Bebe Rexha will perform America The Beautiful at Wrestlemania 37


Ain’t the best, but she at least is someone who is a very great to look at. She got a nice phat ass.

Rollins vs. Cesaro is going to slap.

I'm here for it.

 

[Showstopper]

Rollins/Cesaro the only match on either night that I care about. Looking forward to it.

Not interested in Asuka/Rhea or the Triple threat?

I actually think there's some decent matches this year.

Rhea/Asuka, I hope Rhea wins, but not very interested in it per se. The triple threat, nah. Before Bryan got added, the storyline was dying a slow, painful death which is why they added Bryan. I'm glad Bryan got added and he will help the quality of the match a TON, but the story or whatever they were going for was quite horrid for me. It's such a weak WM main event. I can see Royal Rumble or SummerSlam, but for WM main event, I expect much better and more star-power.

Damn and here I am thinking Reigns/Edge was some great shit and Bryan being added just upped it to one of my favorite things WWE has done in years

I'm just different I guess. This was a really bad build for WM storyline wise IMO. It just doesn't feel like WM. Last year felt more like a WM than this. Nothing feels like a big deal and there's no reason for what when it comes to the biggest show of the year. At least to me.

Nah I agree. Edge/Reigns holds zero interest for me. Bryan has been inching up the intrigue bit by bit with his performance but all in all, it's not there for me. Across the card I really can't point out a single match that has been built effectively in the manner I expect from WrestleMania. At this point I'm mainly only going to check out Mania to see how the set and the crowd looks, and just out of general interest in some of the wrestlers I really like. None of the matches or storylines are selling me on this show at all.

 

[Jimmy King]

I’m most excited for KO v Sami, Reigns v Edge v Bryan, Banks v Belair, and Cesaro v Rollins.

Both nights look solid overall imo.

That's fair.

I'm personally excited for it, although I definitely agree Bryan has added some nice flavour to the match. I personally have been enjoying Roman since his personal development, he's improved a lot.

Maybe the match will surprise you even though you're not fully in to it, I doubt it'll be bad with Edge and Bryan in there, too.

I agree. Edge/Reigns/Bryan just doesn't feel like a WM main event. The story is kinda convuluted, as well. Just don't buy it. I'll watch Rollins/Cesaro for sure. Not sure about the rest of the card. I'll definitly check out the results, but as far as watching the rest live? Probably not. Funnily enough, I might be on Peacock watching something other than WM while WM is running live.

That's awesome, man. I hope you enjoy it.

I find it funny I'm considering watching it live for the first time in two years, and you are not sure.

We've swapped places.

I definitely agree the build could have been a lot better, I feel like the crowd being back will carry a lot of the show. I miss the energy during matches.
