Match of the Night? I think so. Seriously.

Anyone else get the strong feeling that the Tag Title match will be changed? After RAW it just seems logical to me that it will be
Divas & Tag Team Championship:
Kaitlyn & Team Hell No vs. AJ, Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston

And personally, I would like that very much.

I think it depends on how the mania matches time out. If they feel that they are short on time, they might just combined those 2 feuds into 1 match. Thought my preference will be a divas singles match, a mixed tag won't bother me at all.

So it seems likely that the WHC won't be the first match, to preserve suspense Re: Ziggler. Like him coming out after the WHC match for the tag match would just be awkward or disappointing. That's kinda cool, right?

[yeetman13]

^^ they should do that.. have AJ, Dolph and Big E win the titles.. and then Dolph cashes in after ADR retains and also wins that.. so then they would have a bunch of titles in their small faction.. kinda like when HBK and Diesel had Tag Titles and other title i believe

I got the new issue of WWE Magazine today and it has an "Ultimate Guide" to this year's show. Of particular interest is a section on WWE building the WrestleMania set, including how it plans to deal with less-than ideal temperatures on April 7. (I'll put it in a spoiler tag, in case you want to find out for yourself.)

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}They're installing heaters underneath the ring. The stage set will also be heated.

From what the article says, it sounds like WWE is using a different type of center structure over the ring this year, again taking weather into account.

good, im glad we get an ic title match at mania.
should be a good match too.

Good to see Miz and Wade make the card; though I'm curious about the time management as its been 3 years since we had over 8 matches at Mania. Guess the lack of a musical performance (at least not yet) and one of the major matches perhaps being shorter than expected (Punk/Taker maybe?) could explain it.

WrestleMania Pre-show.

Well I can definitely see a battle royal and something with Cesaro on there. Its not out of the question that they could bump Miz/Barrett to the pre-show, but these days they typically announce that in advance, like they did with the triple threat tag title match from last year.

They'll probably announce the Pre-show matches on the last Raw before WrestleMania.

I can't imagine Punk-Taker taking up as much time as HHH-Taker from last year, especially when you factor in the extremely long post-match from last year. I think they took up about an hour last year.

The Jericho/Fandango match is a real wildcard there, it could be anything between 10 minutes and 18 seconds.

You think Jericho/Fandango will get at least 10 minutes? I could see it as a comedy squash.

[misconduct was wrong]

You know I actually see Ryback/Henry being the really fast match. A couple high impact moves straight to an (attempted) Shellshock.

Are the completely dead reactions Del Rio has gotten for a couple weeks now indicative of a failed feud, or his horrible music I wonder.

I really get the feeling that this WM crowd is gonna crap over most of the card.

It's the feud IMO. Del Rio's feud with show was fantastic and he was over. This swagger feud he was alright for the first what month? I've been saying this feud was killing his momentum. Also to be fair the crowds have sucked for a good month and everyone has been complaining about it. The last universally good crowd was at elimination chamber and del rio got a great reaction there. I won't get worried until he gets a sh*tty response from a hot crowd. Ny/nj is a mixture of people also a pretty large hispanic population but who knows what smarks may do. I don't think del RIO is doing anything wrong as a face. He's having great matches damn near every week. I think he'll be ok in the long run...hopefully

Well, what's left to book now? I think Barrett v Miz for the IC Championship will be the last match added to the main card, while Brodus/Tensai/Funkadactyls v Rhodes/Sandow/Bella Twins and Cesaro defending the US Championship in either a battle royal or a lumberjack match get on the 1 hour YouTube preshow.

Yeah, that seems logical and they'll either add Kaitlyn as Team Hell No's counter to AJ or they'll turn it into a six person tag with both the Tag and Divas' Championships on the line.

Also, while I'm super pumped for Jericho/Fandango, I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be this year's squash.

I really, really hope that isn't a yearly Mania tradition now. WWE made a cool thing cliche with the yearly wacky Rumble elimination save (lol Kofi is jumping on a chair ), we don't need to see them drive an already lame concept further into the ground. As someone who traveled a total of 40 hours in 4 days to attend that show last year...it really does not feel good.
