It's like the only match to care about.
I can't believe how long it took me to realize that wasn't Nikki and Cena. Maryse acting is flawless.
Finn just got back from injury very recently. Hasn't been back on TV yet.
No idea why Joe isn't in a match.
Both guys could possibly interfere in HHH vs Seth Rollins.
Joe is a support character.

I would agree about the 'draw' thing, except these two already had one of the most notoriously crap Mania matches ever years ago. Luckily Austin was there to put life back into the crowd by way of some stunners.

Miz and Maryse have been a roll this last year. They have been so good on the mic. This match, while a very predictable outcome could actually be a surprise especially if they let Miz and Maryse loose with overbooked heel antics.
Joe's going to be a prop in HHH's latest and greatest WM entrance just like Sasha,Charlotte and Alexa were during WM30

At the use show in Raleigh the other night, I thought Mojo by far had the most charisma and worked the crowd the best.

Agreed, the miz and Jericho have really been holding it down and putting on great mic shows.
I would love to see Cena take a loss at mania and to be honest, Miz deserves to beat him. The fact that it is mixed tag tells me that Miz will get the W.

Miz is returning the favor from 27, man. Miz doesn't need to beat Cena at WM, he already has.
The likely rumor since Miz has been a dick about it so much is a proposal after the match.
I don't think losing to Cena will affect Miz too much, UNLESS he plays a buffoon the whole match. I do expect one or two hilarious using Maryse as a shield bits, which is fine with me.
I hope Owens/Jericho opens Wrestlemania and sets a high bar.
Funny. I would argue that the card undermines the quality of the build. Most of the big matches have been built really nicely.
Edit: I don't think there's a match I'm not looking forward to, for some reason or another.

Is it Orton or Goldber last?
If Cena does propose, the only thing I'll be able to think about is "So...The Miz and Maryse were right?""
Like, it would obviously been marketing ploy regardless (need them storylines for Total Divas/Bellas, after all). But now that the feud has put the plastic-ness of Cena and Nikki at the front of my mind, it's going to feel extra icky.

No, Samoa Joe has been Triple H's new lapdog on Raw and Finn has been doing plenty of house shows.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
I just realized the Taker and Roman will be such a gassed match
Each of them will need "breaks"
I wonder how they go about it
I think all 3 Tables getting broke, a few rollout of ring and 3 minute roll back in breaks

That's the spirit!
Spear.
Sell for 3 minutes.
Chokeslam.

Tombstone.

Rinse and repeat.
This is sad but true. The match will be bad and it won't be Roman's fault.
He'll still get booed though.

I have ZERO interest in seeing more of the Hardy Boyz.
I have SIGNIFICANT interest in seeing more of Broken Matt, Brother Nero and his crew with WWE exposure.
Guess what non-entertaining option we'll be getting?
Too bad Roman doesn't have any moves that transition into a tombstone. Maybe a superman punch to takers submission move.
Of course. It's a Pavlovian response to The Shield theme at this point, not that Roman's booking doesn't deserve it.
I'd love to see Roman do his Crucifix Sit-Out Powerbomb to finish Taker...
Ahhh Yessir!
Mortimer Brewster

At this point they have ruined the Shield theme. Even when the inevitable reunion occurs, crowds now associate it with Roman. I feel for Rollins and Am rose in that spot when they get booed because Roman has figured out how to get X-Pac Heat even X-Pac himself never got.
It's alright 'cos they got the S-H-I-E-L-D intro.

So does the Ultimate Thrillride gimmick mean that HHH has a sick Mickey Mouse entrance this year
Or a clown entrance?
A giant drop?
Baloons?

Man, Broken Matt and Brother Nero interrupting The Day of New hosting WM would be such an amazing moment.

Here's a suggestion: Maryse trolls Nikki with the Bella wig. Nikki trolls back by dressing up as maryse. Ref gets confused when Nikki pins maryse because they are imitating each other and gives the win to Team Miz.

I'm going to be legit disappointed if Miz and Maryse aren't cosplaying as Robo-Cena and Thikki Bella for that match. They need to come out to the ring in full parody and do a fake proposal gag and everything.
Referee just about to ask for the bell when..
BRAAAUUUUUUN
Newly crowd Andre battle royal winner Strowman strolls down to the ring with both men looking perplexed. Roman attempts to cut him off as he puts one giant leg over the top rope but Strowman grabs him and tosses him aside like a rag doll before staring up to the Undertaker. Reigns goes to Spear Strowman who dodges and he catches Undertaker. Strowman then proceeds to decimate them both for a couple of minutes before leaving satisfied.
3 minutes later Reigns & Undertaker stand up, looking gassed as all hell, using the excuse of already being beaten up.
And then the match starts.
This is definitely a one-and-done feud. 'Faces' will win.

I am legitimately concerned about the Undertaker taking bumps in his match.
It's not like Reigns' moveset will require Undertaker to take very many bumps.
It's literally all punches and kicks with a spear.
I'll be impressed if Reigns can do that crucifix bomb on Undertaker. He doesn't really have any other moves that require bumps though.

Ha, yeah, I guess that's true. Reigns is probably one of the safest opponents for him in that regard.
Even still, after the stuff about Taker being really hurt backstage after he took that Spear a week or so ago, I'm still worried.

Leave goldberg alone!
I can't believe he's miserable working cutting a few promos. Whah a fuck.
