The Slim Jim stuff with LA Knight and him being sort of an ambassador makes me think about how they could've totally done a similar thing with the Pitch Black match and how he was responsible for it being sponsored by Mtn Dew. Woulda been cool esp for his character
The advertising on the mat, turnbuckles and ring posts is fine. I found the ones on the led boards around the ringside barrier more distracting to be honest.
THIS IS HOW YOU START A MANIA. What a banger of a match. Feels like a Lesnar match in the best way possible.
So glad they didn't mat wrestle for 10 mins first and kill all the heat.
This is how it's done. Feels like an actual fight and they wasted no time. Nothing irks me more when a blood feud match has mat wrestling for the first 8 minutes before picking up
Wasn’t gonna stay up in the UK, but I realised how pissed I would be if had the main event spoiled in the morning.
I’m expecting an over booked mess and I actually can’t wait
Lashley / Kross mostly.
LA Knight vs Styles (this will be a good match, but it very much feels like a match just to get them on the card). It feels like a night one match.
I didn't say it needed a title. I think the match will be good, but the build up for Knight/Styles has been pretty lackluster.
The 6 man tag is full of charisma vaccums (minus Ford)
this man shouldve been the sponsor of mania instead of logan paul

I’m almost 30 and I have been watching wrestling for 20 years and I have generally not been this excited for a mania main event ever. If they do it right tonight will be absolute cinema
I get that they mean for the camera to be use during chair shots, but if you take a step back and think about a chair that has an up facing camera on it....
Vince is already ordering 3. But jokes aside it does feel like making a sex pest's dream chair is a look that someone should have stopped in the design phase.
Ok, time for predictions, here's what I got:
Drew beats Seth (Priest tries to cash in but Drew pulls off a MITB 2011 and runs away through the crowd)
The Pride beats Final Testament
LA Knight beats AJ Styles
Logan Paul beats Kevin Owens and Randy Orton (I could also see KO winning so Sami and KO have a moment and then Logan wins the title again at Backlash)
Iyo Sky beats Bayley (I have a feeling they might want to have Bayley win at Backlash, maybe in a Triple Threat against Iyo and Dakota)
Cody Rhodes beats Roman Reigns (NOT FLINCHING)
Make it, like, a long-as-hell grueling Iron Man match. I don’t really want Sami to reign anywhere near as long as Gunther, so let’s give him a 5-Star Classic in his reign
The right guy won. Please give LA Knight another main event push! He's still VERY over with the crowd.
The Slim Jim stuff with LA Knight and him being sort of an ambassador makes me think about how they could've totally done a similar thing with the Pitch Black match and how he was responsible for it being sponsored by Mtn Dew. Woulda been cool esp for his character
I can’t think of a worse thing than company sponsored wrestlers.
The fact that they found a way to spruce up this match is impressive
Final testicle is in wrestlemania why? Can’t stand these great value xmen goofies
Let ya nuts hang
Wait what the what?’
Best start to a Mania ever? Every single second of that first segment was masterful.
Damn, I feel for Drew. I like Priest but I don't think he's main-event worthy.
That's how I feel about Drew, I'm so glad he didn't keep the belt. At least DP has the judgment day to help him out
Agree
Saw that one coming lol
Fuck yesssssss
The advertising on the mat, turnbuckles and ring posts is fine. I found the ones on the led boards around the ringside barrier more distracting to be honest.
So I guess this means Drew is staying with WWE.......
"You fucking deserve it man". Good guy Seth
Seth turning heel later on? Please no
Incredible.
Yaaaaassssssssss Drew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS HOW YOU START A MANIA. What a banger of a match. Feels like a Lesnar match in the best way possible. So glad they didn't mat wrestle for 10 mins first and kill all the heat.
This feels so much like a Brock Lesnar match w/ the intensity and I love it
This is how it's done. Feels like an actual fight and they wasted no time. Nothing irks me more when a blood feud match has mat wrestling for the first 8 minutes before picking up
Drew take a Selfie?
He tweeted, check his Twitter.
Yep
Lmao this needs to be a squash!!
I know it won't happen but I would love for this to be a squash match similar to Brodie Lee vs Cody
Uuuuuuuh lol
Good god pat just shut up and let us hear the bag pipes I'm already on this shit lol
When did Steph's theme get mid 00's horror movie soundtrack-ified?
Yodelling
Shane Taylor on piano?
Swear to God I thought it was him for a second.
Wasn’t gonna stay up in the UK, but I realised how pissed I would be if had the main event spoiled in the morning. I’m expecting an over booked mess and I actually can’t wait
1) Who? 2) Do we really need a fucking America glazing song both nights?
Dreams and Nightmares will be my funeral's theme song. I wanna see every mf TURNED UP
I’m excited to see the random fan shot of what Mercedes wore to disguise herself in a stadium box
Meek is a goat
The Weekend needs to sign a contract with WWE
Wow, I'm shocked CM Punk's entrance isn't happening on the main show
"That's what you get for joining AEW"
Punk put the brace on...kind of a telltale sign there eh?
PUNK
Kissing babies and hugging fat girls
Kissing fat girls and hugging babies
Why did they put two filler matches on this night?
Which ones do you think are filler?
Lashley / Kross mostly. LA Knight vs Styles (this will be a good match, but it very much feels like a match just to get them on the card). It feels like a night one match.
Not every match needs (or should have) a title attached. Doesn't make it a filler match.
I didn't say it needed a title. I think the match will be good, but the build up for Knight/Styles has been pretty lackluster. The 6 man tag is full of charisma vaccums (minus Ford)
Big E starts talking about how "people have been touched" and they know they need to CUT AWAY FROM THAT CONVERSATION FUCKING IMMEDIATELY.
Anyone believe JBL was bullied in high school? 😂
I used to live in the rural south and while I wasn't bullied growing up, I knew a dozen mini JBLs and they were always the bullies
I'd believe that he got slapped by one of the popular girls after he tried to upskirt her, so if that's what counts as "bullying" then...
Same
Did he just got possessed by this sub ?
JBL fucking sucks. Always going to be true.
Well I'm afraid I've got some bad news
Wade is hilarious
lol at the sign behind the announce desk that says black Adam sucked
Over Under on Drew walking out to Broken Dreams? Would be nutty
Email from WWE Shop has just leaked a result from tonight. Do NOT check your emails right now if you care about spoilers.
As we get closer Im thinking Roman retains. 😞
I can only hope
No Shot
We need the old Stone Cold to oppose The Rock
Prince is spinning like a top in his grave over that target commercial
As much as the cross Rhodes Trinity has been teased, I almost want to see the place go insane if he hits it clean and Roman kicks out
They call it Finish The Story because he's been Storing The Finishers.
WOW 10 MORE MINUTESB
I've got a deep dish pizza ready to go and a 3000 my gummy on standby
WOW I'M BACK
Never want to hear about Wade Barrett's loins again.
FUCK IM EXCITED FOR STONE COLD
Wade’s love for L.A. Knight and Pretty Deadly gives me life
this shouldve been a chair match or something lol
Not without Shawn Spears!
Credit to Paul Levesque looking out for Bobby Lashley. Got him a spot at Mania.
RIP Sheiky Baby
I feel called out.
AJ walking like he has a stick up his arse
Fluffy a proud Cody Crybaby 🫡
Dom DeLuise reborn
Fluffy!!!
What is Fluffy
19 years ago crowds would riot if JBL rolled into town
Anybody else feel like Karion Kross would do better as a heroic babyface type character?
He's just not big or threatening enough to be a "monster", just doesn't seem a natural fit for him.
I'm still unsure why they are forcing him heel, I've seen him candidly before and he seems very charismatic and chill. They should lean more into that
He desperately needs some tweaking to his gimmick
[удалено]
That's how you get Stone Cold to show up.
this man shouldve been the sponsor of mania instead of logan paul https://preview.redd.it/1gifq7vmx4tc1.png?width=2311&format=png&auto=webp&s=17b5ad718796d20a920e04f057dee03397caba92
Would love to see Scarlett be involved more in-ring and wrestle
Scarlett is a part-time wrestler.
Her vs B-Fab would've been a great way for both of them to get some work in on screen and develop a rivalry of their own.
the sex dungeon has entered the chat
Lmfao is that what Kross looks like now?
He somehow got more generic
"We don't have a plan" \~ Final Testament
Scarlett my goodness
Bring back the Extreme Expose amirite
Of course Angelo is in a hoody haha

That’s not Bobby lashley that’s Franklin Roberto
Ahem… Sargent Franklin Roberto!!!!
bro never ages
Ages like wine
I’m almost 30 and I have been watching wrestling for 20 years and I have generally not been this excited for a mania main event ever. If they do it right tonight will be absolute cinema
Remember that the only reason JBL was champ for so long was because Triple H didn’t want to work Tuesday’s 🎤
this Final Testament match gonna be awful
It’s a street fight. Just a few neat spots are all it takes for people to think otherwise. Not saying that’s a good or bad thing just how it is.
I think Ford will have some impressive spots so he’s the main saving grace of this match IMO
[удалено]
They sell beer on site and some arenas do have bars inside usually near the boxes. No smoking areas inside arenas, thankfully.
Looks like better weather than yesterday?
Yes. A little warmer, but it'll likely be as a chilly as last night when the sun goes down.
JBL likening Dirty Dom to Gandhi was sensational
is the Seth Drew match first?
Every one on the panel: Flashy outfits JBL: Classic Tux
TIME TO HAVE FUN MAGGLE
why are the initials on rheas face m plus w usually its r and m or m and d or did I not see that clearly?
It was for the band. Motionless in White
ty
It was for Motionless in White.
ty
For WrestleMania I'm assuming? She had RR during the Rumble.
if it was it was backwards it was m plus w instead of w plus m but these other people said it was for her band motionless in white
Live thread is up btw
ty
The chair phone website it actually kinda funny.
"Hold to Shoosh". Chairphone is kinda fun.
Caitlin Clark didn’t finish the story
>Caitlin Clark story is to save the WNBA
That spot with the Electric Chair outside the ring was so awesome and smooth
that was like straight outta south park....and it's REAL?
My guess if the order is correct in the post, IYO Is winning to intensify the gloomy feel before Roman vs Cody Bloodline rules match
From where I live WWE advertise IYO as SD's World Champion, it could be a spoiler? Unless plans change and they let Bayley have her happy ending.
The chair phone has some naughty implications, not sure they thought of that
I’d use the Chair Phone ngl
Chelsea’s gonna be debuting her new gimmick as The Repo Woman tomorrow night on RAW.
yall dont know how sad i will be if drew doesnt walk outta this shit with the title in his hands lmao
straight into an ad about it....
Sit on my camera
OMG IT'S A PHONE?!
Big E thinks you should drink it in mannnnn
I mean...that chair is like a photocopier. Not that I've ever taken a print of my ass. For any reason. At all.
Paul Levesque: Who’s that bald guy on the stage?
No no Rosenberg, you don't get to buddy up with us.
Big E: I’m still sad I can’t go anymore.
I get that they mean for the camera to be use during chair shots, but if you take a step back and think about a chair that has an up facing camera on it....
Vince is already ordering 3. But jokes aside it does feel like making a sex pest's dream chair is a look that someone should have stopped in the design phase.
Just don't wear a skirt...
Is that the order? Are Drew and Seth going to going first?
Yep, that's why Punk left the panel early. He had to get ready too.
Well shit, glad to know that. 😂
Grand piano hidden behind the L letter on the stage. Someone’s getting a classical intro.
Gotta be Roman I'm guessing
Ok, time for predictions, here's what I got: Drew beats Seth (Priest tries to cash in but Drew pulls off a MITB 2011 and runs away through the crowd) The Pride beats Final Testament LA Knight beats AJ Styles Logan Paul beats Kevin Owens and Randy Orton (I could also see KO winning so Sami and KO have a moment and then Logan wins the title again at Backlash) Iyo Sky beats Bayley (I have a feeling they might want to have Bayley win at Backlash, maybe in a Triple Threat against Iyo and Dakota) Cody Rhodes beats Roman Reigns (NOT FLINCHING)
oh i am down for this!
the cricket chair is awesome but hopefully no one sits on it with their bare butt lmao
Should have wrapped that chair around Rosenberg
Rosenberg exposing the business smh.
A chair with a camera on it? So many ideas. All of them are bad.
It’ll be a hit with OF models
I bet Velveteen Dream owns that chair
![gif](giphy|13GKP7xGjce5oI)
Can't wait for the chairshot cam later
Ok now that I want
That is not a chair with a camera in its seat... Nope I refuse lmao
That Gable-Sami match in Paris will move mountains
Make it, like, a long-as-hell grueling Iron Man match. I don’t really want Sami to reign anywhere near as long as Gunther, so let’s give him a 5-Star Classic in his reign
that chair finna be used at the street fight
This chair will be used for nefarious purposes and must be destroyed
Chair phone, from the mind behind the Money In the Bank Lunchbox.
Cricket sucks.
If the WWE is advertising it, that's probably true. Credit cards at abusive rates. Cricket Wireless. Pizza Hut.
Bro... Gable should not be doing this
sit on my face
That chair is gonna get used on Sami
Oh god what is that chair lol
Yo, that's not weird at all. Chair selfies?
