I feel like Cody/Cena was objectively decent but just not good enough obviously. Overall I’m satisfied for Night 2, ME just disappointed.

That doesn’t make any sense. Wrestling matches are for child custody all the time.

We need someone to check our official WWE rulebook to settle the matter.


John Cena doesn't want kids, and she's half-black, so him selling her would be a really bad look.

I thought we'd get some Rollins involvement, like payback for the time he told Cody he would be his shield. If Jey wasn't too drunk to find his way back to the ring, a Cody-Jey-Jimmy-Roman/Punk alliance to fight off Cena-Seth-Rock-Solo would make more sense than what we got. Instead the charred toothpick was the only backup Cena needed, lame.

Is the NOLA crowd gonna know who to cheer and who to boo?

The crowd tonight was a big issue. They tried to recreate Hogan/Rock, and ruined a storyline instead.

I cannot believe this match ended with tug of war over the belt, then Cody looking like an idiot having a moment of crisis, and then a kick in the dick with a belt shot as the finisher

Didn’t this same Cody Rhodes have zero hesitation putting Kevin Owens through a ladder with an Alabama slam like two months ago lol

Someone else feel free to start the Raw thread. I'm not sure I'll be trying to catch these show live for awhile. Absolutely no respect for the fans with this pile of dogshit. This was worthy of a SNME main event, not a PPV (much less WrestleMania).

TKO/Dwayne/Khan can frick right off. They've taken WWE back to the WrestleMania IX dark ages. AFW isn't even close to where WCW was at that time. Which means WBD, Netflix, and NBCUniversal are completely fricked.

The five minutes last year was so damn good. It set the bar high for tonight.

Creative ruined that storyline. Crowd was the only good thing.

Tonight was solid. If they hadn’t ended with that dud I think tonight could’ve worked perfect.

A bit of a crazy melt huh baw? I'm not telling you to be upset but we are literally 1 year removed from the best Mania ever.

Creative should have known the crowd would be too stupid to do their part, I agree.

The crowds in Europe seemed to have it figured out pretty well. The Vegas trash just couldn’t help themselves.

The highlight of the night was Dirty Dom winning the IC belt.

the women's match to open the show tonight and the men's main event last night was the best of WrestleMania this year.

the rest of the card was just kinda meh..

hopefully next year in NOLA they redeem themselves because outside of those couple of matches, this WrestleMania was forgettable.


gotta add,

Liv Morgan was definitely worth the watch

Cody really got punked, there. His long awaited receipt to Travis Scott was a dud. Scott slapped the piss out of Cody, legitimately. Everyone knows the Cross Rhodes finisher is worked and doesn’t even looks like it hurts. The receipt needed to be a stiff right hand.

That Scott practically no sold Cross Rhodes seconds later only made matters worse.

And yeah....Karma is a motherfricker. Minneapolis is laughing its arse off. The Vegas tourism board is laughing their asses off. The fans that spent the money to see the show took one up the arse.

I do wonder how this affects merch in the near future. (I suspect they will be having to clearance a ton of their WM merch.) I was going to purchase a few items but was waiting to see if I wanted anything from tonight. I deleted my entire cart instead.

Last night wasn’t real good till the main event. Tonight was a great show until the main event. The match seemed choppy at best, and the ending had zero creativity.

I’m not sure I’d call that a no-sell. He played dead and Cody had to physically remove him from the ring. Maybe an oversell, HBK style.
