That stage looks like something WWE would use in 2003
We just need Trapt to sing the official song now

Old School Raw 1 IIRC
Meltzer had reported a couple days ago that he's booked to be on the show.
IC match is the only one where it makes sense. I can't imagine how they'll make it not horrible.
Ah ok. That's when I still wasn't watching wrestling.
With the budget cuts to all things that are stage production, we should be happy it's not a slightly altered RAW stage.

It looks better in the dark...which it won't be for 90% of the show. Meh stage...and meh to it being a mostly daytime event.
If wrestlemania ends like this, the company dies not long after.
I agree. I just hope the matches don't all turn out to be shit.
Who am I kidding? 
Okay, predictions:
Tag Team Titles: Tyson Kidd & Cesaro vs. The New Day vs. Los Matadores vs. The Usos Tyson Kidd and Cesaro to regain the titles tomorrow.
Andre the Giant Battle Royal (Participants: The Miz, Curtis Axel, Ryback, Fandango, Adam Rose, Zack Ryder, Jack Swagger, Titus ONeil, Darren Young, Big Show, Kane, Erick Rowan, Damien Mizdow, Sin Cara, Goldust, Heath Slater, Mark Henry, Konnor, Viktor, Hideo Itami & More!) Most of these people don't matter, Hideo could.
AJ Lee & Paige vs. Nikki & Brie Bella - Faces go over Heels, after all. I do hope they get a decent amount of time, I'm surprisingly into this feud. AJ vs. The Bellas has been absolutely toxic, good stuff.
Intercontinental Title Ladder Match: Bad News Barrett (vs. Sheamus) vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Luke Harper vs. R-Truth vs. Stardust - Either Bryan or Sheamus wins this one. It's hard to pick between those two, but since Bryan is officially in this match and he's such a big fan favorite and getting a win over Sheamus is gonna drive the crowd wild, I'm going with him.
Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins - Orton needs to win this to end this feud, given Rollins has to move on after tonight, more on that later. Should be a great and brutal match, was expecting a stip match, tbh.
United States Title: Rusev vs. John Cena - This is my pick for the likely Match of the Night. Feud has been great, Rusev has been amazing. Cena must win, of course, but that's fine. Hopefully the US title gets elevated and not dropped quickly by Cena post-Mania.
The Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt - I care absolutely nothing about this match. Honestly. Bray has been a dud for about a year now, which is a shame, but it is what it is. Old Man Taker means nothing now that the streak is done. But I'll admit I've never been the biggest Undertaker fan, so maybe that has something to do with it. Next year should be Taker vs. Cena. Fantasy booking wise, I'd have Cena be the US champion for the entire next year, then Taker comes back and he puts his career on the line for a shot against Cena for the belt. Cena vs. Taker at Mania really does need to happen.
Sting vs. Triple H - Build could have been better, but I love that he gets to perform at Mania finally. I know many people aren't expecting much, but I'm sure Sting and Trips can make this match real special. Should be fun. I do hope we get Sting's Crow Theme instead of the WWE song this year, or at least part of it during his entrance.
WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns - Reigns wins, Lesnar kills him and Rollins cashes in. Now that Lesnar re-signed everyone expects him to win, which I doubt he will. He loses after that Heyman/Reigns alignment and the double turn. Destroys Reigns. Rollins comes in to cash in with J&J (cue a gazillion great gif's of Heyman reactions during this) and wins the belt from Reigns.

I'm not crazy about this happening in daylight either.

I want Brock to beat Reigns. Then as Reigns hobbles out of the ring, Cena goes to check on him. Reigns tells Cena to go get him. Brock then challenges Cena, and Mr. Fuji throws the salt into Brock's eyes by accident. Cena pins him.
The belts merge, creating the WWE United States World Heavyweight Championship.

If Rollins cashes in tonight I want it to be on Lesnar and not Reigns. Would be way more enjoyable that way and justifies a chickenshit heel persona champion that they give to any heel who doesn't look like Brock.

How will Rollins cash in after being decimated by "The Viper" Randy Orton?

I can see WWE doing something similar to this to put more hate on Cena and less hate on Reigns.
This is what I want too. But that ending seems like it would please almost every fan in that stadium, which WWE doesn't seem to enjoy doing. Last year was an anomaly.
If Orton goes over Rollins, Jesus fuck.
Thank goodness WWE is high on Rolling and that ain't happening unless there's some kind of interference.
My guess was that he would end up as part of the battle royal, but IC match would make sense. Don't know what else he would do.

I still think it's the most outrageous thing to have Lesnar lose to Reigns. It's going to look so gross and surreal to see Lesnar's aura get put out by Reigns.
He actually has more presence than Taker
Yeah. Super short first world title reigns are played out as fuck, too.

I think they turned Wrestlemania into a Terminator Genesys poster.
Sheamus won't be part of the Battle Royal since it's part of the preshow now. They've been airing that promo for his return for the past two months. WWE still thinks he's a top talent that everyone loves. I imagine they are trying to get him on the WrestleMania show proper.

All aboard! The Love train!
I'd be shocked if Randy goes over. They need to keep Seth strong, so the security team will interfere and Rollins will win, I bet.
Also, Brock's future status was up in the air until recently. I think Brock wins and Rollins cashes in.

And so the era of Ted begins with him immediately having to face the true winner of the rumble in Curtis Axel, who then leaves WrestleMania as champion. And so begins the era of Axel vs Ted, wrestling's greatest 3rd generation superstars.
Yeah, and then Brock leaves and they have to awkwardly think of another way to get to Rollins vs. Reigns.
It only makes sense to have him go over Reigns and feud with him after Mania. Brock can cash in his rematch at SummerSlam.

i still don't get this joke?
Meltzer was saying that the title match is being 100 percent booked by Vince, but does listen to and consider HHH's input. If Vince still wants Reigns to go over, he's going over.
