Wrestlemania Weekend: Smackdown/HOF/NXT Stand and Deliver Thread 4/18/2025

Wrestlemania weekend kicks off with the Kickoff Show on Peacock right now before Smackdown and the HOF on Peacock tonight. Also known as the warmup show for all of the mid & lower card talent to get ring time. Announced for tonight...
- Pat hosted today's show live from WWE World. Michael Cole co-hosted the entire show while Roman Reigns, HHH, and Rhea Ripley (sans makeup) made appearances.
- There still isn't a clear opponent for Randy but the pool seems to include Rusev, Alister Black, and Solo.
- It has been announced that Mania is kicking off with 70,000 people Yeeting for the WWE Championship. Sunday's opener is the Triple Threat match for the Women's championship. The big question seems to be whether the spotlight has been taken off Flair-Stratton due to their incident two weeks ago.
- And finally, John Cena appears to be in full heel mode with the press. In an interview with the NY Times he was quoted as saying “I don’t care who hears it: I love Vince.”
*** We'll go ahead and use this thread for SmackDown, the HOF, and NXT Stand & Deliver. I'll put the WrestleMania thread up around 4 tomorrow. ***
quote:- The set was revealed on The Pat McAfee show this morning. It can be seen here. He pointed out that the stage has seating built into it. (Maybe where the live performances are done?)
* John Cena and Cody Rhodes to appear
* Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal
* WWE Tag Team Championships: Street Profits (c) vs. Motor City Machine Guns
* Chelsea Green, Alba Fyre, & Piper Niven vs. Zelina Vega, Kayden Carter, & Katana Chance

With as bad as this buildup has been I really hope trips has a killer show put together

Ticket sales are currently about 55,000, still a good number but not a sellout.

Rollins is spitting facts here about Punk

That's not horrible for both nights. There was a bit of sticker shock from the Royal Rumble prices so I'm not completely surprised.
I'll probably pay for whatever they're charging for that $1k tier when they're in Indy. Already planning on both nights of Wrestlemania, Smackdahn, the HOF, and the RAW After Mania. Plenty of miles on the car but still cheaper than the inflated Indy hotel process.
ETA: Section 101 is a pretty sweet view for $1K.

If I was going to this I would have shelled out 800 for section 129/128

I think I ended up paying about $175 to sit around the middle of the dome for WM34. I couldn't see the stage due to the big lighting rig hanging down over the ring, which means I had to watch all of the entrances on the big screen. Those seats are definitely not worth $500 a night to me.

They gonna push Felix this fast???

Anyone else think Seth Rollins has already sold his soul to the Rock?

I believe that too. Idk Seth dropping that “best for business” line the other day got the wheels spinning in my head
