I don't know if anyone else has predicted this but I'm saying Steph will be special referee in the womens title match. Jesus, God, no, please no. I hate special referee angles anyway outside of Dean's one that time a couple of years ago (and even that I ain't rewatching given who it involves) but this time? No, no, no, no. We didn't even need Charlotte, goddammit. So is there any chance Miz / Shane isn't the worst match on this card? It's set up to be terrible already because of Shane's 'best in the world' shtick being taken remotely seriously. He is being put over as a more believable threat in his 40s as a gassed, sweaty, old man than he was in his youth as a babyfaced asshole that got thrown off things, and I hate it. I want Miz to brutalise this motherf***er. ...I still think it'll probably be better than Brock/Rollins. And I mark for Roman now but if they seriously put him with Drew or Corbin I'm not expecting much. The rumor I'd heard was Bayley & Sasha vs. Raw Team vs. SmackDown Team vs. either legends or an NXT team. So I assume it's probably going to be Bayley & Sasha vs. Nia & Tamina vs. IIconics vs. Divas of Doom. Son of a bitch, if they do a Fatal Fourway, then we're definitely not getting Trish and Lita in the match. Because there's no way that WWE would have Trish and Lita face off against Sasha and Bayley for the tag straps in a Fatal Fourway. It wouldn't have been a technical masterpiece, but I want Trish and Lita vs Sasha and Bayley. Apparently they want to make Evolution annual, so it could still happen. So at the moment, to me it's looking like... Ronda / Becky / Charlotte Seth / Brock Triple H / Batista Bryan / Kofi / maybe Owens Angle / Cena Roman / McIntyre Lashley / Balor Miz / Shane Orton / Styles Bayley & Sasha / Nia & Tamina / Divas of Doom / possibly IIconics Asuka / Lacey or Asuka defending the title in a clusterf***. Maybe as the battle royal. Joe / Ali / maybe Owens Revival / Black & Ricochet Usos / Hardys / maybe New Day / maybe Machkamura Andre Murphy / who cares ... Man, only like half of that is stuff I at all care about. And that's a really damn busy show, even last year only had 14 matches while this is 16. Shit, we'd better pack a lunch for this one... and maybe a dinner and a breakfast, too. Why, is Mr. T showing up? Hiyooo! Stephen Amell tweeted about HHH/Batista and he called it a "celebrity feud," and...........and that's just so odd to consider this even though it basically is... That was his entire joke. Batista didn't take too kindly to it either and Amell seemed really bummed that his joke didn't get over. I'm pretty bummed too.

They might even pull the Austin Vince heel turn handshake. Then there's also the visual of the first ever women's main event having a Mcmahon in there when it gets covered by the media. I'll be VERY surprised if it doesn't happen.

Seriously, why do we have to be subjected to Miz/Shane and HHH/Batista. Do Shane & HHH really think they are Undertaker levels of "attraction" to be competing every year at Mania. No one gives a shit!

You know, as much as I shit on like 90% of what the WWE does these days, I have to admit that this Mania's 'main events' (i.e. the big 4 matches they give the most promotion to) are the most appealing since maybe WM30?
Kofi/Bryan and Ronda/Charlotte/Becky are genuinely exciting for me (even if the triple threat's build has been ass), Seth/Brock has the potential to be very good judging on Brock's recent history with smaller opponents and Batista/Triple H may be overbooked and self-indulgent, but so was the mixed tag match last year and that was the best match on the card. Also I just love Batista so I'm looking forward to it.

Have you watched Wrestlemania the last 10 years? That's been its MO. Unfair to put AJ and Orton, both fulltime guys, in with that group too.

Since it's no holds barred you know it's going to be a weapon fest that'll end with HHH hitting him with a hammer and winning and Batista just accepting it and then admitting HHH is the greatest ever for some reason and raising his hand.

Wrestlemania... HHH has made his spectacular entrance already. Batista starts his entrance, but before making his way to the ring, stops and addresses HHH:
Batista: Hey, Hunter, I know DX are hanging around and they're gonna interfere once I gain the upper hand, so I brought a little backup of my own! Gamora! HHH: Dana, I know you were desperate to get on the show, but you really shouldn't have let him paint you green. Batista: Rocket Raccoon! HHH: You borrowed that from Ambrose. The clothes are a nice touch though and also explain why Dean was covered in scratches. Batista: Groot! HHH: Yep, that's a tree that you've rigged up as a puppet. Don't deny it, I can see the strings. Batista: Star-Lord! HHH: Who? *A dejected Chris Pratt turns round and walks backstage* Batista: and Drax! HHH: Isn't that you? Batista: Yes, now stay right there, I'll be back in five hours after I've got my makeup done.

I think it's super unfair to include Orton in on that. He's still mostly full-time, he's still extremely capable, and he's younger than AJ is.

Would anyone complain if it turned out Asuka's been doing nothing because the plan had always been for Charlotte to get dropped from the Raw match and decide to go after the Smackdown title?

Maybe a little? I dunno, I wouldn't mind if they did that, it's a match I'd a lot rather see and it beats pretty much any alternative ideas out there for Asuka, but I would be rather annoyed at waiting until three weeks before the show to shift gears on it. Although that would certainly not be the first time they weirdly backpedalled like that, like spending months building up Ryback vs. the Shield only to last minute change to him losing to Mark Henry.

At this point, I'm too invested in Charlotte's story in her side of the match to have her drop out. It sucks for Asuka, who totally deserves better than whatever slapdash build they come up with.

WWE had a legitimate shot at have 2 of the biggest Women's matches ever in the USA (right?) on one ahow with Lynch vs. Rousey and Charlotte vs. Asuka 2, but nope Vince or mostly likely Dunn I feel like just had to fiddle around.
