If they were interested in splitting the tag belts again, they could do something interesting with DIY & Awesome Truth against Judgement Day with the former getting the Smackdown Tag Team Championship and the latter the Raw Tag Team Championship. Maybe even tease some dissention with Dominik & McDonagh expecting one of the tag belts to be relinquished to them when/if the JD team wins.

You could even make it a four way where Dom and JD are the fourth team and take both falls to further breaking the group up.

Most fans tend to measure the quality of a WrestleMania by the number of important matches that are good. An important match being bad doesn't count against it unless it's the main event.
By that, it's hard for WWE to have a truly bad WrestleMania anymore. There's more big matches now at WM now more than ever, and at least a few will deliver.

After Wrestlemania? I don't see Asuka breaking her losing streak at this year's event, sadly.

I mean WWE's four for four on night two being garbage so I kind of have a hard time not seeing them managing to blow it once again some way or other.

After Wrestlemania?
I know it's a smarkbait kind of picture, but I'm skeptical. Awesome Truth seem more likely to be tag champs then than DIY, for one, and if they really were going to have nearly every long-term reign end except for one, I assume the one still going will be Rhea's rather than Gunther's.

Is it too late for heat up Chad again? Or is he simply dead in the water?

I've already decided to skip this year's Mania because I just haven't been able to get invested in the product since last year's.
However, I do feel the need to give kudos for keeping up with the tradition of having the title picture be a bit of a clusterf*** with more than one potential challenger every 10 years.

After Wrestlemania? Eh. I think Awesome Truth win the tag titles, and none of the women's titles changes hands. Otherwise I agree with that image. I don't see any real upside to Bayley winning the title right now as she's already a fully made woman, and having Iyo lose would pretty much cement her as one of the worst women's champions in the past several years. She desperately needs a huge win on a big stage, something she hasn't gotten yet. She's one of their top stars. I am also kinda at the point where I feel like if Iyo, Asuka, and Kairi lose, there's likely some truth behind the rumor that WWE sees ESL speakers as anchors at Wrestlemania, which is why they rarely go over. And in the case of Japanese talents, haven't gone over in any match at Mania in almost 20 years (if not longer) iirc.

The elite eight are set. Champions Reigns, Rollins, Ripley and Sky against challengers Rhodes, McIntyre, Lynch and Bayley.
Now the jostling for the undercard begins.

So who are the biggest question marks now. Sami and KO? Looks like Orton is going to get Logan.

It doesnโt feel like Owens is done with Logan Paul either so maybe thatโs a threeway. Or maybe they do the lazy thing and stick him and Sami back in a tag title match. Iโd like to see Sami vs Gunther.
