General WrestleMania Discussion Thread - Saturday April 6th & Sunday April 7th 2024

[Hoss]

It's almost split up like Night 1 is the Raw night and Night 2 is Smackdown's. Not exactly, of course, but close.

 

[Hoss]

Also entirely possibly they wanted to stack the night with The Rock wrestling on it, thinking it will probably be the more viewed night.

Got tbh minus cody storyline this mania line up is meh. It doesn't mean it can't deliver but there's no matches besides cody one I'm really that invested in maybe Usos but that's still under cody stuff.

Meltzer said he got this match order weeks ago, only difference was Pretty Deadly was in the tag match instead of Theory and Waller. Seems like this would be fine if they go with it

According to Fightful Select, the company has reached out to NFL superstar Jason Kelce, who played for over a decade with the Philadelphia Eagles and just retired this off-season. Kelce is a major name from the NFL, and an even bigger star in the city of Philadelphia. This year’s WrestleMania 40 takes place from Lincoln Financial Field, which is where the Eagles have played ever since they moved on from Veterans Stadium.

WWE already teases appearances from rappers Lil Wayne and Meek Mill, with a separate report from PW Insider claiming that actress Drew Barrymore would be in attendance for mania as well.​

 

[Apoho Creed]

Kelce is Philly so it makes sense. Being a lifelong Eagles fan I would mark out if Kelce were to Slam or Closeline someone.

 

[Butters]

And iyo retains and then his brother shows up with Taylor Swift and she challenges Iyo like the fans always wanted.

Legit I watched Creed 2 the other day and both Creed films with the Rocky films get me to come to tears or gives me chills and Fighting Stronger when Adonis is Training in the Desert to face Drago's Son for sure gives me Goosebumps. Man I'm really hoping Stallone shows up with Cody and does something Rocky inspired.

Night 1 has too many fustercluck multi-people matches.

 

[Jacob Fox]

I suppose if they really want to honor Dusty Rhodes, Cody could have a Dusty finish. The internet would explode
