I’d argue the buzz and build up is far bigger and better than last year. I've not been watching much of the TV programming but I actually think it's a pretty decent card this year. I can't say I've looked forward to a WrestleMania in a while but this one is the first one in years where I'm looking forward to quite a few matches. Assuming the colour-coded posters relate to the day, so far we have: Saturday WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Randy Orton Women's World Championship: Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Liv Morgan Seth Rollins vs. Gunther Unsanctioned Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Jacob Fatu WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship: AJ Lee (c) vs. Becky Lynch WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax and Lash Legend) (c) vs. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria vs. The Bella Twins Sunday World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Roman Reigns WWE Women's Championship: Jade Cargill (c) vs. Rhea Ripley Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi Finn Bálor vs. Dominik Mysterio United States Championship: Sami Zayn (c) vs. Trick Williams WWE Intercontinental Championship - Ladder Match: Penta (c) vs. Je'Von Evans vs. Dragon Lee vs. JD McDonagh vs. Rusev Quote
Paid Members JNLister Posted March 31 Paid Members Posted March 31 Meltzer has two other matches likely rounding out the full card: Logan Paul & Austin Theory & IShowSpeed vs The Usos & LA Knight (listed internally, could be changed to Speed and Knight as cornermen) and Asuka vs Io Sky (which he describes as unannounced, not 100%).

That 6 man sounds dreadful. Just keep it as a tag match for the belts in a piss break slot. If that's it though at least we don't have to see Jelly Roll wrestle at Mania, or Guilia/Stratton Wyatts/MFT matches that nobody could possibly give a shit about. Quote
TheScarlettChad Posted April 1 Posted April 1 Did we ever get the Wyatt sicks vs MFT blow off? Could be a decent pre show match nobody will watch. Quote

Paid Members Statto Posted April 1 Paid Members Posted April 1 FWIW, the last time they actually had matches on the pre-show of Wrestlemania was 2020. Presumably they made the conscious decision to have a major match (Drew vs Lashley for the WWE Championship) be the first thing to go out in 2021 (being the first match in front of a crowd for over a year), and they've never gone back to pre-show matches being a thing.

Kfogg1991 Posted April 1 Posted April 1 On paper the matches are pretty strong and decent..... it's the manner of getting there and the build and storytelling given to make it a complete package for such a spectacle event not only for them the company but for the WWE universe they claim to listen to and prioritise. Now we clearly know that isn't the truth they cater to shareholders, investors and networks/platforms not the fans who continue to tune in for raw and smackdown each and every week. Who fill seats at live events even though they make it more expensive than they pay for rent and bills. We get told to stop complaining or thoughts on things like running las Vegas two years consecutively shouldn't matter or be true for why tickets are so low and are barely selling and not anywhere close to the metrics for last year, they genuinely can't believe it but next year when mania is in Saudi Arabia (if it still is which has a question mark right now) it's the last wrestlemania in America for two years and the road to get there has been lazy, uninspired, without storytelling and hype for everything bar maybe four or five matches with the punk Vs Roman match having the longest time and build at 8 weeks not saying it's been perfect with the same RAW end segment constantly but it's more interaction and time compared to the rest. This actually matters for fans returning to such a highly expensive state like Vegas for a second year in a row (If and when you disagree I ask too refrain for taking the piss for once) Quote

I don't watch the weekly programming, only watch the "big 4" and probably won't watch the events live, maybe night 1 actually. That's a decent card to watch and if I don't like the look of anything I'll just skip it. Simple really isn't it? Quote

Summerslam was in LA for 5 years. And then NY for 5. Quote
