Here is how I would rank the match-ups, including pre-show.

1. Ambrose vs. Lesnar in No Holds Barred Street Fight
2. Shane vs. Taker in a Hell in a Cell match
3. HHH vs. Reigns for WWE Championship
4. 7-man Ladder match for Intercontinental Championship
5. Andre the Giant Battle Royal
6. New Day vs. League of Nations
7. Triple Threat Divas Championship
8. Kalisto vs. Ryback for US Championship (preshow)
9. AJ Styles vs. Jericho
10. Usos vs. Dudley Boyz (preshow)
11. Total Divas vs. BAD & Blondes (preshow)

I think Kalisto/Ryback will be determined on how much time they have. I can also see Shane and Taker stealing the show too.

AJ's the most talented in ring performer on the card and this is Jericho's last chance for a classic match on this type of stage. I wouldn't be shocked if that's the match of the night and I expect it to be one of the top 2 or 3 matches on the show

The pre-show matchups is pretty good for pre-show.

Kalisto vs Ryback for US Title

The Total Divas (Brie Bella, Paige, Natalya, Alicia Fox and Eva Marie) vs B.A.D. & Blonde (Lana, Summer Rae, Naomi, Emma and Tamina)

The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) vs. The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley)

Is it really considered a pre show? they are advertising that wrestlemania officially starts at 6 central. thats usually when the pre show starts.

It would be nice if they gave AJ some pyro, it seems like he is expecting it with his entrance.

He has pyro, it's right when he first comes out.

Soooooooooo I didn't see it but everyone is raving about NXT show last night. If Vince moves over it does seem Triple H is capable of calling the shots, as NXT has been the most praised WWE product over the last year.

I don't quite get the concern over steroids with WWE. It's not a real sport. If it helps these guys heal and whatever they are using is legal, so be it. If it's not legal...I am not going to publicly post that I support it...but if I hear Randy Orton tested positive for Roids...my first reaction is "who cares?"

As for us normal folks, whatever helps you get better. Best wishes with your health.

That was more or less how it was viewed before the Benoit story. They apparently found a shit load of "medically prescribed" steroids at his house after the incident. That changed everything

It is highly stupid to me to blame it on roids. Roids I'm sure helped but there are hundreds of thousands of people using and don't commit crimes or show violence. Benoit was tragic but IMO the outlier not the rule.

Producing a show that is only accessible through the internet is different than producing a live TV show.

We won't find out how good Triple H will be with the book until Vince moves aside.

[jeffro151]

Nobody wants to see miz as a champ. Fuck this.

 

[StanMarsh51]

Nobody wants to see miz as a champ. Fuck this.

Probably a transitional champ so they could put the title on someone like Styles.

 

[futballiscool]

Cesaro as the mystery man?

 

[SDGuy73]

The crowd is fucking annoying.

 

[OregonDucks]

So is Vince face again? WTF WWE

 

[OregonDucks]

Shane's opening promo was legit. True emotions from him, pretty good.

 

[futballiscool]

Damn.. What a swerve...

Styles jobs at Mania then earns a title shot the next night. I'll take it
