[Shane]

still only 7 matches confirmed. They making us wait.

 

[Dale]

Well the IC is all but confirmed, you'd expect Naomi/Jade aswell providing this Evolution announcement isn't for shortly after WrestleMania.

Wrestle Ops

The (announced) matches currently planned for each night at 41.

Night 1: •

Seth Rollins v Roman Reigns v CM Punk (Main Event)

Night 2: •
Bianca Belair v IYO SKY v Rhea Ripley •
AJ Styles v Logan Paul •
Cody Rhodes v John Cena (Main Event)

(via @WrestleVotes Radio - Backstage Pass)​

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Says it all not having Jey v Gunther on as final match night one which says a lot about WHC belt in general or due to the fact of the amount of criticism Jey has got since the rumble win.

Nice for Punk to finally main event a mania though. Hopefully he faces Cena and wins the belt due to the favour being not what heyman thought.

[Dale]

Take it with a grain salt as they're hit and miss but this would suck massively if it gets pulled.​

 

[Shane]

Christ man. I’m sure KO will do whatever he can to work Mania and then take time off unless it’s not possible

 

[Dale]

Meltzer saying there's going to be 14 matches, so that's another 7 ontop of what's already announced.

IC Title is obviously going to be on there and Naomi/Jade too, not sure what the other 5 could be.

Forgot Priest/Drew isn't confirmed yet either, so that's 4.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Lyra IC match ?? What about the raw and Smackdown title matches? Jacob v Solo maybe? @Dale what about L.A Knight U.S match also ?

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Take another match off the list ones been added but don't wanna say due to the 24 hour rule and spoil it for others that haven't seen Smackdown yet.

Jade Cargill vs. Naomi​

ade Cargill and Naomi will settle their volatile rivalry on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Several months ago, then-WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Cargill was taken out of action in a mysterious parking lot attack. The assailant remained unknown until The Storm herself descended upon the Elimination Chamber minutes before the high-stakes Women's Match and launched a counter-attack on Naomi to take her out of contention.

Naomi returned to SmackDown and admitted that she had, in fact, taken out Cargill and lit the fuse of a series on back-and-forth attacks between them in the weeks the followed.

The bedlam got so back that SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis soon announced that th two Superstars would square off at The Showcase of the Immortals.

United States Champion LA Knight vs. Jacob Fatu​

The Megastar LA Knight faces his greatest test yet as he’ll defend the United States Championship against the monstrous Jacob Fatu.

Since defeating Shinsuke Nakamura on the March 7 episode of SmackDown to win back the United States Title, Knight patiently waited for someone to step up and challenge him at WrestleMania 41.

It took a titanic No. 1 Contender's Last Man Standing Match between Fatu and Braun Strowman to determine Knight’s opponent, and when the carnage stopped and the dust settled, Fatu became No. 1 Contender.

Will Knight successfully defend his title or will Fatu leave Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas as the new champion?​

 

[Cwalker]

Sucks that LA's 2nd run is going to be short lived but Jacob is too undeniable

 

[Dale]

I wouldn't be so sure, I think there's a Solo miscommunication looming.

 

[Cwalker]

I was thinking that's a possibility too.

That's the only way he loses imo.

Personally, I'd still pull the trigger on him
