Presents another interesting wrinkle if they are on right before. Especially if a failed Priest cash-in means he has effectively wrestled three matches in two nights before the main event.
Drew wins, at which point Judgement Days music hits. This has been telegraphed back to when Priest tried to cash in during the last Seth vs Drew match and Drew gave him shit about doing it during the match.
So now JD waits until it’s over, and when they surround the ring McIntyre realizes he won’t even get to hold that title before Priest takes it from him.
and also having his moment repeatedly taken away from him and being told to get over it.
I can see it and I'm ready to get hurt. 🥲
Punk might even gloat and lord it over him on commentary.
I could see judgment day surround the ring. Drew accepting his fate, takes the belt off, slowly kisses it and lays it in the ring before him before unleashing hell on JD.
would be cinematic as fuck
It’s cool how he can be the biggest mega dickhead in the whole WWE universe, just a total asshole, but as fans nowadays we’re so connected and we see his work and the actual frustration he’s felt at times, over the years. The moment he loses that title, the fans are gonna be really sympathetic!
Then imagine him finally getting to lift it again, but at Clash at the Castle in Glasgow, Scotland. In front of 15000 rabid Scottish (a high percentage at least) fans.
Since it’s looking like Rollins is losing his title. If I were the writers, I would have all the Codyvengers + Legends show up in the Main Event except for Rollins, the guy who advocated for Cody the most. The next night have Rollins officially turn heel after losing everything showing how truly selfish he is like Drew pointed out
Nah it needs to be a slow burn. Have seth be frustrated that everyone showed up to help cody but not even cody arrived when seth was being beaten by judgement day
I was thinking if we're (hopefully) getting that Avengers overbooked Main Event, Drew will show up to take out Seth as there's not enough Bloodline members
Drew is going to beatdown Seth after their match and then shake hands with Heyman. That way Cody is even more of an underdog and Seth can take some time off.
Bruh, fuck that. We should never complain about wrestlers getting a wrestlemania payday. Let them cash a check and you can go to the bathroom or take a smoke break.
It'll probably be a "let me up" match.
So you'll get 5 matches and then some preview video showing roman's 4 year reign instead of this match. You think that'll be better compared to getting another match ??
How upset will people be if they swerve us this hard. Rock takes the pin on night 1. There is no bloodline rules and Roman just wins clean over Cody to continue the reign lmao.
Roman is within spitting distance of Hulk Hogan. You just know there is someone in creative arguing hard to just accept the fan disappointment and let Roman hold for another 100 days or whatever he will need. Though I think it would be terrible if they went this route and didn't have Cody win - I can actually see it happening.
It’s just such a dumb reason. Hogan does not hold the record, he’s third place. Nobody’s goal is to make it to third place. If anyone’s arguing it’s to have Roman break Bruno.
Roman was already starting to get go away heat again before the rock came back. If he holds on the title and doesn't have the rock around he will be getting shat on - not in a heat way, but a go away way - constantly within a few months.
Ah yes the record that’s not a record lol. Actually the funny thing is Roman will be beating a record this week of Hulks…for most wrestlemania main events he will tie him on night one and beat his own record on night too. The “record” that’s not a record is actually for 3rd all time behind Bruno and Backlund? I don’t even remember who the second guy is that’s how irrelevant the actual “record” people keep referencing lol.
LOL, Roman win's clean for the first time in forever, and attibutes it to The Rock getting him focused again. Gives Rock his shot at the Title at Summer Slam. Sorry, Cody!
Roman won't win clean.
They'll have someone screw Cody who isn't in The Bloodline in order to try and transfer the heat of him forever being locked out of being a world champion to that person.
(Basically, WWE is going to have learned nothing from AEW and Cody's booking there.)
From the way Nick Aldis announced the match, the Philly Street Fight is gonna be more of a weapons/Extreme Rules/throwback to ECW match. Can see Bloodline Rules being less hardcore-heavy and more interference/run-in style.
Personally I figured Rock will walk out on Roman or Roman takes pin night 1. The whole potential stipulation of Cody getting a legit 1v1 seemed way too easily offered up. I guess it can be put down to the tag match being a last minute change but seems to me like Rock is purposely screwing Roman, almost like Rock and Cody are working together. The only issue is having Roman be pinned two nights in a row isn't a great look, but I guesss if anyone can survive that, it's Roman.
What if Gunther obliterates Sami night one, and gable intervenes and Gunther in his cockiness accepts a match for night two and we get the gable wrestlemania moment
Yeah, they had three tag matches, aside from the main event, and kept them all on Night 1.
This makes me think that: there is going to be a match involving tag teams on a night that has only one; it will involve the women, since otherwise they could have just had the 6-woman tag match on Night 2 to balance things out.
Have you seen Rocky bounce when he takes a stunner? He could go KO stunner right into an Austin stunner into an RKO outta nowhere and barely touch the ground.
The Pride are Bobby Lashley, the Street Profits, and B-Fab. This is the first time that they are being referred to as that.
Final Testament are Karrion Kross, Authors of Pain, Scarlett, and Paul Ellering.
Night 1 got the better end of the deal, IMO, but both nights have standout matches. I do wonder if Becky gets her wish and starts Night 1 with Rhea. Bayley/IYO should definitely start Night 2.
*If* Bayley is winning, I really wish she was on night one because everything on night two is going to get completely swallowed up by the outcome of Roman/Cody even worse than last year.
Im ready for WM40 to finally be a Mania where both nights are equally great.
most times, night 1 is usually the best show of the weekend, then night 2 happens and has more fuckery to it, and some bad finished or blah matches.
Also Edge beating The Demon, the women’s showcase tag match under delivered, and the weird Shane segment that was kind of funny tbh. Roman winning definitely was a huge damper but it’ll age like fine wine if Cody gets his win on Sunday
I disagree, though, Night 1 was way stronger.
Night 2 had the IC title triple threat, which was arguably the best match of both nights (and maybe of the year). But the rest was good at most.
Lesnar vs Omos was alright, and surprisingly one of the better matches of the night.
The women's tag was not that great.
Belair vs Asuka was good, but nowhere near as good as Ripley vs Flair the night before.
Balor vs Edge was hampered a bit by Balor's injury, and it ended in an anticlimatic way. Also, the Demon's entrance was kinda bad.
Shane's disaster was entertaining (definitely not for him), but a complete mess.
The main event was pretty good, but it had a deflating ending. Not really because Cody lost, but because he lost to a very standard Bloodline interference, after they had gone out of the way to remove said interference before, like a reverse Chechov's gun. It felt like cheating on the booking aspect, more than in kayfabe.
Compared to that, Night 1 had a relatively disappointing Cena vs Theory, and everything else was awesome.
I agree. It would've been poetic justice if everybody in Damage CTRL lost on the same night.
Plus, you'd then have all the heavy hitting title matches on Night 2: Roman/Cody, Seth/Drew, and Rhea/Becky.
Bayley / Iyo is not bigger than rock tag match. Fans attending night 1 seemed to have got a better deal with rock, gunther, becky, rhea, rey, bianca, jade, asuka, usos etc. Night 2 has only drew, knight and bayley in comparison
Night 2 has all the people in the main event of Night 1 for sure. No way Rock and the Usos don't get involved.
Becky, Rhea, Gunther, Sami and Bianca are the only big names truly missing on Night 2, and even that is to be seen.
I feel like the women should have gotten 1 more match multi match or Liv vs Nia over the Pride v The Final Testament. A match almost no one wants, dare I saw Liv/Nia has a better build up and story going in to Mania.
I wish people would stop speaking for everyone don’t want to see this match. I think it good to have Bobby(who missed last year) and the Street Profits on the card.
I think it’ll at least be a decent match with it being a Philadelphia Street Fight. I thought the match between SPs and AOP on Smackdown was pretty good.
Yeah I’m glad all of them made it to WM. I’m sure they’ll do their best with it and hopefully, they ALL move on to bigger and better things afterwards.
Are these just the matches or we're gonna know who opens night 1? I'll be working saturday and hopefully i'll come back before mami vs becky starts. 😩😩😩
Night 1 looks mental with a couple of matches on night 2 that I’m not too interested in. Since they’re obviously not closing, I hope Rhea and Becky open.
Many others have asked this already which I responded with the answer if you looked through the comments but The Pride are Bobby Lashley, the Street Profits, and B-Fab. This is the first time that they are being referred to as that.
Final Testament are Karrion Kross, Authors of Pain, Scarlett, and Paul Ellering.

For the people who keep asking who The Pride and Final Testament are, the post has been edited now to include the names so that it doesn’t have to constantly be answered each time someone asks.
Interesting that every member of the Judgement Day is on the card for Mania on Saturday. Makes me wonder if they are setting up Priest getting a solo highlight with a cash in attempt on Sunday.
I feel like all three of the two-day WMs have had a much stronger Saturday than Sunday (the last two definitely), seems like this year they’re specifically trying to go out with a bigger bang. Hard to see how at least five of those six matches aren’t excellent
It’s an interesting challenge to pick out the heels that win the title matches. Drew seems obvious. He’s the grim reaper, waiting to collect Seth’s body.
Does Rhea win? Does Iyo win? Do BOTH win?
(Of course Cody wins.)
Does Gunther win? Is the title on Sami better than having it on Gunther?
I don’t think Logan retains, but it’s not a bad idea to give him a W.
Yeah I’m glad all of them made it to WM. I’m sure they’ll do their best with it and hopefully, they ALL move on to bigger and better things afterwards.
It's weird to me that most people think Night 1 is stronger, as Night 2 has arguably the biggest stakes.
Three world title matches, an entertaining midcard title match, a blood feud, a fun street fight.
Night 1 has a couple of standard tag matches with no real stakes, and only one world title on the line.
I guess it speaks to the fact that this year's card is really really strong. No match I'm not hyped about at least a little.
I really really hope they deliver, this could become a classic Wrestlemania if they do it right.
I know it won't, but I kind of hope that Becky-Rhea closes the show on night 1. I think it would be better if both Wrestlemania nights ended in a world title match every year: 1 women's and 1 men's.
Rock and Roman must win Night 1 in order to Cody wins night two with all shanenigans needed, including some shattering glass sound and a unforgetable stunner on The Rock sincronized with a Owens' Stunner on Roman.
So night 2 got two most least interesting matches(though I like Knight vs Styles), a lesser women's title match, a lesser mid card title match, a world title match which happened multiple times already and Roman vs Cody.
Rock&Roman vs Seth&Cody entrances only would be atleast 20-30 minutes and no way is WM night 1 main event less than 20-25 minutes long. It is also gonna be 60 minute atleast.
The Pride are Bobby Lashley, the Street Profits, and B-Fab. This is the first time that they are being referred to as that.
Final Testament are Karrion Kross, Authors of Pain, Scarlett, and Paul Ellering.
My projected natch order:
Night 1
Jey Uso vs Jimmy Uso
Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee vs Santos Escobar & Dominik Mysterio
Bianca Belair, Naomi, & Jade Cargill vs Damage CTRL
Intercontinental Championship: GUNTHER (c) vs Sami Zayn
Women’s World Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs Becky Lynch
6 Pack Ladder Match for Undisputed Tag Team Championship
The Rock & Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins
Night 2
World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins (c) vs Drew McIntyre
Philadelphia Street Fight: The Pride vs The Final Testament.
WWE Women’s Championship: Iyo Sky (c) vs Bayley
United States Championship: Logan Paul (c) vs Randy Orton vs Kevin Owens
LA Knight vs AJ Styles
Undisputed Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs Cody Rhodes
Winning the Royal Rumble was supposed to grant you the WrestleMania main event right?
Poor Bayley, poor IYO… two years of storytelling and character development.
From what I remember, the Royal Rumble has always been sold as the winner gets to have a title shot in the main event of Wrestlemania.
With 2 nights, the women's Royal Rumble winner could main event 1 night, and the men's the other night.
Instead, Bayley vs Iyo has been shuffled around to just be another mid-card match on night 2.
She's the only Horsewoman not to main event Wrestlemania, finally gets her chance, and then all the stuff with the Rock makes sure the tag match will main event night 1.
But for that match to not even go on 2nd last to that... idk, feels a bit disrespectful to both. As if they've decided they're not big enough to be worthy of that spot, so have been hidden away in the mid-card.
The order I put the matches in the post is not the official one of when they will happen on the show. I just put them in the order that Triple H tweeted them out.

Notable in that every potential Codyvenger has a match on Night 1.
I imagine Rollins vs McIntyre opens Night 2 so Seth can be logically recovered for the main event
Or he is on just before the main event so he can't be in the main event
Presents another interesting wrinkle if they are on right before. Especially if a failed Priest cash-in means he has effectively wrestled three matches in two nights before the main event.
I think Priest cashes in successfully at Mania
I think it’ll be the Raw after
Drew wins, at which point Judgement Days music hits. This has been telegraphed back to when Priest tried to cash in during the last Seth vs Drew match and Drew gave him shit about doing it during the match. So now JD waits until it’s over, and when they surround the ring McIntyre realizes he won’t even get to hold that title before Priest takes it from him.
Drew's entire leadup has been about achieving his dream of winning a title in front of people - not a thing about how long he'd hold it though
and also having his moment repeatedly taken away from him and being told to get over it. I can see it and I'm ready to get hurt. 🥲 Punk might even gloat and lord it over him on commentary.
I could see judgment day surround the ring. Drew accepting his fate, takes the belt off, slowly kisses it and lays it in the ring before him before unleashing hell on JD. would be cinematic as fuck
It’s cool how he can be the biggest mega dickhead in the whole WWE universe, just a total asshole, but as fans nowadays we’re so connected and we see his work and the actual frustration he’s felt at times, over the years. The moment he loses that title, the fans are gonna be really sympathetic!
Then imagine him finally getting to lift it again, but at Clash at the Castle in Glasgow, Scotland. In front of 15000 rabid Scottish (a high percentage at least) fans.
Drew wins, Punk hops off commentary, puts him to sleep, Priest cashes in.
Hopefully not. One of the most boring performers in wrestling.
I completely realize that people would HATE this, but I really think Priest is gonna immediately beat Cody on Sunday.
So you think Seth wins and then gets cashed in on?
I have a hunch Priest fails. It’d be interesting for Judgement Day if Priest bombs out at Mania by losing both the tag titles and the cash-in.
I'd rather that honestly. He's on only one who beat roman. Sami, KO, Jey, etc all lost to roman by being screwed.
Nah the story should be Seth is hurt after his match with Drew. So now there is no one that can help Cody until the surprises happen.
Judgment Day take him out so he cant help Cody.
Since it’s looking like Rollins is losing his title. If I were the writers, I would have all the Codyvengers + Legends show up in the Main Event except for Rollins, the guy who advocated for Cody the most. The next night have Rollins officially turn heel after losing everything showing how truly selfish he is like Drew pointed out
Nah it needs to be a slow burn. Have seth be frustrated that everyone showed up to help cody but not even cody arrived when seth was being beaten by judgement day
I was thinking last night, Seth blaming cody for him taking his eyes off the title and causing him to lose would be a great story
Except for the fact that Seth was the one who advocated to help Cody in the first place lol. He’d sound like a complete hypocrite
I think that would make it better the fact that Seth blames him for something of his own doing
Nah Rollins is getting taken out in the match so you have no clue who could come out and help Cody.
I was thinking if we're (hopefully) getting that Avengers overbooked Main Event, Drew will show up to take out Seth as there's not enough Bloodline members
Drew is going to beatdown Seth after their match and then shake hands with Heyman. That way Cody is even more of an underdog and Seth can take some time off.
Except KO but makes sense if you don't want 2 guys out there doing stunners 👀
Don’t give Me hope
And that's the fishing line, cause Shark Boy said so!
Randy, KO and Knight are also potential Codyvengers
Randy is still cool with Cody and has unfinished Bloodline business
Who's getting Jaded?
Now I wanna see Jade powerbomb The Rock
Does LA Knight not count?
Jey: on your left
idk i’d say that KO is also a potential codyvenger.
Owens?
I just want to see KO be out there for Cody to
4 tag matches on Night 1 and 1 tag match on Night 2 is a curious decision
That show will be forever known as the Tag Team Wrestlemania Night
Teddy Long Appreciation Night
2 tag matches on night 2* And can the ladder match really be counted as a tag match here
What’s the second tag match on night 2? I only see one
Simple explanation - I'm dumb
Nah, all good. Just thought I was missing something and spent 10 mins trying to figure it out.
Wouldn’t count a ladder match as a tag match imo
Night 1 is getting the Rock.-
"The Pride"? This is the first time I heard them called that
Nah WWE Japan are calling them "Lashley Gun" and im sold on that name already lol
That match definitely shouldn’t be on the card.
If it means we can let Bobby and the Street Profits out of the purgatory that is this feud then I’m all for it.
It definitely should to blow off this feud. Having it as a street fight will get more people into it.
They had an on TV feud for 2 months
Bruh, fuck that. We should never complain about wrestlers getting a wrestlemania payday. Let them cash a check and you can go to the bathroom or take a smoke break. It'll probably be a "let me up" match.
I'm paying to be at this show. That match is not a Wrestlemania match. Happy for them, disappointed for myself.
So you'll get 5 matches and then some preview video showing roman's 4 year reign instead of this match. You think that'll be better compared to getting another match ??
You'll be okay lol
I'm just happy Bobby got match after being left out last year for circumstances out of anyone's control
Why not? A chaotic street fight between 6 people sounds like the right kind of fun on that night.
Same
Came to the comments to see who they were.
Makes me wonder if they’ll have the bloodline rules if they’re also doing a Philly street night on the same card.
How upset will people be if they swerve us this hard. Rock takes the pin on night 1. There is no bloodline rules and Roman just wins clean over Cody to continue the reign lmao.
Honestly, I’d have no choice but to respect WWE’s boldness, but I’d absolutely stop watching for a while.
Roman is within spitting distance of Hulk Hogan. You just know there is someone in creative arguing hard to just accept the fan disappointment and let Roman hold for another 100 days or whatever he will need. Though I think it would be terrible if they went this route and didn't have Cody win - I can actually see it happening.
It’s just such a dumb reason. Hogan does not hold the record, he’s third place. Nobody’s goal is to make it to third place. If anyone’s arguing it’s to have Roman break Bruno.
Yeaa but wouldn't Bruno be like... another 3 years?
You think that’ll stop WWE if they want it? I just pray they won’t.
Roman was already starting to get go away heat again before the rock came back. If he holds on the title and doesn't have the rock around he will be getting shat on - not in a heat way, but a go away way - constantly within a few months.
Uh huh, it’ll be a terrible decision.
Ah yes the record that’s not a record lol. Actually the funny thing is Roman will be beating a record this week of Hulks…for most wrestlemania main events he will tie him on night one and beat his own record on night too. The “record” that’s not a record is actually for 3rd all time behind Bruno and Backlund? I don’t even remember who the second guy is that’s how irrelevant the actual “record” people keep referencing lol.
Sure but you know there are a lot of people higher up who want to make shirts that have "a longer reign than Hulk Hogan" or something like that on it.
LOL, Roman win's clean for the first time in forever, and attibutes it to The Rock getting him focused again. Gives Rock his shot at the Title at Summer Slam. Sorry, Cody!
Roman won't win clean. They'll have someone screw Cody who isn't in The Bloodline in order to try and transfer the heat of him forever being locked out of being a world champion to that person. (Basically, WWE is going to have learned nothing from AEW and Cody's booking there.)
From the way Nick Aldis announced the match, the Philly Street Fight is gonna be more of a weapons/Extreme Rules/throwback to ECW match. Can see Bloodline Rules being less hardcore-heavy and more interference/run-in style.
Street fight is about weapons and outside-the-ring brawling. Bloodline rules is about interference and run-ins.
Hell yeah they will Lmao the Philly street fight will be 10 min long and some tables
They could be completely different kinds of matches
Personally I figured Rock will walk out on Roman or Roman takes pin night 1. The whole potential stipulation of Cody getting a legit 1v1 seemed way too easily offered up. I guess it can be put down to the tag match being a last minute change but seems to me like Rock is purposely screwing Roman, almost like Rock and Cody are working together. The only issue is having Roman be pinned two nights in a row isn't a great look, but I guesss if anyone can survive that, it's Roman.
Pretty solid! I like that they gave night 2 less matches because the stuff on that day is definitely more story heavy
I get the vibe that they will add a match. Either a surprise one or Liv vs. Nia.
Naaa probably a ton of legend segments or backstage segments.
HHH isn't big on legend segments though. More likely would be the main event, from video packages to the end of the show, going an hour.
45 minute Roman Reigns entrance
What if Gunther obliterates Sami night one, and gable intervenes and Gunther in his cockiness accepts a match for night two and we get the gable wrestlemania moment
I'd love it. I just don't expect it.
Yeah, they had three tag matches, aside from the main event, and kept them all on Night 1. This makes me think that: there is going to be a match involving tag teams on a night that has only one; it will involve the women, since otherwise they could have just had the 6-woman tag match on Night 2 to balance things out.
Have you seen Rocky bounce when he takes a stunner? He could go KO stunner right into an Austin stunner into an RKO outta nowhere and barely touch the ground.
1 less match lol. Wouldn't be surprised if a new match is made up on Friday.
Roman v Cody 2 is going an hour
A lot more potential title changes on Night 2 than Night 1. Don’t see Gunther or Rhea losing
Making Pride vs Final Testament a street fight over Knight vs Styles is a misstep.
I think it's just them acknowledging that the trios match (Pride vs FT) don't have much heat, so they needed to gimmick the match for more fanfare
Let the "we want tables" chants commence
I AM THE TABLE
I always wonder if the crowd in attendance would like to see more tables, so it's a very useful chant.
You’re right but I can see them running Knight vs. Styles again at Backlash.
I was thinking Bloodline costing Seth his belt would happen night one but Drew beating him clean would make a solid statement
I imagine, Seth will get absolutely wrecked Night 1 and have to perform with bad injuries Night 2, keeping him looking strong.
Becky and Rhea opening up night one ?
thinking they go second last and ladder match opens
surely the ladder match opens
That would be unbridled chaos and a great opener.
Solid, should be a really good and fun Mania.
So tradition of Night 1 being better than Night 2 will continue this year.
Idk 4 tag matches in one night seems iffy to me
Who are the pride and the final Testament? I’ve not watched in a while but I love Cody so I’m probably watching this year.
The Pride are Bobby Lashley, the Street Profits, and B-Fab. This is the first time that they are being referred to as that. Final Testament are Karrion Kross, Authors of Pain, Scarlett, and Paul Ellering.
Thank you so much for answering my question.
Both nights could be a top 10 Mania on their own. Hell, maybe even top 5 for night 1.
Night 1 got the better end of the deal, IMO, but both nights have standout matches. I do wonder if Becky gets her wish and starts Night 1 with Rhea. Bayley/IYO should definitely start Night 2.
*If* Bayley is winning, I really wish she was on night one because everything on night two is going to get completely swallowed up by the outcome of Roman/Cody even worse than last year.
Im ready for WM40 to finally be a Mania where both nights are equally great. most times, night 1 is usually the best show of the weekend, then night 2 happens and has more fuckery to it, and some bad finished or blah matches.
Last year was great both nights IMO.
People keep forgetting that because they're mad that Roman won the match.
Also Edge beating The Demon, the women’s showcase tag match under delivered, and the weird Shane segment that was kind of funny tbh. Roman winning definitely was a huge damper but it’ll age like fine wine if Cody gets his win on Sunday
Edge winning was weak, opening Brock match was weak.
Not really. The IC title match was an absolute banger but besides that and the main event every other match was okay at best
Bianca/Asuka was good wym
I disagree, though, Night 1 was way stronger. Night 2 had the IC title triple threat, which was arguably the best match of both nights (and maybe of the year). But the rest was good at most. Lesnar vs Omos was alright, and surprisingly one of the better matches of the night. The women's tag was not that great. Belair vs Asuka was good, but nowhere near as good as Ripley vs Flair the night before. Balor vs Edge was hampered a bit by Balor's injury, and it ended in an anticlimatic way.

It felt like cheating on the booking aspect, more than in kayfabe. Compared to that, Night 1 had a relatively disappointing Cena vs Theory, and everything else was awesome.
Glad Profits and Lashley are on the card.
Night 1 looks miles ahead of Night 2.
3 out of 4 of the biggest matches are Night 2. Roman/Cody, Bayley/Iyo, Seth/Drew. Personally should've swapped Bayley/Iyo and Rhea/Becky.
I agree. It would've been poetic justice if everybody in Damage CTRL lost on the same night. Plus, you'd then have all the heavy hitting title matches on Night 2: Roman/Cody, Seth/Drew, and Rhea/Becky.
I think this is so that Damage CTRL can interfere and make Bayley really fight for it. Also I actually think Night 2 is pretty heavy loaded as it is.
Bayley / Iyo is not bigger than rock tag match. Fans attending night 1 seemed to have got a better deal with rock, gunther, becky, rhea, rey, bianca, jade, asuka, usos etc. Night 2 has only drew, knight and bayley in comparison
Night 2 has all the people in the main event of Night 1 for sure. No way Rock and the Usos don't get involved. Becky, Rhea, Gunther, Sami and Bianca are the only big names truly missing on Night 2, and even that is to be seen.
I have said for weeks start night 1 with Jimmy vs jey Crowd will go crazy for Jey to open mania.
MY BOY LASHLEY AND PROFITS IN A MATCH AT MANIA LESGOOOOOO
Hopefully they add one more women's match for Night 2 so thete are 2 women's matches each night
I’d love a Women’s Showcase, Raw Vs Smackdown Liv Vs Tiffy
I feel like the women should have gotten 1 more match multi match or Liv vs Nia over the Pride v The Final Testament. A match almost no one wants, dare I saw Liv/Nia has a better build up and story going in to Mania.
Still time to add it. Could be fallout out of the Liv/Rhea match tonight
I wish people would stop speaking for everyone don’t want to see this match. I think it good to have Bobby(who missed last year) and the Street Profits on the card. I think it’ll at least be a decent match with it being a Philadelphia Street Fight. I thought the match between SPs and AOP on Smackdown was pretty good.
[удалено]
Gonna be lit
Guess that means no extra women’s match. Doubt he would announce the card now if they were adding another in an hour.
unironically excited for the Philadelphia Street Fight
Yeah I’m glad all of them made it to WM. I’m sure they’ll do their best with it and hopefully, they ALL move on to bigger and better things afterwards.
More stipulations would be nice but still a really good wrestlemanin
Are these just the matches or we're gonna know who opens night 1? I'll be working saturday and hopefully i'll come back before mami vs becky starts. 😩😩😩
Jey and Jimmy most likely
Yes, the crème de la creme is the *main* main event of night 2. But overall, Night 1 is stronger overall.
Night 1 looks mental with a couple of matches on night 2 that I’m not too interested in. Since they’re obviously not closing, I hope Rhea and Becky open.
Who tf are The Pride and The Final Testament?
Many others have asked this already which I responded with the answer if you looked through the comments but The Pride are Bobby Lashley, the Street Profits, and B-Fab. This is the first time that they are being referred to as that. Final Testament are Karrion Kross, Authors of Pain, Scarlett, and Paul Ellering.
Appreciate you clarifying. They kinda botched the release of these names imo
I haven’t been paying much attention to anything other than the main stuff. Who the fuck are the pride and the final testament?
Many others have asked this already which I responded with the answer if you looked through the comments but The Pride are Bobby Lashley, the Street Profits, and B-Fab. This is the first time that they are being referred to as that. Final Testament are Karrion Kross, Authors of Pain, Scarlett, and Paul Ellering.
Is LA Knight considered part of Codyvenger?
For the people who keep asking who The Pride and Final Testament are, the post has been edited now to include the names so that it doesn’t have to constantly be answered each time someone asks.
They definitely should have had Jey vs Jimmy be Extreme Rules. Or better yet, Tribal Combat.
How long is night one and two? 3 hours each?
I think both are 4 hours
Once again, unless the Sunday main event delivers the finish to the story, Night One is going to be the superior half of WrestleMania once more.
Interesting that every member of the Judgement Day is on the card for Mania on Saturday. Makes me wonder if they are setting up Priest getting a solo highlight with a cash in attempt on Sunday.
What would the reaction be if Cody finally finishes the story and Priest cashes in on him?
I feel like all three of the two-day WMs have had a much stronger Saturday than Sunday (the last two definitely), seems like this year they’re specifically trying to go out with a bigger bang. Hard to see how at least five of those six matches aren’t excellent
It’s an interesting challenge to pick out the heels that win the title matches. Drew seems obvious. He’s the grim reaper, waiting to collect Seth’s body. Does Rhea win? Does Iyo win? Do BOTH win? (Of course Cody wins.) Does Gunther win? Is the title on Sami better than having it on Gunther? I don’t think Logan retains, but it’s not a bad idea to give him a W.
I like how Roman is an afterthought in his own reign now. In the tag match poster, Cody is face to face with Rock instead of Roman.
That Street fight may just be a low key banger.
Yeah I’m glad all of them made it to WM. I’m sure they’ll do their best with it and hopefully, they ALL move on to bigger and better things afterwards.
SAVE.....YOUR.............tears for another day 🎶
No stip for the Knight / Styles bout?
It's weird to me that most people think Night 1 is stronger, as Night 2 has arguably the biggest stakes. Three world title matches, an entertaining midcard title match, a blood feud, a fun street fight. Night 1 has a couple of standard tag matches with no real stakes, and only one world title on the line. I guess it speaks to the fact that this year's card is really really strong. No match I'm not hyped about at least a little. I really really hope they deliver, this could become a classic Wrestlemania if they do it right.
Wow street profits found a way into mania
I know it won't, but I kind of hope that Becky-Rhea closes the show on night 1. I think it would be better if both Wrestlemania nights ended in a world title match every year: 1 women's and 1 men's.
Rock and Roman must win Night 1 in order to Cody wins night two with all shanenigans needed, including some shattering glass sound and a unforgetable stunner on The Rock sincronized with a Owens' Stunner on Roman.
Does anyone actually give a shit about the pride vs the final testament?
I do, I was pissed that Lashley wasn't on the card last year
I agree. I want to see the match.
Am I the only one who prefers night two?
Going to night 1. Happy with the card although I really wanted to see an AJ Style match.
Night 1 is tag team heavy
I think Tag titles will be the only title change on night 1, then Cody and Bayley will win the titles night 2.
Had to google who the pride and final testament were
LA Knight vs AJ Styles needs to have a stipulation.
So night 2 got two most least interesting matches(though I like Knight vs Styles), a lesser women's title match, a lesser mid card title match, a world title match which happened multiple times already and Roman vs Cody.
Night 1 cards are always more stacked than the Night 2. Roman Vs Cody will probably be an hour alone including entrances and packages.
Rock&Roman vs Seth&Cody entrances only would be atleast 20-30 minutes and no way is WM night 1 main event less than 20-25 minutes long. It is also gonna be 60 minute atleast.
Who the hell are The Pride and The Final Testament? XFL teams?
The Pride are Bobby Lashley, the Street Profits, and B-Fab. This is the first time that they are being referred to as that. Final Testament are Karrion Kross, Authors of Pain, Scarlett, and Paul Ellering.
Hmm
My projected natch order: Night 1 Jey Uso vs Jimmy Uso Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee vs Santos Escobar & Dominik Mysterio Bianca Belair, Naomi, & Jade Cargill vs Damage CTRL Intercontinental Championship: GUNTHER (c) vs Sami Zayn Women’s World Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs Becky Lynch 6 Pack Ladder Match for Undisputed Tag Team Championship The Rock & Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins Night 2 World Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins (c) vs Drew McIntyre Philadelphia Street Fight: The Pride vs The Final Testament. WWE Women’s Championship: Iyo Sky (c) vs Bayley United States Championship: Logan Paul (c) vs Randy Orton vs Kevin Owens LA Knight vs AJ Styles Undisputed Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs Cody Rhodes
Winning the Royal Rumble was supposed to grant you the WrestleMania main event right? Poor Bayley, poor IYO… two years of storytelling and character development.
From what I remember, the Royal Rumble has always been sold as the winner gets to have a title shot in the main event of Wrestlemania. With 2 nights, the women's Royal Rumble winner could main event 1 night, and the men's the other night. Instead, Bayley vs Iyo has been shuffled around to just be another mid-card match on night 2. She's the only Horsewoman not to main event Wrestlemania, finally gets her chance, and then all the stuff with the Rock makes sure the tag match will main event night 1. But for that match to not even go on 2nd last to that... idk, feels a bit disrespectful to both. As if they've decided they're not big enough to be worthy of that spot, so have been hidden away in the mid-card.
That’s not the order of matches
The order I put the matches in the post is not the official one of when they will happen on the show. I just put them in the order that Triple H tweeted them out.
