Stone Cold is already after a few beers.

I think Carlito doesn't feel as bad after that.

ThePott · 21-04-2025 02:57AM

What is the logic behind saying both nights were 'sold out' even though Night 2 had more people, doesn't make any sense.

Necro · 21-04-2025 02:59AM

Did Austin hit someone in the crowd when he crashed there? They looked a little concerned about someone...

looks like it. Nick Kahn went over to her. Austin has done that think loads of time and never touched any barrier.

SureYWouldntYa · 21-04-2025 03:10AM

Wonder whose idea those bikes were in Cody’s entrance, that did not across well nevermind main event of Wrestlemania well

el Fenomeno · 21-04-2025 03:23AM

This main event is unfortunately very dull so far.

el Fenomeno · 21-04-2025 03:38AM

My goodness. To think someone wrote that finish, and nobody spoke up or objected. That was 1999 WCW stuff.

Furious-Red · 21-04-2025 03:39AM

That was shite

Rock probably came up with it, let's be honest

J. Marston · 21-04-2025 03:40AM

That match was good up until that clown showed up. An ending written for social media engagement and clicks. Wánk.

SureYWouldntYa · 21-04-2025 03:40AM

That finish was just atrocious

jim-jam · 21-04-2025 03:40AM

Awful. Just awful shite.

ThePott · 21-04-2025 03:41AM

Underwhelming main event which is a shame. Certainly still plenty of good stories to tell with a heel Cena but so far they haven't been able to capitalize on the him turning heel.

No Rock but Travis Scott is odd.

SureYWouldntYa · 21-04-2025 03:41AM

Also 10 years from that other awful tug of war between Brock and Roman, that one was almost as bad

Tom1991 · 21-04-2025 03:42AM

that’s a nice way to pour cold water on a fun era.

Dreadful main event

jim-jam · 21-04-2025 03:45AM

Jesus to think of what we got a year ago and this is all they could come up with now.

Necro · 21-04-2025 04:09AM

I think on the whole Night 2 was so much stronger than Night 1. Highlights for me were the women's triple threat which probably would beat most Mania main events for quality in all honesty.

Drew and Priest was a good match too, definitely benefited both from being a street fight.

Fatal 4 Way was great too with a satisfying finish that opens more doors going forward in terms of storylines.

Orton's open challenge was fine. Nice surprise seeing Hendry and the RKO outta nowhere spot was good to finish too.

Paul/Styles was decent, if a bit underwhelming.

Becky's return was good, great reaction for her too and Lyra being the second Irish person to hold two belts high at Mania was cool. A bit disappointed Liv didn't get the win though after a stellar year from her.

Main event was mediocre. Finisher spam again annoyed me particularly the Avalanche AA being kicked out of. Then Travis Scott being the guy to interfere just fell completely flat. Crowd seemed to be happy with the result but it was a terrible finish. Two many low blows deciding main events, Punk, Roman and now Cody across the two nights!

Cotts72 · 21-04-2025 06:41AM

appauling finish in comparison to last year. Travis Scott should not be a defining figure in your main event title change. TKO Rock is doing his best to alienate anyone from gibing a **** about his appearances considering he has no showed since EC

Apple Dumpling · 21-04-2025 07:06AM

A much better night overall that was capped off with just the most pathetic and horrible ending. Dom really is the most entertaining talent they have. Very happy for Joe Hendry but proof a meme can get over so much it gets a wrestlemania spot. WWE showing what it thinks of TNA jobbing out its world champion in 3 minutes.

PTH2009 · 21-04-2025 09:05AM

A good night for us Irish in Vegas

So pissed off The Rock couldn't be fucked showing up. Like wtf was the point in him been involved with Cena's heel turn. It could easily of worked without his big ego

The Glass sathers was a special moment

BTW won't be buying ye all fancy cars anytime soon, the slot and blackjack machines are killing me

cena · 21-04-2025 10:06AM

What a load of crap the main event was. Cody is much better than this.

Womens match was great

DM_7 · 21-04-2025 10:27AM

Right ending but poorly done in how they go to it. Same as night 1 with low blows, third party involved and loads of super kick outs.

NXT easily had the best main event of the WWE weekend but that they did a good job of having big things happen at the end of both Mania nights. Mania last year was about finishing a story and this year it was like they finished what was booked but that they have set up the year ahead rather too.

The weekend peaked for me when Dom won in terms of how the match was put together and the genuine way the crowd reacted to it all.

The Ayatolla · 21-04-2025 10:51AM

So glad I went to bed and didn’t stay up. Travis Scott involvement is up there with David Arquette levels of cringe.
What are they thinking 🤣

Mitch Connor · 21-04-2025 10:58AM

Watched the main event this morning and so glad i didn't stay up for it. the match itself was quite dull, imo, and then a train wreck once Travis Scott came out.

And Cody doing the 'right thing' by not hitting Cena with the belt is just stupid. He alabama slammed Owens into a ladder but won't hit Cena with a belt? Meh.

Just an utter bore of a fued in the end.

Wonder if they continue it on to the next PPV or move both guys on to new fueds. We all want Cena vs Ortan and Punk to happen, but they don't have to happen right now. Punk vs Rollins makes sense.

I kindad want them to build Cena vs WWE in terms of the belt - culminating in a last match based on if he retires with the belt or it is 'saved' - with Cody taking it back at the last.

Lord TSC · 21-04-2025 11:02AM

The inverse of night one, for me. A really strong card overall, but a super weak main event dragging the show down.

The triple threat was brilliant, and easily my favorite match of the night.

Dom winning the IC title was great, and I spotted Finn grinning wildly at one point during the celebrations.

Becky returning wasn't a shock but was a great moment, and it's great to see the two Irish women winning the titles. "Lyra Two Belts" also sets up a great Becky turn in a bit too. Kind of want their match to be in Dublin in a few months.

Crowd pop for Hendry was cool.

The main event…..I'm happy with the result, but the issue is I was expecting a lot more run ins. For me, the whole point of Cena flipping heel was they knew he wasn't up for doing a proper one on one match with Cody, cause he's way past his prime now. So to see the extent of it be a drawn out Travis Scott run in was super underwhelming. Cody looks a bit of an idiot at the end of a great reign, as the story of "Cody doesn't want to be a bad guy" kind of clashes with the story they just told vs Owens a few weeks ago about the lengths Cody will go to in a bid to keep his title. Cena needs people helping him, but Scott is not that guy.

If you swap the main events from both nights, the Night 2 would have been a really, really great Mania. Between the two shows, there was enough there to make a 10/10 show, but the split and some bad decisions really ended up hurting both nights though, imo.

Lord TSC · 21-04-2025 11:03AM

Also, that poor woman getting hit by Carlito with the announce table, AND having Stone Cold ram her. Say she'll be getting a great payout, lol

Pentecost · 21-04-2025 11:06AM

Just watched this morning. Enjoyed it up to the main event. There was no need for Travis Scott in the first place and then to have him slowly wander to the ring holding up the match was stupid. Then the 'tormented Cody' was bull. Don't have a particular issue with Cena winning but the finish was nonsense.

On the plus side the rest of the show was pretty good. The women's title match was absolutely fantastic, really great work from all three. Good to see Becky back, she looks great and a nice Mania moment for us Irish with her and Lyra. Hopefully there's a bit more to the story still though in terms of who took out Bayley.

CastorTroy · 21-04-2025 11:17AM

Good to hear the reaction to Dom and see a similar reaction here. Even though I said before that Dom would get a good rection if he turned face, I still find it mad that it has got to the point where he gets this reaction considering it's not long ago he had go away heat. Bron clearly never got the memo that all participants would wear masks when coming out.

Watching Penta, I was wondering if his family was there and maybe Rey's family was there for the weekend to watch him as well and so got to see Rey in his surprise match. Must be kind of bittersweet for Rey, getting his Mania debut but at such short notice that that there was not much time for any kind of special entrance or, like I said, get his family there. But getting to debut the same weekend as, and even before, his brother must make it special. Shows the confidence they have in him that they chose him over any of the other Luchadores. Unfortunately it was a loss.

I don't think anyone was hurt due to Austin, but I think he gave the woman a shock.

I think someone messed up with the ad for Doom, having it after the match rather than before, to explain Drew's entrance.

Hendry and Becky's appearances made me smile anyway.

Furious-Red · 21-04-2025 11:28AM

Last nights card started strong with the triple threat, Priest/Drew, Fatal 4 Way being great matches, Orton squashing Hendry no shock but its a pity because KO vs Orton could have been a fantastic match, Womens tag match was fine, feel bad for Bayley missing out on a mania match for Becky's return, they should have had Raquel take the pin not Liv, didnt really pay attention to AJ/Logan especially having styles take the pin.

The main event was an absolute bore, Cody's entrance was cheesy, Cena having so much control in the match was awful, no big moments throughout, ref bump I was hoping for some decent run ins (including the Rock) but waiting for Travis to do his lame long entrance didn't help, then it was over. If you compare what Cody had to endure last year vs Reigns to what happened last night make him look weak/stupid on how Cena won. This Cena turn without Rock has been crap imo, no reasoning why he joined the Rock and no appearances from him adds to the **** show. If they had swapped main events then I would have been happy with Sundays card overall.

As mentioned in the thread the amount of camera shots to "celebrities" in the crowd who sadly I didnt recognise 90% of them. The fact so many of the matches were sponsored by products made it look tacky.
