    Mod Note 3rd April: While obviously everyone wants to talk Mania, we'd ask people NOT to talk about betting odds in this thread. Often times, they go well beyond speculation and into concrete spoiler territory (as opposed to spoilers which might change on the day, etc). We have a seperate thread for people who want to discuss Wrestling odds.

    Only a few days really. After the Rumble I'm sure there will be people looking beyond the next PPV and wanting to discuss Mania

    Well historically seeds are set at survivor series, Rock and Cena, Goldberg and Lesner, Taker and Kane...Charlotte and Rousey?

    Think this is the time. Brock will be heading to the UFC after Mania I would imagine, when is his wwe contract up? Heyman is too good a character to leave off TV, him and Seth would be excellent together.

    Thats why you need the MITB match at Mania, to fit in 6-8 top guys who don't have anything important going on at Mania, the rest of the roster can be in the battle royal

    With so much top talent on the card and even a 5 hour Mania can only have so much, it makes far more sense at Mania for me

    Just thinking the best booking for the women going into WM for me would be having Sasha & Bailey win the Tag Belts early in the PPV then have Charlotte beat Asuka mid card and finally have Becky beat Ronda in the main event after a Ronda's 4 Horse women interfere only for Sasha, Bailey & Charlotte run in and run them off and the show closes with the WWE 4 Horse Women all standing tall holding up their belts staring down Ronda and her Horse Women on the ramp.

    While not all in singles competition, he's already faced all three Shield members at Mania. The Ambrose match at Mania 32. Reigns at Mania 31 and 34. And he took on Rollins and Reigns in the main event of Mania 31.

    A mania without Cena and taker will be odd

    Any signs they will added to the card ?

    Meltzer says Cena is likely in some form (he was original booked for a match against Lars Sullivan, before that fell through) but Taker isn't.

    It's 5 weeks away so he needs to get a move on if he wants a match

    Not really. It’ll probably be a throw away match anyway so it can be sorted out pretty quickly. I could see him wanting to put over one of the guys they’ve brought up from NXT. Aleister Black maybe.

    Post Fastlane they'll ramp up an extra notch with matches for Mania. Thrills and spills galore on Raw the next night imo.

    Stupid having two PPVs between Rumble and Mania, I'd have none and just build from post Rumble to Mania but apparently our attention spans aren't that long any more and we have to be over-saturated with PPVs that mean nothing in larger context :(

    I'd have one between the rumble and mania so as to advance what was started at the rumble but enough space to let the feuds build. When mania used to be in march there was no time or need for two PPVs. At least it's not like it was post second brand spit. Christ I don't know about anyone else but I stopped watching nxt for a bit because with two ppvs a month plus raw and smackdown it was too much. No need for it.

    I hope the undertaker is no where near a ring ever again. And cena I could take or leave him being part of wrestlemania. I'm not a fan of him really.
