So, WrestleMania has a good 4 or so main event matches planned, but what do you think the 5+ undercard matches will be? Here are my thoughts:
Daniel Bryan vs. Kane
The story write itself. I'd have Team Hell No drop the titles asap against perhaps PTP. Their match happens at mania and we can have one turn face and another turn heel.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Chris Jericho
Ziggler could even wager his MITB match against Jericho or could even be a ladder match. Jericho could say that he's kept an eye on Ziggler for a while now and that he's looking forward to his future career, but tells Ziggler that if he thinks he can cash in the briefcase, and becomes champion, he'll have to learn to defend the title. Jericho then says that he wants to challenge again for the MITB because he feels the third time's the charm for Ziggler to lose the MITB (first time against Jericho, second time against Cena).
Antonio Cesaro vs. Justin Gabriel (US Championship)
I think this would be a perfect opportunity for Gabriel to finally launch strongly into the midcard. Cesaro says no American can beat him for the US title, so he can keep that tagline because Gabriel's from Africa. Gabriel beat Cesaro back in the fall, but it was non-title of course. So with a week of exposure or winning a #1 contender's match or something, Gabriel can earn a match with Cesaro at Mania. Gabriel has a huge crowd response and I believe he can garner a huge face response from the "WWE Universe", plus we get a new US champion.
Wade Barrett vs. Randy Orton vs. Sheamus (IC Championship)
This match is simple enough. We've seen more Barrett/Sheamus/Orton singles matches than we'd care to see, so why not throw them into a last triple threat for the IC title? They're all on the verge of being true main-eventers again, so they can move on to bigger and better things after WrestleMania.

No idea and no idea on direction.
Seemed like a Kane/D.Bryan feud was brewing...now maybe not.
Sheamus is feuding with Barrett and the Shield. While Barrett's feud with Dallas seems to have been dropped.
Ryback didn't get involved with the Shield today.
Jericho left involved with the Shield and not Ziggler.
Ziggler keeps losing.
Orton got involved with the Shield.

It seems anyone who is not Cena, Rock, Hunter, Lesnar, or Punk is kinda lost in the schuffle.

I could be wrong, but it seems like they are building toward a Big Show v. Booker T match.

Orton got involved with the Shield. Exactly, there's really no direction at this point, and there's only 4 more Raws until Mania. Tonight made it seem like there will be a Shield vs. Sheamus/Orton/  (Ryback?), but then before that Sheamus was poking at Barrett. Ziggler just lost to Ryback. There was really no story progression tonight AT ALL, asides from the opening segment with Brock and Triple H. I hope they will place Ziggler in a meaningful match at the very least, but I have really low expectations for WM undercard. Cesaro lost to Orton for the 10th time on Raw, so I don't know what they plan for him. The tag division seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. |

I think that match will be a 10-man elimination tag team match which will be a way to get all the mid-carders since there will be no MITB ladder match. As for the Divas, they could bring Maria Menunous back. |

There's still time for the Mania picture to sort itself out. There are 5 more weeks of TV until the event.

Kinda wish they did had this: Ryback vs Mark Henry Sheamus vs Barrett Orton vs Cesaro Team Hell No vs Shield Ziggler v Jericho I could like this... The only match I'd like from these is Ziggler/Jericho. Ryback/Henry sounds like a snoozefest. We've seen Sheamus/Barrett and Orton/Cesaro more times than we can count. Sheamus/Barrett is always the go-to match on SD! and now seems the same for Raw. I have no desire for Hell No and Shield when the logical thing for Hell No to do now is to split up. I think Hell No need to drop the belts asap and feud up until Mania where they go one on one. Goldust/Cody Rhodes would be fantastic and next week's oldschool would be a perfect time to reintroduce Goldust coming off of the Rumble. Honestly, I really like Cesaro and Barrett as a team, since they're both European I think they'd be a great tag team, but they're also both midcard champions and heels. While Orton/Cesaro and Sheamus/Barrett has been way overdone, I would be open to some kind of creative match or stipulation between the four of them. Maybe a midcard title unification match? Fatal Fourway? I don't know, but those two match-ups don't appeal to me. Here's what I would do: Daniel Bryan vs. Kane Dolph Ziggler vs. Chris Jericho (could wage MITB again, maybe even a ladder match?) Antonio Cesaro vs. Justin Gabriel (US) Wade Barrett vs. Sheamus vs. Randy Orton (IC) |

Ryback has lost on 5 consecutive PPVs now. It's sort of taking away his luster. I hope WWE comes up with something big for him for Mania.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ryback go up against Undertaker in an attempt to ending his losing streak by ending the streak.

After watching Main Event and Smackdown I had this thought of a Mania Undercard, I don't often put much thought into it, but I'm doing this based off of TV, with 1 match that has the potential to happen and the other, just to get guys on the show. So here is my mania card
After SD & Main Event with Cody and Kaitlyin developing some sort of relationship, I could possibly see it happening where we get Cody & Kaitlyn v. Ziggler & AJ at Mania with the Diva's belt and MITB Breifcase on the line, AJ convinces Ziggler to put MITB on the line so she could win the Diva's belt. Cody & Kaitlyin win, and Big E & AJ turn on Ziggler, Rhodes cashes in at WM and wins the WHC revealing he used Kaitlyn to get the case and post mania we have
Rhodes v. Ziggler for the WHC.
The rest of the card would be
Rock v. Cena - WWE Championship
Del Rio v. Swagger - WHC
Undertaker v. Punk
Lesnar v. HHH
Ryback, Orton & Jericho v. The Shield
Sheamus v. Barrett - Possibly IC Title match
Big Show v. Booker T
Kane v. Daniel Bryan - Still as Tag Champions facing off
Cesaro v. Sandow v. Miz v. Truth v. Kingston v. Henry - US Title Ladder Match To have a ladder match to replace MITB and get guys on the show, plus I think it would be pretty cool.

I sure hope to GOD they don't throw Ziggler into another tag match at Mania. |

Maybe Shield Is the undercard. Dean Ambrosse vs Randy Orton. Seth Rollins vs Chris Jericho. Roman Reigns vs Kane or someone.

On paper this looks to be a huge let down for a Wrestlemania,by which I mean they have a great roster and part timers like Rock,Taker,Triple H,Jericho and Lesnar all their but having then in mismatch bouts i.e not using the talent and matches to their full ability.
I would guess that the undercard might be along the lines of,
The Shield .Vs Sheamus,Orton and Ryback
Dolph Ziggler .Vs Chris Jericho
Big Show .Vs Booker T
and then a Kane/Bryan match up or tag team match and lastly some type of multiple man match up to get guys like Barrett,Henry,Kingston,Miz,Ceasro...ect onto the show.
Again if I would have been booking Wrestlemania this year here's what I would have went with.
John Cena .Vs The Undertaker
The Rock .Vs Brock Lesnar
CM Punk .Vs Ryback(Royal Rumble Winner)-WWE Title
Dolph Ziggler .Vs Chris Jericho-World Title
The Shield .Vs Triple H,Randy Orton and Sheamus
Money in the Bank Match
Antonio Cesaro .Vs Daniel Bryan-US Title
Rhodes Scholars .Vs New Age Outlaws-WWE Tag Team Titles
