Strummer Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Miz in the Andre battle royal so no singles match for him and Mizdow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I actually wanted to see Miz vs Mizdow since it's the only thing that's had more than a six week build and I think both guys deserve a reward for getting the angle over.

Strummer Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Mizdow should win the battle royal. Doubt it but at least it has to further the break up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Ryback and Axel in batte royal. I guess at this point you have to wonder if the Dusts are in battle royal or get a singles match and what they do with the tagteams. Mid card seems set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 It's not the worst thing in the world to have a few major feuds in the battle royal I Guess. Last year they had Sheamus and Christian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Waco Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Honestly if they aren't going to push anyone coming off the Battle Royal then Mizdow should probably win it. He's one of the five most over guys in the company (at worst), and his winning is likely to get a massive reaction, especially if he dumps Miz toward the end. Â If they are going to push someone coming out of it Ryback should probably win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmmnx Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 The best worker of the past 15 years, and the most over guy in a decade doesn't have a decent Mania match this year because? Â At this point I just want Bryan to go to NXT and work Owens, Zayn, Neville, Balor, Itami, and Breeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Wait, they are gonna do the battle royal gimmick again ? I guess because it worked so well to get Cesaro nowhere real fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjh Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Sting vs. Triple H in regards to how the card currently looks, is pretty much the only match that's going to have universal fan interest in the "right" guy. I don't think the result is in doubt (Sting is winning), even Triple H's ego isn't that big. It would be a huge booking fuck up to have Sting lose his first WWE match. It would significantly diminish what they could do with him going forward. Â Actually, I wouldn't be surprised to see Hunter winning given the WWE vs. WCW narrative being spun. Plus, what is Sting's future? All evidence suggests that at age 56, that this is likely his final match and that WWE have no real plans for him afterwards other than a Hall Of Fame induction next year.

pol Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 So they've booked themselves into a corner with Reigns where, even though it's too soon, they pretty much have to pull the trigger on him now or forever damage his potential ceiling as a top guy. That said... where the hell do they go with him after Mania? Show and Kane would be flat feuds and horrible matches. A successful Rollins cash in immediately cuts the legs out from under him. The best choices seem to be Rollins still with the briefcase or Rusev, both of which would require outcomes to their respective Mania matches that I don't see happening. I guess they could do Triple H too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmmnx Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 After Rusev and Bray job at Mania I'm not sure they'll have a credible heel for Reigns to work. Which is why the only move is him turning, and joining up with Heyman. There will be a much better group of faces for Reigns to work coming out of Mania. Maybe they'll just do the tweener thing, but I hope they finally let him ditch the Shield gimmick, and find his own character as a heel.

pol Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 That really seems like the best scenario to me too, if only for the fact that Wrestlemania ending with your new top babyface getting booed out of the building seems like a horrible way to kick off your future ace's first title run. With a heel turn maybe they can salvage the guy. Then you have Cena and Orton as potential challengers... not sure how those matches would be though.

Â I keep thinking that as horribly as they book the midcard, when it comes to a guy they really want to get over they won't saddle them with the horrible shit they do everyone else. But looking at the evidence from the Reigns push thus far, I'm not so sure any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple H is going to do the job because there isn't any longterm plan for him either. Triple H is there because it won't hurt him at all to lose to a 56 year old. Because WHO CARES if Triple H loses. This whole idea that everything needs to build to the next thing is okay for Monday Night Raw or Fastlane or whatever... but Wrestlemania should see stuff end. If the swansong for Sting is one match in WWE where he wipes out Triple H, thats a good thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
