I'm assuming they'd shoot it at NXT. It'd be cheaper. Crowd would be more into it.
However they do it, it'll at least be good wrestling. I mean, main roster just announced Kane, Ryback & Show vs Harper, Rowan & Strowman at Fastlane. Riveting. Something no one, but Vince, wants to see.

I'm pumped for this tournament. But I know deep down this is Triple's response to BOLA or All Star Weekend. Either way its pretty awesome.

Meltzer killing it again. If you combine it, maybe Taker will be facing Sunny.
- WWE officials have finalized the WrestleMania 32 main events and they have decided on who The Undertaker will face but we don’t know who that person is, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports. It was said that Taker’s opponent is not someone on the roster right now.
On a related note, WWE officials are looking at having two Divas matches at WrestleMania 32 this year. No word yet on what those matches are but it was reported recently that Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks vs. WWE Divas Champion Charlotte in a Triple Threat was in the works. The other match would be one to get several Divas on the card.

It's Cena regardless.
But just to play along.....that leaves Hogan, Angle, Balor, Michaels and Goldberg.

I wonder how many nuts Vince rubs out per night looking at video of Ryback in his new trunks.

Vince has that pointless Ryback highlight video they aired a couple weeks ago on a loop. While using a leftover tub of ICOPRO as a sexual aid.
Enjoy that visual.

This took me 2 minutes to make & it's a joke and all, but now that I look at it, I fucking want this to happen more than anything. |

F you guys, it's Chad Gable!!
No, it'll be Cena. It's the only way. Balor vs Joe is happening at Takeover, so having Balor vs Taker the next night is dumb.
I don't think it'll be anyone in NXT. Corbin is a big guy, but he's wrestling Aries at Takeover. There's no one down there. So it has to be a big name. Cena will be it.

What exactly is the point of having it be Cena? Cena does not need to beat Taker....but he will.
....and how is a mystery match a good idea? There is no build for it.

I would have to think that Taker comes out next Monday or perhaps the Raw after that and gives a retirement type speech. Saying that he's faced everybody he could blah blah blah and then the stupid Cena music hits.

Maybe Taker is the one getting the Vincent J. McMahon award? Then again, why the hell would he need it? It's at least a reason for him to show up on Raw. Cena's music hits & we're off and running.
Cena hasn't wrestled Taker since 2003 in a singles match. Reigns/Owens/Cena. That's the only options I'd really like. I don't want a Sting match.
If this is Taker's last match, I want him to actually be a part of the build for it though. None of this stuff like Bray Wyatt did last year, carrying the entire build up by himself, only for Taker to come in & beat him.

Watching Smackdown, the Jericho/AJ interaction got me thinking. What if at Fastlane, Jericho goes full heel & destroys AJ. DQ finish, with Jericho hitting a low blow, then just beats the living shit out of him. You can build AJ/Jericho up for 6 weeks.
I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Jericho/AJ at Mania.
(Also they just showed the Wyatts vs Ryback/Kane/Show graphic and the amount of cheers piped in for that was fucking embarrassing) |

We bitch about things like the ending of Fastlane & the main event of Mania, but then things like this happen.  |

That's not really a spoiler if WWE released it.

Still rad though. Reminds me of when Perfect & HBK brawled in 93 at RAW. Plus they showed an image on instagram of Ambrose with a neck brace, loaded in an ambulance.

In one of the most shocking moments in wrestling history, Shane McMahon returned to WWE after six years away from the company to interrupt his sister Stephanie’s acceptance of the Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence Award, confront his father and demand control of Monday Night Raw. But to get it, he’ll have to defeat The Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania 32.
As the storyline goes, Shane said that a few years ago, he cut a deal with his father that allowed him to take time off and build some businesses, but that he never “lost his place in line” to the family business. Shane also demanded control of Monday Night Raw, which his father agreed to . . . with a catch: Shane must compete in a match of Vince’s choosing and surrender a lock box of undisclosed family secrets should he lose to The Undertaker.
Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that a similar storyline was originally proposed for WrestleMania 30, with Triple H vs. an opponent of Vince’s choosing, which could have been “Stone Cold” Steve Austin or The Rock. The match would have been for power and control of WWE, but it was ultimately nixed because Vince couldn’t get either Austin or Rock to commit to wrestling. The major storyline heading into WrestleMania 30 ended up being The Authority vs. Daniel Bryan, with Bryan winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Shane’s return was reportedly agreed upon a few weeks ago and he does not hold a managerial position with WWE.
In a twist of fiction meeting reality, Shane legitimately felt he would be the fourth generation McMahon to run WWE, but Stephanie ultimately surpassed him due to have a better understanding of the product. This is something many people in WWE felt. Vince told Shane that Stephanie and Triple H would be running WWE, which ultimately lead to a real-life family rift and Shane resigning from his position as Executive VP of Global Media in 2009. There is said to be a “significant amount of life imitating art” in what Shane said during his Raw promo. There is also a belief that a real-life power struggle will occur if Shane decides to return to WWE in an executive capacity.
Meltzer also noted that while Shane is popular among fans, in reality, they probably wouldn’t be as receptive to him if they knew about his creative ideas behind the scenes. This is why Vince gave Stephanie and Triple H the keys to the company instead of him.
“Almost everybody that I know personally liked Shane over Stephanie but, when it came to ideas when it came to wrestling, when it came to wrestling angles, Stephanie and Paul (Triple H) are so far ahead of him that it’s not even funny,” Meltzer said.

Reigns underwent surgery to repair a shattered nose today. This according to WWE.com and also other news sites, which are complete garbage.
It's fake, Reigns was handed something by Saxton during the beating & I honestly think this is a way to keep Reigns off TV for a week or two, so he doesn't get booed out of the building. Which is exactly what you'd want in your main event guy.......ummm.....
The fact that some actual news sites are going with this as real makes me sad.
