Early WrestleMania 34 plans as of now ***Spoilers****
 
Quote:


Vince McMahon is looking forward to WrestleMania 34, as he expects it to be a bright spot among WWE's recent declining attendance for live events. The feeling is that WrestleMania will sell itself, on name alone, for at least several more years, even if attendance continues to decline for house shows, tv and network specials (formerly called PPV's) and that WrestleMania can continue being held in large stadiums for the foreseeable future.


Early plans for 2018's event include Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar, but that is not rumored to be the main-event of the show. Vince McMahon is aware Roman pinning Brock will likely garner a hostile reaction from the live crowd and as a result is planning on pushing the bout as a major selling point of WrestleMania to help solidify the Roman era, but not the main-event itself. John Cena vs. Jinder Mahal is expected to headline WrestleMania 34 currently. The hook for the match will be that if Cena can defeat Jinder he will break Ric Flair's World Title record but if he loses he will have to retire from WWE forever.


Other matches currently being discussed include Team Ronda Rousey vs. Team Bayley, Nikki Bella vs. Alexa Bliss, Braun Strowman vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, Bray Wyatt vs. Kalisto, Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn, Finn Balor vs. Enzo Amore, Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose, HHH/Randy Orton vs. Kurt Angle/Jason Jordan and AJ Styles vs. Kane. The Andre The Giant Battle Royal is expected to return and will help get many superstars on the WrestleMania card or pre-show. Bobby Roode is said to be the early favorite to win the Battle Royal.


WWE is also looking ahead at potential WrestleMania 35 host cities and would like to have a decision made by late 2017. Favored choices thus far include San Antonio, Dallas, Miami and Tampa.

lol what a shit card

Sixx 10-26-2017 05:36 AM

Errr Balor vs Enzo fucking Amore? You must be kidding me.

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-26-2017 05:42 AM

Hopefully this is Fake Newz.

ClockShot 10-26-2017 06:17 AM

I don't believe any of this.

Maluco 10-26-2017 06:26 AM

I am glad he is confident that it will continue to sell on name alone, because that card is atrocious.

Is there no understanding that things like bad writing, Roman reigns and Jinder Mahal are to blame for bad attendances? Like, does he just think the bad attendances are just one of those things?

If he does Jinder Vs Cena as the main event of Mania, I don't know what to think...preceded by Roman pinning their biggest (only?) start clean.

What a concept

Sepholio 10-26-2017 06:48 AM

LOL. I just can't.

Fignuts 10-26-2017 07:28 AM

what the fuck at all of that.

Please stop believing slik especially when he can't cite sources.

Rammsteinmad 10-26-2017 08:17 AM

Zayn vs. Owens and Ambrose vs. Rollins would be great matches.

Rammsteinmad 10-26-2017 08:17 AM

Or, if this news was legit, they could save up some space on the card by doing Zayn & Owens vs. Ambrose & Rollins.

Evil Vito 10-26-2017 08:34 AM

Wyatt vs. Kalisto
Balor vs. Enzo

Whoever wrote these decided to just have people arbitrarily switch off their current rivals and pass it off as news.

Big Vic 10-26-2017 08:40 AM

Google these three things:
  1. "Balor vs. Enzo" Wrestlemania 34
  2. "Wyatt vs. Kalisto" Wrestlemania 34
  3. "Braun Strowman vs. Shinsuke Nakamura" Wrestlemania 34

Leave the quotes on. The only results you will find are by Slik himself.

Shisen Kopf 10-26-2017 08:47 AM

Ryan Clark vs Slik HELL IN A CELL at Rasslefest

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-26-2017 10:19 AM

Slik is a beautiful man i will not have u sully his name

He is where i go for all my #FakeNewz

Destor 10-26-2017 10:22 AM

lol @ the OPs source

Shisen Kopf 10-26-2017 12:39 PM

AI heard that Andre the Giant faked his death and will be returning for the battle royal to kick the ass of every Meltzer sheep,,,,,,,,

If that was to be believed means there would be a lot of inter-brand matches, don't buy it.

Danny Electric 10-26-2017 01:13 PM

But I can believe that they would want The great American hero to beat a foreign (Canadian) guy in the main event .

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-26-2017 02:31 PM

May the Source be with you

XL 10-26-2017 02:50 PM

Terrible, terrible card...which is why I bought it.

Lock Jaw 10-26-2017 03:32 PM

Jinder Mahal gonna destroy Lesnar at Survivor Series to justify his WM match going on after.

Destor 10-26-2017 03:59 PM

Hope he wins via submission

Camel Clutch?

Mr. Nerfect 10-26-2017 04:50 PM

Obviously just stirring the pot, but this is a totally believable card.

Headlock

Emperor Smeat 10-26-2017 06:22 PM

Can see the WWE and Universal matches being likely but that undercard is a mess even as a fantasy booking idea.

Cena-Jinder has been something speculated as a possibility ever since Jinder won the belt while Lesnar-Reigns II has been rumored as a Mania match ever since their first match didn't end with a Reigns victory.

Outsider 10-26-2017 07:01 PM

The only thing that makes that card believable is just how bad it is.

Danny Electric 10-26-2017 07:44 PM

rumours that Harvey Wippleman will be fighting for the Women's Smackdown belt.

Sepholio 10-26-2017 08:17 PM

Surfer Sting VS Biker Taker also rumored for the show.

It's the other way around this time!

KIRA 10-26-2017 09:16 PM

LMAO if this is real Vince is losing it that lineup fucking sucks

The only thing I have to look forward to this year are the Entrances of Nakamura and Balor possibly AJ Styles and with them cutting costs those will probably be a disappointment too

Exactly.

Heyman 10-27-2017 05:38 AM

There's no way Cena/Mahal will main-event Mania.

Jinder Mahal is a transitional champion.

The WWE are out to lunch if they think Mahal is a worthy of headlining Mania.

Roman and Brock will close the show, and Roman will go over. Hostile crowd or not.

Mr. Nerfect 10-27-2017 05:41 AM

Yeah, they're not changing that plan. Unless they change that plan. I can't think of much that will dissuade Vince though. Unless he decides that his boner for The Shield is bigger than his boner for Reigns as a solo act, because at least Reigns works as the heavy in The Shield.

Mr. Nerfect 10-27-2017 05:49 AM

Still not sold on Cena going after #17 at WrestleMania. It's not going to surprise me if it does happen, and it actually makes some of the most sense right now, but I could also see Cena doing something completely different and weird at Mania. Like, Cena/Taker or Cena/AJ made the most sense at Mania this year, but look what happened. It depends what Cena's post-Mania schedule looks like too. And what he wants to do. Does he want to wrestle his buddy, Joe? Does he want a WrestleMania vanity match against AJ Styles? Does Vince want him to lose to Strowman in order to heat him back up for either Reigns or the guy who does beat Mahal?

I could see quite a few people challening Mahal, really:

* AJ Styles -- Always the best opponent for anybody, seemingly perpetually over for his talents. Him winning the Royal Rumble in Philly would also get a pop, which wouldn't be the case for Reigns or Cena, and Vince might superficially want to go out with a happy end to the Rumble.

* Finn Balor -- They seem to want to market him as a top babyface. There is limited room on Raw. Send him over to SmackDown at some point -- maybe Survivor Series is for draft picks? Balor wins the Rumble and challenges Mahal, beats him in seconds with The Club running interference, Balor gets a Mania moment.

* Big E -- I'm surprised they haven't pushed him as a star sooner. I could see a very quick turnaround on New Day plans, with Big E getting one of the more surprising Rumble victories ever (if plans don't get out), and then Big E becomes the hero SmackDown needs in ridding the WWE of Jinder Mahal. Like with The Club, Big E has two allies who can keep out the Singhs.

* Braun Strowman -- If he ends up on SmackDown somehow (let's be honest, they aren't finicky about these sorts of things) could very easily win the Royal Rumble and challenge Mahal. The crowd would pop for Braun tossing Reigns out at the end.

I would say that Cena is probably far and away the likeliest, but they could go with anyone. They could go with Mahal & The Usos vs. Cena & The New Day at this point and it wouldn't surprise me.

Mr. Nerfect 10-27-2017 08:48 AM

Owens/Zayn vs. Ambrose/Rollins seems almost too parallel to pass up as a WrestleMania match.

Triple H will be working a singles match, and he will get a very long entrance. As much as I want to go with the obvious pick and say Angle, I'm not really sure that they want Angle to "go." Triple H will want someone that he thinks will make him look good. Big entrance, getting a push, NXT guy for Triple H to help "make" even though it won't do anything for him: Finn Balor.

Shane will want a good opponent for WrestleMania too. It'd be easy enough to say Zayn, but I can't see Zayn in a high profile singles match. It'll have to be someone who can make Shane look good. I'd say Ziggler, but I can't imagine him in a high profile Mania match either. Joe? To do the MMA stuff with Shane? Bobby Roode to be the old-school heel? Rusev was originally going to be a Shane opponent. Or how about Jericho? Orton?

The Shane match is actually really hard to call.

Sepholio 10-27-2017 08:54 AM

WWE gonna swerve everyone and have HHH vs Daniel Bryan. That's the money match for HHH.
