I think most will deliver with good crowd responses, but I'm worried about the lack of crowd reactions to the US, Women's tag, Fiend/Orton matches. Maybe E/Crews too, but with E being from Tampa I could see him get pops, but crowd dead when Crews is on offense.

[A Platypus Rave]

Yeah... I think the women's tag is going to be dead... unless they put it out first then it mgiht have a shot just from people excited but... I don't see that lasting.

I think Orton and the Fiend will do fine... especially if Orton remains in his Give a shit mode.

Crews might benefit from Big E being popular... and get booed just becuase he's against him... or he could get Jinder'd and the crowd don't give a crap about anything he does and only react to his opponents.

I feel like the women's tag match is going to be treated like a pseudo Raw after Mania due to the lack of a real one.

Only way Crews is getting a reaction is if he cuts an, "I have my own customs! Look at my crazy passport!" promo immediately before the match.

[fw91]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that even though the bar was set high tonight by the ladies, The triple threat is going to be a better match. For some reason I really have high expectations. for it.

Anyway what's the predictions for the match order?

I'd go

1) Asuka vs Rhea
2) Riddle vs Sheamus
3) Big E vs Apollo Crews
4) Randy Orton vs Fiend
5) Women's Tag
6) K0 vs Sami
7) Triple Threat

[mistery]

Honestly I think the only real upset on the table for tomorrow is Asuka beating Rhea. The typical heel stands tall on the go-home show logic, plus Rhea has only officially been on the main roster for roughly three weeks. I think she'll lose at Wrestlemania, but win MITB so they can build her up at their own pace instead of having to rush this title match.

Bianca has been built up for at least half a year at this point, Rhea has had virtually zero build outside of some pretty awful promos and attacking Asuka (and standing tall every time, but when she was in the tag match, she got whipped), all within a three week period.

So for night two... Can we please not constantly cut to people without masks?

CMM Reports will be back tomorrow with more drunk and zombie movements

Not worried about fan reactions

When they told us to go inside people was chanting we don’t care about lightning let’s start the show

[Deleted]

I'm thinking...

1. Asuka / Rhea
2. Big E / Apollo
3. Women's Tag
4. Riddle / Sheamus
5. KO / Zayn
6. Orton / Fiend
7. Triple threat

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Also good news is that while weather supposed to be shit all day tomorrow

40% chance of rain from 9 on. Most likely going be there until 2am

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

I'm sure the in ring will be good but I'm really only emotionally invested in the triple threat and I think that could be even better than tonight's main event if they all bring it.

[Chiral]

Here's the ideal match order and I will accept no criticism on it:

1. Orton/Fiend
2. Asuka/Rhea
3. Triple Threat
4. Women's Tag
5. Zayn/KO
6. Riddle / Sheamus
7. Big E vs. Apollo
8. Women's Tag Again (60 minute Iron Woman Rematch)

By the 30 minute mark, Tamina has disappeared into dust, Nia's legs have worn down into bleeding nubs, Shayna is on the floor bawling her eyes out, and Natalya's the same as usual.

[john84]

They'll do well to match, let alone top, tonight's show imo because with the exception of the Gauntlet match it was a very enjoyable show for me overall 

[Deleted]

You know the only match that I'm pumped for tonight!

I know it's meant to be a ''regular'' one-on-one match now but SURELY they'll find a way to make us go WTF? 

[Deleted]

Predictions! Last night I got 6-1, thanks to f***ing Natalya and Tamina beating Riott Squad...

One can only hope so. It is kinda written in books now with the crowd that there will not be much cinematics in this one. But it would be so anticlimatic if there weren't at least lights shutting in and out and Alexa's fireballs interference and such. I'm expecting this one to deliver. It will be a normal Fiend match without Alexa Bliss ringside.
