As the jaded cynic I am over wwe I have a hard time being sold on Mania 31.
Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns has so many ways of going wrong, supposedly negotiations for Lesnars contract are going badly, Reigns really kind of isn't ready. it can kind of go either way, but the whole time the raging cynic in me is thinking they'll have Reigns win somehow despite it being I think his 4th time in a singles match at a pay per view.
You can't convince me one way or another that Sting Won't win against HHH. they're writing it like Sting's already in the guys head. Whether or not the match is good will depend on how well Sting has been training himself since joining wwe. Also to go on a tangent, why does HHH act like Sting is so completely rogue-ish. even in the storyline HHH is the CEO and it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that if anyone shows up in a wwe ring their under contract(unless this is just one of those unspoken, everyone is an employee of wwe unless they aren't rule or something)) Sting shows up in wwe rings, shows up with entrance music, foregone conclusion is HHH could just pulls some strings and yank Sting into his office and just pulled the COO lever and Sting is gone.
The Intercontinental Ladder match is the only match in the show I have zero idea how it will go. I'm sure it'll be either super awesome, or super disappointing, because this is the only thing wwe can do lately.
I share a lot of the same concerns everyone in the thread has about Bray vs Taker, Bray can really use the push, but on the other hand the likelihood that this is The Undertakers last match is nearly an unspoken guarantee at this point given how up there the man is getting agewise, and it's gonna be one of those moments where, to reference Bob Chipman, things will become very real for everyone involved.
couldn't care less for the diva's match, They'll probably screw up the Andre Memorial in some way or another down the line with however they push the winner. There's still a bit of bitterness in knowing theygave the win to Cesaro but then immediatly started shoveling him into the groun by pinning him with Paul Heyman who for some reason would not shut up about Brock even when standing in the ring with the guy who he was supposed to be managing.
The Rusev and Cena match is gonna be standard procedures for Cena matches, the Fastlane match pretty much telegraphed this by having Rusev, who has never ever in his entire tenure as a member of the wwe main roster, used a dirty move via punching Cena in the groin to soften him up for an accolade. It's gonna be the most frustrating way to end an undefeated streak in wwe and it's gonna happen at mania.
of course the results are painfully obvious it's gonna be the journey getting there anyhow.
