PRESHOW MATCHES!!!!







WWE.com says...
The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal begins with all participants in the squared circle at the same time, and competitors are eliminated once they are thrown over the top rope and both feet touch the floor. The last man remaining is the victor.

So far, the following Superstars have announced their entry into the annual brawl:

Kane
Dolph Ziggler
Baron Corbin
Mojo Rawley
Tyler Breeze
Fandango
Tye Dillinger
Dash Wilder
Scott Dawson
​“Woken” Matt Hardy
Goldust
Heath Slater
Rhyno
Zack Ryder
Primo Colon
Shelton Benjamin
Chad Gable
Aiden English
Curt Hawkins

Stay tuned to WWE.com to find out which Raw and SmackDown LIVE Superstars will join this monumental match. Who earn their WrestleMania moment in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal?










WWE.com says...
As first announced on Raw, the groundbreaking battle royal will feature female Superstars from all three shows competing to be the last Superstar standing in the over-the-top-rope melee. This monumental contest at The Showcase of The Immortals is the latest in a series of next-level bouts that exemplify the Women’s Evolution, which has also featured the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble and Women’s Elimination Chamber Match.

So far, the following Superstars have announced their entry into the inaugural brawl:

Sasha Banks
Natalya
Lana
Ruby Riott
Sarah Logan
Liv Morgan
Becky Lynch
Naomi
Bayley
Mickie James
Mandy Rose
Sonya Deville
Carmella

Who will go on to make history and carve out their WrestleMania Moment by winning the inaugural match on The Grandest Stage of Them All?










This match is a result of a kickass tournament over the past few weeks since Enzo hosed off out of the company. Hoping for Ali, but this should be a fantastic match, and hopefully it gets the time it deserves.

WWE.com says...
Having proven themselves as the two of the best Cruiserweights in the world, Alexander and Ali will have their rematch, this time with the ultimate prize at stake on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Who will cement their place in history by capturing the WWE Cruiserweight Championship?



MAIN SHOW MATCHES!!!!







The Bar are good. BRAUNNNNNNN is good. C'mooon good partner!

WWE.com says...
The Monster Among Men has wreaked has havoc on everybody and everything from the moment he came to Monday Night Raw, but who will the one-man wrecking crew select to be his partner? With the glory of a potential WrestleMania moment hanging in the balance, will The Gift of Destruction be willing to work together with anyone? Will The Bar once again rise to the occasion?









It's a match. It'll be technical but boring. GO RUSEV!!!

WWE.com says...
SmackDown LIVE management split the difference and sanctioned a Triple Threat Match between champion, former titleholder, and potential usurper of both for The Showcase of the Immortals. This rivalry may have begun over a Top 10, but come April 8, there will only be one left standing.

Then, when Rusev replaced Sunil Singh in a SmackDown LIVE tag team match against Orton & Roode on The Road to WrestleMania and scored a surprise victory over The Viper, it was determined that The Bulgarian Brute will be added to the WrestleMania showdown, transforming the United States Title Match into a Fatal 4-Way.










New Day and Usos have battle many many times, but how will the presense of the fightening BLUDGEON BROTHERS impact the typical match we've seen so much of?

WWE.com says...
The New Day won the right to once again challenge The Usos for the titles at WWE Fastlane. As that rivalry began to regain steam, Harper & Rowan waited in the wings until they finally struck during the edge-of-your-seat title bout, decimating both teams and sending Xavier Woods to the hospital. The Bludgeon Brothers continued their onslaught the next week, defeating the only medically cleared members of The Usos and New Day -- Jimmy Uso and Big E -- and using brute strength to position themselves for a title match.

Given that The Usos and The New Day have a grudge to settle against the behemoths (and each other), it’s now a matter every team for themselves, and this one may not come down to who hits what move so much as who is physically left standing when the dust finally settles.










This gun b good!

WWE.com says...
Whether it be by way of his jaw-dropping display inside the Elimination Chamber or through his marathon-man performance in a grueling Gauntlet Match the week prior, Rollins has been on an absolute mission to reclaim the spotlight as “The Man.” Meanwhile, the always exciting Bálor stands as the first-ever Universal Champion, and given that he was never beaten for that title, The Extraordinary Man has been looking to reclaim a throne of his own for some time now.

Desire does not necessarily equal victory, though, especially at the biggest show of the year. No matter whether you like him or loathe him, there is no denying Miz's ability to come out on top in any scenario. On the night the Triple Threat Match was made, The A-Lister was a mere 55 days away from having the longest cumulative run as Intercontinental Champion of all time.

Who will exit The Grandest Stage of Them All with the Intercontinental Championship in their grasp?










HOLY poo poo DANIEL BRYAN IS WRESTLING!! :swoon:

AND HE'S WRESTLING SAMI ZAYN AND KEVIN OWENS!!

And I guess Shane McMahon is there too.

WWE.com says...
If Owens & Zayn defeats Bryan & McMahon, they will once again be SmackDown LIVE Superstars. If they don’t, however, they will remain fired. What will happen when Bryan returns to action at The Showcase of The Immortals? Will WrestleMania throw dirt on the grave of The “Yep!” Movement?









Have high hopes on this one. With miss MITB Carmella just around the corner who knows what crazy hijinx could occur?

WWE.com says...
Charlotte has been on a red-hot streak during her reign as SmackDown Women’s Champion, knocking off every opponent in her way, including Ruby Riott at WWE Fastlane despite repeated interference attempts from The Riott Squad.

To say that The Empress of Tomorrow is her most formidable challenger yet is an extreme understatement. The undefeated powerhouse has an incredible arsenal at her disposal, as well as a charismatic attitude that can give her a psychological advantage over any foe. One thing is becoming more and more clear every time she steps in the ring: Nobody is ready for Asuka – including Charlotte Flair.

Can Charlotte hand Asuka her very first defeat in WWE, or will the second-longest SmackDown Women’s Title reign come to an end at The Showcase of Immortals?










WWE.com says...
Bliss revealed her true colors on the March 12 edition of Raw when Bliss believed she was having a private conversation with Mickie about how she actually couldn’t stand Jax… only to find out that the cameras were rolling, and the mics were hot. Nia, witnessing this from the ring as it happened, became instantly enraged, chased after the panicked Alexa and then laid out Mickie the following week while Bliss still attempted to keep her distance.

What will happen when The Irresistible Force finally gets her hands on Bliss at WrestleMania? Will Alexa overcome incredible odds to prevail with the Raw Women’s Title yet again? Or will Jax show why Alexa wanted to keep her out of the title scene by triumphing over Little Miss Bliss?










Ronda showed up, pointed at Wrestlemania many times, and made some bad promos. Authority are still Authority. Oh and Kurt is wrestling too!

WWE.com says...
Will the pairing of Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle, two of the most decorated sports figures of all time, silence The Authority at WrestleMania? Or, will Stephanie McMahon & Triple H overcome Rousey & Angle’s impressive pedigrees with Pedigrees of their own on The Grandest Stage of Them All?









ROMAN
REIGNS
THE GUY WHO
IS GONNA WIN

WWE.com says...
Reigns — who beat Triple H at WrestleMania 32 to win the WWE World Heavyweight Title — now has a second opportunity to show that he can topple Brock and become champion on WWE’s biggest stage.

Lesnar — who hasn’t suffered a loss since 2016 — has another opportunity to put Reigns down with the world watching and prove that WWE is, in fact, his yard.

Which of these two warriors will walk out of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans as Universal Champion?










This match is gonna loving rule :neckbeard:

WWE.com says...
The storied history, unmatched talent and explosive nature of both The Phenomenal One and The King of Strong Style guarantees a tremendous contest, combining skill, faced-paced intensity and a mutual desire to win at any costs.

Who will emerge from The Showcase of the Immortals with the WWE’s most prestigious title around their waist? What will the two Superstars do in the coming weeks on SmackDown LIVE to gain important momentum?










Cena has been calling Undertaker out, who has been ignoring him. Will the ignoring continue? FIND OUT @ THE WRESTLING MANIA.



Yeah, this is a day early but it's :kingsley: WRESTLE-loving-MANIA :kingsley:

Get hype.

Really worried about this one. So much good is going to be squandered most likely and I’m deathly afraid that they are only allowing Daniel to wrestle for one match to hype this mania and are jerking him around.

Hopefully I’m wrong

I'm hosting TURKEYMANIA 3 tomorrow.

I cook a turkey and we watch Wrestlemania.

I have a 21 pound bird and 15 pounds of potatoes to peel. I love having folks new to wrestling come over. The video packages really help bring the story to the forefront even if you are not a fan.

I'm hoping I don't poison everyone and that DB does not die on live PPV.

The whole event started because I had to get rid of a turkey taking up space in my freezer.

It's more of a chance for other wrassle parents to watch the show and bring their children. I'm old and broken so I don't party like I used to

It's always a mix of closeted wrestling fans, old diehards and parents looking to get out of the house on a Sunday for free. I try to get everyone involved in the show, we take a tally of who we think is going to win the matches and stuff. It may be loving super lame but it's a fun time with my friends and family.

Fam let's be real

if we get one single match out of Wrestlemania that would, if transposed to Takeover, not be the worst on the card, Wrestlemania is going to be a success

If three matches can say that it'll be one of the best Manias ever and still not in Takeover's league just because there will inevitably be valleys of good-ness in Wrestlemania because of the sheer length

I think there's a chance
