WrestleMania could be any PPV throughout the year. That’s why you build it up to be special with the stories. I mean, the only other thing that would inherently make it special is that you have those part-timers you were just complaining about.
* Brock and Roman has been the best thing in WWE and frankly deserves to be the main event.
* Becky and Bianca, should that be the match, has been set up since SummerSlam. I mean, they might move in a different direction, but if they go towards Liv Morgan for Day One, you’re then into Rumble season.
* Seth Rollins and Montez Ford could be the husbands fighting, which would be an amazing opportunity for a dude with star potential to step up and have an arrival party. People whinge about new stars not being created all the time.
* Orton vs. Riddle has been building since they started teaming, whenever that was.
* AJ Styles having an amazing wrestling match is always a treat.
* Big E vs. Edge is just me putting together something on the Raw side. But the story of Edge’s comeback has been him wanting to be the champion. It’s a bit uninspired to have him go after it as a babyface again, especially against Big E. Edge going to a dark place (we haven’t seen him since Hell in a Cell) could tell a cool story of the veteran going super-obsessive about getting one more run.
You fill it up with the pomp and circumstance, WrestleMania is going to be fine. Sorry you don’t like it, but it’s perfectly fine for modern wrestling context with something half-way resembling having a vision to it. Especially if the prerogative is to make young stars like Bianca Belair, Montez Ford, Toni Storm, Matt Riddle, etc. at the show.
