    With the Rumble over, we're on the Road to Wrestlemania now, so figure we can start this thread off.

    First official match announced is Drew McIntyre vs Brock Lesnar for the WWE title.

    Orton vs Edge looks likely, given the closing angle on Raw last night.

    Charlotte Flair has a title opportunity too. Meltzer is reporting today that the plan is to have her challange
    Rhea Ripley for the NXT Women's Championship.

    Wonder if they'll drag Seth & Crew vs KO, Joe, Black and A.N. Other out till Mania; there's two PPVs left between then and now.

    Presumably Bray vs Roman?

    Think we will sadly see no progression in some storylines and they will go on too mania

    Joe/kO+2 others vs Seth and the lads- possibly heel turn for one of Joe/KO here

    Lashley vs Rusev again

    I'm going to Wrestlemania this year so I'm hoping that there's gonna be a top marquee match on. The title matches themselves should be good (Drew v Lesnar and The Fiend v Roman - probably) but I'm hoping that they'll put on a proper marquee match too. I would always assume that Taker would be involved somehow as well ... probably in that match I mentioned.

    To be honest I'd hope Drew vs Lesner gets top billing like they used to do years ago , The crowning of a new star should get top billing rumble winner vs dominant champion

    If you don't mind me asking, what's the bill for your trip looking like? I'm always interested to know the cost from this side of the pond because it's on the bucket list someday

    Part of me thinks Takeover and the Rumble in January could be a decent budget option compared to the madness of Mania weekend

    I'm actually going as the first part of my honeymoon, so it's a bit difficult to give an exact amount. The Wrestlemania Tickets were about €120 each. We're staying an a hotel that's about a 15 min walk from the Stadium for a couple of nights, so luckily enough we shouldn't be caught in what I can only imagine will be a travelling nightmare in and out (especially after the event).

    First match god good no. Please let that be meltzer getting bad info. I don't want to see the second guy wrestler again.

    Second match is interesting on a fantasy booking point of view it could possibly be an okay match but more likely it's not.

    I think the only feud being properly built is Becky/Shayna.

    Orton is doing the same thing every week on his own although the crowd are engaged with it.

    Charlotte/Rhea is very dull.

    The rest? There are 5 Raws and Smackdowns left before Mania. We'll probably see John, Edge, Brock and Bill two times before then, once each on the go-homes which is going to leave Fiend, Randy, Drew and Roman twiddling their thumbs for the majority of the road to Mania.

    They should of had Bray come out as the firehouse funfly version and offer the challenge and over the few weeks hes fueding with the alter ego and promising 'Hes' not going to appear at mania' and then a ****ed up fiend faces attacks Cena at the go home mania show

    I hope Edge vs Orton is street fight as i think that would suit the feud at this stage.

    I think there’s an ad that’s billing it as a No Holds Barred Match. Which makes sense.

    Would have thought they'd go unsanctioned route.

    It could be yes. The tampa bay city council(not the name but you get the point) are meeting tomorrow to presumably discuss the next steps in how they as a city will deal with the coronavirus. I think it's looking less and less likely that the event will happen as WWE would like it to happen.we may get an empty arena event. I could be wrong but given the way it seems to be going it's unlikely it will go ahead without any impact.
