WrestleMania 39 Hype Thread
![]() 7 matches announced so far. Are we hyped for them? Likely also to get Finn Balor vs Edge. Do you want to see The Demon return? Bray Wyatt vs. Bobby Lashley Rey Mysterio vs. “The Ex-Con” Dom Mysterio. IC Title, GUNTHER vs. Drew & Sheamus Triple Threat? Something with Ronda & Shayna for the Women’s Tag Titles? The Usos vs. Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens for the tag titles. What else do you want to see? What are the top acts yet to be booked that you’d expect to see? |

Kind of "deflated" about it honestly, due to Cody Rhodes and the whole "let down" of Sami Zayn's story and all The Bloodline drama.

Ronda is injured so I don't expect her on the card, which I'm fine with, she is boring AF imo
Guessing: HIAC - Edge v Finn Something Stupid - Bray v Lashley Rey v Dom Gunther v Sheamus v Drew Usos v KO/Sami Would like to see Street Profits and LA Knight have something on the show, but it doesn't sound like the battle royals are happening ...speaking of, we are overdue for some HOF announcements since we are 3 1/2 weeks away from WM |

Feel like they’d want to get Karrion Kross on the show, and Damien Priest probably should get on the card in some capacity. I’m just not sure how without doing a MITB match.
I’d like to see something for American Alpha as they’ve had a good feature spot over the last few months. Not sure Alpha vs. MMM is a Mania match though. Could do a slight twist to recognise the legendary run of The Colossal Connection and have the Andre The Giant (& Haku) Memorial Tag Team Battle Royal (AMTTBR). Put the following teams in; Maximum Make Models American Alpha Legado Del Fantasma Imperium Hit Row Good Brothers Los Lotharios Street Profits New Day (assuming Kofi is healed up) Viking Raiders Brawling Brutes Strowman & Ricochet Alexander & Benjamin Elias & Boogs The last spot could either go to DIY if Ciampa is ready, or an RKBro return if Orton is ready, or Ziggler in a “can they coexist” team with Ali. |

Oh LA Knight too. All those guys in that intercontinental division could do with something to do. Knight vs Kross?

Don’t really care. WWE has been better, but I just can’t bite right now. The thing that could tip me over is if Christian’s AEW deal has expired and they do Finn Balor & Damian Priest vs. Edge & Christian.

Dirtsheets are reporting this years final HOF induction will be a “referee the entire business loves”. First thought was Brian Hildebrand but I don’t think they usually do more than one posthumous entry. Robinson or Tim White?

The card is shaping up quite nicely. Still a few people missing from it, though.
I'm still not keen on the two-night thing, but whatever. Not sure who I want to win the main event. Obviously Rhodes winning would be a huge moment, but I'm a sucker for long title reigns, and Reigns has been amazing over the last two years. |

Agreed. Quite like the idea of Roman hitting 1000 days but what more can you do with The Bloodline at this point and who challenges him next? But also sold on Cody “finishing the story”. Could you afford to delay gratification for him and keep him hot?

Very excited for the IC 3 way. Should be a match of the year candidate.
Very excited for the men’s tag title match. Should be a match of the year candidate. Would be excited for Cody/Roman but knowing it’ll be the last match on Sunday that means I’ll almost certainly be asleep by the time it comes on. But I won’t penalize them for me being a big sleepy boy. Rollins/Paul should be fun. Theory/Cena should be fun. Wish I could get more excited about Edge/Balor but they’re both kinda boring right now. Can’t take short hair Edge seriously. Looks goofy. Wish I could care about the women’s title matches but their builds have been shit especially Bianca/Asuka I dunno. I’m kinda bored with the product recently other than the Bloodline stuff. But I was pretty bored with the product last year and Wrestlemania still delivered. So I guess we’ll see! |

I've still got little interest in watching the product week to week but the card itself looks like it'll be great for standalone viewing. I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
The Raw after Mania has felt like a big flop for the last several years now so I wouldn't bet on much there but that's still gonna be a Raw I check out of curiosity, |

I actually do kinda wanna see Lesnar vs Omos and not just for the train wreck potential.
Last time they set up a Lesnar WrestleMania match that was an obvious disaster waiting to happen was the Goldberg match and it ended up being fucking fantastic. Hope they just go nuts and make it video game-style carnage. |

Was actually watching RAW/Smackdown (or at least the highlights/non-wrestling segments) for a few weeks leading up to Rumble and then EC....
But haven't even watched any YouTube clips in a few weeks.... just still feeling like they "shot their wad" on the "big storyline" and now it is like "after that, why should I care?" |

Imagining the reaction when Sami turns full heel and helps Roman beat Cody and reveals it was a secret plan between him, Roman and Heyman all along and that the rest of the bloodline didn't even know about it.
Then Jey snaps and attacks Roman which writes him off until the build up for SS. |

Also, I gotta say, the match I am most "hyped about" right now may be Rey Mysterio vs Dominic

Didn’t he just go over Lesnar? Not featuring him in any way whatsoever on a 2 night WrestleMania is just ridiculous. Even if the best they can do is set up a last minute match the night before on Smackdown it’s still puzzling.

If he ends up being an honorary Cinnamoji for the big concert though, then I’ll retract my gripe.

I can only hope that Lesnar absolutely destroys Omos in seconds (thus putting an end to his horrendously boring push), and then declares that it's Wrestlemania, and he's here to fight. Cue: open challenge that Lashley answers.

Silly kayfabe observation: how convenient that Rey just happened to accept Dominic's challenge... I mean, what else would he have done come Wrestlemania? He's just going through the motions week by week and not questioning if he'd be a part of the show?

It's rumored Lesnar's contract is up in April so there is actually a decent chance Omos defeats Brock
