestlemania. I really feel like the changing of the guard is coming for the women and this is the last of Becky's generation, Bayley too, that get title matches at a Wrestlemania. The four horsewomen era is definitely coming to an end in terms of their title shots. So go out in style Becky.

They will handshake or hug 100%. But then the JD come out and turn on RHEA like Hall and Nash did at Wrestlemania X-8 on Hogan. They question her shaking hands with the enemy and kick them out. Next night on Raw, Rhea is free as a solo act and finally gone from the anchor or being in JD. Meanwhile, JD can introduce their new female replacement. Make JD the group to always elevate one female talent like they did Rhea.

I could see the US title match being Logan Paul vs Randy Orton vs Kevin Owens. Maybe a Tag Team showcase to get teams like DIY/Dunne & Bate/Creed Bros./Imperium/New Day/Pretty Deadly on the card.

I would have guessed we'd get the Paul brothers against KO & Sami. So the Orton/Logan stuff kinda shocks me.

I have already put this Hogan Vs Rock scenario out there and IMO it works way better and makes more sense with the IYO and Bayley story. If IYO loses have Dakota and Kabuki Warriors turn on her and then Bayley hesitates at first but then helps IYO fend them off. Or can still do it the other way where IYO wins and the rest of Dmg Cntrl gang attack Bayley but IYO tries to call them off with them not listening and then IYO saves Bayley.

If they keep Dakota Face, you could have a scenario where Dakota and Bayley hug it out in the middle of the ring and then they turn to IYO and offer her their hand with IYO looking torn before she gets dragged out of the ring by Asuka/Kairi very reminiscent to Bayley's Face turn when Bayley & her had that standoff where Asuka/Kairi dragged her out of the ring.

I feel like this show's really missing something that feels really must-see at the moment. Plenty of matches that sound pretty good, but other than maybe Rhea / Becky nothing I expect to wow me.

Since brands don't matter anymore, how about a special attraction match? GUNTHER vs. Randy Orton for the Intercontinental Championship?

Losing Punk and Lesnar hurts a bit of the starpower/attraction type matches, though adding a Rock match to night 1 would help that a lot.
