Yeah, I think its nuts to think Banks and Bayley will get a solo one on one match at WM as much as it would probably be the best built women's match. They'll either get put into Bliss' title defense, in the rumored Battle Royal, or just left off the show.

IC, US, RAW Tag, SD Tag, CW, and maybe even Bliss' title will be on the bubble of being on the main show or the preshow. Battle Royals who knows?

God that whole thing sounds like a drag with not a lot interesting. Like, no matter how good AJ/Nakamura will probably be or Miz/Rollins/Balor or the CW or Asuka/Charlotte could be I just can't bring myself to waste a quarter of a day on so much drag. Not unless WWE builds me up.

And I'm still sore that the New Day/Usos build the other week got ruined by the Hammer Idiots.

No way. You don’t constantly tease a match like this and gaurantee HUGE disappointment at this year’s WM just to set up a story line that pays off a year from now. That’d be as dumb as spending months hinting at a Daniel Bryan match when you clearly have no intention of ever putting him in the ring...

OFFICIAL RACIST
For those interested, here are Kambi's odds for Wrestlemania 34 (and who is walking out as champion if its a championship match). Note: These are very early odds and as a result are very likely to change. I listed the odds from most favorable to least favorable.

RAW Women's Champion:

Nia Jax: -500
Alexa Bliss: +300

Smackdown Women's Champion*:

Asuka: -300
*Carmella (If she cashes in): -150
Charlotte: +400

WWE Championship:

Shinsuke Nakamura: -250
AJ Styles: +175

WWE Universal Championship:

Roman Reigns: -800
Brock Lesnar: +250

Intercontinental Championship:

Finn Balor: -117
Seth Rollins: +110
The Miz: +325

US Championship (assuming this is the planned matchup):

Jinder Mahal: -117
Randy Orton: EVS
Bobby Roode: +375

There are no markets listed for anything else yet.

Jinder is actually much more tolerable as a US Title Level heel than a World Champ level heel.

Yeah I'm wary about the Jinder Mahal odds. They are a bit too close to Orton to make an actual judgment call. If Orton drifts then yeah I can see Jinder winning. Same goes for Finn, although I'm a bit more confident in him. Seth also seems somewhat likely. I think Carmella will probably drift if she doesn't find a way to get the crowd to love/hate her before Wrestlemania. While I wouldn't rule out WWE having her beat Asuka for the title (through cash in), I don't think they'll pull the trigger on it if she is still languishing like she is right now.

Really it should be Face Rusev winning the US title but WWE doesn't want to turn him for some weird reason (It's cause he got over when they didn't want him too)

That's the killer. Orton can be good. He just gives no fucks, which is hilarious in a dude who's 37.

For anyone who is remotely curious (probably very few people), apparently you can bet on the Mixed Match Challenge results.

Here are the lines for the first semi-final match:

Asuka/Miz: -1000
Braun/Alexa: +475

I haven't been watching the MMC, is there a one save rule in intergender tag team matches?

If there is, I have no idea how they neutralize Braun from breaking up Asuka's pin or submission on Alexa.

I think I remember tongue-in-cheek complaining about a female competitor breaking up a pin to stop her team from losing because intergender violence is supposed to be disallowed

The women have frequently broken up pins by the men, but not the other way around.

Yeah, there've been a few spots of the women hitting the men but the reverse isn't allowed. I think last(?) week's was a goofy spot of Charlotte chopping Rusev over and over while Bobby snuck up on him.
