Mania really needs to not have 13-15 matches this year. I personally feel that the last 2 have suffered from being massive cards. They have a massive roster. They want to fit everyone on the show. It’s just the way it is.

It’s just the way it is. Right. There's way too many popular guys and girls on each brand to only have it 8-9 matches. Hell, I can see Takeover New Orleans having 7 matches this year.

Maybe it just me but I really felt that the WWE blew their load to early on Brock/Strowman & Cena/Reigns at No Mercy.Those two matches should have been saved for this years Wrestlemania.If you had those two matches plus Styles/Nakamura and the rumored Rock/Rousey Vs. Triple H/McMahon match up that would have been a stellar card and better then Cena/Taker & Reigns/Cena that where getting.

Read a rumour today that DA MAN Goldberg might be added to the Andre Battle Royal. It said they were going to be filming part of the Andre docko (I wonder if it’s the one Simmons is making) and adding Goldberg will increase name value to the battle royal, and increase a bit of the buzz for the project. We know he is going into the Hall of Fame, so he will be in town...
I’m always up for Goldberg - in fact - I’m a big old Goldberg mark, and I hope he wins it easily. Can’t be any worse that Mojo surely....

Considering Jordan is apparently out for Wrestlemania and the events on Raw this week, I think Rollins-Balor could be Raw's workhorse match at WM. They have history that's been hinted at recently. That prospect is better than the supposed original plans, with Finn (perhaps) serving as Taker's understudy for Cena and Seth being positioned with Jason Jordan (no offense meant toward the guy, but come on.)
On one hand, it would be a stellar match with both guys potentially bringing out attires that will bust Mattel's budget.
On the other, we would have to suffer through Michael Cole repeating ad nauseum Seth's soon-to-be adopted nickname of "Demon Slayer."

Balor/Rollins appears to be one of the only options for the two of them. They have a bit of an issue with the upper mid-card on Raw for Wrestlemania. Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, and The Miz all need something to do. It seems obvious that Balor faces Rollins and Strowman faces Miz. But, then you need to put Kurt Angle in the Rousey spot, and that's a mess. Kurt shouldn't be wrestling, especially with Triple H. I like the idea of Strowman or Rollins tagging with Ronda. But then, you have an odd man out. It's a bit messy.

Does mean a few big names get shafted but it makes sense, it would make for an exciting and unpredictable opener for the show too.

But then, you have an odd man out. It's a bit messy. I groaned when I saw Seth’s name among potential partners for Ronda. I don’t want to see him mix it up with HHH again. I think it should be Braun, since they planted those seeds at Survivor Series. My perfect scenario is Rollins is added to the Universal Title match and it’s a triple threat. Since that’s technically a rematch from 31. Then Balor would take on Miz for IC title. Miztourage and Good Brothers at ringside. I also read reports that the Andre battle royal is gonna be featured prominitley this year due to the documentary on HBO. Can see Braun winning that.

Would be such a kick in the teeth if Braun was wasted in the battle royal again.

You all speculating undercard matches when we knows it's probably gonna be an IC title ladder match cluster to get everyone on the card, and no effort build by just having weeks of the ladder match participants going against each other on RAW.
Miz vs Braun vs Hardy vs Wyatt vs Rollins vs Balor. Maybe add Elias in place of one of them if one of them teams with Ronda, or add him anyway to make it 7 people.

I'm worried Undertaker is going to lose again this year. I just have a bad feeling Cena is going to challenge Undertaker to a career vs. career match.
I don't see Cena losing and heading to Hollywood full time, as Cena's recent matches have proven he's still very very very good....Undertaker, on the other hand, probably should have called it quits after WrestleMania 30.
As it is very much the mentality of the old school wrestlers to "go out with a loss".....I have a feeling that Undertaker will end up 23-3 with an OFFICIAL career ending loss to John Cena this year.

Anyone think there's a chance Braun is pit in the Andre Battle Royal to set up a Braun/Goldberg confrontation?

I've always wanted to see Cena vs. Taker at WM back when the streak was still alive. If it happens now, I feel it's just being done for a sake of it being done and I'm not that emotionally invested in it. Neither man benefits from a win and career vs career isn't even a good selling point because it will be obvious Cena will win. What would be point be of the Undertaker coming out of retirement for one more match just to lose?

I have no problems with a match like this. Seems like every WM has one of these multi-man ladder matches and they usually deliver a solid mid-card match with some memorable high spots. It is definitely a step up from being the Andre Battle Royal for anyone in the match.

What would be point be of the Undertaker coming out of retirement for one more match just to lose? Pretty spot on,years ago when "The Streak" was around Cena/Taker was one if not the biggest matches that WWE could make but they blew it and now years later with a totally broken down Taker without "The Streak" and Cena being a part timer doesn't do anything for me. I thought years ago the prefect match up would have been and "I Quit" match up between the two with Taker's Streak on the line.Would have added a huge amount to the match up with the Streak being on the line and the fact that neither Cena or Taker have ever quit or said I quit in their careers. Really felt even being a crapty match that when Taker lost the Streak to Brock at WM xXx that should have been his retirement.Again match sucked and losing to Brock make zero sense and the person to end the Streak should have been Cena or a younger guy that could have used the rub going forward.

The fact Undertaker and Cena haven't wrestled one on one since Vengeance 2003 is staggering. How did WWE manage to that up for 15 years? Its a big time money match that could headline any Wrestlemania and I'm not even sure I want to see it anymore.

Or how could the pass on Taker/Sting when he finally joined the WWE.The WWE has proven over many years that the pass up a lot of dream match ups like Austin/Hogan,Sting/Taker,Cena/Taker,DX/nWo...ect in favor of matches that are less interesting or if they do ever pull the trigger on a dream match its past it being really interesting at all or have any true impact.
