Okay we know Wrestlemania is technically a week long event, although the actual even takes place on the Sunday and as the years go by the event is getting longer and longer. No matter what time zone you are in sitting through over 7 hours of wrestling can be tiring. One way I've thought could help with this is spreading Wrestlemania over 2 days, the Saturday and Sunday. Obviously there would be some problems with this, such as Smackdown moving to Firday, fititng everything else in the schedule, ticket prices etc. That would be for WWE to figure out, just wanitng to know how everyone feels about the idea.
Personally I'd be for it. I prefered Wrestlemania when it was around 8 matches on the main card and it was essentially the best of the best. Now with more champions, females having a bigger role and the stakced roster I don't think 8 matches is possible. Loads would be left off the card.
I would be sure to make sure each night has a mix of Raw and Smackdown matches, looking something like this.
Saturday- Andre the Giant battle royal (Pre-show), Raw Tag Titles, US Title, Cruserweight Title, Women's Tag Titles, Universal Championship plus other singles matches.
Sunday- Womens battle royal (Pre-show), Smackdown Tag Titles, IC Title, Women's Championship, WWE Championship plus other singles matches.
I'd have each night clock in at just under 4 hours (exluding the pre-show). I feel this would allow for the main event matches on each night get good time, without having to cut elsewhere. I also think it would help the crowd remain interested for the whole show. My only concern would be if the first night was terrible then it could put a dampner on the second night.

I'd prefer them to go back to 4 hours.

I think a 2 Day WrestleMania event would be great. It would spread out the card better, and could give more time to each match. I would put all the Championship Title matches on Sunday, and all of the non-Championship Title matches on Satuday. With NXT Takeover on Friday, I would move the Hall Of Fame to the Sunday before the Raw and Smackdown go home episodes. With Raw at 3 hours, and the rumors of Smackdown going to 3 hours on Fox, I'd make these 2 days go 4 hours each, with a 1 hour kickoff show. Using WrestleMania 35, here’s my card.
Day 1
No Holds Barred
Triple H vs. Batista
Kurt Angle's farewell match
Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin
Falls Count Anywhere
Shane McMahon vs. The Miz
Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre
AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton
30-man André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
17-woman WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal
Day 2
WWE Universal Championship Title match
WWE Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman) vs. 2019 Royal Rumble Winner, Seth Rollins
WWE World Championship Title match
WWE World Champion, Daniel Bryan (with Rowan) vs. Kofi Kingston (with the New Day (Big E and Xavier Woods))
WWE Raw Women's Championship and WWE SmackDown Women's Championship Winner Takes All Triple Threat Title match
WWE Raw Women's Champion, Ronda Rousey vs. WWE SmackDown Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair vs. 2019 Royal Rumble Winner, Becky Lynch
WWE Raw Tag Team Championship Title match
WWE Raw Tag Team Champions, The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson) vs. Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder
WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Title match
WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) vs. Aleister Black and Ricochet vs. Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura (with Lana) vs. The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus)
WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Title match
WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, The Boss 'n' Hug Connection (Bayley and Sasha Banks) vs. The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) vs. Nia Jax and Tamina vs. Beth Phoenix and Natalya
WWE Intercontinental Championship Title match
WWE Intercontinental Champion, Bobby Lashley (with Lio Rush) vs. Finn Bálor
WWE United States Championship Title match
WWE United States Champion, Samoa Joe vs. Rey Mysterio
WWE Cruiserweight Championship Title match
WWE Cruiserweight Champion, Buddy Murphy vs. Tony Nese

Dumb idea. Then you'll just have so many debates on who goes on when, why didn't this person go here or on the day. It's a stupid idea. It so makes the event mean less. Just make it a good 3 hour show and just because it's WrestleMania doesn't mean EVERYONE on the roster needs to be on it.

Why do you always insist on putting "Championship Title" it is a bit redundant considering the words are interchangeable. |

They should book the best show they can, which isn't what they've been doing the past few years. It's been switched from their top show to a showcase sales pitch. There is no need to cram everyone in on the card for no reason other than to get everyone on it.
Making the event 2 days doesn't solve this. It treats the symptom and not the disease, if you will.
Just book the best show you can without setting some sort of quota like they seem to do.

I wouldn’t mind 3 locations like WM2 again. Maybe do the kickoff in London 10:00-12:00 local time, first half of the main show on the east coast, and 2nd half on the west. Give the kickoff a big match.

Mania 35 was one of the best ever. Leave it alone.

WrestleMania Sunday-one day and one day only is how I will always consider it, so def. a no for me. WrestleMania Axxess the other days is fine enough for the whole circus leading up to it.

Rather a 12 hour show than it spanning two days

Rather a 12 hour show than it spanning two days I agree, they're gonna have a hard time getting people to pay for two expensive tickets to two Manias. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but you'll undoubtedly have people who'd rather go to one of the nights over the other and they might have trouble selling the stadium. |

I don't think it's a terrible idea, just isn't for me. Wouldn't completely shock me if they went for something similar in the future |
