- You can read my booking of Wrestlemania 32 last year
here. It's the final part, but there are links to the other parts: https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/4d7t16/how_wwe_should_book_wrestlemania_32_part_4/
- You know, I was thinking I'd have this whole thing in
multiple parts, because this is gonna be really goddamn long. Then I
decided SCREW THAT. IT'S WRESTLEMANIA. I AM GOING TO CLUMP THE ENTIRE SHOW
INTO ONE POST. So here we go
PRE-SHOW
- Oh God. 2 hour Kickoff show. Social Media Lounge
segments are announced earlier in the day with Baron Corbin, Kevin Owens,
Bayley, and Randy Orton. Our Wrestlemania panel is Renee Young, Booker T,
Jerry Lawler and Shawn Michaels. Booker, Jerry and HBK all talk about
their experiences at Wrestlemania throughout the kickoff and what it means
to them. We get all sorts of interviews and video packages and sorts, and
we get the SML with Owens. WE get to our first kickoff match.
1ST KICKOFF MATCH: Neville (c) vs.
Austin Aries (Cruiserweight Championship)
- Just like everyone else, at first I was FURIOUS when it
was announced that this match was moved to the Pre-show of Wrestlemania.
These two will put on one of the best matches of the night. I later
realized the reasoning as half of the kickoff is to be broadcasted on USA
Network. They wanted to put a big match on the kickoff to get viewers on
there. Smart idea, really. Neville is out first and he has a giant cape
and a purple crown to signify he's the King of the CW's. He is on a big
circular platform and slowly lowers down back to the stage and walks the
Mania ramp to the ring. Aries' music hits and he walks out with his
sunglasses and he has all sorts of fancy lights. Bolded text in this post will
mostly be my INSAAAANE Wrestlemania entrances. The match goes 15
minutes, and it is an INSANE match as they pull out the high flying-est of
the high flying-est moves for Wrestlemania. Austin Aries win the title
after Neville tries to play dirty and slides out and sneaks a Kendo Stick
into the ring. Neville swings it at Aries to try to get intentionally
DQ'ed, but Aries jumps, and nails Neville win a viscous Enzuguri. Aries
gets Neville back up and whips him off the ropes. He hits the Rolling
Fivearm, and knocks Neville down. Austin goes to the top rope and hits a
450 Splash, then locks in the Last Chancery, as Neville fails twice to get
to the ropes as Aries pulls him back to the center of the ring. Neville is
about to tap but screams to the ref and points toward the announce table,
like something is happening. The ref is distracted and Neville low blows
Aries and he falls down. Neville hobbles over to the ropes and hits a Red
Arrow. Neville retains the title. I LOVE AUSTIN ARIES, and he is already
probably the most over guy in the divison, but he shouldn't win a title in
the pre-show, as no one should. Aries should have to chase the title.
Maybe he could win it at Payback in a rematch. Plus, casuals really aren't
that familiar with Austin yet, so it'd be best to wait a bit longer.
WINNER and STILL Cruiserweight
Champion: Neville
- We get the SML with Bayley, and then the panel gives
more predictions and we see videos from all the events of Wrestlemania
week. We get to our second Kickoff match.
2ND KICKOFF MATCH: 2017 Andre The
Giant Memorial Battle Royal
- No chance I list EVERYONE in this match. No chance in
hell. No chance... No chance in... sorry. Some of the less important guys
in the match make their way out as Lilian announces the match rules. The
guys who get proper entrances are Braun Strowman, followed by Big Show,
followed by Dolph Ziggler, American Alpha, Mojo Rawley, and Sami Zayn. It
looks like everyone has come out, but no, IT'S TIME FOR SURPRISE ENTRANTS.
With DDP and Shaq and Tatanka in the match last year, I really think this
is a fun idea. We get THE BOOGEYMAN and then Road Dogg, and he does his
schtick. The bell rings and and everyone runs at each other and starts
brawling. Braun immediately picks up both of the Shining Stars and runs
and dumps them over the top. Sin Cara goes to the top rope and tries a
crossbody on Braun but Braun catches him mid-air and tosses him over the
top. Eventually we get to the final participants: Braun Strowman, Sami
Zayn, Big Show, American Alpha, Dolph Ziggler, and Mojo Rawley. Gable is
on the apron. Gable and Big Show are standing and Gable tries to stun Show
with strikes and knees. Show grabs Chad's throat and pushes him into
Jordan, and Gable goes over the top too. Braun goes over and tries to
eliminate Show, and they both lean over the top. Sami hits a Blue
Thunderbomb on Dolph and then a Helluva Kick, and Ziggler flies over the
top and is eliminated. The final four are Big Show, Braun Strowman,
Sami Zayn and Mojo Rawley. Braun hits a big boot on Show and Show falls
into the ropes. Mojo sees the opportunity and runs and dropkicks Show and
he goes over the top rope but hangs on. Mojo is celebrating, thinking he
did the impossible, but Braun grabs Mojo and gives him a belly to belly
over the top. Braun nails show with the running powerslam, and then throws
him over. Sami and Strowman have a staredown and Sami gets offense in on
Braun. Sami slides out and gets a chair and begins to beat Strowman down
with it over the back. Zayn retreats Braun into the corner. He runs and
nails a Helluva Kick. No budge. He tries another Kick, and then one more,
and then runs to the corner for a fourth Helluva Kick and Strowman hoists
Sami up in the air and Zayn flies over the top. Braun Strowman has won the
Andre. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUNNNNNN. Too bad this
couldn't happen on the main show. Who knows? The SD Womens Title match was
moved back...
WINNER OF THE 2017 ANDRE THE GIANT
MEMORIAL BATTLE ROYAL: Braun Strowman
- We go back to the panel and we see the flood of fans entering
the arena outside. We get the SML's with Baron Corbin and Orton. They both
say they're winning gold tonight. Finally the 2 hours is filled. Shawn
ends the pre show by talking about his wins at WM and says if he was
willing to come out of retirement to wrestle one more match, the guy he'd
want to work with is AJ Styles. Very important for later. Now, we go to
Wrestlemania.
MAIN SHOW
- We get a panning shot of the stadium and crowd and the
MASSIVE Mania pyro, and we start Wrestlemania with Tinashe preforming
America The Beautiful, hopefully with planes flying over. Because that's
cool. We go to the opening Wrestlemania video package. I'd love if the
song was "Letters In The Sky" by Civil Twilight. Look it up. It
was used in the WM29 video package for Rock/Cena Twice in a lifetime, and
it is PHENOMENAL. It should be used in every video package. We get all the
history and biggest WM moments as usual. We go back to the ring and the
crowd and Lillian says "WELCOME TO WRESTLEMANIA".
- Wrestlemania kicks off with the WM hosts, the New Day.
Big E does his pre-entrance phrase and says "OHHHHHHH WRESTLEMANIA
33, DON'T YOU DARE BE SOUR, ORLANDO, CLAP FOR THE MOST BOOTYLICIOUS
WRESTLEMANIA HOSTS EVER, AND FEEL THE POWAH". New Day make their way
out with some insane entrance, hopefully they get to ride in on
Unicorns like was rumored last year. They crack jokes and talk about
Wrestlemania moments. They promise to make this the best Wrestlemania of
all time. Kofi takes a comically long list out of his pocket and they read
it off on all the ways they can make Wrestlemania booty. They read their
list, and then they say New Day rocks and clap. Now, this is one of the
things that I don't 100% know could happen, and I hate doing things that
I'm not 100% sure can happen, but if they can, Hulk Hogan's music hits and
he makes his WWE return. Real American is ringing throughout Camping World
Stadium and Hogan has a that giant red and yellow fluffy thing that he
puts around his neck. Still no idea what it's called. Hogan makes his
grand return, and it would be VERY interesting to see the crowd reaction.
Hogan's first words back: "WELL LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING BROTHERS".
Hogan says all his catchphrases and reflects on his time away from WWE.
Hogan and New Day have some comedy lines and Hogan ribs himself at the end
by saying that the people in the Silverdo- CAMPING WORLD STADIUM are ready
for an amazing Mania. Hogan ends by saying "WHATCHA GONNA DO ORLANDO,
WHEN THE NEW DAY, BOOTY O'S, HULK HOGAN AND WRESTLEMANIA 33 RUN WILD ON
YOU". Hogan does his signature pose and New Day mock him. This would
be a really fun start. As Hogan leaves up the ramp, we see ringside guys walking
down with ladders. We know our first match of WM's main show. We get an ad
for Tapout, and then we get to the match.
1ST MATCH: Luke Gallows & Karl
Anderson (c) vs. Cesaro & Sheamus vs. Enzo & Cass (3-Way Tag Team
Ladder Match for the RAW Tag Team Titles)
- The Club are out first with huge fancy robes and they
Too Sweet and some pyro goes off. Cesaro and Sheamus are out next and it's
a heavily James Bond-esque 007 entrance. Enzo and Cass are out last and
they say SAWFT with 75,000 people. The bell rings and all 3 teams
immediately exit the ring to grab ladders. The match goes 17 minutes, and
some big spots are:
Cass is laid out on a ladder set up
between the apron and announce table, and Luke Gallows goes to the top rope and
jumps and crushes Cass through the ladder with a Legdrop.
Cass hoists Enzo up on his shoulders
to try to grab the belts, but Cesaro climbs the top rope and nails Enzo with a
jumping uppercut, sending all 3 crashing and burning to the ground.
Anderson is on the top rope with the
ladder upright, and he's about to jump and crush Sheamus who is under him, but
Sheamus nails a Brogue Kick, sending the ladder into Anderson.
- In the end, everyone hits their finishers. Enzo climbs
the ladder but Sheamus runs and Brogue Kicks him off. Anderson runs up and
hits Sheamus with a Spinebuster. Cesaro nails Anderson with a Very
European Uppercut, and then Gallows runs and hits a big boot on Cesaro,
knocking him over the top. Cass is left and he hits a Pearl River Plunge
followed by the Empire Elbow. Cass revives Enzo and they both climb
opposite sides of a ladder and grab the titles. Enzo and Cass's coronation
is much deserved and has been a long time coming now. We kick off with a
great ladder match and new RAW Tag Champs.
WINNERS and NEW RAW Tag Team Champions:
Enzo Amore & Big Cass
2ND MATCH: Bayley (c) vs. Sasha
Banks vs. Charlotte vs. Nia Jax (Fatal Fourway Elimination Match for the RAW
Women's Title)
- This should be interesting. Charlotte is out first
and she has a Flair robe. Nia is out next and she is wheeled down to the
ring on a float with a big coat. Sasha is out next and she has an entrance
similar to HIAC where she comes out in a limo, and there are security
guards around it. Bayley the champ is out last and she has SUPERSIZED WACK
WAVING INFLATABLE ARM FLAILING TUBE MEN. They are legit 303 feet tall and
459 miles wide. The match goes about 13 minutes, and Charlotte is
surprisingly eliminated first after Nia KILLS HER with a Samoan Drop off
the Middle Rope onto steps. Charlotte eventually recovers and spears her
through a table in the corner. Bayley gets the pin. This would result in a
Nia/Charlotte short feud after Mania. Heel vs. heel. The final two are
Sasha and Bayley. Best friends. They battle for a few minutes and tease
heel turn from Sasha. Bayley and Sasha attempt to hit their finishers on
each other but they keep reversing. Sasha nails Bayley with a clothesline
and then goes to the top rope and mocks Eddie. She jumps for a frogsplash,
but Bayley wraps her arms around Sasha and hits a Bayley to Belly. She
celebrates on the top rope and poses as we go to replays. We get a shot of
Sasha looking on as Bayley has defeated her. The turn would come the next
night on RAW. I'll have my cards for both Backlash (SD) and Payback (RAW)
at the end of this post.
WINNER and STILL RAW Women's
Champion: Bayley
- We get an ad for WWE Shop. We go backstage and the Miz
and Maryse knock are walking down a hall. They bump into Daniel Bryan and
Miz says that he's very happy that Bryan is there because he has something
to tell him.. Bryan cuts Miz off and says that it's no secret that he
doesn't like or trust Miz. He announces he'll be the Special Guest Ref for
the mixed tag.
3RD MATCH: AJ Styles vs. Shane
McMahon
- This is the match that kicks off (or goes through to)
the second hour. Styles is out first and in his entrance the arena goes
dark and there is a spotlight that says "P1" on him. The LED's
behind him flash blue lights and pyro goes off around the stadium. Shane
makes his way out next and money rains from the sky, and I REALLY WANT HIM
TO BE WEARING A JACKET, OR SOME SORT OF CLOTHING MADE OUT OF MONEY.
The match goes 21 minutes, and Shane's big spot where he kills himself
happens when Styles is going for the Phenomenal Forearm, but Shane ducks
and AJ accidentally hits the ref. The ref is down so he can't count for
being on the outside. Shane goes and sets up a pile of tables and stacks 2
on top of each other. Shane hoists AJ up on the top rope and then gets him
on the tables. SHANE CLIMBS THE TOWER THAT HOLDS UP THE GIANT RING ABOVE
THE ACTUAL RING. HE CLIMBS UP ABOUT HALFWAY, BECAUSE IF HE ACTUALLY JUMPED
OFF THE RING ABOVE THE RING HE WOULD LEGIT DIE, AND NO ONE LIKES DEATH.
Shane crosses his heart, and then leaps and nails Styles with an elbow
through the two tables. Shane is OUT. They recover for a while and then
Shane hits his very bad looking punches. Shane shoves AJ into the corner,
and then Shane goes to the opposite side of the ring to hit the Coast To
Coast. Shane jumps but Styles nails Shane mid-air with the Forearm for the
win. Brutal match. AJ's music hits and both men lay motionless in the
ring. AJ eventually gets up and then yells for a mic. AJ's music shuts off
and he says he is the greatest wrestler of all time. He has just beat a
MCMAHON. He is at the top of the mountain, and nobody can touch him. He
has beaten everyone on SD, and has had the most successful first year in
WWE history. He challenges anyone in in the back to come out and tell him face
to face if they think they're better than him. AJ looks toward the stage
for a few seconds as anticipation builds but nothing happens. AJ laughs
and begins to say that no one has the balls to say it, when all of a
sudden who makes their way out but Shawn Michaels. If we're ever gonna get
the much wanted HBK/Styles confrontation, it's at Wrestlemania. Shawn
makes his big entrance and then gets to the ring and he and Styles have a
staredown. The fans chant Holy Shit and This is Awesome as they stare off.
AJ blows Shawn off and goes to leave but then swings at Shawn. Shawn
catches AJ's hand, and nails him knocking Styles down. HBK goes wild on AJ
and corners him. HBK runs at Styles for a Corner Crossbody, but AJ
dropkicks Shawn and he takes a big bump. AJ immediately goes and grabs
Shawn and gets him up for a Styles Clash and the crowd goes mental. Styles
is about to hit it but Shawn kicks AJ in the face and AJ drops him.
Michaels hits an Atomic Drop and then a Crossbody off the ropes. He does
the Kip-Up, and then goes to the corner and tunes up the band. Shawn runs
to SCM AJ but AJ ducks and rolls out of the ring to massive boos. AJ
retreats through the crowd and Shawn motions for Styles to bring it.
Nothing would come of this, but it would be a damn awesome moment seeing
these two go at it, and I'm sure Shawn would be willing to take 1-2 bumps.
WINNER: AJ Styles
- We go to the announcers and we get recaps of Axxess. We
see Dasha backstage and she announces that her guest is Sasha Banks. She
asks Sasha about losing to Bayley, but Sasha just stares off into the
distance and walks off.
4TH MATCH: Dean Ambrose (c) vs.
Baron Corbin (Intercontinental Championship)
- BIG BANTER BARON FOR CHAMP Ambrose is out first and
we see him tied up in a straightjacket in a chair. Ambrose escapes the
straightjacket and then grabs the IC title. Ambrose's music hits and he
goes to the ring. Corbin's entrance has him come out ON A MOTORCYCLE, and
he has the spotlight follow him as he rides down and around the ring.
The match goes 3 minutes. Yes. It is extremely face paced, and Corbin
needs to be established as absolutely dominate. It won't be the end for
Ambrose. Also, there must be time for the rest of the matches... The two
have very fast paced action and the ending sequence sees Corbin runs at
Dean and he hoists him up for the Deep Six, but Ambrose lands on his feet.
Ambrose kicks Corbin in the gut and Corbin goes off the ropes and nails
Dean with a BIG BIG Boot. Ambrose now goes into the ropes but rebounds for
his clothesline, and Corbin catches him for the End of Days. 1.2.3. Just
like that, Big Banter Breakfast Barrage Belly Beastly Baron Corbin is the
champion of the Inter..continents.
WINNER and NEW Intercontinental
Champion: Baron Corbin
5TH MATCH: John Cena and Nikki Bella
vs. The Miz and Maryse (Mixed Tag Team)
- I'll admit, this is the match on this card that has
probably had my favorite build. We get a video package before the match.
Daniel Bryan's music hits and he comes out in a ref shirt and YES's down
the ramp. We see a bunch of people rush to the rampside, yelling and
making a comotion. They're obviously actors, and Miz's music hits. A GIANT
red carpet is rolled down the WM ramp for miz, and there are tons of fans
taking pictures and begging for an autograph but Miz just rejects them all
and he and Maryse walk down to the ring. Cena and Nikki are out next, and
all of a sudden all the people near the ramp who were big Miz superfans
rip off their Miz shirts to reveal Cena shirts, and they all hop up and
start doing the You Can't See Me motion. Cena and Nikki run down to the
ring and kiss. The match goes 14 minutes, and near the end Miz pushes
Bryan and accuses him of counting too slow as he just attempted to pin
Cena. Push comes to shove and Bryan finally snaps and puts Miz in the Yes
Lock to a HUGE reaction. Crowd chants Yes and Bryan won't let it go. Bryan
eventually breaks it and Cena drops Miz and then hits the Five Knuckle
Shuffle alongside Nikki on Maryse. They both hit AA's and then Bryan
counts the pin. They celebrate and Bryan YES's with the crowd and then
goes to the corner to not distract from what is about to happen. A
ringside guy hands Cena a small box. You know what's coming. Again, like
with Hogan, I'm not 100% sure that this could happen, and I'm not 100%
sure that Cena would actually go through with it, but Cena gets down on
one knee and proposes to Nikki. HOPEFULLY she would say yes, and
then they all celebrate and it's a feel good moment. It's gotta happen.
They've been playing it off too much as a vocal point of the feud.
WINNERS: John Cena & Nikki Bella
- We get ads for Payback and Backlash
6TH MATCH: Bray Wyatt (c) vs. Randy
Orton (WWE Championship)
- We get a video package before the match and Orton is
out first to a live acoustic performance of his theme "Voices".
Wyatt is out next and he walks down and there is an army of men in sheep
masks walking all around him to the ring, as the entire stadium is lit up
by fireflies. The match goes 16 minutes. I'll be honest, this is one
of the matches I'm least excited for. If No Mercy showed anything, these
two do not mesh well together in the ring. The match is full of great
storytelling. Obviously everyone would love for the Hardys to return in
some capacity on the show, I'd love Broken Matt to confront Bray, but it
appears they aren't coming until the Summer. Bray gets the upset?? win
after Orton does strikse the ground and waits for Bray to get up. Orton
goes for an RKO, but Bray pushes him away, then pulls him back in for a
Sister Abigail. Bray has only held the title since EC and he could really
prove himself with it. If it's really necessary, they could have one last
match at Backlash, but Orton just doesn't need the title here.
WINNER and STILL WWE Champion: Bray
Wyatt
- We get a backstage segment with New Day, and they
interview new Intercontinental Champion Baron Corbin.
7TH MATCH: Seth Rollins vs. Triple H
(Unsanctioned Street Fight)
- I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR THIS MATCH. This will be
fantastic. Triple H is out first and he does his usual insane entrance
with skulls, terminators, lasers and explosions and fireballs, but not
before we see the evolution of The Game. First Hunter Heart Helmsley's
music hits, then My Time, and then his current music. Rollins ascends down
from the the top of the stadium in a giant white robe, with heavenly music
playing, similar to HBK's WM25 entrance. HE IS CROSSFIT JESUS, AFTER ALL.
Rollins finally gets to the ground and his real music begins to play.
The match goes 28 minutes. It is a BRAWL. They begin by getting in each
others face. Tables are broken, HHH PEDIGREES ROLLINS ON THE KICKOFF
PANELIST'S TABLE, they fight into the crowd, chair shots, there are
ladders, HHH beats Seth down with his sledgehammer. If there is gonna
be blood in any match on this show, it should no doubt be this match.
Both guys bleed heavily from the battle. Near the end, Rollins lays HHH
out on the announce table, then sets a ladder up on the outside. Rollins
climbs the ladder and is about to jump, when all of a sudden the ladder
begins to tip, and HHH moves and Rollins crashes through the announce
desk. IT'S SAMOA JOE. Joe starts beating the everloving shit out of
Seth, and then FINN BALOR'S MUSIC HITS. Balor sprints down the ramp
and jumps Joe. Joe picks up Finn and they both go through the barricade.
HHH slides Rollins back in the ring and gets him in position for a
Pedigree. Seth flips HHH over and then runs off the ropes AND HITS ONE
LAST WRESTLEMANIA CURB STOMP. Rollins then goes to the top rope and
nails a Phoenix Splash, and gets the win. Seth Rollins has slain the king.
The main event of the RAW after Wrestlemania would be the mega match of
Seth Rollins & Finn Balor vs. Triple H & Samoa Joe.
- We go to our Kickoff panel and they give their thoughts
on Wrestlemania so far. We then go backstage and Roman Reigns is in the
locker room taping up his fists for his match. Roman all of a sudden
stands up and the camera pans over to THE ROCK. Rocky wishes Reigns good
luck in his match with Taker. Reigns says he doesn't need luck. Rock says
his catchphrases and a match between the two is teased.
8TH MATCH: Alexa Bliss (c) vs.
Mickie James vs. Becky Lynch vs. Naomi vs. Natalya vs. Carmella w/ James
Ellsworth (6-Pack Challenge for the SDLive Women's Title)
- This could be a fun match but also could cool down the
crowd so they're not completely dead for the remainder of the show after
HHH/Rollins. Alexa is out first and she is HARLEY QUINN SUPREME.
Carmella is out next, then Natalya, then Mickie James, then Naomi and she
has the most epilepsy-inducing entrance yet. Becky is out last and she is
ENGULFED IN SMOKE. The match goes 13 minutes, and Naomi wins the title
back in her hometown at Wrestlemania by pinning Natalya.
WINNER and NEW SDLive Women's
Champion: Naomi
9TH MATCH: Goldberg (c) vs. Brock
Lesnar w/ Paul Heyman (Universal Championship)
- If this match can't go over 5 minutes, then it
shouldn't be the main event. I'd have that go to Taker/Reigns, for the
result I'd have and since it's rumored to be Taker's final match. We get a
video package before. Lesnar is out first and he has new attire and he
jumps on the apron and PYRO GOES OFF ALL AROUND THE ARENA. We wait a few
seconds as Brock looks toward the stage and then Goldberg's music hits. We
see him walk a very long route backstage, and he kicks a hole through his
locker room door and it falls down. A SWAT TEAM surrounds him as he walks
out. He does his punching and kicking motion on the stage and instead of
pyro, THE SWAT TEAM FIRES THEIR GUNS INTO THE AIR. This has gotta be
the match where Goldberg takes bumps. The match goes 6 minutes and this is
what happens. *Goldberg immediately hits a Spear, and then another Spear.
He hits a Jackhammer, and LESNAR KICKS OUT AT 1. Brock Lesnar does not
fuck around at Mania. Lesnar goes MENTAL and hits 230 Suplexes on 'Berg.
he F-5's him through 2 Announce Tables, and then hits one final F-5 in the
ring to win. Absolutely destroyed Goldberg. The Beast is once again a
Champion. The Beast will once again defend that championship every 3
months. Lesnar and Heyman walk up the ramp to the back and then Goldberg
makes his exit as the fans cheer him on, probably not, signifying
Goldberg's retirement.
WINNER and NEW Universal Champion:
Brock Lesnar
- We get an ad for 5 Hour Energy
10TH MATCH: Chris Jericho (c) vs.
Kevin Owens (United States Championship)
- This will be SO SO great. I've had this Jericho
entrance idea for a long time now.. Jericho's retro titantron hits and the
countdown happens. The camera focuses on his titantron, and then we see
Jericho in his light up jacket. He puts his arm out, AND A GIANT WALL
BEHIND HIM EXPLODES AND CRUMBLES DOWN. HE'S BROKEN THE WALLS DOWN. Owens'
music hits next. Can't really think of anything insane for him.. but he's
shown walking through the curtain at Gorilla. The match goes 19
minutes. One big spot in the match is Owens hitting a Package
Piledriver on the apron ton Y2J. The match ends when Jericho goes for
a Codebreaker. He jumps but Owens catches him, throws him up in the air
and hits the PUP. 1.2.3 Kevin Owens is the new champion of the United
States. I'd think this is Jericho's last match of this run, but apparently
he's coming back again after Payback and just going on a month-long Fozzy
tour.
WINNER and NEW United States
Champion: Kevin Owens
- We get the 2017 Hall Of Fame inductees on the stage.
Angle's music hits and he comes out. He gets a mic and announces that he
has officially signed a WWE contract, and he will wrestle again.
11TH MATCH: Roman Reigns vs. The
Undertaker
- Here we go. The MAIN EVENT of Wrestlemania 33. If it is
Taker's final match, he no doubt should go out in the main event. Before
the match, Michael Cole enters the ring and has an announcement. He
announces that a VERY special guest is joining the commentary table for
the match. GOOD OL' JR, JIM ROSS. JR comes out to a massive pop and he
puts on the headset one more time. All of a sudden, we hear a
Helicopter, and a giant Roman Reigns logo on the stage. ROMAN REIGNS MAKES
HIS ENTRANCE IN A HELICOPTER, AND IT FLIES OVER THE STADIUM AND LANDS ON
THE LOGO. Roman jumps out and punches the ground and pyro goes off
everywhere. Taker comes out next. He has a combination of the awesome
zombie effect from WM29, fire, lightning all over the titantron, and red
smoke. Druids carry out a casket, and the casket door opens and Taker sits
up, then the druids lower the casket to the ground The ultimate final
Undertaker Wrestlemania entrance. I'm very worried about how long it will
take for him to go down the ramp. it's very long. A normal Taker entrance
is about 5 minutes.*. The match goes 20 minutes. *One big spot in the
match sees Roman hit a Superman Punch on Taker. Taker falls and drapes
over the middle rope, similar to the position of a 619. Roman rolls
outside and prepares to hit the Drive By. Reigns runs and jumps and trys
to dropkick Taker but Taker grabs Reigns mid air by the throat and
chokeslams him onto the floor. I was thinking that if Taker was
willing to go one last year, Cena could attack Taker either during the
match or post match, and there could be a one-year build to Cena-Taker at
WM34. It could also Cena's heel turn, but I just don't see that ever
happening. The match ends after Taker does the throat slit motion. He goes
to grab Roman for the tombstone and gets him in position. Roman reverse
and flips Taker over, AND GIVES TAKER A TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER. ROMAN MOCKS
TAKER BY PINNING HIM WITH HIS HADNS ON HIS CHEST AND STICKS HIS TONGUE
OUT. 1.2.3. ROMAN REIGNS HAS DEFEATED THE UNDERTAKER WITH HIS OWN DAMN MOVE.
This would be unbelievable. It would make Roman the biggest heel in
wrestling without making him heel. Roman gives Taker his second Mania
loss, and with his own Tombstone. Just imagine the reaction. Fans will be
more stunned then when the streak originally ended. It will be incredible.
Roman Reigns is not bad. Roman Reigns is very good. He is the top guy,
handpicked by VKM, and fans have to accept that. He's gonna beat Lesnar
next year for the UV title. Fans have to accept that. Taker also has to
put someone over in his last match. Admit it; you'd love to see this. The
ultimate irony. Roman Reigns is babyface, but really he's the biggest heel
WWE has. HHH even admitted it. Undertaker winning would make no sense.
Roman immediately retreats up the ramp and doesn't look back. He just
walks slowly to the back. Taker struggles up and everyone in Camping World
is on their feet, clapping for Taker. Trust me, this will all work out in
the long run. If you're betting on predictions for this show, bet on Roman
Reigns, or your wallet gonna be empty.
WINNER: Roman Reigns
- The next night on RAW, the main event as said earlier
is Rollins/Balor vs. HHH/Joe. Goldberg has his retirement speech, and The
Revival debuts and wins the titles from Enzo and Cass in their first
night.
- On the SD after Mania, Shinsuke Nakamura and Elias
Samson make their debuts.

Well, that's how I would book WM. I know the Backlash and Payback cards are shaky and probably bad. I feel like AJ and Nakamura would obviously be a PHENOMENAL tag team, and it would lead to a WWE Title main event title feud between the two down the line. I'll be live at the show tonight. Tell me what you liked and didn't like, and what from this you'd like to see on the show. What are your predictions? Enjoy Wrestlemania, everyone.
