WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP LADDER MATCH

UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

FATAL 4-WAY WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH (KICKOFF)

So now the 4-way for the tag titles and the Andre Battle Royale are both part of the kickoff show. That leaves 7 matches to fill up 4 hours. I predict Triple H and Taker will have the longest ring entrances of the night, with Bray and Sting coming in close runners up. I've read something about H's entrance and it could be pretty damn cool if it's done right and not cheesy.

Hideo Itami will participate in the Battle Royal.

I've never been a fan of HHH's elaborate ring entrances, I agree with Punk that he looks like a low-rent, poor man's Conan. But yeah, I do expect to see some really elaborate ring entrances with Undertaker, HHH, Sting, probably Bray Wyatt, Rusev, maybe Cena. Its probably why the battle royal got bumped to the pre-show. And I think the main reason they bumped that match instead of the women's match is that even at just 7 matches if anything starts going long that's the match that'll have its time cut.

i thought his entrance last year w/sasha banks, charlotte and alexa bliss was pretty badass. also, the video package for him/bryan was one of the best theyve done

Really wish Taker would have appeared at least once before Mania to further improve the feud. Props to Bray for carrying the whole damn thing. I can't **** wait to see Bray's entrance.

And I'm excited for AJ and Paige. I feel like they should be going 1 v 1 in Mania though. Like this whole **** should have happened in Fast Lane, and they get built up as a tag team, but with cracks showing along the way eventually coming to a head in Mania. But can't complain.

Wonder why they refuse to put tag team matches on the main cards. 4-way tag would be a sick opener.

The video package was definitely off the charts. I thought his entrance last year made him look like a megalomaniacal douchebag, but his character was/is a megalomaniacal douchebag so it worked. But when he's come out in the past few years looking like, to steal Punk's line, a low-rent poor man's Conan he looked ridiculous.

that battle royal better be between Miz/Mizdow to end the match, or have Axel win it....better not be a fvkn pissing contest between Show/Kane/Henry to end the match

Hideo Itami is in it and there is supposedly 1 other yet-to-be-named NXT star to fill the last spot as well.

If Mizdow doesn't toss Miz to win at the end, I'd like to see one of the NXT guys win to propel them to the main roster.

I really wish Sting had his old crow music from WCW...

I loved when WWE introduced him through the WWE 2K15 commercial with the orchestra playing his theme
wearing Sting masks. Thats how I would have done his WM 31 entrance.

I wonder if he got into sick enough shape that he doesn't have to wear a T-shirt over his attire to cover up
the old man flabby skin.

I certainly hope so. He's had plenty of time, if he actually dedicated himself to it over the past year.

This has been the least into Mania build I've been in many years but still look forward to watching. I think it has potential to be a surprise good Mania. Idk how the main event and HHH/Sting matches will be. I didn't like the idea of Taker/Bray b/c I figured no way Undertaker loses 2 in a row, but starting to think it could happen. It would be huge for Bray and then you set-up a Taker losing streak into his last ever match next year. That can be played into the storyline. INterested to see how this Mania goes.

If you haven't watched the Friday edition of Wrestlemania Today on the network yet today, go do that. It's simply a preview show but it's pretty damn entertaining. Actually has me pretty pumped for Mania tomorrow. The panel is Renee, Saxton and Graves and they've got a solid chemistry. The video package for the IC title ladder match is spectacular.

I'm pretty pumped for the battle royal now that Kenta is in it.

Almost all the videos they did on Smackdown were good but this one got me especially hype

That match has one of the most bi-polar builds to a PPV match I've ever seen. On one hand, you've got Ambrose and Bryan talking about the importance and history of the title. Conversely, they have R-Truth on commentary every week acting like a goddamn fool and Wade Barrett acting like a petulant child. The good thing is that they struck the right tone this week leading into the match.

I'm guessing he looks pretty strong in it but doesn't actually win. Would actually make some sense to have the final 3 be Miz, Sandow and Hideo. You have Itami eliminate someone important, then before he can catch his breath, Miz eliminates him. Then Miz tells Sandow to eliminate himself and instead Sandow finally turns on him and eliminates Miz.
