And who’s that going to be? Cody… and? The lack of star power in the company is startling. There’s hope on the horizon with Jacob Fatu, Bron Breakker, Dominic Mysterio etc but they’re not there yet.Originally Posted by Gray Fox

Steiner maths
Bron
He’s got star written all over him.
Dirty Dom is winning that right?
That's who I've got.
Stand & Deliver Predictions
NXT Championship Triple Threat Match: Oba Femi vs. Trick Williams vs. Je’Von Evans
I think we get heel Trick Willy with him revealed as the Darkstate leader which I think is a bit shit as Darkstate look pretty crap.
NXT Women’s Championship Fatal 4-Way: Stephanie Vaquer vs. Giulia vs. Jordynne Grace vs. Jaida Parker
It's a straight shootout between Steph and Giulia for me and whilst it may be a little too early for Vaquer to lose her title I think they did Giulia right with her return so I think they'll put the title back on her to set up a singles match down the line.
NXT North American Championship: Ricky Saints vs. Ethan Page
Way too early for Ricky to lose his title.
NXT Women’s North American Championship Ladder Match (Zaria, Kelani Jordan, Sol Ruca, Izzi Dame, Lola Vice, and Thea Hail)
I really want Sol Ruca (her finisher is so cool) or Thea Hail to win but I think Lola Vice takes it
NXT Tag Team Championship: Fraxiom vs. Hank Walker & Tank Ledger
This is the toughest match on the card to call for me. Fraxiom are amazing and probably should be on the main roster. They seem to be overlooking Hank and Tank (but they've done that to a lot of tag teams) and Hank and Tank also have had a story and a PATH lately which I think has been a build to setting them up to win the titles.
Six-Man Tag Team Match: The D’Angelo Family vs. DarkState
Yawn. This shouldn't be an issue. Only interesting thing would be "Stacks" turning on Tony and breaking up the family.
Mania predictions to follow.
WWE WrestleMania 41 Night 1 match card
CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins
Can't see Rollins winning and I think Punk with some Heyman makes the most sense.
World Heavyweight Championship -- Gunther (c) vs. Jey Uso
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's going to happen and I still fucking can't believe it.
WWE Women's Championship -- Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Charlotte Flair
I thought this was going to be a slam dunk but I'm a little less sure now. I still think they have Charlotte take it though just because it's fucking Charlotte.
United States Championship -- LA Knight (c) vs. Jacob Fatu
LA Knight has been a bit crap as the champ and Fatu deserves a championship.
World Tag Team Championship -- War Raiders (c) vs. New Day
Heel Day need it.
Jade Cargill vs. Naomi
Piss break.
Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano
Awesome to see El Grande get a Mania match but it's a travesty that Gable can't get one.
WWE WrestleMania 41 Night 2 match card
Undisputed WWE Championship -- Cody Rhodes (c) vs. John Cena
Give him the record and the heel turn cemented it.
Women's World Championship -- Iyo Sky (c) vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair
I'd rather have Iyo retain but I can't see it.
Intercontinental Championship -- Bron Breakker (c) vs. Finn Balor vs. Penta vs. Dominik Mysterio
Leads to the Judgement Day breaking down. Only other I can see winning is Penta but it makes a lot less sense than Dirty Dom.
Women's Tag Team Championship -- Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez vs. Bayley & Lyra Valkyria
Yeah whatever.
AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul
I'd rather have had AJ v Karrion but this match should still be good. I assume Karrion gets involved somehow.
Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest (Sin City Street Fight)
Get Drew back in the title scene please.
Randy Orton's open challenge
I've heard rumours it could be a Rusev day but surely Randy wins whoever it is.

It looks like Rey got injured last night. Do the right thing and move the TLC match to tonight
Night 1:
Gunnther v Yeet. - I have this as opening the show because Yeet man is winning. If it goes on later I would be tempted to change that result, but they had him promise that he was winning so I think this gives us our "hot start"
War Raiders v New Day - With this being Mania, I could see Big E costing the New Day lads here, but as I dont think he is/ever will be cleared, there would never be a pay off down the line.
Jade v Naomi - The Jade attack angle became pointless the second they made it not be Bianca. Jade needs to win and look good doing it here.
El Grande Americano v ??? - No idea what they do here if Rey can't go. Rey was surely winning too. You could still get E.G.A involved in the show by telling him he's now facing Chad Gable and see how that plays out.
LA Knight v Jacob Fatu - I LOVE YOU SOLO. Knight has outstayed his welcome towards the top of the card. Not a great worker and Fatu should go over very cleanly here. No Temu Bloodline please.
Stiffy Time v Charlottewinslol - This is me having faith in doing the right thing. Charlotte gains nothing by winning. Tiffy gains some good legitimacy as they insist that Charlotte is their top woman. Since the the famous promo, it seems to me both seem to be working together a bit better than being catty about it. There's also a lot of title changes potentially happening, so we need some retains. Everyone holding from Mania to Mania becomes boring quickly.
Roman v Rollins v Punk - By the same logic I wonder who has the most to gain from winning here. That's likely Punk. He can use it to springboard into the title picture after. I'd love there to be some good Heyman shenanigans involved here. Perhaps even turning more than once during the match. This is going on for a good hour so why not?
I reckon we see a moment where Heyman throws a weapon and it falls in the middle of Reigns and Punk. We then get the whole "who did he mean to throw it to?"
Night 2:
Liv Morgan and friend v Bayley/Lyra - I imagine this sets up a Lyra and Bayley feud moving forwards.
AJ Styles v Logan Paul - Does anyone really care here? Sad part is this could genuinely be his last Mania.
Ripley v Bianca v Iyo - The build for this has been bad. I dont really care for this either. Though Iyo should be winning this.
Bron v Penta v Dom v Balor - Dom needs this win. I also reckon he wins by pinning Balor after he takes a spear/whatever Pentas finisher is. Bron then goes on to bigger and better things.
Drew v Preist - Again who really cares for this? We all know Drew should be doing better things.
Randy v ??? - Now this could be a way to get Chad Gable on the show. I think it's too soon for the return of Rusev or Black. Needs to be a one off type match. Randy wins and then shakes the hand of whoever he faces, before then hitting the RKO and walking off.
Cody v Cena - I hope this doesnt go on longer than it needs to but I think it will. I cant see it being as sport entertainmenty as last year. Who knows if Dwayne can take a day out of his busy schedule to show up.
This is the biggest heel turn in the last 20 years or so, so Cena has to win this.
Gunther vs. Jey Uso - as it's opening the show they'll start energetic to get people excited, he'll also be first out on the Raw as well
War Raiders vs New Day - they've been treading water a bit which I'd like to think is stalling for Big E being cleared but probably just rubbish booking
Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano - Rey if he's actually there, otherwise no idea. Ideally it finishes with Grande Americano being unmasked to reveal it's actually Shane McMahon
Jade Cargill vs. Naomi - if this was on after the triple threat I'd have had Bianca revealing she was in on it as well
LA Knight vs. Jacob Fatu - surely
Tiffany Stratton vs. Charlotte Flair
Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins - Punk to climb and retrieve Heyman from the pole
Iyo Sky vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley - Oddest build for this, should be that Iyo smashes fuck out of them both in 90 seconds
Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez vs. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria
AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul
Bron Breakker vs. Penta vs. Finn Bálor vs. Dominik Mysterio - Dom beats Balor to carry on whatever they're doing, Bron moves up
Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre - Priest is alright outside of this but they could have added Drew to the night one main event and not even had to explain it too much
Randy Orton vs. TBA - If it's Solo Sikoa listen out for the sound of the life leaving a giant stadium.
Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena - Could see this being like the fun nonsense last year except Austin finally turns up to get the Rock this time
Just stick Dom in a Rey mask and see if the marks realise.
It definitely wont be Black taking on Randy Orton.
His latest promo said he's coming on the Smackdown after Mania.
Could possibly be Aldis but meh, Solo Sikoa fuck no, Omos was pissing about in Japan won some tag titles and relinquished as he said he's coming back to the WWE lol.
Other than that maybe someone from NXT gets called up that way or maybe someone from TNA? Say his name?
Also, what the fuck is going on with Roxanne Perez?
I thought they were going to do her v Bayley at Mania for a while as they were building up to that match and then they dropped the feud completely.
Now she's on the Stand & Deliver pre-show with Cora Jade in a fatal fourway number 1 contenders tag match.
NXT Stand & Deliver at 6pm tonight (just under 20 minutes) on Netflix.
That match was brilliant.
Yeah that was pretty good.
Evans is the best athlete I think I’ve ever seen in wrestling. He’s a freak
Just found out he’s 20. Fucking hell
Hulk Hogan: "I moved in next door to him (Vince McMahon) in Connecticut and taught him all about lifting weights and riding motorcycles and partying like a madman. And then I taught him about the wrestling business and making money.”
WWE have taken over AAA. NJPW next
Rey Mysterio can't go, but Rey Fenix is taking his place. El Grande Americano taking the L either way.
The equivalent would be NOAH.
The Rock wasn’t referencing NOAH on his Instagram randomly
Much better match up but they’ll probably be given 5 mins as we will need enough time for video packages and entrances.
lol what
Survivor Series?
Christ, he is so so so bad. One of the worst champions you’ll ever see.
Gunther tapped after 2 seconds lmao
He's so over nobody gives a fuck bout you sweaty melons YEET
I can't believe they had that shitshow tap Gunther out.
Looks like we're getting Kittle interfering rather than Big E then.
This just feels like a Saudi event or something. Can barely hear the crowd but they hardly look animated. Wasn’t even like the stadium was going mental ‘yeeting’ either. Every single match tonight until the last two would be lucky to get time on Raw or Smackdown. Even then, the triple threat is will probably be dreadful unless there’s weapons etc involved
How the fuck are these gimps on the show but the TLC match for the other tag titles isn’t after a good solid 2/3 month build lmao
Someone has played too much myGM on 2k25 booking this shit.
What the fuck is this so far?
Its great so far
It’s so bad. HHH has completely ruined the company in the past few months. They couldn’t have had an easier build to make this ‘mania incredible and it’s just been miserable
Comes to something when Cargill is looking the best of anyone so far tonight.
Crowd is either very dead or they've done the sound shit.
If they make Jacob Fatu look shit now then you might as well call the rest of the event off.
Definitely a bit of both.
I see they’ve written Bayley out of the match tomorrow (presumably for Becky lynch to return). Remember the build up for Roxanne and Bayley? Was looking good and then it was just dropped for no reason. Roxanne went from 2nd in RR, competing at the Chamber to now being back in NXT full time. Was on the pre show earlier and now looks to be setting up a feud for the title again
In before a Brawn appearance after the bloodline make an appearance. Like the last 2 months on Smackdown
I think it's a mixture of both.
Fatu
Fucking push him to the moon.
Business has just picked up
Great to see a young and upcoming star like El Grande Americano being booked strong.
Only 2 matches left after just over 2 hours and at least 30 mins has been filler or entrances. But obviously couldn’t have that TLC match here whatsoever
Time for them to make up the attendance though. Not even close lads.
Got to put aside an hour for the triple threat and another 30 mins for entrances
Not even giving her the champs entrance. Christ.
How have they let Charlotte come out second?
Another torn ACL pls
I mean, it’s only 60k and looks completely full.
is this tiffany on a lot then
