"Better than Raw" chant during Owens-Balor. lol

[Tomiko]

Great match.

Spoilered for those who want to watch the match without knowing the result:

Spoiler: show

My only complaint was Owens getting up so soon from Finn's finisher. Finn selling the leg injury as the reason he couldn't go for the cover was great though.

Noted Reddit user MetsFan4Ever has commented on post Wrestlemania plans for Brock Lesnar, including terms of his new deal, plans for other Superstars and a few other notes leading into Summerslam.

According to the verified “WWE Insider,” Vince McMahon was initially against Lesnar retaining the title this weekend, but has come around is on board with the idea. Vince, Triple H and their ‘inner circle’ have been working feverishly to figure out possible outcomes for the match.

The change in McMahon’s thinking is due to Brock being re-signed by WWE this week. We previously reported Brock has signed a three-year deal, and MetsFan4Ever has said the terms are for $3 million per year, for the full three years. This would be a pay cut from the reported (but unconfirmed) $5 million per year Lesnar had been making since returning to WWE in 2011.

The report also says Vince is OK with the idea of Brock being WWE Champion, John Cena holding the United States title, and either Sheamus, who is still unconfirmed to have a role Sunday, or Daniel Bryan holding the Intercontinental Championship. Dean Ambrose’s name was also mentioned, stating he is in line to get a heavy push heading into Summerslam. The two secondary titles would take a bigger television and house show presence, and Lesnar would continue to make limited appearances while holding the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

It was noted that Roman Reigns’ push is being compared to Lex Luger’s 1993-94 WWE push, in the fact that neither star got over with the crowd as intended.

Only took Vince the whole WM season to recognize that. And I love how its worded as if it was Roman's fault and not his booking.

Other interesting tidbit is heavy push in line for Ambrose for Summerslam. Maybe he can finally start winning some PPV matches and feuds??

[Tyrath]

Also lolololol wat. Eva Marie is replacing Lawler as host of the Hall of Fame.

I didn't even know she was still employed, because she shouldn't be!

But everyone loves Total Divas, Maggle.

[Anoat]

Eh, give her a telaprompter and she should be fine. Ask her to ad lib, and shit will get embarrassing.

To be fair Lex Luger was more over than Roman. Granted that was 90% due to his American hero gimmick going against the big evil Japanese monster that wasn't Japanese but he was still more over going into WM.

As long as she is as gorgeous as she is (in person, like...I don't even know how to describe how flawless her skin looks...just unreal) and is blowing Vince, she'll be on tv. lol

This is extra funny to me because my government name is Michael.

Battle Royal is being knocked to the pre-show, now leaving Mania at 7 matches for 4 hours. Expecting lots of guest/musical guest bullshit or a shit ton of Reigns dicksucking promos. Or both

[Melena]

The fuck? So Preshow is going to consist of the 4 way for the tag titles, the 4 way NXT play in for the battle royal, and the battle royal?

[Krandor]

The NXT 4 way is on Friday

[Tyrath]

While there was no reason given for why the match was moved off the main card, it’s very likely the outcome of the battle royal will lead to a singles bout being added to WrestleMania 31.

The Miz and Damien Mizdow were a part of the “WrestleMania Today” segment where Michael Cole made the announcement, so it’s very possible the highly anticipated break-up between the two could go down this Sunday as many fans were hoping.

Might be okay.

[Delirium]

Wrestlemania is essentially 6 hours now @@

[Krandor]

The pre-show matches are both happening in the 2nd hour I believe, so you probably don't have to watch the first hour of it.

[Vagrant]

The NXT Tournament was tonight actually.

Spoiler: show

Hideo Itami won? Not sure quite I get that but okay.

WWE also seems confused by the decision as some of their social media pages can't decide if Itami won or if Balor won. Definitely was the two of them in the finals however with Itami beating Neville and Balor beating Breeze in the first round.

Itami confirmed. Balor has conceded defeat on twitter.

You know they are probably just bringing him in to do Go To Sleep on WrestleMania as a big fuck you to CM Punk.

This article literally just summed up the worst possible scenario.

If all of that happens, fuck that. I'm done. I don't see it being very likely though..
