The WrestleMania Card so far (contains spoilers)

Into the final stretch now towards Mania and the card is beginning to take shape (some matches still to be confirmed but this is how it looks)...

Undertaker v Roman Reigns
John Cena & Nikki Bella v Miz & Maryse
Seth Rollins v HHH
Shane McMahon v AJ Styles
Samoa Joe v Sami Zayn
Andre the Giant Battle Royale

Universal Title
Goldberg (c) v Lesnar

WWE World Title
Bray Wyatt (c) v Randy Orton

US Title
Jericho (c) v Kevin Owens

RAW Women's Championship
Bayley (c) v Sasha Banks v Charlotte

Cruiserweight Title
Neville (c) v Austin Aries

IC Title
Dean Ambrose (c) v Baron Corbin

To me it's a disappointing card, barely a match that even on paper excites me yet alone with several poor build ups.

Not to mention that's a lot of matches. Main card is 4 hours with a 2 hour pre-show, which doesn't have that many matches usually.

So this what we're looking at timing-wise, including entrances:

Universal Title
Goldberg vs. Lesnar - 15 minutes

Undertaker vs Roman Reigns - 30 minutes

John Cena & Nikki Bella vs Miz & Maryse - 15 minutes

Seth Rollins vs Triple H - 30 minutes

Shane McMahon vs AJ Styles - 20 minutes

WWE World Title
Bray Wyatt (c) vs Randy Orton - 25 minutes

US Title
Jericho (c) vs Kevin Owens - 15 minutes

RAW Women's Championship
Bayley (c) vs Sasha Banks vs Charlotte - 25 minutes

Cruiserweight Title
Neville (c) vs Austin Aries - 10 minutes

IC Title
Dean Ambrose (c) vs Baron Corbin - 10 minutes

Andre the Giant Battle Royale - 20 minutes

That's already 3 and a half hours and is missing:

- RAW Tag champs
- Smackdown Tag champs
- Smackdown Women's title
- The New Day
- The Rock (if he's involved)

It doesn't look like something I'm going to watch fully at all. I might just skip through it at work.

Expecting a long preshow. Around 4 matches at least

I expect Joe vs Zayn will happen too.

Very true I'll add that in.

Wouldn't surprise me if Rollins-HHH became a street fight segment or something instead of a full match

Its probably going to be a 6 hour event in total, the card isnt that inspiring but its a sight better than last years.

Oh dear god I never even twigged of being sat in the sun for 6 hours... as a ginger fat bloke this will kill me!

I'm sure I read it on twitter or online somewhere that the reason for the cena/nikki v miz/maryse match was so that after cena/nikki go over he will propose to her in the ring. If so then the reaction of the crowd will be interesting.

Crowds have been pretty into the stuff so far tbf. Helps that the girls keep trading the word b'tch on tv

I'm expecting the match to be something of a train wreck but at least the Miz is gold in the build-up.

Miz has improved immensely as an in ring heel since his last WM match with Cena, as has Cena himself. So im expecting them to have a good match - which you would hope to be about 70% of the action

I don't think the crowd would crap on a proposal to be honest, the Cena hate at live events tends to be good natured and he's basically in a midcard feud even though Miz has upped his game beyond recognition, he'll definitely get a World Title run in the next year.

I think it'd have been more interesting to have a 1 on 1 match, maybe have Maryse screw Cena out the match, Nikki makes a save after the bell, bish bash bosh, proposal although if this is Bella's last match maybe it's just something they wanted to do together one time before its over.

I think about 90% of the hate Cena gets is basically part of his gimmick now. My personal take on it is when the crowd are singing 'John Cena Sucks' its no different to chanting 'You Suck' at Kurt Angle at this point.

I think you're right, it's all part of the pantomime now, I think he'd probably be a bit disappointed now if it stopped.

I think a Finn v Joe match is more likely

I hope not...following the injury Balor needs to pick up where he left off or face being buried in the mid card...With the way Joe has come into RAW you cant have him lose his first major acid test especially if you want to push him onto the next stage...the match would be a lose lose at this point...and if they were to go with a non clean finish then even thats no good as a match up of this nature would deserve better than that

The way they're booking WM is a ball$ up anyway so the likelihood is they don't care, Vince is of the mindset that fans forget very quickly anyway

Pre Show

Ambrose/Corbin
Battle Royal
Bliss vs Smackdown roster

Presume theres some Usos action on the pre-show.

Could see the CW title there too.

Strowman surely HAS TO win the Andre Cup?

The Usos should be in the Tag Title Match with American Alpha IKO can't quite get my head around that they're not on the card, for me the best tag team in the WWE by a long distance and the whole Battle Royal is built for Strawman isn't it, he does have to win it
