WrestleMania XXXIII

[Andy]

Let's make some predictions we can look back on and laugh at in a year.

I think the rumoured original top three for this year could well be revisited:

Rollins vs Ambrose vs Reigns
Undertaker vs Cena
Lesnar vs Wyatt

Beyond that, tough to call. They'll probably do Lesnar/Wyatt at Summerslam so maybe Lesnar vs Owens or Cesaro.

The Usos are destined to be on the pre-show again, there will definitely be a ladder match and a battle royal.

Sasha vs Charlotte or Bayley I'd think.

Who does Triple H face? Do we get a match with Rock or a mixed tag?

I'd like to see Rusev and Owens as two top heels and Zayn, AJ and Cesaro as well booked faces.

[Rancid_Planet]

Just guessing

Shield vs Lesnar in a fatal four way
Cena/Taker
Bray vs HHH
Bayley/Sasha for the title
AJ vs Owens
Sami Zayn wins IC title ladder match

[JT4104]

Shield 3-way with Ambrose finally getting that big win.

Lesnar/Nakamura with Nakamura getting the first clean win over Lesnar in I dont know how many years.

Owens vs AJ 30 min Iron man for U.S. Title.

Sami wins 5 say IC Ladder match against Corbin, Roode, Ziggler and Miz.

Taker beats Cena in his retirement match.

Balor beats Jericho

Enzo and Cass finally taste WWE tag team gold.

Joe over Orton.

[Eddie Brock]

I'm actually going to predict that heel Cena (who will be massively over as a face) will be fed to Reigns in the main. Not sure on heel Cena, but that will be the match.

[Vee-Bee]

WWE Championship Match
Seth Rollins (c) Vs Roman Reigns Vs Dean Ambrose

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Samoa Joe (c) Vs AJ Styles

The Undertaker Vs Finn Balor w/Doc Gallows & Ken Anderson

Brock Lesnar Vs Shinsuke Nakamura

Sami Zayn Vs Kevin Owens

Womens Championship Match
Sasha Banks (c) Vs Bayley

US Championship Match
Cesaro (c) Vs John Cena

TLC Tag Match
Enzo & Cass (c) Vs The Dudley Boys Vs The New Day

[RuneEdge]

The Undertaker Vs Finn Balor w/Doc Gallows & Ken Anderson

Kinda prefer Karl Anderson to that asshole.

[Honey_Badger]

I'm going to say they blow their wad early on a shield triple threat and we see that match at Summerslam. Reigns retains and Lesnar defeats Wyatt. If Cena and Undertaker wrestle at 33, then Lesnar v Reigns II main events with Reigns going over clean. If not, then Reigns faces heel Cena.

In a perfect world, Ambrose would win a Shield triple threat for the title in the co-main event, Nakumara would go over Owens winning the IC Title, Cesaro becomes the first man to defeat Lesnar and Undertaker wins his retirement match against John Cena.

[Romford Pele]

Taker v Cena
Shield Triple Threat - WWE title
Lesnar v Wyatt
HHH v Nakamura
Sasha Banks v Bayey - Womens title
Charlotte v Asuka
AJ Styles v Samoa Joe
Zayn v Owens - US title
IC Ladder Match - Finn Balor wins
Andre the Giant Battle Royal
TLC Tag Titles - Enzo & Cass/New Day/American Alpha

[mth]

I'm actually going to predict that heel Cena (who will be massively over as a face) will be fed to Reigns in the main. Not sure on heel Cena, but that will be the match.

By next Mania, Reigns will be a full on heel, I'm sure of it.

[Spedizzo]

Roman Reigns, more like Roman LAMES

[chatty]

Roman Reigns v Brock Lesnar - WWE Title
Undertaker v John Cena - lose and you retire match
Bray Wyatt v Kevin Owens
Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose v HHH &
Zayne v AJ v Neville v Kalisto v Crews v Sheamus v Del Rio - IC Ladder Match
Comedy segment with The Rock ends in him beating up Vaudevillains
New Day v American Alpha v Enzo/Cass v Usos - Tag Titles
Hulk Hogan beats up Rusev in an America is the best segment
Ryback v Baron Corbin
Andre Battle Royal IV
Big Show v Shaq
Charlotte v Becky v Sasha v Bayley - Womens Title

[JustDuett]

If Rollins recovers soon enough, I could see them running the Shield triple threat at SS this year. There is no patience in some of the decisions these folks make AND with the 2015-2016 they have had regarding injuries, I can see them being antsy about it so they don't get bit by the injury bug again.

For WM33, I predict we will see:
-Pre-show tag match including the likes of the Vaudevillains, The Colons, Usos, Dudleys, etc
-ARMBAR v4
-Total Women will probably be cancelled by then, so who knows what the women's roster will look like, but I would like to see a multi-woman match with most of the roster left over outside of the Four Horsewomen
-A multi-man ladder match for the IC title (going to become a tradition much like the ARMBAR)
-Owens/Zayn "Final showdown" with a year-long main roster build
-Tag title match hopefully including some mix of New Day, AA, Enzo/Cass (I worry that somehow E&C get fumbled and end up a comedy lower card team for pre-show glory)
-Taker/Cena - career-ending match
-Four Horsewomen fatal 4-way for the Women's title
-Rollins v HHH after the inevitable fallout between the two
-Lesnar/Reigns II for WWE Title - Heel Reigns (4-time champ by then) vanquished by the all-conquering Beast (I'm sure FACE Reigns is still probably going to be "the guy" that one day puts Lesnar down for the 3 count on his way out)

[Romford Pele]

As this is in Orlando, do we think the Rock will wrestle next year?

To there are 4 options if he does:-

1) Mixed tag with Rousey v HHH and Steph
2) Roman Reigns (Reigns will have to be a heel for that one)
3) Undertaker (never faced each other at Mania, would be massive)
4) Lesnar - my personal favourite, would be a huge match and arguably two biggest names Vince could be together

What do you reckon?

[hitster]

If Vince wanted to do Taker vs Cena this year then he'll likely want to do it next year as Taker's career is getting ever near to it's end.

If Taker didn't face Cena then Rollins, Regins, Ambrose in that order would be my choice.

HHH vs Rollins will happen but maybe before then feud could end there

Rollins vs Styles or Balor would be an option I'd look at

If Rock was perpared to do a match they have never done him vs Taker at Mania otherwise he'd likely face HHH or Lesnar

Lesnar vs Joe or Strowman perhaps

[Romford Pele]

I have no interest in a Rock/HHH match. They have had multiple matches back in the day, and I don't think it will be a big draw. The mixed tag option would though.

Rock/Lesnar to me is the money match.

[Fanny Batter]

Rock would only be able to fit in a wrestling match if he knocked acting on the head for a while. So I doubt he does a proper match ever again. I think Baywatch is launching around WM33 so he'll be all hands on deck with that.

I think we get Reigns vs. Cena for the title here. Cena's career is winding down. His film roles last year and this TV show will open more doors for him. I fancy his schedule to start looking like Rock's between WM17 and the Goldberg match where he took several breaks from TV. Putting over "The Man" on his way to that schedule is a smart if not sought after move.

Other than that, I think everything's open. Rollins, Lesnar, Triple H and Undertaker are the other stars at this point. Who knows if 'Taker is done. H might be involved in leadership stuff with Shane. Then there's a whole cluster of stars that could catch on a la Bryan.

[The Law]

Taker/Cena is probably the main event. Probably Taker's retirement match, they wanted to run it this year. Brock/Reigns seems like something that would happen. Triple H/Rollins. Four Horsewomen Fatal Fourway is a fun idea. If Rousey could wrestle I'd probably have her fight Charlotte but I don't expect that to happen.

Don't think we'll see Rock wrestle. Could be his Hall of Fame induction though.

[JustDuett]

Don't think we'll see Rock wrestle. Could be his Hall of Fame induction though.

Pretty good shout right there, I hadn't thought about HoF. I could see him being the headliner next year being in FL and all. Would they pile DB onto Rock's HoF year or maybe hold him off for a while? Don't think we will be getting another WM in Seattle haha, so I doubt we get close to a "home crowd" for DB's induction.

[DeepMo]

I'm all for Brock Lesnar, I just don't wanna see a match full of back suplexes anymore.

[Honey_Badger]

I am cool with a card of Reigns/Lesnar II, Ambrose/Rollins gimmick and Cena/Undertaker.

Complete the mid-card with a mixture of Zayn, Styles, Joe, Owens, Cesaro, Wyatt, Balor, Orton and company.

[lotjx]

I'm all for Brock Lesnar, I just don't wanna see a match full of back suplexes anymore.

Honestly that is all we are going to get from him at this point. He seems to have no desire to improve. Reigns/Lesnar II would be awful.

[DeepMo]

Honestly that is all we are going to get from him at this point. He seems to have no desire to improve. Reigns/Lesnar II would be awful.

To me, it seems like with his matches with Taker he's allowed or does more. With anybody else it just suplex after suplex. Though the fans respond and count every suplex, they're quiet for the rest of the match.

[The Law]

Pretty good shout right there, I hadn't thought about HoF. I could see him being the headliner next year being in FL and all. Would they pile DB onto Rock's HoF year or maybe hold him off for a while? Don't think we will be getting another WM in Seattle haha, so I doubt we get close to a "home crowd" for DB's induction.

Bryan could be a fallback headliner if Rock can't do it next year. Taker and Kurt Angle are two other possibilities. They can also do Triple H whenever they want, so he can step in if needed. Trying to think of some Florida people to induct, Kevin Sullivan is just about the only one who comes to mind. Lex Luger did some work down in Florida, he would be a strong secondary induction.

[Nash Diesel]

I want to see WM 33 headlined by someone who hasn't been wrestling in the WWE since the Ruthless Agression era or before and I definitely don't want to see Roman headline a 3rd WM in a row. The sad thing is, the only way I'd be comfortable with that approach would be a triple threat with Roman, Ambrose, and Rollins but shit even then my desire to see that was mainly for this year or even last year.

You know maybe we see Seth Rollins v. Kevin Owens for the World title or Ambrose v. Fin Balor for the title, something that doesn't involve an Attitude Era guy or a Cena-Orton-Lesnar type.

[Chris Scott]

Just guessing

Shield vs Lesnar in a fatal four way
Cena/Taker
Bray vs HHH
Bayley/Sasha for the title
AJ vs Owens
Sami Zayn wins IC title ladder match

I'd say Shield triple threat and Bayley/Sasha/Becky/Bayley in a 4 way and Taker/Cena.

[Honey_Badger]

Best card and you can't tell me otherwise would be:

Cena/Undertaker
Reigns/Rollins/Ambrose - World Title
Cesaro/Lesnar
Zayn/Owens - IC Title Ladder Match
Banks/Bayley - Women's Title
Balor/Styles

[Chris Scott]

New Day vs Wyatts too.

[mth]

Zayn/Owens' feud is hot right now and clearly being built toward a match already. By next year's Mania, I'm not sure I'd still want to have them going at it one-on-one. I'd like the multi-man IC ladder match to be an annual Mania match, too.

I'd change up your women's match, as well, and have Asuka on the main roster in that one.

[The Law]

I'd say the odds of the main event not including someone old (Cena, Undertaker, HHH) or Roman is roughly zero barring injuries. Trying to come up with plausible main events is pretty tough. Seth vs. Dean would probably be the most likely.

The key pieces are HHH, Roman, Brock, Cena, and Taker. Those matches are going to be the first ones set, and the rest don't really matter all that much in the eyes of Vince and co. They wanted Cena/Taker this year, so the odds of it happening next year if they're both healthy is pretty high. And that basically leaves Brock vs. Roman as the other big match, which makes sense to me.

John Cena v. The Undertaker is probably the only suitable main event for next year's Mania unless someone breaks out huge. But IMHO, I think Cena v. Undertaker is a match they've been sitting on for Mania for years. I would have honestly done this match at WM 30 unless they had legit plans of having Lesnar end the streak in advance and not some usual Vince changing his mind 400 times up until the night of the show type booking.

[Honey_Badger]

I think Rollins/Reigns/Ambrose is a very suitable main event.

[Nash Diesel]

I think Rollins/Reigns/Ambrose is a very suitable main event.

Maybe. I just don't want to see Roman in a 3rd main event in a row unless it's necessary and makes sense. Just throwing together a Shield triple threat to see them go at it, you could find that same match they had in FCW and it would probably look the exact same in-ring wise. Same result too.

[mth]

That's a completely laughable thing to say, ND.

[Nash Diesel]

That's a completely laughable thing to say, ND.

Key word probably, always leave yourself an out

[Donald]

I'd like to see fresh talent up at the top of the card, possibly with current NXT stars, and save the older talent for matches like the Battle Royal.

Only part timer I would like to see have a match is Lesnar, and they should build the event around Undertaker retiring, I think Cena would be the best opponent for him. I also hope Triple H does not have a match on the card.

[Honey_Badger]

As much as I love HHH, I don't want to see him wrestle a match at 33 unless it's on the mid-card against Owens or Balor.

[The Electrifying One]

HHH mid card? ��

[Honey_Badger]

He opened against Bryan at 30 and took a back seat to 3 matches against Sting at 31.

[Nash Diesel]

He shouldn't have main evented this year's, maybe 2nd to last or 4th match in but definitely not the main event. Especially when they didn't even do a big confetti ending for the babyface, instead just a gigantic fireworks show that would have worked just as well if Taker-Shane closed the show.

[kangus]

I was thinking about this the other day. As a casual fan, do you know what I want for next year's WM? I want a main event that makes me cancel my plans for Sunday because I can't miss this match. I'm talking about a Hogan/Warrior Rock/Austin level of match. Is that too much to ask once a year? I don't know. It's fine and dandy to watch a WM with lowered expectations only for the event to exceed itself as was the case a couple years ago. But I want a WM where by the time it happens I can't wait for the main event because it had a great build, it features two wrestlers who are over as fuck and the result of the match has major consequences. Hey, I don't have all the answers either. I don't know how you make possible but am I being unrealistic with my expectations here?

[Hero!]

Fine, Cena/Reigns it is

[Glen]

Kinda prefer Karl Anderson to that asshole.

Come again?

[S.H. Styles]

This Mania will be HUGE if everyone stays healthy. It'll be what 32 was supposed to be. We'll probably get the Shield triple threat, Cena/Taker, Brock in action versus a big time opponent, a good tag team match with the NXT call ups, possibly Bayley vs Sasha and Finn Balor vs someone like Chris Jericho. Not to mention that leaves HHH open for a match with someone he can build a match towards.

WM 33 will sell out quickly and be amazing IMO. When Seth comes back, he'll be a face instantly especially against Roman Reigns. The 3 shield guys in the main event will put on a show for the ages and it may very well go down as the best triple threat match of all time

[Kdestiny]

Really hoping for Brock/Nakamura

Logically it does feel like next year will be huge compared to this year's show. Not only due to injuries but they can focus in on the main event people want to see as opposed to forcing on us the main event they wished we wanted to see.

[PurePlayer]

Really hoping for Brock/Nakamura

I was thinking that or Brock vs Cesaro if they continue to push Cesaro strong. I am hoping this will be the year that Bray actually has a Mania win.

It's a year from now.....

[chatty]

Instead of fantasy booking the best card they can do we should fantasy book the worst. That way our hopes wont be so high we they inevitably cant/wont deliver such a good card.

HHH in the main event, a part timer past his prime facing Undertaker, Dean getting squashed and Roman closing the show as a baby face would be the worst card possible.

[Atty]

HHH in the main event, a part timer past his prime facing Undertaker, Dean getting squashed and Roman closing the show as a baby face would be the worst card possible.

They'd never put on a shitty show like that!

[PurePlayer]

Dean didn't get squashed though. I would also argue that Shane is in way better shape now than he ever was.

[Spedizzo]

Early Wrestlemania Card:

Roman Reigns vs. John Cena
Seth Rollins vs. Triple H
Brock Lesnar vs. Kevin Owens
Dean Ambrose asylum dildo show

[Andy]

With all the retuning talent, they could genuinely be on for one of the best shows ever in terms of match quality. Early hopeful prediction:

Rollins/Ambrose/Reigns
Undertaker/Cena
Owens/Zayn
Enzo and Cass/New Day
Charlotte/Sasha
Trips/Wyatt
Lesnar/Cesaro
Bullet Club/Balor Club
IC ladder match
Mens battle royal
Womens battle royal

[BBF]

Anyone got any idea when tickets go on sale?

[MikeHunt]

its usually November.

[BBF]

That's what I thought. Travel packages are a little earlier though I think?

There are so many dodgy sites out there offering tickets already.

[MikeHunt]

This would be the year i would 100% go with the official travel package tbh.

[BBF]

Why's that?

We're going for it definitely, just to make things as easy as possible more than anything else.

[Slutty McWhoreface]

I'll be happy if Trips and the Mcmahon's aren't on the card at all next year.

instead of using it as some snappy catchphrase, actually usher in this "New Era" by keeping those old attention whores off of the biggest WWE event of the year...

sans Taker; even though it's something I only wanted to see while the streak was still in tact-- there's no doubt a lot of intrigue in what would logically be Taker's last match.

but... in reality... it's almost a given that Trips, Shane, Steph, and Vince will take up a large majority of the event's time.

and it's probably also a given that it will be Roman Reigns vs. John Cena in the main event for the WWE title.

if that actually transpires with both men being 'faces"-- I anticipate one of the largest mass suicides in the history of America to take place that night.

[Rancid_Planet]

Oh it's going to be delicious.

[Slutty McWhoreface]

Top-Shelf stuff.

[MikeHunt]

Why's that?

We're going for it definitely, just to make things as easy as possible more than anything else.

The demand from Euro fans is at its highest ever for mania and Orlando is such an easily accessible destination that it would be a pain to do things without the package plus the hotels are going to be mega expensive over that week so I reckon you could get a bit of a deal.

When we went to mania 30 we did it all ourselves and it was simple as fuck and we got to pick out seats ect we also got a great airbnb deal. The raw the night after was the only thing we didn't directly buy tickets for and had to go secondary but it wasn't much more expensive.

I want to do summerslam next year if it stays in NY/NJ.

[MJH1986]

I know tournaments are not really a fresh idea at this point, but not much in pro wrestling is these days; at next year’s Wrestlemania I’d love to see one for the IC/or US Title (maybe unify the belts a few month earlier and somehow have them vacated before WM). I know it won’t happen but I’d love to see something like this happen;

Pre-Show

NXT Womens Championship Match

Nia Jax Vs Asuka

Wrestlemania XXXIII

Quarter Final: Intercontinental Championship Tournament Featuring;

Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze, Apollo Crews, The Miz, Baron Corbin, Austin Aries, Neville & Sheamus

Womens Championship Match

Bayley Vs Paige

Tag Team Championship Match

Enzo & Cass Vs Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows

Finn Balor Vs AJ Styles

Brock Lesnar Vs Shinsuke Nakamura

Kevin Owens Vs Undertaker

Andre The Giant Battle Royal featuring;

John Cena, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt, Rusev, Del Rio, The New Day, Vaudevillans, Cesaro etc.

Big Show Vs Shaq

WWE Championship Triple Threat Match

Roman Reigns Vs Dean Ambrose Vs Seth Rollins

The battle royal with big names would be pretty sweet. That might actually make people care about it. The only thing I disagree with is Paige being in the title picture. I think it's Charlotte, Sasha, Becky, and Bayley (if she gets called up) for the long term.

[Andy]

I want to do summerslam next year if it stays in NY/NJ.

I think they've signed up to do the three events there for the next three years or something?

[Beer-Belly]

Mania main event will be Roman vs. Cena. You'll get it and like it, pal!

[Fanny Batter]

What's everybody feeling now that the brand split is in full throttle? Since the last post they've already done two first time matches (Lesnar/Orton, Shield 3-way), debuted Balor, American Alpha and Bayley (among others), created 3 new titles and of course split the roster. It's been a bit of a mad one. Do we see more debuts? Returns? Even more titles?! Will there be interpromotional matches? Who wins the Rumble?

For me, the Raw title match has to be monster heel Brock Lesnar defending, and finally losing, to any of Balor, Rollins, Nakamura or babyface Owens. Smackdown title match should be Styles vs. Cena. It's got the history. Title vs. career. I'd hold off on the American Alpha title win from the Uso's to here. Triple H facing one of Owens, Balor or Rollins, and obviously putting them over. Heel Sasha defending against Bayley. Becky Lynch vs. either Nikki or preferably Asuka. Reigns vs. Joe for the US title. Enzo and Cass challenging for the tag titles against New Day. I guess Ambrose vs. Orton with Dean going heel over the Winter.

[Rancid_Planet]

I kind of hope they allow the winner of the Rumble to choose the title he wants to go for. Great way to shuffle a guy from one roster to the other using a simple storyline explanation.

[Honey_Badger]

Hard to book. Personal preference, not based on what I think would happen, leads me to the following:

Universal Title Match
Seth Rollins (c) versus Finn Balor versus Kevin Owens

Roman Reigns versus Brock Lesnar

John Cena versus The Undertaker

WWE World Title Match
A.J. Styles versus Samoa Joe

The Big Show versus Shaquille O' Neil

Smackdown Women's Title Match
Becky Lynch versus Askua

Raw Women's Title Match
Sasha Banks versus Bayley versus Charlotte


... Just a short, quick card of some of the main event matches I would like to see. I'm not sure this happens because Orton and Ambrose are left off of the card, but we shall see. There are a lot of potential options. It will be interesting to see how it all comes together.

[Sinner]

Give me the booking and I'd book:


Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Brock Lesnar (c) - Universal Title
AJ Styles (c) vs. Roman Reigns - WWE Title
Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor
Samoa Joe vs. John Cena
Bobby Roode vs. Chris Jericho
Kevin Owens vs. Dean Ambrose "Inter-Brand Warfare"
Rusev vs. Sami Zayn vs. Cesaro vs. Neville - US Title
Enzo & Cass (c) vs. New Day - Raw Tag Titles

and fill out the rest of the card with whatever.

I don't know if Roman wins the Rumble, or gets traded. Or Styles beats everyone and opens up his challenge to any member of any roster, which Shane approves. I don't know, I'm not the real booker. But that's my card.

[Jordo]

Big Show/Shaq is confirmed right?

Also it seems pretty likely we'll get Rollins/HHH

[McBain]

Cena vs Undertaker
AJ Styles vs Brock Lesnar (WWE Title)
Triple H vs Seth Rollins
Kevin Owens vs Finn Balor vs Shinsuke Nakamura (Universal Title)
Roman Reigns (heel) vs Dean Ambrose
Shaq vs Big Show
Jericho vs Zayn vs Cesaro vs Joe vs Ziggler vs Rusev vs Neville vs Miz (IC & US Titles 2-fall Ladder Match)

[Andy]

I think a big question is whether they do Taker/Cena here or not. I tend to think that ship has sailed now, unless they do a retirement angle maybe. With that in mind, I'd try and build towards this card.

Raw title: Rollins vs Lesnar (c)
SD title: Cena vs Styles (c)
Raw women's: Sasha (c) vs Charlotte vs Bayley
SD women's: Becky vs Nikki (c)
Raw tag: New Day (c) vs Revival
SD tag: Usos (c) vs AA
US title: Rusev (c) vs Cesaro vs Reigns
IC title: Miz (c) vs Ziggler vs Slater vs Kalisto vs Corbin vs Crews LADDER
Owens vs Zayn STREET FIGHT
Triple H vs Shane McMahon
Andre Battle Royal
Cruisers

That's leaving off Orton and Wyatt but I guess you could build the battle royal around them.

[ReDPath]

Going for a 5 hour show and some surprises.

Brock vs Goldberg
Cena vs Taker
Raw Title: Rollins vs Reigns
SD Title: Styles vs Angle
Raw Tag: New Day vs Broken Matt/Brother Nero in a TLC match outdoors
SD Tag: Usos vs Some new team
US Title: Rusev vs Jericho
IC Title: Miz vs Ziggler
HHH/Kevin Nash vs Punk/Shane
Steph vs Rhonda
Raw Womens: Charlotte vs Bayley
SD Womens: Becky vs Nikki vs Alicia
Shaq vs Show
Vin Diesal w/ Michelle Rodriguez vs Rock w/ Jordana Brewster special guest referee Tyrese Gibson

[RuneEdge]

Give me AJ Styles/Samoa Joe and Lesnar/Nakamura, and you can have my money right now. You can fill the other 3 hours with Flo Rida for all I care.

[The Law]

This really feels like time for the part-timers to do some jobs. If Taker is going to wrestle, have him lose to an up-and-comer. Cena gets beat. Triple H gets beat. If Rock wrestles, he gets beat. Brock gets beat. Out with the old, in with the new. Pick the guys who are going to carry the company into a new era and get behind them. The fact that the "stars" who are on every week aren't as good as the part-timers is a black cloud that hangs over the company. It's fine to bring in the typical Wrestlemania bandaids they've been using for years now, but it's time for them to start losing.

[MikeHunt]

Jericho vs Zayn vs Cesaro vs Joe vs Ziggler vs Rusev vs Neville vs Miz (IC & US Titles 2-fall Ladder Match)

I like this idea but how does a 2 fall ladder match work?

[DDT]

Two belts are hung separately, if you grab one you exit the match as that champion, match continues with remaining participants. I think.

[Kdestiny]

Two belts are hung separately, if you grab one you exit the match as that champion, match continues with remaining participants. I think.

I'd just grab both of them

[MikeHunt]

Two belts are hung separately, if you grab one you exit the match as that champion, match continues with remaining participants. I think.

I'd just grab both of them

Yeah I assume this would be an issue.

I would like both belts defended in the same match though.

I would imagine the big spotfest ladder match will go to the cruiserweight division though.

[Fanny Batter]

NXT-wise, I think it'd be absurd to have veterans like Joe and Roode down there any longer than January. They get it all. Their WWE characters are established. Go. I think Nakamura should too obviously but can see him wanting to learn the language a bit more because he's surely coming in to main event. Same would apply for Asuka who is more than ready. The Revival too. I'm hoping all those acts are up by the post-WM Raw, but a few should be up earlier. I think with the CWC guys flooding NXT, as well as Eric Young, Aries, Itami, Andrade and the guys they actually need to develop, they'll be alright. I can see them punting big for Okada as well.

I'd love Naki/Brock here, but I'm really feeling AJ/Brock as being the call here. Match could be bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Run the gimmick as him winning the Rumble and Paul saying that he's decided to take Shane's title away or something. Then just lay back and let the magic happen.

[MikeHunt]

I really want to see Brock vs nak at mania as well, its as a very simple way to bring Nak to the main roster and have him made in one night by conquering the beast.

[Atty]

His finish is also stupidly brilliant for beating Brock. Have him just keep kicking over and over until Brock stops stumbling up. Brock looks like a beast by constantly getting up and Nak looks like a king for killing him.

[Merchant4Ever]

I really don't like all these suggestions for Miz and the IC title to be in a ladder match.

Miz is gaining monster heat and really in the middle of a special run. The last thing you want to do is have him lose that title in a match where he isn't pinned. Someone needs to get the rub by pinning the douche heel.

Get your multi-man ladder jollies somewhere else, but let the Miz help make a star by losing clean.

[McBain]

I think a big question is whether they do Taker/Cena here or not. I tend to think that ship has sailed now, unless they do a retirement angle maybe. With that in mind, I'd try and build towards this card.

Raw title: Rollins vs Lesnar (c)
SD title: Cena vs Styles (c)
Raw women's: Sasha (c) vs Charlotte vs Bayley
SD women's: Becky vs Nikki (c)
Raw tag: New Day (c) vs Revival
SD tag: Usos (c) vs AA
US title: Rusev (c) vs Cesaro vs Reigns
IC title: Miz (c) vs Ziggler vs Slater vs Kalisto vs Corbin vs Crews LADDER
Owens vs Zayn STREET FIGHT
Triple H vs Shane McMahon
Andre Battle Royal
Cruisers

That's leaving off Orton and Wyatt but I guess you could build the battle royal around them.

I think the top two title matches are the likeliest if Cena/Taker doesn't happen yeah.

[McBain]

Yeah I assume this would be an issue.

I would like both belts defended in the same match though.

I would imagine the big spotfest ladder match will go to the cruiserweight division though.

You're probably right.

Two belts in one match could be cool though, with the belts swapping shows because of it. They could play up the storyline of one show losing it's belt beforehand and quite easily just have a different guy from each show win without it coming off as (too) contrived in such an open, crazy match like these are.

You are leaving Balor and Ambrose off as well. I am pretty sure Taker will wrestle as well. You have a lot missing, really.

There's probably not a better finisher on the roster for taking the beast down.

[Honey_Badger]

Styles/Nakamura - SD Title
Lesnar/Joe
Cena/Undertaker
Triple H/Rollins
Owens/Reigns/Balor - Raw Title
Rusev/Zayn - US Title
Miz/Wyatt - IC Title
CW Title Ladder Match
Ambrose/Orton
Lynch/Bella - SD Women's Title
Revival/American Alpha/Usos/Slater & Rhyno - SD Tag Titles
New Day/The Club/Enzo & Cass/Gargano & Ciampa - Raw Tag Titles
Charlotte/Bayley/Banks - Raw Women's Title

The only guys I am having trouble fitting on the card, who I feel should be, are Cesaro and Corbin.

[BGMaverick]

Styles/Nakamura - SD Title
Lesnar/Joe
Cena/Undertaker
Triple H/Rollins
Owens/Reigns/Balor - Raw Title
Rusev/Zayn - US Title
Miz/Wyatt - IC Title
CW Title Ladder Match
Ambrose/Orton
Lynch/Bella - SD Women's Title
Revival/American Alpha/Usos/Slater & Rhyno - SD Tag Titles
New Day/The Club/Enzo & Cass/Gargano & Ciampa - Raw Tag Titles
Charlotte/Bayley/Banks - Raw Women's Title

The only guys I am having trouble fitting on the card, who I feel should be, are Cesaro and Corbin.

You're right about what is missing. That's a really strong card in order to utilize talent. Feel bad for the rest of the women on the SD roster, which has more depth, IMO. The most interesting match you had was the IC title one. I'm not sure how you get there, based on the Miz and what he's doing and the payoff for him losing, but it has me intrigued.

[Sasori]

Miz/Wyatt - IC Title

The only guys I am having trouble fitting on the card, who I feel should be, are Cesaro and Corbin.

Have Cesaro go after Miz instead. I don't know what to do with Bray unless he's a face at this point.

[McBain]

Jobber tag team with Bo.

[Honey_Badger]

Revival v American Alpha v Usos v Wyatt's (Bray and Harper) would be excellent.

[Geo85]

My proposed (fantasy) card:

WWE Title
AJ Styles vs Finn Balor

Universal Title
Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn vs Neville

Street Fight
HHH vs Seth Rollins

Legends Match
Undertaker vs John Cena


Roman Reigns (heel) vs Dean Ambrose

McMahon vs Flair
Stephanie McMahon vs Charlotte

RAW Women's Title
Sasha Banks vs Bayley

Smackdown Women's Title
Becky Lynch vs Nicki Bella vs Naomi

IC Title Ladder Match
The Miz vs Ziggler vs Apollo Crews vs Baron Corbin vs Randy Orton vs Kane vs Bray Wyatt

US Title
Rusev vs Brock Lesnar



I don't want to see Goldberg or Shaq!!

[Geo85]

Pre show would be a multi man tag match and the Andre battle royale

[McBain]

Neville in a top title match. That really is fantasy booking.

[Honey_Badger]

Cena/Undertaker, any variation of Reigns/Lesnar or Lesnar/Joe, Rollins/HHH and Styles defending the belt would sell me on WM 33.

So basically, this card as your 5 main events...

Reigns/Lesnar
Styles/Joe - WWE Title
Rollins/Triple H
Cena/Undertaker
Owens/Zayn - Universal Title
