Well... it's not the Wrestlemania weekend everyone envisioned... but it is here... beginning tonight with the Go Home Edition of Friday Night Smackdown pre-taped from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla.

By the way... this might be a good time to mention that WWE has only enough content in the can to get through NXT this upcoming Wednesday night... meaning WWE has stuff to figure out before next week's Smackdown show

No matches are promoted for tonight's show... just John Cena coming out to answer Bray Wyatt's challenge for a "Firefly Fun House Match"... which G has been scouring the WWE encyclopedias for the last week trying to figure out the rules for such a match

And the 6 competitors who were supposed to battle in the SD Tag Team Title Ladder Match will be on Miz TV/The Dirt Sheet... that of course being the champions Miz & Morrison, The Usos, & The New Day

WWE does have some writing off to do tonight... let's see if they actually do it... namely Roman Reigns from the Universal Championship match & Miz & the Usos from the aforementioned ladder match

Did you know Stephanie McMahon has had not 1... not 2... but at least 3 "wardrobe malfunctions" on WWE TV? 2 of which were at Triple H's hands?

There's some talk that WWE might just go on a break after Wrestlemania and scrap the stuff they've already filmed for Raw. I doubt that will happen but we'll see. Also Wrestlemania will be available on the Fox Sports ap and Fite.tv if you want to pay full price for some reason.

WWE has promoted 'Mania so much differently than pretty much any show of the last 6 years

instead of just "streaming on the WWE Network for $9.99/mo."... they've really promoted the PPV broadcast of 'Mania hard the last few weeks... almost as if they've gone back in time and promoting the show in the era pre-WWE Network

the talk of moving the big 4 events (Rumble, 'Mania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series) to either PPV only (off WWE Network) or to another steaming service (ESPN+, Fox Sports+, Disney+, etc.) is still alive and well and could happen quickly once this virus crap finally goes away

I may have to visit the Library of Congress.

There seems to be some kind of disagreement here.

A lot of the early reports on Wrestlemania seem to be false. I've seen 3 or 4 different sets of spoilers now with different results for most of the matches.

I guess we'll see what happens. They may do backstage Mania segments to write people out.

and he wears that hat better than Lacey

I don't think Cole, Sasha, & Bayley are practicing social distancing right now

Bayley's sick of Cole now, too?

Cole doesn't have friends like Tony does

Sasha's been busy dressing up as other divas
