Id be suprised if they took Wrestlemania out of the US. If they run Wembley its more likely to be another Summerslam, or even a Royal Rumble.
HHH has met Sadiq regarding 'mania. Was it last year or the year before where the crowd were literally freezing? I agree Summerslam would make more sense. We had decent summers here, long days and not too hot.

RR won't happen as it's too cold. A late April WM could work, Summerslam is most likely because it can be tied into the Summerslam before and we're more likely to have good weather for it. I just think a WM in London would be absolutely amazing, and they could probably charge a grand a ticket even up in the gods and sell out the whole place, make to use a smaller stage set up and they could push 100k attendance

WM would be great but they would have to move the Vertu paint trophy final to accommodate which I can't see happening
From All In at Wembley Stadium to Forbidden Door at The O2, that's a massive drop off.
Reckon we're closer than ever to a London WM at Wembley
Don’t think it’s that fair to suggest that any show that isn’t in a Wembley Stadium size setting is a ‘drop off’. All In is AEW’s big show. Forbidden Door is bit of a niche event even by AEW standards.
The O2 is still a big venue for any promotion that isn’t WWE to be doing, and they’ll more than likely sell it out.
Doubt I’ll bother with this one tbh. The whole Japan crossover cycle always seems very shoehorned in and I’ve absolutely no interest in NJPW.
Not particularly excited for Wrestlemania this year.
In my opinion the worst Wrestlemania card & build up in recent years
Hard to disagree. Mate and I chat wrestling and boxing and we are both of the belief that if you have huge main event the rest of card doesn’t really matter. Personally feel Mania should have both a good undercard and main event. However, both main events feel like huge matches.
Expecting all the matches to be of high quality as the roster is very talented.
It's a step down from last year which was one of the best ever, but it's not as bad as recent years where we would be looking forward to the NXT show more than 'mania.
I think the women's 3 way should have main evented the first night. A 3 way with no stakes that's gives away the Punk main event angle makes little sense to me. Yes, i do believe the women can follow it.
Cody got heavily booed on Smackdown. It took a lot longer than i predicted.
That said, more pale than Sting at Starcade '97 was a superb line!
Unfortunately that's the typical WM weekend crowds nowadays, they boo the faces, cheer the heels, go into it for themselves and are generally fucking annoying.

The Raw after WM is even worse
And its that same hardcore crowd, who are very smart to the business, that would have been clamoring for a heel John Cena for 20 years.
Cody has been the most 'over' babyface WWE have had in live arenas in a very long time. Cena and Reigns during their core face runs couldn't get the same reactions and I don't recall them ever having the unified fan support that Cody has had in the last 3 years.
I do think his character will need some freshening up though post Mania.

They've calmed down recently, but there's been times when they've ruined the show with their attention seeking chanting.
WWE buying AAA, less choices for fans and wrestlers. Whoopee.
Why is it less choice? Are they buying it to shut it down?
They would never shut down 'NXT UK' either right? Coincidentally started just at the same time as World of Sport got a good slot on ITV and made sure all the top stars couldn't perform there.
Monopolies gotta monopoly.
Just hope Japanese companies stand firm against it.
WWE have a deal with NOAH already (which so far only benefits Noah) and what little is left of NJPW has a deal with AEW and CMLL.
AAA is a surprise. I'll expect it will be business as usual for them with some WWE stars like Rey appearing for them. I can't see WWE having as many Luchas as WCW had.

Agreed, probably a Summerslam before us too! 😃

This whole week has contained some of the worst interviews I've ever seen from one company.

Bronn absolutely nailed this. Wrestler with the highest ceiling atm imo
