It’s too soon for Roman, I think the crowd would turn again if he wins the belt this early.

I’ve started hearing the boo’s creep back into his segments already. I think WrestleMania next year should be his title shot Although it won’t be because he’ll probably main event Summerslam.

He was noticeably booed the other night in the backstage segment on Raw.

Wrestling fans are brutal, I thought the goodwill would've lasted way longer. He hasn't even done anything or been given his BIG DOG push yet.

I don’t follow wrestling any more but by chance caught a documentary on Kenny Omega last week that was interesting. I used to love Japanese wrestling back in the day. Did anyone else see it? It will be fascinating to see if this AEW amounts to anything.

I hope that the women's main event doesn't end with one big group hug between Charlotte, Ronda, Becky and all the other girls. I know they want to make a huge deal out of the first ever women's WM main event, but it'd be annoying to suddenly break character as if animosity isn't a real thing between the character's.

It can't. It would be ridiculous after they've been battering and insulting each other for months. Then again, Becky and Charlotte hugged in the middle of their feud.

Stephanie will poke her nose into the ending. She can't help herself.

I reckon Stephanie walks out with the rest of the locker surrounding her and starts clapping for the winner or something.

Most years I'm more excited to watch the weekly shows in the buildup to Wrestlemania but this year I've become more and more apathetic each week

Obviously all the faces aren't going to win in the top 3 matches. I think Seth is the one most likely to lose out although I wouldn't be surprised to see Charlotte win. That was clearly the plan all along. Becky's popularity threw a spanner in the works.

Presumably Balor and Samoa Joe will win. I'd love to see McIntyre win and get a huge push.

Hopefully Corbin is taken out of the match v Angle. Nobody wants to see that shit. Angle can't wrestle anymore and Corbin never could.

What time is this due to kick off this weekend? Trying to decide whether to get a few cans in and watch it live or watch it back in the morning.

Kairi, Kofi and Becky winning would be my most feel good wrestling weekend ever.

Can't see it happening but it would be amazing.

Reckon Becky will win. I pray Kofi does too. Seth is the likeliest to lose.

Anyone staying up for Takeover tonight? Gargano is to Takeover what HBK was to Wrestlemania so that should be an instant classic.

(I have no idea what's going on in NXT. I think Velveteen might be close to a call-up, so that's the only logic I've got there. Ricochet & Black being champs in NXT and Smackdown could be fun, but a logistical nightmare, so it's not happening).

I could see her losing the title
Then her and rest of them coming up and being on Ronda's side - would be funny if Ronda wins the main event cos of them

I think this opening tag match is the type of match you'd show someone who has no interest in wrestling and they'd suddenly love it. It's fecking wild and amazing.

That was amazing and to think you still have Walter vs Pete Dunne coming up which should be better.

Really good opener. Hanson is just ridiculous. Pretty much their send off to the main roster.

Don't blame you for not knowing, there was no build to it. Alexa came out on Smackdown and announced it, that's it.

Yeah like I said previously, most years this is my most excited time but this year I've lost interest in most of the matches. But yeah after Black and Ricochet's match tonight I'm excited to see them again at WM, so at least thats a couple of matches I'll be excited for.
