From the Observerquote:The win puts both in key WrestleMania matches. At press time, while not announced, one of the WrestleMania main events will be Edge challenging Roman Reigns for the Universal title. Edge winning was for the storyline that Edge retired as champion and now that he’s come back, is looking to regain the title as the culmination of his return. Right now there is no plan regarding who wins this match.

I'm surprised they debuted someone from NXT with an actual plan in mind for them.

Them having Bianca win and yet having no idea who she's challenging is so WWE it hurts.

It's just like how they keep giving the Money In the Bank case to people they have absolutely no plans for. I think it was the last time Sheamus had it that they regretted him winning the very next night.

RealFoxy posted:Asuka and Nakamura won the Rumble and they had no idea what to do with either. Sorry to "well actually" you but Nakamura literally called out AJ right after he won the Rumble. Charlotte was at ringside for the main event, went in the ring to confront Asuka afterwards, and then Ronda came out to steal the headlines. And then neither match actually main-evented Mania and they both lost so, you know, great rub for everybody.

You have to make a legitimate effort to book Nakamura and Styles at Wrestlemania and have it be aggressively average.

Beat Nakamura clean with the Styles Clash, a finisher theretofore reserved for beating, like, James Ellsworth

The Styles/Nakamura feud would’ve won the Gooker Award had WWE not gone to Saudi Arabia, I’m certain of it.

I was at that show and my initial reaction was being happy that Roman didn't win than immediately wondering why the hell they had Sheamus win it. In hindsight Roman or Orton should have won or literally anyone else in that match except Kane and that includes 2015 Ziggler, Kofi, and PAC.

I'm baffled at the fact, though, that they have Rey Mysterio and son on their regular roster and keep making them look like idiots, but this one-off celebrity match is going to be what brings Latino viewers to WWE.

I remember it feeling like they stopped at about the point where I was expecting them to kick into high gear and go another 8-12 minutes. It was like running Omega/Okada and just randomly ringing the bell at the 13 minute mark without telling either guy to go home.

Bad Bunny’s popularity in south america and amongst the youth is monumentally more so than Rey Mysterio. People know who Rey Mysterio is but that doesn’t mean they will watch, the same way everyone knows Hogan but only a small portion of those who recognize him watch wrestling. His wrestling clips are pulling like 30 million views on instagram it’s nuts. This was the rare case of WWE not being 10 years behind culture, but quite frankly I doubt they had anything to do with it, it was Bad Bunny’s homage to Booker T that started the whole thing in the first place. I am shocked they actually capitalized though.

Nakamura had finished his "good at wrestling" phase and is now treating the shows as house shows. Its just House Show Nakamura from now on. People just say it's particularly bad because they were not expecting House Show Nakamura at Mania.

I was in the DR for work the summer before last and all I really watched on TV was the music channel and this dude had at least 8-10 videos in the rotation, either his or a collab with someone else.

Meanwhile, they've got at least half a dozen world-class Latino wrestlers who are there week in and week out that they're doing nothing with.

When it's down right it can be a huge boost to the product - See Tyson/Austin and Mr.T at Mania 1 WWE will not be able to do it right
