What was the point? Why build up a match up and give us that. I feel like the way it ended, it won't be the end.
I hope they still go with Lensar vs Ambrose. I prefer it over Lensar/Wyatt |
Same, I'd prefer the Mania card to stay as it is.
I wasn't confident about the main event but with 100k+ there's bound to be a mixed reaction (for Reigns).
Lesnar vs Ambrose would be best as Bray doesn't work well with heavy guys (see: Taker last year).
For an event of this magnitude, they've ****ed up. So far it's about the McMahons and The Rock. 💀

I think Reigns vs Triple H will be better than people are thinking. As much as I dislike Reigns, the reaction he will receive as the crowd hates him enough, will be amazing in the 100k+ crowd.
Plus, with it being a Street Fight, it will be intense. This will elevate Ambrose even more.
I'm still getting my head around Taker vs Shane. It doesn't make any sense and they can't have Undertaker lose again. I think that spits in the face of Lensar doing the unthinkable and being the only one to be able to beat him at the grand stage.

Agreed. Unlike the majority of the crowd, I think HHH vs Reigns has the potential to be a great match, hard-hitting, physical and perhaps use of blood like vs Brock at 31.
As a Taker fan, I'm fine with Lesnar being the 1, but it'll (as you said) seem pointless if Shane manages to defeat him as well. No amount of social media posts acting as if Shane is about to fight for the UFC title will convince me that he deserves to pin Taker at WrestleMania. He deserves one more Hell in a Cell win before he retires, and everyone knows that Hunter and Stephanie are taking over the company from Vince. We're not stupid!
Having said all that, they do manage to change the schedule and shock us sometimes.

I cannot believe that Triple H is 46. He looks incredible (excusing the aging in the face).

Exactly. I'm hope that if this being is last HIAC match, then they put on a hell of a match and I hope it's brutal and intense and not like the HIAC matches we have seen over the past few years since WWE has gone PG. I would be fine if he lost as any other PPV, but as for Mania, Lensar should be known as the only one to be able to beat him.
Knowing WWE, they do have a surprise up their sleeve. They do sometimes know how to shock us and give us things we don't expect.

Edit: Nvm, and how did the referee not see Trips feet on the rope. Stop it WWE, we're not all 6 years old 💀

Ambrose is truly one of the best in the business today.

Good main event. At least Mania stays the same. Was hoping for a surprise but good nonetheless.

They're saving it for after Mania. Why would that waste that on a glorified house show like Road Block?

Lesnar vs. Wyatt at Payback could work, assuming Bray's going to interfere and assist Ambrose in defeating Brock at WM.
Ambrose defeating Brock with a clean win would be fine for general fans as they love him but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really make sense as Triple H, Cena, Angle are the select few to have defeated him (Eddie assisted by Goldberg, Taker's win at SummerSlam was a sham, and obvs there's more but most of his earlier career is forgotten by now). 
Hopefully the IC and Tag Team title matches start to take shape tonight. Four matches confirmed with three Raw's left..

Congrats to Jacqueline! I wish Luna had gotten in either before or with her, but at least I'm glad she's in the HOF before Sable 
Changing topics, though: WHAT was up with Alicia Fox's weave????

Stipulation added to Hell in a Cell: If Undertaker loses, it will be his last match at the marquee event—ever.
Intercontinental Championship Ladder match added to the event: Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Zack Ryder vs. Sin Cara vs. The Miz vs. Stardust -- Neville suffered an injury last week and will therefore not compete at Mania.
 
Fifth Harmony will perform America the Beautiful, kicking off the four-hour spectacle at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on the Network.
Emma has returned, joining Team B.A.D, Summer Rae, Lana. Brie Bella, Paige, Alicia Fox, Natalya expected as opponents.
Chris Jericho vs. AJ Styles not official, should be confirmed at some point this week, if not the next. 10 matches on card.

Damn you, Vince. It was suppose to be Kevin Vs Sami for the IC title. Make the US title match a ladder match.

All I am saying that Shane/Taker must be the main event, they DO not want the show to close with Roman getting the title and the crowd booing the hell out of him. He's just not liked to be the top guy..
