I think I heard somewhere that Cole would be replacing Fish in the tag title match - possibly running double duty on the night. 

Absolutely fantastic NXT this week - can't believe the amount that happened in one hour. Take heed, Raw!

Having not followed EC3 to his TNA days I was pleasantly surprised with how much star power he has. Quick witted, owning the ring and will win the fans over pretty quickly. The ladder match is likely to steal the show, in what's another stacked show.

In terms of call ups, I expect AOP the night after mania as well as the Iconic Duo. I think we could see a couple of NXT stars in the Andre Battle Royal too.

Might not be to everyone's taste but I've been listening to 'Wrestle Me' with Marc Haynes and Pete Donaldson recently.

The basic premise is that Marc is an avid wrestling fan and Pete is coming into it having never been into it at all. They're going through each Wrestlemania in order Marc's run down of what was going on and Pete's bafflement at some of the happenings. It's a nice nostalgia fest if you flick through each Mania before listening and they pick up on some of the tid bits you won't have noticed first time around.

Really good, light hearted fun.

I still think she might surprise one or two once she gets going in the ring...she's got that believably about her when she fights. They do need to keep her away from the mic while she learns that side of things though...maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea after all for her to join Absolution and head up their in ring element with Paige doing most of the talking.

Asuka wins, Carmella cashes in, Asuka wins. 

Good shout...I wonder whether they would want their first Women's MITB to end in failure though? She's not beating Asuka or Charlotte any time soon so maybe she tries her luck with the Raw title now they're co-promoting PPV's again.

If it ends in a draw does that mean the streak lives? I assume so as it's an unbeaten streak - could be a way for them to keep the title on Charlotte but keep the streak. Wouldn't go down well though.

Morning all!

Wasn't sure where to put my first post but just wanted to say Hi,Hello,Good Morning and all those biscuits. Looking forward to much fun discussion in the run up to the big Daddy. *Points at Wrestlemania sign five times*

Bit behind this week so only just finished Raw. Thought it was nowhere near being on point for a show two weeks out from Mania. I'm positive that in-ring wise it's going to be a cracker of a Mania but the builds have been underwhelming for the most part.

As has been mentioned, Taker should have turned up this week. If you're going with Cena-Kane for the main event then you have to have something better for the ending. That segment should have come in the middle of the show without a doubt. Setting it up officially next Monday seems rushed in terms of getting the hype built but maybe they'll use next week's Smackers to show a video package etc.

Not excited at all for Lesner-Reigns and it'll take a lot of Vince's grapefruits to put that on last at Mania considering what the crowd reaction may be.

There's such a different between Ronda the talker and Ronda the fighter - as soon as she puts on her angry toddler face you know it's about to kick off and that's what they should be focusing on rather than exploiting a clear weakness which she can hopefully improve in time. I thought they did a good job with Trips and Steph's video though, clearly marking them out as the heels and giving us reason to get behind Team Anglesey.

I'm leaning towards Samoa Joe as Brawn's partner leading to those two losing to The Bar winning and Joe attacking Strowman after the match to set up a decent little post mania feud.

Actually liked the Sasha-Bayley stuff this week - I do wish that could be a 1v1 but again I guess it makes sense to do that match when it's got more attention like at a Backlash.

MizTV was pretty predictable but still enjoying the Miz on the whole and that should be a decent match given time at Mania.

Also glad they held back a little on Alexa's shaming on Nia this week - I still think she'll retain this time through some means or another before dropping to Nia later on.

Anyhoos, looking forward to the debating over the coming months!

Catch you all soon
