Wrestlemania 35

[Mister Master]

 

Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch (Winner Take All Match)

For the first time in WWE history, a women’s match will be the main event of WrestleMania, as Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey, SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch will headline The Show of Shows in a Winner Take All Match for both titles! 

Despite Becky Lynch winning the Royal Rumble in January, Mr. McMahon removed The Man from the WrestleMania Raw Women’s Title Match, and Charlotte Flair was handpicked to take her place. The Chairman’s decision came after a contentious couple of weeks between Becky and the McMahon family, whose insistence that she obtain medical clearance for her injured knee led to a heated confrontation and an indefinite suspension for the former SmackDown Women’s Champion until she got the green light from WWE’s medical staff.

Doing so wasn’t enough to sway the immovable Mr. McMahon, however, especially after Becky attacked Stephanie McMahon on Raw one night before slapping Triple H on SmackDown LIVE, and The Chairman levied a 60-day suspension against The Man that would carry her past WrestleMania. Moments later, he introduced Charlotte as his pick to challenge Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey at The Showcase of the Immortals, thus nixing one highly-anticipated matchup while setting the stage for a sequel to Flair vs. Rousey -- one of 2018’s most brutal, unexpected contests and a clash in which, coincidentally, Flair was a last-minute replacement for an injured Lynch as well.

Becky was eventually reinstated and given a matchup at WWE Fastlane against The Queen, with the stipulation that Becky would be added to the WrestleMania title showdown if she won. Before that contest could be decided, however, Rousey emerged and struck Lynch. The attack gave Becky the win by disqualification and turned the Raw Women’s Championship Match on The Grandest Stage of Them All into a Triple Threat Match. 

In a shocking turn of events, Charlotte defeated Asuka on the March 26 edition of SmackDown LIVE to win the SmackDown Women's Championship. In the wake of The Queen’s stunning victory, Stephanie McMahon emerged on Raw, just six days before WrestleMania, to declare that the winner of WrestleMania’s main event would emerge with all the gold.

WWE Champion “The New” Daniel Bryan vs. Kofi Kingston

For the love of their New Day cohort Kofi Kingston, Big E & Xavier Woods reigned supreme in a Tag Team Gauntlet Match, conquering the likes of Gallows & Anderson, Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura, The Bar, The Usos and eventually “The New” Daniel Bryan & Rowan to finally earn The Dreadlocked Dynamo his much-deserved WWE Championship Match against Bryan at WrestleMania.  

Kingston began his WrestleMania quest when he competed in a Gauntlet Match prior to WWE Elimination Chamber, lasting an hour and racking up three eliminations in a performance that had the WWE Universe clamoring for Kofi to be given a chance on a bigger stage. Kingston put on another stellar performance inside the Chamber, making it to the final two and nearly dethroning Bryan before narrowly coming up short.

Although Kingston was initially given a one-on-one WWE Championship opportunity at WWE Fastlane, the rug was suddenly pulled out from under him when Mr. McMahon replaced him with a returning Kevin Owens. Also at WWE Fastlane, The Chairman baited Kofi into the ring for a Handicap Match against The Bar, resulting in a 2-on-1 demolition.

In the wake of what The New Day and the WWE Universe considered an outrage, Kingston, Big E and Woods confronted Mr. McMahon on SmackDown LIVE and implored him to give Kingston a legit chance. From there, the Gauntlet was thrown down, and Kingston conquered it in heroic fashion by overcoming United States Champion Samoa Joe, The Bar, Randy Orton and Rowan. Moments after the determined competitor turned in the awe-inspiring performance, however, Mr. McMahon once again turned the tables on him, adding Bryan to the contest and assuring that the war-torn competitor would finally taste defeat.

The fed-up New Day considered quitting WWE if the situation was not rectified, but before they could walk out, Mr. McMahon responded by putting Kingston’s fate in the hands of Big E and Woods, placing the duo in a Tag Team Gantlet Match to determine if Kingston would go to The Showcase of the Immortals, and The Power of Positivity conquered that task in heroic fashion.

Kingston will now go to war with the outspoken Bryan, who has spent months looking down his nose at the WWE Universe and berating them for their lifestyles, in a matchup that could very well steal the show on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Bryan, who turned back five challengers to retain his title inside the Elimination Chamber and overcame Kevin Owens and Ali in an edge-of-your-seat Triple Threat Match at WWE Fastlane, recently scoffed at the notion of defending the WWE Championship against Kingston, whom The Planet’s Champion has repeatedly referred to as a “B-plus player.”

After 11 years of blood, sweat and tears, can Kingston realize his dream by capturing the WWE Championship at The Showcase of the Immortals?

Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins

After outlasting 29 other Superstars to emerge victorious in the 2019 Men’s Royal Rumble Match, Seth Rollins has chosen to challenge Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35.

Less than 24 hours after Rollins' Royal Rumble victory, COO Triple H told the determined Superstar to choose which World Champion he would face by the end of that night's episode of Monday Night Raw. However, when The Architect stormed the ring to ignite a brawl with Lesnar later that evening, the unrelenting titleholder leveled him with six F-5s, the last of which came after Rollins screamed "Is that all you got?!" in the champion's direction.

Despite this onslaught, however, WWE.com soon learned that Rollins would indeed select Lesnar as his opponent and dare to journey into the realm of The Beast at The Showcase of the Immortals in search of his first Universal Title.

This will not be the first time that Rollins has battled Lesnar for a World Title on The Grandest Stage of Them All. At WrestleMania 31, The Architect cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to turn Lesnar’s title defense against Roman Reigns into an impromptu Triple Threat Match, and he delivered a thunderous Stomp to The Big Dog to seize the victory and walk out of the main event with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in one of the most unforgettable WrestleMania endings of all time.

Rollins has stolen the show countless times over the past year, throwing down in several instant classics and dazzling the WWE Universe with his jaw-dropping athleticism and tenacity, but does the Royal Rumble winner have it in him to overcome The Conqueror and capture the Universal Championship?

Although Lesnar often comes under fire for his part-time schedule, he is nevertheless a frighteningly destructive force of nature who has taken down virtually every WWE Superstar, often in a grisly one-sided onslaught.

Triple H vs. Batista (No Holds Barred Match)

Evolution may be a mystery, but the animosity between Triple H and Batista is anything but. After a decade-and-a-half of underlying and ever-obvious tension, and, more recently, weeks of severe personal animosity, The Game and The Animal will collide at WrestleMania for the second time in their storied careers, this time in a No Holds Barred Match. If Triple H loses, he will be forced to retire from in-ring competition.

Even though their brutal rivalry culminated in 2005, it’s always been a poorly kept secret that there’s no love lost between The Cerebral Assassin and “The Guardians of The Galaxy” star. Smiles quickly turned to scowls during an Evolution reunion on SmackDown 1000 last October when Batista called out Triple H on his less-than-stellar win/loss record against The Animal, and things got frosty quick between the two alpha males. Cooler heads prevailed that night, but it was incredibly clear that the issues that have persisted between the two since WrestleMania 21 were still very much alive.

The conflict entered a new stratosphere on the Feb. 25 edition of Raw. What was supposed to be Ric Flair’s 70th birthday celebration became a statement on the part of The Animal. Feeling as though Triple H wasn’t taking him seriously over recent months, Batista viciously attacked Flair (a man he has often cited as his mentor) in his locker room, leaving “The Nature Boy” in a crumbled heap and bluntly asking Triple H if he had his attention yet.

He did.

The Game retorted the following week, castigating Batista’s name and character and insisting that he was a quitter. The Animal seemed unphased by Triple H’s decree though, remaining focused on his sole objective: one last match with Triple H. Batista got what he wanted, but it will be on The Game’s terms.

And so, it will happen. There will be a rare WrestleMania rematch, as these two former friends and Evolution running buddies will face off with matters as personal as they have ever been. At WrestleMania 21, the World Heavyweight Championship was the prize as they squared off; 14 years later, it’s strictly about pride.

But then, two weeks out from The Showcase of the Immortals, the wrinkles just keep on coming. In his latest power play to turn the situation to his advantage, The Animal got litigious on The Game, delivering a letter from his lawyers threatening to bail on the match unless Triple H agreed to put his career on the line. Triple H accepted — though, as the 14-time World Champion pointed out, his decision to do so may have come as a bigger surprise to Batista than anyone else.

Shane McMahon vs. The Miz (Falls Count Anywhere Match)

In just a few short months, Shane McMahon & The Miz formed a tag team that stole the hearts of the WWE Universe, bonded over their unique relationships with their respective fathers and became the unlikeliest of titleholders when they unseated The Bar as SmackDown Tag Team Champions during an edge-of-your-seat thriller at the Royal Rumble event in one of WWE’s genuinely feel-good moments of 2019.

Then, in one fell swoop at WWE Fastlane after the tandem failed to regain the titles from The Usos, Shane did the unthinkable, savagely attacking The A-Lister from behind, grabbing Miz’s father by the face before shoving him to the floor and forcing Mr. Miz to watch him continue to pulverize his son in an uncomfortable and prolonged assault.

Even prior to his jaw-dropping betrayal of The Awesome One, Shane was harboring a strong resentment toward Miz, unbeknownst to almost everyone. The two had seldom seen eye-to-eye in the past, but when Shane stepped in for an injured Miz to win the finals of the World Cup Tournament, The A-Lister expected two-thirds of the credit for being “Best in the World.”

Shane silently dismissed any contribution Miz made during that tournament and in their pursuit of the SmackDown Tag Team Titles, and he put all the blame on him for losing the gold to The Usos at WWE Elimination Chamber. 

Back on SmackDown LIVE, Shane revealed the full extent of his bitterness toward his now former partner and said he enjoyed beating The Awesome One up in front of his father. demanded The Miz show up at WrestleMania, because after all, The A-Lister does work for him. Shane vowed to continue his onslaught in a match against Miz at WrestleMania, promising a beating that would be awesome.

Two weeks before WrestleMania, an outraged Miz said Shane was “out of bounds” when put his hands on The A-Lister’s father, and he proposed that their WrestleMania showdown be a Falls Count Anywhere Match, a stipulation that “The Best in the World” welcomed as he promised to punish his opponent all over The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre

At WrestleMania, Roman Reigns will go to war with Drew McIntyre in a highly-personal showdown on The Grandest Stage of the Them All.

After making claims that he singlehandedly broke The Shield by defeating Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins and, most recently, savagely ambushing Reigns on the March 11 edition of Monday Night Raw with a pair of brutal Claymore Kicks, Drew McIntyre challenged The Big Dog to a match at WrestleMania in the hopes of completing the trifecta once and for all. At the same time, The Scottish Psychopath urged Reigns not to take the match for the good of his family.

In the wake of his recent return following his battle with leukemia, Reigns disregarded the warning and wasted little time accepting McIntyre’s challenge. Without a doubt, the elite Superstar is poised to seek retribution for his brothers, and because his adversary decided to incorporate the former Universal Champion’s family into mix, The Big Dog is champing at the bit to get a piece of The Scottish Terminator.

WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bayley & Sasha Banks vs. Beth Phoenix & Natalya vs. The IIconics vs. Nia Jax & Tamina (Fatal 4-Way Match)

As the first bearers of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, Sasha Banks & Bayley have vowed to defend their titles anywhere against anyone. And at WrestleMania, they will indeed face just about everyone when they square off against the up-and-coming IIconics, the dominant Nia Jax & Tamina and two Superstars who helped pave the way for the Women’s Evolution, Beth Phoenix & Natalya, in a Fatal 4-Way Match.

The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection made history by outlasting five of WWE’s best female tandems in a grueling Elimination Chamber to become the inaugural champions, and they followed up that emotional triumph by overcoming Nia Jax & Tamina at WWE Fastlane in their first title defense. Together, they have thrown down the gantlet to all potential challengers as they set out to prove themselves as fighting champions and establish a proud legacy.

However, at The Showcase of the Immortals, legacy itself will be standing in their way. Known as the “Divas of Doom” when they teamed up several years ago, The Queen of Harts & The Glamazon ran roughshod over their fellow Superstars during a dominant run just prior to the Women’s Evolution. The other six Superstars will undoubtedly have their hands full against Natalya & Beth, who used an impressive range of painful submission holds to fold their opponents like accordions during their first go-round as partners.

If that wasn’t enough, the match will include the ultra-dangerous Australian tag team of Billie Kay & Peyton Royce, who not only have the natural chemistry that comes from having known each other since high school, but have also proven themselves to be the real deal week in and week out. The deadly Australians even claimed a non-title victory over the champions on the March 19 edition of SmackDown LIVE. Without a doubt, WrestleMania could prove to be their moment of destiny.

Although Nia Jax & Tamina came up short against Bayley & Banks WWE Fastlane, they made the titleholders suffer in a brutal post-match assault that allowed them to walk out as anything but losers. They reminded the WWE Universe and their fellow Superstars why they are dominance personified and stand as the near-perfect combination of power and ruthlessness. Although the intimidating combination did not etch their place in history as the first titleholders, they have made it clear that they will stop at nothing to become the definitive champions on The Grandest Stage of Them All. 

Will Bayley & Banks have what it takes to overcome the past, present and future?

AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton

At WrestleMania, AJ Styles will take on Randy Orton in a battle to see who has the right to call SmackDown LIVE their house.

After weeks of subtle jabs between Orton and Styles culminated in a surprise Phenomenal Forearm on The Viper at WWE Fastlane, the two Superstars collided in a harsh war-of-words on the blue brand.

Orton claimed that it was absolutely ludicrous that SmackDown LIVE is referred to as The House that Styles Built when Orton has been holding it down and making history on the blue brand since 2002. Orton declared that this wasn’t Styles’ house, but his, and The Phenomenal One would soon just be another “indy darling” who couldn’t hack it against him.

Styles interrupted WWE’s Apex Predator and accused him of never accomplishing one thing in WWE that he could call his own since his father and grandfather opened the door for him and his association in several factions along the way protected him from failure.

Orton took great exception to that claim and promised Styles that this was his house, rent was due and that he should make the check out to the three most destructive letters in sports-entertainment: R-K-O. Styles didn’t blink, instead retorting by challenging his adversary to a showdown at WrestleMania.

United States Champion Samoa Joe vs. Rey Mysterio

After pinning Samoa Joe in a tag team showdown on the March 12 edition of SmackDown LIVE, The Master of the 619 will get a golden opportunity to capture the United States Championship at WrestleMania.

Mysterio’s son Dominick, who was 13 years old the last time his father competed in a one-on-one match at The Showcase in the Immortals, has declared that he will be sitting proudly in the front row to see his dad compete in the high-stakes contest on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Can the masked legend conquer arguably the most vicious and sadistic Superstar in WWE today?

Intercontinental Champion Bobby Lashley vs. “The Demon” Finn Bálor

Bobby Lashley and Finn Bálor have been waging an unforgettable war for The All Mighty’s Intercontinental Championship, and thus, it is only fitting that they slug it out for the workhorse title at WrestleMania 35. Despite their longstanding rivalry, however, is The All Mighty ready to tangle with The Demon on The Grandest Stage of Them All?

Bálor secured his Intercontinental Championship opportunity with a gritty effort that saw him endure tremendous punishment before taking down Lashley and Jinder Mahal in a 1-on-2 Handicap Match on the March 25 edition of Raw. Of course, The Extraordinary Man and The All Mighty have been at each other’s throats for several weeks, with Bálor defeating Lashley for the historic championship at WWE Fastlane by pinning Lio Rush in a Handicap Match and Lashley winning it back on Raw thanks to an assist from The Man of the Hour.

Though Lashley and Rush went through a rough patch where they struggled to get on the same page, the two appear on good enough terms to give Bálor even more to worry about at The Showcase of the Immortals. Now that Bálor has promised to bring The Demon to WrestleMania, can he overcome the odds yet again en route to regaining the Intercontinental Title? Or will Lashley maintain his grasp on the championship in his first WrestleMania appearance in 12 years by taking down the unleashed entity?

Raw Tag Team Champions The Revival vs. Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder

At WrestleMania, The Revival aim to retain their Raw Tag Team Championship against the reunited former WWE Tag Team Champions, Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder.

Moments after Dash Wilder & Scott Dawson overcame Aleister Black & Ricochet via count-out on the final Monday Night Raw before WrestleMania to retain their titles, Hawkins & Ryder approached the champions during a WWE.com Exclusive and asked for a title opportunity in their own backyard at The Show of Shows. The Raw Tag Team Champions responded by saying that they would take the match under consideration.

And it seems they did just that, for The Revival posted a video on Twitter on Thursday making it clear that they will indeed take on the unique challenge on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

While Hawkins & Ryder are former WWE Tag Team Champions, their failure to achieve a modern victory as a tandem, coupled with Hawkins’ notorious losing streak which now registers at 269 matches, raises more than a few eyebrows on Dash & Dawson’s motives for agreeing to face their upcoming pay-per-view opponents.

Then again, while Hawkins & Ryder tend to find themselves in the loser’s column, they’ve continually picked themselves off the canvas while attempting to lift each other’s spirits, and the veterans have considerable experience teaming together.

What will happen when these two tag teams collide for the Raw Tag Team Titles?

Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin (Kurt Angle’s Farewell Match)

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle is truly a lucky man, as he gets the opportunity to end his legendary career on The Grandest Stage of Them All on his own terms. But will Baron Corbin create his own WrestleMania moment at the expense of The Olympic Hero?

After announcing that his career was winding down during the March 11 edition of Monday Night Raw, Angle embarked on a farewell tour that will culminate with his final match at this year’s Showcase of the Immortals. Given the chance to hand-pick his opponent, Angle is looking to go out with a victory over the Superstar who orchestrated his ousting as Raw General Manager months prior and has been a constant thorn in the side of the former WWE Champion.

Though the WWE Universe would love to see Angle ride off into the sunset after a victory against the detested Corbin, The Lone Wolf is a remorseless brawler who is capable of ending The Olympic Hero’s incredible career in painful fashion.

Will Angle tame The Lone Wolf at WrestleMania?

SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos vs. Ricochet & Aleister Black vs. The Bar vs. Shinsuke Nakamura & Rusev (Fatal 4-Way Match)

At WrestleMania, Jimmy & Jey Uso will put the SmackDown Tag Team Championship on the line against Ricochet & Aleister Black, Shinsuke Nakamura & Rusev and Sheamus & Cesaro in a Fatal 4-Way Match.

Although the match was announced by WrestleMania 35 Host Alexa Bliss, there is some speculation that The Usos may be facing repercussions for forfeiting their part in a Tag Team Gantlet Match against The New Day one week earlier, a contest specifically set up by Mr. McMahon to keep Kofi Kingston out of a title match against WWE Champion Daniel Bryan on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Regardless of what prompted the creation of the free-for-all showdown, The Usos now face a chaotic uphill battle to hang on to the gold against the surging Ricochet & Black, the deadly alliance of The King of Strong Style & The Bulgarian Brute and five-time Tag Team Champions The Bar.

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy vs. Tony Nese (Kickoff Match)

At WrestleMania Kickoff this Sunday, WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy will defend his coveted title against an opponent who quite possibly knows him better than anyone — his former friend and training partner Tony Nese.

Since winning the WWE Cruiserweight Championship in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia, at WWE Super Show-Down last year, Murphy has demanded only the best competition in the world. WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick has obliged, leading to memorable battles with the likes of Cedric Alexander, Humberto Carrillo, Mark Andrews and Akira Tozawa.

Nese earned the opportunity to challenge Murphy at The Showcase of The Immortals by defeating former champion Alexander in the finals of this year’s WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament. In addition to besting The Soul of WWE 205 Live, The Premier Athlete also claimed victories against Kalisto and Drew Gulak to advance in the tournament.

Ever since he began training with Murphy, Nese has shown a renewed focus and competitiveness and will have the chance to put his mettle to the ultimate test when he challenges The Unstoppable for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship in the shadow of New York City, just miles away from his home of Long Island, NY.

Though Murphy initially congratulated his WrestleMania challenger after Nese toppled Alexander in the tournament finals, The Juggernaut of 205 Live shocked the WWE Universe seconds later when he suddenly blasted Nese with a savage boot to the face, bringing their friendship to a sudden and nasty halt.

Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal returns to WrestleMania for the sixth straight year, and a multitude of Superstars from Raw and SmackDown LIVE will collide to see who will claim the contest’s coveted trophy.

The annual Battle Royal was introduced at WrestleMania 30 in honor of the late WWE Hall of Famer, Andre the Giant. Since then, the over-the-top-rope extravaganza has been an opportunity for the winner to carve out a legendary WrestleMania moment while catapulting his career to new heights.

The complete free-for-all will begin with all participants in the squared circle at the same time. A competitor will be eliminated once they are thrown over the top rope and both of their feet touch the floor. The last woman remaining will be the victor.

Last year's inaugural WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal left Naomi feeling the Glow when she emerged victorious in the groundbreaking match on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Will she make it two in a row? Or will another Superstar be determined enough to battle through the bedlam and propel herself into the spotlight?

So far, the following Superstars are confirmed for the all-out melee:

1. Asuka
2. Carmella
3. Naomi
4. Lana
5. Mandy Rose

Bons combates mas alguns tiveram um build up fraco

[Almeno]

Não acho que tenham tido um build up fraco. Acho que é que algumas histórias começaram um pouco cedo demais e estagnaram, como o ME, o Universal Championship, basicamente as principais da RAW. Desenvolveram a história muito cedo e depois tiveram que engonhar e acabou por perder o interesse. Já as principais da SD (WWE basicamente) começaram mais tarde e culminaram mesmo antes da Mania.

É por aqui, o mesmo se aplica um bocado ao Joe vs Rey (ainda gostava que o Cien fosse posto neste combate tbh)

[Ruas]

Lashley x Finn é combate de show semanal, o mesmo para o Joe x Rey.

[Almeno]

É verdade Ruas, mas têm história por trás. Não está a ser simplesmente repetir o mesmo durante semanas.

[Ruas]

Qual é a história do Rey x Joe? Pergunta sincera. Mas como mete o puto dele, e o Joe é um savage, até podem criar alguma cena engraçada. Ah e também queria o Andrade aqui, saia logo um dos match of the night.

O Finn e Lashley tou farto sinceramente. E se o Finn vier de demon é só parvo. Quer dizer, para ganhar o Universal vou normal que isto não me interessa muito, mas para o IC? wait a minute!!

[El Shafto]

Citação de Ruas, há 3 minutos:

Como assim combate de show semanal? O Finn vs Lashley eu até dou de barato porque acho que a feud já devia ter acabado ou nem devia ter começado, mas particularmente o joe vs rey?

[Ruas]

Não tou a dizer que o combate não vai ser bom ou que não tem interesse. Mas não é um combate que facilmente vês num show semanal? Tipo, esta semana o Joe defende o cinto contra o Rey, yey. Não vejo como um Mania match, não sei explicar muito bem. Mas por exemplo um Rey x Andrade, fosse qual fosse a estipulação, já o via como Mania match, porque iam mandar à casa abaixo. Aqui parece que foi tipo "pah precisamos dum challenger para o Joe, o Rey tem nome, booka essa m*rda", um bocado em cima do joelho, ao mesmo tempo que cagaram na feud todo do Cien com o Rey que faria muito mais sentido. Cien a gozar com o Eddie, filho do Rey envolvido.

Fica a ideia que não confiam no Cien, que acham que não tem nome suficiente ou star power.

O Rey vs Joe é daquelas mais simples que, basicamente, os resultados alinham-se para isso. Acho que tem mais coisas antes, mas, para simplificar, quando o Joe ganha o título é daquelas situações que, geralmente, é colado aquela cena de "roubar" ao outro, sendo que, neste caso, o outro foi o Rey. A seguir, no Fast Lane, é o Rey que sofre a derrota diretamente para o Joe reter o título, mas logo a seguir, no tag match, é o Rey que derrota o Joe. No meio disto tudo, nunca é 1v1, portanto é o tira-teimas e porra, são dois gajos mais que grandes o suficiente para merecerem que esse tira-teimas seja na Wrestlemania. 

Aliás, até acho que vai começar algo lento mas vai ser dos combates mais interessantes da Mania. Rey vs Big Guys é quase sempre interessante.

Por acaso eu até fico com a ideia é que ficaram surpreendidos com a boa forma do Rey.

[Ruas]

Sim, verdade. Mas depois de já ter visto o que ele consegue fazer com o Cien no ringue fica aquela sensação de desapontamento. Porque não ia ser só um bom combate, ia ser do crlao. E depois de roubarem o show semana sim semana sim no Smackdown acho que mereciam ir a Mania mandar a casa abaixo. Até porque a feud já existia há mais tempo do que toda esta história com o Joe.

[Almeno]

Citação de Ruas, há 5 minutos:

Qual é a história do Rey x Joe?

O facto de o Rey ter duas vitórias (acho) sobre o Joe. É a formula mais simples.

 

Citação de Ruas, há 6 minutos:

Isto é que é parvo. E o Demon não surge quando o Finn diz "ai vou-me pintar todo agora", nunca foi assim. A feud com o Lashey foi para culminar na Mania como Demon. O Finn ganhou o título e tem estado sempre em desvantagem contra o Lashey e o Lio. Também é uma formula simples. Não vejo o problema nisto.

E isso de serem combates de shows semanais. Hoje em dia qualquer combate é um combate de show semanal.

Mesmo quando conseguem fazer uma Mania com um bom card, com histórias por trás e que geram alguma expectativa a reacção é deitar a baixo porque não têm build up, são combates de shows semanais, é isto e aquilo.

E já se começava a arrastar também.

[Ruas]

Calma Almeno, eu só disse isso de 2 combate e esta m*rda vai ter 17/18 ou 19 LOL

Nem tenho nenhum problema em eles tarem lá, é só a minha visão da coisa.

Ronda x Becky x Charlotte por ex é claramente combate de Mania e não de show semanal por exemplo.

Mas a feud não acabou oh @El Shafto eles tavam naquele 2 out of 3 e nem esse combate acabou. Nessas m*rda sou uma beca picuinhas.

Por acaso, mesmo isto tendo um quilhão de horas, preocupa-me a duração de combates.

Não vou mentir, não me lembro mesmo já disso. Confesso que depois de vários combates já tava um bocado perdido. Mas vamos ver no que dá, ainda há uma Smackdown pre-mania, pode ser que arranjem algo para o boy. Para mim seria lógico mete-lo ali, mas também não fico revoltado se não meterem. Se não for este ano, é para o próximo, garantido.

Eu estou calmo.

Com tantas coisas por pegar acho tremendamente injusto ir pegar nessas. Quando são combates/feuds que fazem sentido. Especialmente a do Finn.

Por acaso, agora por causa desta discussão, até acho que geriram bem as coisas. Tens histórias claramente maiores que as outras, combate das gajas, os world titles, depois tens umas mais soft e com bons combates, tipo o aj vs randdy, usa e intercontinental, etc

Força Vince, eu acardito

Mas eu também não disse que não faziam sentido. Eu só vejo como 2 combates "menores" vá.

Estrear-se na Mania a ganhar o World Title não era mau de todo 🤷‍♂️
