Live WWE WrestleMania Discussion Thread - Saturday April 1st & Sunday April 2nd 2023

I feel like they haven’t done the best job with building the charlotte/Rhea feud except for when Dom came out to have a war of words with charlotte which was just amazing. At the end of the day the match sells itself tbh. Charlotte is the queen of WWE. Arguably the best woman in the company. Rhea is the next big thing who needs to beat Charlotte and correct her loss from two years ago.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Hard to judge, Charlotte vs Rhea itself isn't crazy hot for me but Rhea as an act alone is so I weight that as a high bonus for the match. Rey/Dom as a feud def hotter (which still blows my mind bc I was so against this feud when Dom was still face and there were rumors they wanted to do it at Mania) and even the best angle so far in the Rhea/Charlotte feud was a Charlotte/Dom promo battle lol

cheers. And yeah I def was getting to that point next too, I know Rhea herself is white hot atm I just wasn't sure they even had segments vs each other because...well they havent been really pushed on social media at all so I didnt see em lol.

I still think they will crush it as I said above, I just dunno if right now (and yes I know I said id have no issue with the ladies main eventing, def not a gender issue) the story itself is worthy of a n1 MANIA main event. feels liek the build has been a bit lukewarm

 

[Comrade Khan]

Bot exactly sure how they do it but I def expect something like this on N2, I'm down for a couple small Bloodline backstage segments each night even for Mania

they could get kicked out/banished n1. make it so it looks like a red herring that bloodline wont help roman. then you do the double turn where the crowd is pissed that Jey still comes out to help Roman...but then refuses to or wtv version of the betrayal you want to run. would be some good emotions i think

Outside of the Dom/Charlotte bit, I think the best segments for the match have been Charlotte and Rhea's first solo promos on their own shows about it, bringing up the history. But since then it's just been more of an afterthought, no Charlotte on Raw and the Judgment Day stuff on Smackdown is more focused on Rey even if Rhea does show up for some small Charlotte build

I'd mark if they did a similar bit to Wardlow turning on MJF finally lol not with a ring obviously but something like that

 

[Sabretooth]

I thought for sure Rey was gonna beat Dom at Mania but now I’m thinking maybe Dom wins?

I’m curious what the future of the Judgment Day is after Mania cause this is the way I see the matches going:

Edge defeats Finn Balor
Rhea Ripley defeats Charlotte
Rey defeats Dom (although I’m torn)

I think Dom beats Rey at Mania and they set up hair vs mask in Puerto Rico for Backlash where Rey wins and we get the mullet shaved

But even if that's not the case I expect a rematch in Puerto Rico with them splitting wins

yeah this is the way tbh. Just have Jey come out with a chair, Roman asks for it, Jey smiles and pulls it away as soon as Roman goes to grab it and throws it on the ground or smth. Cross Rhodes. GG

They’re Mexican though. The hair vs mask thing is a Mexican thing isn’t it

 

[Chris]

Hair matches have always been huge in Puerto Rico that's why I assume Dom's losing bc of the hair thing, plus I don't wanna see Rey unmasked again even for a retirement anyway so I hope thats not the case

Maybe that’s how he ends his career. Unmasks and says goodbye. Although is he retiring lmao. He seems perfectly healthy tbh.

 

[Chris]

Yeah I'm really not sure myself, he's 48 and his knees have to be held together by a thread but like, dude still puts on damn good matches lol if he doesn't outright retire at or after Mania, I'm thinking he actually stays active even if they do the Backlash rematch

Rey in the g1 lfg (please dont take this seriously guys)

 

[Wiseman]

I don't see Rey unmasking, even if he is retiring. And honestly I think it would be a deservice for WWE to ask him to. However, I do see Dom winning at Mania. It's his kid, I'm pretty sure Rey would be willing to do the rub.

I don't even think WWE would ask, if it happens I'd assume it's how he wanted to go out and he pitched it
