how in the bubble do you have to be to think Ronda isn't a mainstream celebrity with exponentially more fame than anybody in WWE

Ronda doing the media rounds for Mania will be good for business and tapping out Stephanie

All accounts are Steph will be on the WWE Horsewomen's (face) side, which if that's the case there's no way she doesn't win

Becky/Bayley/Sasha/Charlotte will lose the 8-woman tag, Steph will defend their honor after Ronda refuses to leave, and win

the best five minute match ever between goldberg and lesnar, aj styles and shane mcmahon had a badass match, and the hardys came back

also bray wyatt used spooky magic and still lost, but that's par for the course with him

Here's some HHH at Wrestlemania fun facts!
He's 2-5 in the last seven years.
He's 4-6 in the last ten years.
He has the most losses in Wrestlemania history!

Yeah that's pretty awful and he should've put Sting over. That loss is made more egregious by the fact that he's decidedly in the "putting guys over at Mania" phase fo his career. :shrug:

But facts are facts, the dude loses more often than he wins at Mania and while I can't say for sure we're not gonna see him BS out a win against Kurt or whatever I think his days of winning at the event are pretty much over.

Give HHH the win so he could cut his smug authority promo later in the night and Rock and Rousey would come and beat his rear end.

I wouldn't say Trips will never win again but as long as he's a big shot heel going up against active roster faces he'll be losing at WM

I can definitely see him murdering Kurt at like, Survivor Series and then putting over Jordan at Mania or something like that.

Jason Jordan may not be the worst wrestler Triple H has ever faced at Mania, but he'd definitely stand out to me on his Mania list in the 'wait really?' way that A-Train does on Taker's.

I dunno, I feel like Jason Jordan is talented enough to really click and earn himself a spot at the top of the card, he just needs to find that right something to get people to take him seriously. Unfortunately, that right something probably begins with dropping this asinine Kurt Angle's Black Son gimmick and that's probably not happening.

Ronda will absolutely get them on talk shows and poo poo to hype Mania but she's not a great conversationalist and I'd bet 90% of what she gets asked ends up being about whether she'll fight again, at which point she'll shut down, because that's how she is.

Before the show started a bunch of fans started wrestling in the stands. Almost all of it was spurned on by a man pretending to be Stone Cold taking some guys replica belt and hopping over barricades to challenge strangers to fights and making a guy in a referee shirt follow him around to count pins. At one point the "ultimate warrior" gorilla pressed him over his head and dropped him like a sack of poo poo
