Not sure if this means we're getting Demon Finn v. Lashley or something else (or it's just BS and we're not getting Demon Finn at all) https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/news/photo-finn-balor-portrays-demon-character-on-wrestlemania-35-graphic

Finn: I won't use the demon against Brock Lesnar because I'm afraid of it becoming a crutch. I want to win as myself, the man, Finn Balor. Finn two months later: Guess I need my crutch, huh.

Once right before Aaliyah and Vanessa Borne came out and once before The Forgotten Sons came out for the Dusty final. It was a gimmick to get fans making noise when we absolutely otherwise would not have been.

I mean, showing up randomly like 3 weeks before WrestleMania to get into a mid-card ladder match is a thing Sami Zayn does

Oh gently caress, I forgot about the Wrestlemania Intercontinental Ladder Clusterfuck. Welp, that's what BRAUN, Sami, Balor, Corbin, Lashley and I guess Rush are doing. So we got: Becky/Ronda/Charlotte Seth/Brock HHH/Batista Bryan/Kofi (plus maybe Owens and maybe Ali or maybe they get thrown into the US mix?) Angle/probably Cena Roman/Drew IC Title Ladder Mess Boss n Hug/Samoans/Pin Up Strong Revival/Black Ricochet/Gable & Roode (maybe elimination rules?) Usos/Hardys/New Day (I reckon the Bar, Nakamura and Rusev go to the ARMBAR) Joe/Truth/Rey/Andrade/Ali/KO (ladder maybe?) ARMBAR Ladies ARMBAR (which I'm gonna bet decides who Asuka's wrestling) Murphy/let's face it, it's Cedric Maybe something with Undertaker Whatever Alexa's doing as host.

Wrestlemania would be a much better show if it was like half as long and they just paid everyone the basic "ok, you're in the battle royal/8 man tag undercard match" bonus whether they're on the card or not.

10 championship matches, 2 Battle Royals, Triple H/Batista, Angle/TBA, Miz/Shane, Styles/Orton, Reigns/???.... yeah, it's going to be 17 matches. I mean, it's entirely possible that there is no blowoff match for some of those singles matches and they just lump it into the battle royal drama. But that doesn't seem likely. I'd honestly be okay if they left some title matches off the show, except people will be irrationally angry about it.

Well they need to fill 9 hours somehow. I am highly considering not bothering watching Mania this year, partly because WWE hasn't given me one of those $1 for 3 months of the Network deals but mostly because I don't think I can sit through all of the boring matches this year. It's funny because my partner and I got offered tickets to the show and we both instantly were like "Nope, not sitting in a stadium in Jersey for 10+ hours in the beginning of April for that." I am kinda bummed I am not going to the MSG show but everything else I had interest in seeing is way out in Jersey and sold out instantly.

Best I'd ever hope for is having two groups, with the overlap/hand over period being the royal rumble to wrestlemania. You can have all of the roster that went off season in the summer or whatever make their SURPRISE RETURNS in the rumble, and people will get to relax. Money in the bank and Christmas time are still a pain to manage but they've never cared about that.

For me splitting it out over two days would be fine. I'm not sure where that leaves Takeover, if it means merging it or moving it or what, but I'm already watching on Saturday anyway.

As soon as they split Wrestlemania into two nights, within five years each night will have 15 matches and everyone will be wishing for death.
