I think everything changes hands but IC and US. No one stands out as someone who should beat Gunther and Theory needs a win much more than his presumable opponent Yeah,I think that's why they're have Sheamus pinning Drew for the IC title,then GUNTHER can stay a unstoppable force and Sheamus finally gets the IC but I agree with Theory. If it’s Cena he faces,I think Theory gets his huge Mania moment and they get a new star out of the match. I dig the triple threat with Sheamus pinning Drew. Gunther should be protected as much as possible so I’m with that idea. Theory HAS to win at Mania imo. He’s finally gotten some stability under him the last couple months so he needs to continue to build. A win over Cena is massive to a guy like Theory whereas Cena’s legacy is unharmed.

I’m going to wait till I’m there for Night 1 and see exactly how close I can get through stubhub. I bought nosebleed tickets but feel like I can get pretty close for a few grand.

Lot of people complains about not many stars on the roster,if done right Mania can put a couple more on the map especially Theory if he can get that big Mania win against Big Match John.

Man, how are people still doubting Cody is the man? Didn't they just announce record ticket sales for live events after he was announced? The cheers aren't going anywhere either. Its actually quite amazing how inconsequential the IWC really is in the grand scheme of things. WWE are all in on him and they're absolutely making the right decision putting him in this spot.
I do hope Sami gets his moment too though. He's been great and I still hope they can build up the tag title match and have it main event night 1.

Well we get Cena on RAW in 2 weeks. So one has to assume that’s where we get the Theory/Cena match made official.

Meltzer talked about it, once Cody was announced at being back on live events, those live events sold an average of 2k tickets the two weeks following the rumble, he didn’t doubt that some of it could have been the bloodline angle at the rumble but he felt like it was Cody.

Having two guys to be faces of the company isn’t a bad problem to have. the wwe has traditionally done its best business when they have that 1A babyface and the 1B babyface
Hogan/Macho Austin/Rock Cena/Punk
Have Cody headline one set and Sami another and boom $$$$

I love Sami but I just don't see him being this big after the Bloodline stuff is over. Since Trips is in control,I see him staying close to the top of the card but I just don't see him a year from now being on the same level as guys like Roman,Cody,Seth and Brock. Maybe that's more to do with me or Vince's treatment of him since getting to the main roster but he feels more like he could be a Kofi then Bryan but I hope I'm wrong and he's main eventing Mania next year.

I'm just watching whatculture's video on wrestlers who could miss Mania this year with names like, The New Day, LA Knight, Karrion Kross, The Miz, Johnny Gargano, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Braun Strowman, Ricochet, Bobby Lashley how are they gonna fit these guys in?
The obvious choice is to have Braun and Ricochet's team break down and have them feud but I feel they're too new of a team to go breaking up and expecting people to really be invested, unless you have Braun brutalise Ricochet every week in the lead up and play for people sympathy... Just don't know what to do with these guys, have em fight New Day?
Bobby vs Brock Its gonna happen I'm almost positive, all this BS with Omos is a work, Lashely will reform the Hurt Business and thats how he'll get his win at Wrestlemania.
Drew McIntyre vs GUNTHER vs Sheamus I don't wanna see The Bangers Bros disband.. however they get to this triple threat, weather it be a tournament on the go home episode of smackdown that ends in a double count out results in a triple threat, or GUNTHER goes full badass and agrees to beat them both, that team needs to carry on, GUNTHER wins. Drew and Sheamus shake hands after.
But that still leaves us with a load of great talent not being used or dumped in the Andre the giant battle royal, which has now been downgraded to smackdown... I would love to see The Money In The Bank ladder match return to mania, great spot match, features a load of guys and it has a real point to it, I know they've already announced MITB for the UK show, but just swap that out for the King Of The Ring tournament, play into the fact they'll he in the UK around the time of the Coronation of Ol' Charlie

There are a ton of people I’d love to be on the show but not everyone needs to be on the show. No battle royals. Just book two really solid nights of wrestling. Like they did last year.

Neh I guess, I just don't see the point in the battle royal, its just filler and a cheap way to get guys on the show. Atleast with MITB there's championship implications..

I wouldn't mind the battle royals at all if they was fighting for something, give the winner a spot in the MITB match,a mid card title shot for the mens or just something more then a trophy. I do agree I think MITB should've been moved back to Mania,I would guess maybe the guy/girl they have in mind for the winner already has a match for Mania setup and we get the move next year.
For the guys and girls not on the Mania card, Im thinking Becky and Bayley will be involved with Lita/Trish or in the women's tag championship match somehow,maybe that's how Liv gets on the card too. That pretty much gets all the bigger women names taking cared of,I wouldn't consider many of the men left off being a big deal. I would love to see Escobar,Ricochet, Gable, Preist, Johnny etc get a match but its a lot of matches as is,so I'm good with whats rumored already. No Braun or Kross sounds like a good thing personally

Internally Rhea vs Charlotte is main eventing Night 1, Cody vs Roman is main eventing Night 2 and Bianca vs Asuka is on Night 2.
