Well, thank goodness it wasn't Tyson Fury or Cain Velasquez.

Honestly between the stuff tonight with Drew and the Edge / Orton segment I'm finding myself actually feeling a lot more optimistic about this show than I was.
... Can we please not have Triple H eat up an hour of it this year?

I am intrigued by Lesnar/Drew as Drew is getting over big in short order
Edge/Orton is going to be a hot match

Assuming it happens, Roman vs. The Fiend should be decent as they have good chemistry. The spotlight for this WM is going to deservedly be on McIntyre, Edge, and Orton though.
Fun bit of nothing, I saw what I think was the first Roman/Bray singles match the night Undertaker stabbed Lesnar in the hand. Good match.

Hopefully Roman vs. Wyatt isnβt just the Fiend eating a billion Superman Punches and Spears.

I think it's going to be very hard to make Reigns / Fiend any good if only because between last night and tonight the crowd's clearly turning on Roman again. Won't mix well with the whole, "Trying to slay the invincible monster," story at all.

Won't mix well with the whole, "Trying to slay the invincible monster," story at all. You'll never be able to push Roman to the main event without some sort of pushback. It was four years of trying to portray the guy as an all time great when he just isn't. Four Wrestlemania main events in a row is such a ridiculous stastic when you consider that it should put him right below Hulk Hogan in the list of all time greats, and decidedly above other all timers like Bret, Rock, and Austin. I've really come to respect Joe Anoa'i as a person in the last year and a half, but I will never buy Roman Reigns as any sort of underdog when his resume befits someone on another level from reality.

First things first, had to put the pointing emoji in there... Would've put a pirate flag in but on computers it comes through as separate black flag and skull emojis.
Secondly... I'm interested in how the undercard will look, because this roster is still stacked as shit (albeit booked like it more often than not). Expecting a lot of multi-man/woman/team bouts here.

I see the pirate logo and get bummed that Kairi isnβt a pirate anymore.

The question remains, what's going on last?

The question remains, what's going on last? At first guess, I'd wager Wyatt v Reigns. It's a complex thing to think of, because this show is a thousand hours long now, you end up thinking that it's better off putting hotter matches on earlier so they get better crowd reactions, at the expense of the gravitas of being in what is essentially the biggest wrestling match of the year.

Could potentially get our first ever British WWE Champion this Mania.
No doubt some out there will try and dispute that because he isnt English.
But I'm not going down that path.
This also means that two thirds of 3MB will have been WWE Champion.
The only one who wouldn't have been would have been the leader of the group and the only one never to have been released by WWE.

The WrestleMania sign keeps getting bigger and bigger. In a few years it's just going to take up the entire space of the whole arena and the wrestlers are going to awkwardly work around it like that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry gets new cabinets

I wonder what the Main Event will be, as in final match?
If Brock/McIntyre, Roman/Fiend and Edge/Orton are the top three matches, to me they all feel very mid card and not marquee, I know its Edge's return and the angle is hot but it shouldnt go on last.

From the marketing it feels like Reigns / Wyatt is planned to be the main event - they're front and center on the current poster while Brock and McIntyre aren't even on it and they keep being grouped together in the promo packages - but that just seems like such a dud of a main event on every level.
I'd say just give it to Brock / Drew, if the feud continues to have the momentum it does now. Though really Edge / Orton would also probably be fine.
