Cody ain't got nothing on this. This might be the most thrilling title change of Mania weekend.

 

WWE went with the stage-less setup for the Philly arena ... and a SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE!!!!! Oh damn, shit's going down tonight.

Wonder what they're going to do with the crowd of superstars for the HOF ceremony without any sort of raised stage?

 

Holy shit.

 

Malakai Black and Charlotte may think otherwise, but that was a great reunion shot of Andrade and Zelina.

Speaking of which, are we going to get any inadvertent AEW partners on TV later tonight, like we did last year?

 

Meanwhile, in ROH, that's an excellent swerve, but they lost it when they tried to walk someone with an apparent neck injury out of the ring.

 

So I assumed Carlito took out Dragon Lee to take the Mania tag spot and would be revealed as a fink later……

but now it looks like it’d be Andrade in the spot?

as the LWO turns…

 

Carlito will have his moment to screw Rey over whenever the match is. They're telegraphing it all the way with how eager Carlito was to tell Rey that Dragon was out.

 

And there's the first AEW cameo -- Keith Lee just walks his self smack into camera view, right behind Kayla and Punk.

 

Steph wearing an ECW beret. The first McMahon (by name at least) to be on TV since last Mania?

Refreshing, ain't it?

 

They're leading off the Philly HOF class with Heyman? And ending with who? Lia Maivia?

Or are they going to do some Bray/Bo magic with the US Express at the end?

 

Good intro from Roman. And perfection to have Paul come out to the classic ECW theme.

"You're damn fucking right I deserve it."

Hell yeah!

Saw Dreamer, RVD, the Dudleys (with Spike) and Al Snow at least among the most notable ECW regulars.

 

Heyman credits Trips by saying "I'll forever be a Paul Levesque guy," then tells Steph that she married "the wrong Paul."

This is already down as one of the GOATs of acceptance speeches.
