For those keeping track at home, the FastLane main event that was advertised in December as being a fiveway had literally one change (Nakamura replaced with Dolph) Oops, shouldn't point that out, apparently someone here might think I'm being insincere or lying https://twitter.com/SliceWrestling/status/945716114876715008

Advertisers get stuff months in advance and the actual show they get usually bears little resemblance to what was advertised - it's actually more unusual that this 2+ month old advertisement ended up being largely accurate! Edit: Also looks like it was two changes? Orton was advertised as well.

I really hope that the entire build to Mania is just Shinsuke popping out of various locations to smile at AJ, whisper,"I'm going to beat you at Wrestlemania" and then just leave. I'm not joking.

The whole progression here from "Hey, we might get AJ vs. Sami main eventing a PPV." to where we are now is just totally absurd.

Yup, and after Nia/Apollo vs Roode/Flair, we get Banks/Balor vs Miz/Asuka. This tournament should be wrapped up around the time Wrestlemania rolls around, now that I think about it. The only teams who have a real shot at winning though are Strowman/Bliss (due to Connor's Cure), Roode/Flair, and Miz/Asuka (due to her undefeated streak).

I like how they are trying to build up Nia as a monster again but failing miserably, because she's so goddamn awful in the ring (and at cutting promos). e: To the guy below me: Road Dogg is seriously the worst booker in WWE today. And probably in a long time.

Sent an Alexa Bliss reaction gif* a buddy's way tonight and it reminded me how fun Fall '16 SDL was Not great, mind – that Ambrose/Styles/Ellsworth thing went on forever – but fun. As in the opposite of Jinder/Roode/Orton talking for 15 minutes and Jinder stands tall and that's the segment. * http://i68.tinypic.com/24gsg92.jpg

So, to recap the title scenes: Raw: 7-way match to determine a No. 1 contender Raw women: 6-way match to determine champion Smackdown: 5-way match to determine champion Smackdown women: giant shrug emoji Men's Rumble winner: Not on the card Women's Rumble winner: Defending Mania title shot at the PPV What's the point of a Royal Rumble if a billion people are going to get title shots anyway?

Benne posted:So, to recap the title scenes: Pretty sure the storyline here is that Charlotte will defend the Smackdown Women's Title against Ruby Riott at some point (probably Fastlane) and win, assuming the rumors of Charlotte vs Asuka are true. However, that opens up a pretty big problem. Carmella has the Women's Money in the Bank briefcase, and is by far the least over woman on the roster (the only thing that was really keeping her afloat was James Ellsworth). I cannot realistically see her cashing in and beating Asuka and/or Charlotte for the title. But I don't think they want to see the cash in fail either. Now if Asuka decides to go after Alexa or whoever wins Elimination Chamber instead, then everything posted above is null and void.

I am very sure Carmella's failing her cash-in now. Or maybe she'll jump over to Raw because canonically, she is loving terrified of Asuka. Actually, she should absolutely cash-in during Wrestlemania on the Raw match just so we can get a heel cashing in on a heel vs. heel match.

I think regardless of what happens, if we get Nia Jax vs Alexa Bliss in a singles match at Wrestlemania, no other match on the card will be as bad as that one.
