The speculation on Goldberg-Lesnar for the title is that Vince wants the belt involved in the match, and it would be a way to elevate one of their other guys - Strowman, Reigns, someone else - for a big title win at SummerSlam.

The Cena mixed tag stuff, it's speculated that Nikki Bella is retiring, and it would be done as a favor to her and Cena to let them work a match together at Mania. It's also thought that it might tie into Total Bellas, with Cena "surprising" her with a proposal, despite him saying he didn't want to get married ever again.

 

I watch the Divas/Bellas on E when I'm bored. I like Nikki. It'd be a neat story. If that's the direction they're going in....why the F did John Cena just own AJ Styles and become the king again? This would be like Hogan teaming with Beefcake at WM9 except at that point he'd been out of the title picture for 2 full years.

You'd think Finn Balor would have to be on the card someplace too......

I don't know if Cena's sticking around or not, but if he is the only reasonable way to close Mania this year would've been with the match he and AJ just had at the Rumble.

 

My gosh, it's like they don't even want us to watch anymore.

What the hell is Vince thinking?

 

If they had done the exact angle they're doing with Lesnar, but using Joe instead of Goldberg, it could've been 100 times better and made a true top star for the next 5-7 years.

Would've been one hell of a 'Mania main event, too.

 

And it'd be plausible because Joe is a legit bad ass and has the rep to hang with Lesnar on submissions and endurance/physicality.

 

The Cena mixed tag stuff, obviously we'll know who wins, but Miz should be doing some very good work in the lead-up.

Reigns-Undertaker should have been done last year. Or the year before. On the bright side, it could be the thing to finally turn Reigns heel.

Goldberg-Lesnar for the belt? Come on. 1. It doesn't need the belt. 2. It shouldn't be the main event anyway. 3. How long will the match go? Five minutes tops?

 

Depends on if Brock breaks out the Shooting Star Press for old time's sake.

 

Is this the chink in the armor that will finally cause the New Day to implode?

 

I know people think they need to shake things up with the New Day and break them up, but something tiny like an indifferent Big E eating peanut butter is why I never want the New Day to break up.

 

I love Goldberg, but he does not need the title. Also, just to drop it to Bork Lazer, who will disappear until SummerSlam? Great, your brand new title, which you're still trying to put some legitamacy on, just let it disappear for four months and have the only singles title be the US title? Just let Charlotte main event with the Women's title every week.

Surely The E isn't that stupid.

And I am so disinterested in Bork at this point. He hasn't been interesting in a few years. Brock Lesnar, YEAH BUT he's gotten lazy.

The rest of that card sounds just as garbage.

 

Surely that "leaked" Mania card was someone's way of swerving Meltzer right? I mean c'mon.
