ngl, I wouldn't be mad at this at all. Do kind of expect them back sooner or later anyway depending on how they negotiated the Impact release.​

So John Cena vs Austin Theory was confirmed to be the opener for Night One.

WM39_MATCH_REY_DOM_FC_Date--9b56c25afac7d2864e8ffa40cdd0f714.jpg

Rey Mysterio vs. Dominik Mysterio​

After enduring months of disrespect, Rey Mysterio will finally step in the squared circle in a highly-personal showdown against his own son, Dominik, at The Showcase of the Immortals.

When Dominik first emerged on the WWE scene, he was everything that would make a father proud. Together he and Rey proved to be an amazing tandem and soon became the first father-son combination to capture the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. Despite their success, however, Dominik soon began to feel stifled under Rey's guidance and it wasn't long before the up-and-coming Superstar did the unspeakable by turning on his dad.

After ripping himself away from his father and aligning with "Mami" Rhea Ripley and The Judgment Day, Dominik did not hesitate to unleash a constant mix of beatdowns and humiliation on his legendary father. He accused him of being a "deadbeat dad," crashed family holiday dinners with Ripley on his arm, cost Rey numerous matchups and even interrupted Rey's response after being announced as the newest member of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2023.

Despite Dominik's actions, the legendary Superstar never failed to do what was right, vehemently refusing to fight back or lay his hands on his son. But he could be pushed no further and, with a heavy heart, he reluctantly agreed to the contest to teach his son a lesson.

So is it just me or has this WrestleMania been one of the best built of all time? I can't think of a Mania with a better overall build since like, WrestleMania X-Seven?

Can't speak for all time but it's definitely been built really well. Only real let downs has been the womens single matches.

All time probably not. But maybe, there really is no way to know for sure. It could feel that way just because of how great it was and things always feel like "all-time" when it's in the moment. Also, it could be because when the hell is the last time the build for WM overall has felt even close to how well it has been this year?

Cody/Roman and Rey/Dom have been excellent imo

Everything else has good with the exception of Bianca/Asuka and Brock/Omos
