Most of this card is thrown together and not really worthy of wrestlemania standing at all (most of the feuds have absolutely no build or heat whatsoever).

But the matches that have been built (Main event, WWE title match and to a lesser extent Lesnar vs Rollins, Shane vs Miz and Styles vs Orton for the little bit) bave been built nicely.

I mean i have no doubt the match quality will be fine but you think they'd take some care in some of their midcard feuds in terms of actual build.

Least excited for a Mania since I got back into wrestling about 5 or 6 years ago. Sometimes these shows with no expectation end up surprising you.

Im looking forward to the Womens Title Match, HHH/Batista and Bryan/Kofi. Thats it.

Very weak card and buildup for Wrestlemania this year.

Almost forgot about HHH vs Batista. Batista has been gold since he's come back, i genuinly hope he wins (idk, i know HHH is meant to be the face but i can't help but cheer for Batista in this one, then again that might just be me being a Batista mark).

Sounds like Mysterio vs. Samoa Joe could be in serious jeopardy with Mysterio injuring his ankle at RAW against Corbin.
Joe might be cursed as he always gets injured before WM and now his opponent is. If Rey can't go maybe they insert Cena
or Kevin Owens to replace him instead of scrapping the match.

I desperately hope that someone takes Corbin out before his match, because Corbin being Angle's last match is depressing.

They can't. They just can't.

Jericho said on his show this week that he'd flat out refuse.

I just can't for the life of me figure out why they wouldn't want to have an actual build to Angle's last match. Is this just Vince being petty and punishing him for going to TNA? This could have been a big deal.

Maybe they couldn't get Cena to commit to a match? I don't really know either.

Nah I still believe Cena takes out Corbin and comes out to face Angle. Easy to explain Cena's actions post Mania. If Corbin asks, "I'm **** John Cena, that's why." And then the whole full circle thing. No need for a follow up feud with Corbin and Cena.

Hoping this happens. And then after the match, they show their respects towards one another, and we get a similar Ric Flair scene where Taker comes in and kneels in front of Angle.

Also on Corbin vs Angle. Corbin should be closer to being shown the door than being given Angle's retirement match, he's so damn mediocre at a time when you have so many good big guys on the payroll (Keith Lee, Donovan Dijak, Luke Harper, Rusev just to name a few).

The matches I'll be interested in watching Sunday...

Kickoff Show

— André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

— WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal

— AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton

— Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Becky Lynch [Winner Take All Raw & SmackDown Women's Championship Triple Threat Match]

— Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Kofi Kingston [WWE Championship Match]

— Drew McIntyre vs. Roman Reigns

— Shane McMahon vs. The Miz [Falls Count Anywhere Match]

— The Usos (c) vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet vs. Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura vs. The Bar [SmackDown Tag Team Championship Fatal 4 Way Match

The rest of this card has next to no momentum and just a zero give a **** rating for me. Looking it over looks like it's smackdown for the win.

Could we just get Johnny versus Brock instead of Seth? That's the match I want to see.

Hardys vs Usos should be the SD tag title match, Hardys are legendary but being put in a pointless battle royal. Dumb.

When Rousey leaves to make babies with that weird looking dude, the women will be on life support until she comes back.

They better realize how special it is to be main eventing WM and put on a damn good show.

So many matches on this card just feel so underwhelming, but not like when NXT has a weak card where you know it'll end up over-delivering. So much of this just seems like it exists just to get guys on the card.
