well i think most would say Sasha gets involved in the bliss/bayley match... but i know, it seems unlikely they leave them off, which is why i think its going to be some sort of dual brand thing ORRR one of the brands women dont get on tv.

 

• Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe (Universal championship)
• Jinder Mahal vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (WWE championship)
• Alexa Bliss vs. Bayley (Raw women’s championship)
• Naomi vs. Natalya (SmackDown women’s championship)
• AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens (United States championship, Shane McMahon guest referee)
• Rusev vs. Randy Orton
• Neville vs. Tozawa (Cruiserweight championship)

So we have 7 official matches

There will be matches for both tag belts and the IC belt (3 matches)
Finn vs Bray
A match involving Charlotte
A match involving Sasha
A match involving Cena

14 matches on the card for sure
Cruiserweight / IC belt / one of the women undercard matches on the preshow

11 on the main show with room for maybe one more

 

wrestlemania also had the recaps for the hall of fame and a pitbull concert

 

Yeah maybe we will get the Sasha turn after Bayley beats Bliss

 

that's fair.

 

I feel like I read that Charlotte was filming a movie soon

 

Drifter, Aiden, Kanellis vs. Zayn, Tye, Kalisto? So not necessarily raw vs sd, just a mash up.

i can see something similar for the women.. idk. thats enough spec talk.

 

Uh oh

 

None of these dudes deserve to be on the card for summerslam

 

I'm okay with that too ^

 

Alvarez called that shit

 

Why does everyone have to be on Summerslam? It fuckin dumb.

 

A 2-3 month absence is honestly what she needs most right now. Doesnt need to lose again to Alexa; they can run with Sasha as a face and to the heel turn at WM.

 

There was a Pitbull concert at Wrestlemania? I was there and I seriously do not remember this

 

Guess we get a triple threat women's match on SS now

 

Nia, Sasha and Bliss. that takes care of that problem

 

Because its the hottest party of the year bruh

 

GIMME THE GREEN LIGHT

 

I really wish i had been a wrestling fan as a kid. I didnt get into it until a year and a half ago and im really disappointed that i didnt get to experience it when the ruthless aggression era was still happening and also because everything is better and more enjoyable when youre a kid.

 

what got you into it recently? if you dont mind me asking.

I feel like there are a few wrestling fans in here who have caught on recently in their 20s and up

 

I was like 16 and a half when i first started watching (im 18 now). I was listening to a podcast and one of the guys on their asked what his friends were doing for wrestlemania 32 weekend. I just googled wrestlemania after that and watch the first video that came up, which was the pre show match between the usos and the dudley boyz. At first it was whatever, but i kept coming back to the video over and over, and before i knew it i was 2 hours deep into WWE top 10 videos and even a lil bit of whatculture lists sprinkled in there. I had friends when i was younger that were into it and i saw some commercials for ppvs sometimes. They honestly scared me as a kid, but im sure if i had started watching i wouldve realized how inaccurate those ads were displaying what watching wrestling is like.

I love it because its a great form of escapism. Im a pretty quiet and reserved person, so for me wrestling with all its lights and loud music and thunderous crowd reactions and chants is awesome and i fucking love the adrenaline and how in your face and loud and edgy it is.

 

Man I feel old

 

Correction for Summerslam

And that was the theme for a PPV that featured Brock/Taker, Seth/Cena, and a version of Shield/Wyatts

 

ah i didnt realize how old you were haha sorry. When you said "as a kid", i guess i thought you meant "6-17". You're starting to watch wrestling at the same age many have, but i guess you're talking about "kid, kid".

You missed out on wrestling figures!

 

Same. I started watching wrestling about 18 years ago...

Though I never bought any PPVs or went to live events, and the only PPV I ever saw was Summerslam 2000 (we went to a TGIFridays or similar sports bar to watch). Compared to the last year where I've been to 3 live events and watched every PPV. Id kill to be like 14 and have the WWE access that exists now
