    Uh have WWE managed to clone Cesaro & Sheamus??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,559 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Bar lose on the pre show leading to the match on the main show. :)

    That lineup brings up something I do notice. So Reigns loses the Intercontinental title only to go on for the Universal title. Surely by losing one, you shouldn't be eligible for the higher one. Never understood how that works.

    Maybe at the elimination chamber ppv its Miz vs Reigns and the loser has to enter the dreaded Elimiinaton chamber match. Reigns loses the intercon match but goes on to win the EC match and be number 1 contender

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,827 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    I hope The Usos make the main card. They deserve too after their stellar work over the last 18 months. After that, meh. Nothing too inspiring has been outlined above, nor has anything too exciting been rumoured.

    As is now the 'Mania norm, we'll get part-timers (and Reigns) in the most prominent roles, with scraps for those who'll be expected to carry the company for the rest of the year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,020 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I would like to see Miz take on Lesnar for the title


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Jericho to have a match.

    If taker is to have another match and he doesn't say 'this is my final match' . what way should they go about him leaving after it ??? last year's exit was so fitting that a repeat of that this year would be odd


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,467 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Braun Strowman vs the miz for the IC title
    is rumoured for the show

    A Cena and Bella wedding surely has to be on the card after last years proposal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,467 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    so we're getting Styles vs Nakamura for the wwe title

    Askua will challenge for one of the women's titles


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,520 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Want Cena v Finn now.

    The fact that they focused in so long on Cena after the elimination makes me think that's where they're going. Maybe Balor costs Cena vs Elias at ELmination Chamber and there's the feud

    Could Nakamura have chosen Lesnar and his title instead?

    Yes. He had his pick of champions and he picked AJ.

    What if Asuka picks Styles as well?

    Great thibg about Cena v Finn, if it happens, would be guarantee of getting on the show, no late bump to pre show.

    What a dream it would be to face Cena at Mania.

  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 53,822 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Seen on another site the current plans for Rousey are:
    tag team with Braun VS Steph/HHH at Mania. Supposedly The Rock can't wrestle for insurance reasons related to movies.

    (Put in spoilers in case I get told off :P )

    You know, either what's in spoilers or
    Miz
    at Mania for Braun, I wouldn't mind either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,559 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    After watching the new WWE24, I would be very surprised to see Taker having a match at Mania. He looked to be struggling even before the match.
    Say what you want about Kane but seeing how much mobility he has at 2 years younger than Taker, it's like night and day. And Kane has been pretty much active all year every year, for the most part.

    we will see in a few weeks

    for the occasion alone I'd love to see Cena vs Taker but in the wwe24 he Siad himself he was content and would glady ride off into the sunset.

    taker at mania is a soul crushing tradition that us fans have to part ways with and it's heartbreaking to do so


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,532 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    He’s been crap (or banged up, if you prefer) for the last four years tbh, it won’t break my heart in the least to not see him wrestle anymore.

    So will the Women main event and close the show so Steph can have Her revolution.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,977 ✭✭✭HandsomeBob


    The way things are do they really want to end another Mania would Reigns getting booed out of the building, so it's at the very least worth considering.

    Then again, Rousey closing could be potentially disastrous so maybe not. :pac:

    According to Meltzer, this is what the card currently looks like...

    1) Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns for Universal championship

    2) AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura for WWE championship

    3) John Cena vs Undertaker

    4) Rock/ Rousey vs Triple H/ Stephanie

    5) Miz vs Strowman for IC title

    6) Charlotte vs Asuka for Smackdown women's championship

    7/ Alexa bliss vs Nia Jax for Raw women's championship

    8) Seth Rollins vs Jason Jordan


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Not good for the Irish.

    Interesting. I was reading Rock isn't able to compete currently due to insurance reasons so the substitute was Braun.

    Either match I'd be fine with. Strowman vs Miz is ok too though

    Think the plan is Braun and Rousey vs. Steph and HHH. And Miz and Finn for the IC title.

    Rock is definitely unavailable in terms of insurance to step back in the ring. Other than a promo/segment.

    Big Dave is just doing what he does best. Guess with all of the information laid out infront of him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,689 ✭✭✭sky88


    big dave hasnt been the best with the scoops as of late so ill have to take with a pinch of salt


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,977 ✭✭✭HandsomeBob


    Would be amazed if Rock was involved but Rock/Rousey v Triple H/Steph would be best all round for the women's division.

    So basically throwing enough **** at the wall and seeing what sticks ?

    Seth Rollins vs Jason Jordan

    preshow?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,467 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Cena could possibly get so frustrated that he won't be main eventing mania (wont win the EC match) he could plead with Taker for a match and put his career (Cena) on the line too

    they could also do Samoa Joe vs Cena at mania


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,827 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    Man, there is so much talent on the main roster that is not named in that Meltzer card. There was 10 matches on the main card last year, plus 3 on the pre-show, so there's room for a few more.

    You've got the likes of Owens, Zayn, Orton, Rusev, Roode, Shane, Corbin, Usos, New Day, Becky, Sasha, Bayley, Finn, Sheamus, Cesaro, Joe, Elias and Bray, most of whom deserve a spot on the card. I think Owens/Zayn vs Usos could be a fun feud.

    Given their current storyline it might actually be their best chance to get on the card too as surely after Fastlane AJ will focus on Nakamura, weve seen Owens vs Shane (in the biggest stip match they could have) and even if D.Bryan came back it's be against Shane (given current booking) not them anyway.

    Similarily The Usos have faced The New Day so much that now having definitively defeated Gable&Benjamin they will need a new high profile team to face if they are not to be on the pre show at best (vs Rusev Day or Bludgeon Brothers).

    Owens & Zayn vs The Usos for the tag belts would be my guess anyway for Mania.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,933 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Let's see if I can out do Melty... I mean my sources have led me to believe that this is the current card for Mania
    Universal Title Match: Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns

    WWE Title match: AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura

    SD Tag team title match: Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs Jimmy & Jey Uso

    Retirement match: The Undertaker vs John Cena

    IC Title match: The Miz w/The Miztourage vs Finn Balor w/The Club

    Mainstream match: HHH & Steph vs Rona Rousey & Braun Strowman

    SD Womens title match: Asuka vs Charlotte

    Raw Womans Match: Alexa Bliss vs Nia Jax

    Opener: Seth Rollins vs Jason Jordan w/Kurt Angle

    Pre Show main event: The Andre The Giant Battle Royal
    Cruiserweight championship tournament final

    My sources are telling me that all 3 members of the New day will be in the ATGBR and that the current plan is for Big E to win that but that is subject to change and a Big E singles push is often talked of for sometime down the line.

    Similarily I have heard that the company want to find a prominent position on the card for Samoa Joe to return to but it may have to be a pre show match.

    The current plan in case of injuries is that Brauns place on the card could change and Kurt Angle could be elevated into his position for the mainstream tag match a spot originally earmarked for The Rock.

    There could also be some NXT talent called up early if needs must with AOP currently earmarked for a post mania debut could be called up early to replace KO/Zayn for example if injury strikes

    given
    they deleted the undertakers scene where he reflected on his carear in WWE 24 wrestlemania orland

    are we almost guaranteed were getting 1 more match or hes going in the HOF this year and offically calling it a day there ??


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,933 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    I never thought I wouldn't want Taker to have another match cos I thought he would bow out at the right time. Maybe part of it is also that I could see it being Finn Vs Cena at mania if Cena does not face Taker and given the rumble elimination and loss on Raw I could imagine Demon Balor going over at Mania and that would be huge for him and for the club.

    Given it a few weeks to see

    I'd love Cena vs Taker but also love demon Balor vs Cena

    Cena vs Elias at mania would be meh and way below Cena but in fairness Cena needs a good kick up the arse he's been so lazy and arrogant the last few stints in wwe


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,158 ✭✭✭✭hufpc8w3adnk65


    Demon Balor V Taker anyone? With The Demon going over of course!
