Who is Orton Fighting?

Who is Orton Fighting?

Open challenge

If it were up to me it'd be Sami Zayn

Since they can’t do the KO feud, I’d kinda like to see them have the Wyatt Sicks show up with Alexa Bliss & gang up on Randy to start a new feud and give them some TV time

[Stanford]

Really subpar show. Wasn't a fan of any of the matches. The story stuff in the main event was very compelling and made sense, but the match itself was stilted and suffered from too-many-finishers syndrome. Feel like I've seen every beat of that match a thousand times.

As someone who hasn't been following the product, I was very impressed by the Naomi and Jade storyline. Could just have been a good video package, but I bought that Naomi was deranged enough to think she was doing the right thing, and Bianca selling that confused distress in her chamber pod was excellent. Unfortunately, the match didn't reach the quality of the storyline.

Honestly, I enjoyed the Chad Gable stuff the most. Not the best match but great characterization, even if this bit has been done before.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Why was Luger left off the HOF stage?

Why was Luger left off the HOF stage?

Was wondering the same thing. Didn't even mention him.

[Rich Rane]

What a match Iyo, Bianca, and Rhea just put on.

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

That was a lackluster Mania tbh

[Rich Rane]

I don't mind Cena winning the title, but because of Travis Scott and NOT The Rock? Seriously?

[heatwillbeback]

Night 2 started off so well with a phenomenal women's watch, Dom winning the Fatal 4 Way.

But that main event was a downer. Prime spot for guys to interfere (which was obvious) and all get get is Travis Scott. And the whole story turns on whether Cody is willing to cheat to win? Story could and should have been much better. Im sure Rock will get involved, but not doing it at the biggest show of the year is maddening.

Also Stone Cold injuring the fan? Like dude, I could have told you doing circles around the ring at 20-25 mph was not a smart thing. Also, have somebody take a stunner. Dont really care who.

The women's 3-way dance was incredible. That cannot be understated, and I complain a lot that usually the women get overstated bc they were underutilized and pigeon holed for so long. This was just a match of beauty and they deserve all praise they receive. I absolutely loved it. Drew and Damien then proceeded to put on a great banger. Actually, its kind of funny, the entertainment value probably went in order of how the matches went from the start of the card to the last match being the worst. WIth that said....

Ugh. We could dissect, but the two most dreadful things about this match:

1. Travis Scott was involved. I really don't want to be a gatekeeper but come on.... I get crossover appeal and all that jazz, but this is our Superbowl. Please, stop with that.

2. I immediately looked over at my brother and couldn't help but noting... Cody USED THE CHAIR against Owens just a few months ago. Why was the belt so different now? Where did this honor come from. Owens never got to use the chair so it wasn't even retaliatory.

In the press conference Cena said he was going to ruin wrestling tomorrow on Raw. If Triple H wasn't running things, I would think there was a finger poke of doom coming in favor for Travis Scott.

Pretty good Mania, had some great moments, some not so great moments.

Gunther/Jey - Not really a fan of this. Felt like this needed to be more of a brawl/fight than a traditional match. Finish worked for me but Gunther tapped too quick.

New Day/War Raiders - Not sure why this was on the card. SD tag division deserved this spot, they've been on fire.

Jade/Naomi - Good match for to end that story. Jade can move onto bigger things now hopefully.

Fatu/Knight - Really good match. Both guys got enough of their stuff in. Fatu looked like a monster.

Americano/Fenix - This match was definitely put together last minute by these two and they killed it.

Charlotte/Tiffany - I was scared they were gonna have Charlotte win here. Glad they didn't.

Punk/Roman/Seth - Great match, deserved the main event spot. It was pretty obvious Heyman was turning on Punk and Roman.

Bianca/Iyo/Rhea - Best match of WrestleMania this year. All three killed it.

McIntyre/Priest - Nothing special nor any complaints.

Bron/Dom/Finn/Penta - 2nd best match of WrestleMania.

Hendry/Orton - It worked. It's obvious they like Hendry and have some type of plan for him. Crowd went crazy for him.

AJ/Logan - Nothing special nor any complaints.

Becky/Lyra/Liv/Raquel - Everyone seen Becky coming the second they wrote off Bayley.

Cena/Cody - I wish Cena's heel turn happened here. The Rock's "Sell your soul" story should've been built up more and saved for this moment. Cena wins dirty and sides with Rock (and Travis Scott for some reason, I guess). But since Rock didn't appear I guess his schedule couldn't work for that.

[Stanford]

Cena/Cody - I wish Cena's heel turn happened here.

Great point. Maybe even tease Cody turning heel in the weeks leading to the event. Turning him heel when they did set the expectation that they'd do something to top the Chamber moment. It is Wrestlemania. It should be bigger. But they blew the biggest moment early and wasted a Wrestlemania main event on Travis Scott. Whoever that is.

I wasn't as impressed with the women's triple threat match as everyone else (still the best match of both nights, I think - 3-ish stars), but I will say that Io's selling is a joy to watch. I would enjoy the WWE product a lot more if everyone sold like Io.

Rhea did a great job selling too.

The Cena entrance was perfect!

8/10 for me. Good matches, nice twists. Solid.
