Well, that was the worst possible outcome imaginable.

smh

Shocked Rhoode didnt eat the pin

RIP Rusev Day

rusev probably going through with that release request

Glad Randy Orton didn't win

im really enjoying these matches

You cannot hinder Jinder

rusev took the pin wow

Still think Rusev is in for a huge push.

:y::y::y:

So,

Braun's gonna get pinned by Cesaro.
AJ vs Nakamura is going to get interrupted by Bobby Lashley and thrown out.
Cena vs Taker is going to go 50 minutes and end when Taker dies of exhaustion.
Bludgeon Bros are going to squash New Day + Usos in 90 seconds
Ronda + Kurt vs. Steph + HHH is gonna main event and end with Steph tapping out Ronda.

As soon as Rusev was added to the match, I knew he was there to eat the pin :(

I'd give the edge to Rusev mainly because he's been better of the two on the mic and showing off charisma. Cesaro's biggest strength has been in wrestling skills but WWE doesn't really prioritize it for star status.

Wait wtf? No. That's not allowed.

Not a bad match yet

Unless you count the cruiser weights

Good point brought up that beating Rusev ups Jinjer's heel heat.

At least Mahal winning due to a distraction by a Singh brother followed by a Khallus is a new, original and exciting finish.

Vince wants to de push Jinder Mahal but every time he looks at that body he's like :drool:

Yeah but Cena came carrying his trusty shovel.

Another thought: Rusev losing and Asuka losing was Vince's revenge on the fans for the name change on the Fabulous Moolah Memorial Battle Royal.

Kill me.

Much earlier than I was expecting this match to happen....

Meh. I'm not that heavily invested in Rusev to be that pissed. He's been US champ before. WWE hates when anyone gets themselves over without prior approval from management so why would this case be any different?

Oh good. This means Charlotte can still be the first one to main event a Wrestlemania.

Kurt :love:

Nak vs AJ will go 3 minutes.

The match order is odd.

Motorcycles set up on the ramp right now

I am all for Harper and sheep mask go win the titles in 90 seconds.

A woman will never main event mania., FIGHT ME

WWE should get Bruce Buffer to introduce Ronda Rousey to the ring

Moment of truth time

So why continue to push that bullshit of get yourself over kid

Brock is definitely winning tonight

When Stephanie wins this one - she will be mainstream.

Extremely rude of WWE to put my two break matches back to back.

Someone say 3 minutes?

I don't disagree, if they're not going to make this the main event.

Wait .... they are doing the mixed tag match now?

Card order has been a bit odd so far. Starting to worry the latter half of this card is going to be terrible and a slog to get through.

Dangle the carrot.

Hopefully we get a shot of Uncle Dana in the crowd!

I'll go one further it shouldn't be Charlotte not as a face anyway

Wonder if Stephanie will attempt to slap that lump under rouseys left eye off...

Going back to the ol WM32 strategy of "tire/rage the crowd out before the main event so they don't have the energy to boo Roman's coronation"

I'm expecting Ronda to have more contact with HHH than with Stephanie.....

But don't you dare jump for it without our approval

Not while Vince is still there but Triple H and/or Steph have hinted at being a lot more open to the idea. Its a big reason why they pushed to get Ronda in the WWE.

If it happens while Vince is still there, its because he's busy with the XFL revival.

Wouldn't it have been good if when Kurt added himself to the match Ronda was just like "nah fuck off" and it was just a like one minute annihilation of Stephanie.

gotta be honest

this video package is getting me more hyped for this match than I was

Oh man! Stephanie looks incredibly hot at Mania.

Nice of Trips to bring out his harem.

Paige left early to go to a nearby bar to drink and maybe do a line

Stephanie McMahon is 41 years old. Way past her athletic prime.

Lame entrance

Vroom vroom!

I see in the time in between Triple H didn't bother to learn how to ride a 2-wheeler

Feel like Ronda has learned 2 moves ala LT/Bam Bam and will just do those and botch a couple of others. Would be shocked if she isn't green as grass. I hope I'm wrong.

Props to Steph for driving that bike....

When does she not? :eek:

Taker probably has the sudden urge backstage to nab one of those Triple H bikes for his entrance later tonight.

Yup. Not the only company that applies this technique. Pretty terrible.

Anyone remember steph v trish? Great match. Steph csn work

Steph isn't terrible in the ring, and she's clearly gotten in better shape since the Trish days....

I liked nwo and hells angels wcw better

Rousey is in there with 3 legit pros. If anyone can get a good match out of a green horn they can. Im not optimistic but she's set up to succeed

Nahh. pretty sure Taker has one of his own hand built ones.

Whoa! Angle looks kinda small.

It will never not bother me that Triple H, despite his horrendous W-L record at Mania, still has wins over Booker T and Sting because Vince wanted to be all "LOL FUCK WCW"

Seriously, kinda scared to watch.

feel kind of bad for her, as her first match is at mania. If she fucks up that's a big hole to crawl out of.

PYRO LIVES

KURT ANGLE'S PYRO PRETTY GOOD... THANK U...

oh is she looking for alberto

This is Kurt's first WrestleMania in 12 years right?

Angle looks decent. Was afraid he's wrestle in a t-shirt.

Triple H looks like someone took a bike pump to Tommaso Ciampa

Ronda is making me feel things. Man, she has an infectious smile.

Cool attire for kurt. Hopefully it doesn't explode like the survivor series one.

misssed HHH/steph entrance. was there pyro?

Welcome home Kurt.

Hoping Kurt has a good performance in him now that he's had time to get in shape and isn't injured like he was for Survivor Series.

Ronda needed a brief bagpipes interlude before her music.....

ronda goin full cosplay

Seriously that win over Booker T keeps me up at night every time I want to like what triple h does I think back to that and I hate them all over again

And sting shouldn't have been brought in at all it was pointless

@Cole

What about Dan Severn?

They missed a huge opportunity to get Bruce Buffer :nono:

Rousey lookin hot in the gear. No presence about her but she has the look

No. Just something similar to last year's Mania with the motorcycles except Steph had her own one.

Shoulda worked in the skirt

never competed at a Wrestlemania

Dan Severn actually did pro wrestling a couple years before UFC, I think. Not on a major stage, but like UWF or something.

wish she had bagpipes

WWE's Mania budget only allowed the choice of either pyro or Buffer, not both.

Man, the left glove on Angle's hand looks out of place.

I'm usually not a fan of Star Spangled a ttire but I like what angle has going there

Kurt's thigh wrapped probably means he's not fully healed up from whatever hobbled him at Survivor Series. We'll see.

good heat from steph

Thats some top shelf chicken shitting from stpeh

Ronda looks like how any of us would look if we got to do what she was doing tbh. No way I'd be able to hide a smile.
