Updated the OP to add the matches thus far and switch the earlier-announced matches to the newer graphic style. With the whole thing pretaped anyway I really have no earthly idea why this is two nights. Maybe to get as many wrestlers on the card as possible? The only big multi matches they tried are the Smackdown women's match and the Smackdown tag team match. We'd probably have a few more of those types of matches and the two battle royals otherwise.

I suppose, but that would make for one long time consuming card even for a current Mania. Plus, they have no Takeover or Hall of Fame ceremony now.

I think the point is it will be longer than the 5.5 hours that last yearβs main show was. Plus, because thereβs no crowd, I think Vince wanted to make it feel special in some way and make it the βfirst time everβ of two nights. Same as how last year they changed the main event to Winner Take All just a couple weeks out.

Wrestling without a crowd is going to be lame and cringe I donβt think so, the weekly shows have been pretty good since they changed the look up last week so that the hard camera faces the stage.

Yeah, I think the matches and shows have felt greatly different than ever before. Would watch it like this for month or two at least. Might get boring after a while in WWE iif and when this lasts for months if not shut down altogether.

Yeah this is honestly the most I've looked forward to a Mania in years. Not because I think it'll be good, it has a hell of an uphill battle to even reach "ok" levels. But for the sure WTFery of it all.
This will be something quite interesting to look back on and hear podcasts about in the future.

"Yeah, wrong call". Not so much beyond that. ESPECIALLY if any talent/crew involved get sick and vented.

Considering I'm going to be essentially quarantined in my room when I'm not at work for the next two weeks, I'll be looking forward to something to watch. Give me two nights of this.

Unless I'm just blind I'm surprised full spoilers haven't leaked out yet.

Unless I'm just blind I'm surprised full spoilers haven't leaked out yet. Considering it's all done in a closed setting with only essential WWE crew members present, anyone spoiling the show is probably playing with fire, since the only ones who would be able to spoil it are WWE employees.

Have they confirmed which matches are on which days yet? All I've seen is that Owens/Rollins is on Saturday.

This just might the the weirdest Wrestlemania ever. Just wait until Becky stakes Shayna through the heart and Shayna turns to dust. I refuse to let them off the hook for turning Shayna into a vampire for one night.

We're at 16 matches announced and hopefully there won't be any more. Really think probably at least half of these could be cut without losing anything of worth anyway.
I felt sorely tempted after Raw to change the OP to list everyone by their real name but I figured it better not to.

No disrespect but if Dolph Ziggler V Otis is one of your matches and youβre using unknown to mass audience evolve wrestlers as replacements then your show is definitely not βtoo big for one nightβ

Glad theyβre getting a one-on-one. This yearβs card is a welcome change from prior years where every match is either a βmain eventβ or a cluster with a bunch of guys or gals thrown in (including battle royals).

Under normal circumstances, would you all say this is a good or bad card?

Under normal circumstances, would you all say this is a good or bad card? I'd say mixed, not the most thrilling thing but plenty of room to deliver. Ignoring the unannounced changes and assuming stuff had actual build, Drew / Lesnar, Becky / Shayna, Cena / Fiend, Edge / Orton, the SmackDown tag title match, Zayn / Bryan, the women's tag match, and Black / Lashley all have the potential to deliver. Most of the rest is.. not great to say the least, but the only things that'd really be screaming disaster to me under normal circumstances are Taker / Styles (mostly because of how broken down they both are at this point, since at a point in time that could've been amazing) and Elias / Corbin which will at least probably be short.

Under normal circumstances, would you all say this is a good or bad card? Iβd say itβs a very strong card. I assume it would have been kept to one night and a lot of the random matches would have been included in the battle royals or put on the Kickoff Show. But Edge-Orton, Drew-Lesnar, Roman-Goldberg, Cena-Fiend, Taker-Styles, Becky-Shayna, Rhea-Charlotte, Seth-KO, Otis-Ziggler, Zayn-Bryan and the SD Tag Title Ladder Match all make for a good mix of star power, work rate and storytelling.
