Should note, Ryback legitimately believes WWE and Twitter are working together to hide his "actual" total number of followers and conspiring to not give him his 'blue check verification' cause they are scared of what he says HAHAHAHAHA!!

Updated forecast has removed that possible 9pm storm. Holy shit, they might pull this off.
(Should’ve just used my strategy and announced a Formula 1 race to happen. Any time there’s forecast rain, it NEVER falls until after the race)

Interesting little tidbit from Big E's appearance on Busted Open.
He mentioned that Asuka deserves a major win tonight more than any other performer, and that WWE needs to stop holding her down. Because there will never be a performer like her again, and its criminal that she has been treated this poorly despite being the most valuable asset to WWE during this pandemic. He also mentioned she would fly out to Orlando with little notice and on her own dime to help WWE if needed.

I mean, to me, you’re the temperature weirdos. Water boils at 100 degrees, mate, it isn’t just inconveniently hot. Water doesn't boil at 100 degrees Celcius! It's dependent on outside factors like altitude and atmospheric pressure. So you are also wrong -_- and for personal preference I find Farenheit is far superior when dealing with air temperature as it gives a much wider range of livable Temperatures. ... wait what was this thread about again?

I will say that I don’t think it’s AS imperative that Ripley wins here as it was for Belair to win last night. I’d be perfectly fine with it, but Ripley’s picked up a decent bit of gold along the way already, and she’s only JUST started on her proper main roster run. She just needs to hold her end of the deal with Asuka and they’ll have a great match. Belair, meanwhile, had come up short so many times already and only had the Rumble win this year as her first big accolade. She needed that. As for Asuka, this is one of the last things left on the career bucket list, and this is her best and possibly last chance to tick it off, because I’m not sure she may be regularly in the singles title scene come future WMs, so that would leave her in the lottery of the tag titles or the battle royal.

I think ultimately Rhea would benefit more from losing right now than winning. It gives her a lot more direction as a character going forward.

Monday Night Wrestlemania would've been cool.
You combine Raw and the Raw after Mania vibe.

$5 says the canopy over the ring has been modded to cover ringside and they rig up a massive lightning rod in the parking lot or something. Speaking of lightning rods, I know it was brought up last night, but someone should really have a talk with Drew about not holding a giant f***ing metal sword in the air when storms are around. Like, you're not Raiden. It's fine, he knows that if he gets killed by lightning in front of thousands of screaming fans in a decade someone will turn him into a zombie so that he can save Saga.

Pretty much how I feel. If Asuka doesn't win tonight, I don't think she ever will get a title win at Mania. It doesn't help that she is approaching the age where WWE starts treating the women like garbage either. She is turning 40 later this year. Plus like others have mentioned, Rhea doesn't really benefit as much. She struggled to get over last year, and her NXT Women's title reign was already on life support even before she lost it to Charlotte. People were calling on her to lose it to Bianca or Io. Not to mention this feud is rushed. And if Asuka loses, she looks like a massive loser because she got jumped twice by Rhea. Even though Rhea got destroyed by Asuka on the mic. I would have Rhea lose and then win MITB and build her up at a slower pace instead of hotshotting her right to the title.

But like... while it's happening they still treat her like an after thought... hell Wrestlemania this year was supposed to be Charlotte vs. Lacey.... when Asuka was champion for almost a year... and the main storyline I remember from her reign was playing second fiddle to Charlotte in the Women's tag division, while Charlotte and Lacey were feuding. And being part of the reason why Bayley and Sasha finally feuded after 400 years >_>

Renee Young makes her triumphant return to Watch Along tonight!
As does Cathy Kelley for the second time in a week!

I’ve made the analogy before that she’s the Bret Hart of the division. The most consistent and reliable worker they have, who they’ll give the belt to keep warm while they try and build up their next big project. It’s a bit of a thankless role, and I can only hope they respect her enough for that in some way.

Anyone else want Roman to smoke the other two? Yes

I feel like she's in a role below what Bret Hart was in that she's only pushed whenever plans go awry. It's why I think its a shame she's very likely losing tonight, because this is her last real chance at getting a good Wrestlemania moment. And if she decides to retire without getting a major win at the event itself, it'll leave a pretty massive stain on her legacy. And I feel like she's definitely getting pushed down the card once Becky returns, and probably never sniff an actual singles title on the main roster again.

Main event is tough for me... I think Roman needs to lose... but... I think he should do it to an upcoming new super face...
not a returning Legend or one of their biggest faces that is likely retiring soon... I guess it could be be the like Luger beating Hogan... but that didn't happen AT Starcade.

It was announced on The Bump, but The Fiend vs Randy Orton is opening Night 2.

I still think Bryan wins (beating Edge) for the happy ending, and then drops it back to Reigns by the end of summer with Reigns just absolutely murderising him. Stretcher job, blood, the works, sending that man into retirement and showcasing how violent Reigns is willing to get when he’s actively PISSED and not just being an arrogant dick.
