From the recent WON...

"The Mania lineup at this point is looking like:

- Goldberg vs. Lesnar
- Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns
- HHH vs. Seth Rollins
- Jericho vs. Owens
- Wyatt vs. Orton
- Show vs. Shaquille O’Neal
- Charlotte vs. Bayley vs. Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax as the Raw women’s title match.

The key is the Rumble winner is likely, although they could swerve, to be the person who will challenge for either the Universal title or WWE title. The only Smackdown match on that list is Orton vs. Wyatt, and it’s not a secret that Wyatt was scheduled for a title run in 2017. That immediately puts both of them in contention, and if one wins, the other would be favored to win the Chamber match. There’s a story that just started going around about Orton winning the Rumble and Wyatt winning the Chamber match. If that doesn’t happen, it would be because plans changed. Even though historically the booking before Mania always gets out and it almost never changed (it changes for other reasons, such as injuries or guys quitting, but that’s usually known as well), with the increase in social media, my feeling is nothing is a lock until it happens. I doubt we’ll see major destination changes, in the sense the top of the card will probably be pretty close to as is slated now, but how to get there could change."

Please add AJ vs Joe. Cena vs Strowman interpromotional match. Or make it AJ vs Joe vs Cena and have Ambrose vs Strowman cause there's nothing else for him except the ladder match(again) or against Borin Corbin.

What they do with Joe at the Rumble will give us a good idea of what AJ, Cena and Ambrose are going to do. Joe might go to Raw as a face and do something with Strowman or he could go as a heel and do something with Balor. Or I wouldn't be shocked if Joe attacks Cena at the Rumble costing him the title. Either way it appears AJ/Shane is going to happen. While Cena either wrestles Joe or Ambrose at Mania. With Ambrose back up option IC ladder match. While on Raw they could do Joe/Balor or Joe/Strowman or Balor/Strowman or put Balor with Anderson/Gallows in some big tag match. Either way it appears a lot of good wrestlers might end up in Andre the Giatn Rumble.

NO CENA, AMBROSE, AJ - their No Mercy triple threat should have been here. Myopic scheduling - they should have Austin'd Cena (ran over him) if they saw that their triple threat was squandered by the Hillary-Donald Trump feud.

Reigns will recieve the boos in his career when he even stands in the ring with taker. let the match aside.
for gods sake please let this not happen. taker wont gonna get him over just like ambrose,rollins,usos,banks & others have tried and failed this will likely fail. 99%

Orton vs Wyatt
Im looking forward to but its not gonna be for the WWE Title in my opinion. No chance in hell they giving the strap to wyatt this year.

Shaq vs Big Show & HHH vs Rollins
Im okay with these.

Jericho vs Owens
hopefully for the UT.

Goldberg vs Lesnar Main Event
Gonna be a pukefest for 5 minutes.

That means Taker wins the Rumble, Reigns UC Title, and then Taker instead of choosing the WWE Title goes for the Universal. The hate for Reigns would be iconic and this forum will go nuts.

Outside of Orton/Wyatt as one of the "confirmed" matches... what a shitty card.

Word is they well be doing a SD woman's card too. Four way of Alexa, Becky, Nikki, and Mickie for the SD Womans championship. Thats a shit cars tho. But I don't mind Styles Shane. I think some are pre judging it. If they give it a stipulation like no DQ. Weapons etc. Shane etc. I mean who cares if it's not a great in ring wrestling match. All the smarks care about that. Give me a gimmick match, with high spots. And I think Styles Shane we'll go down well. Card prob nerds Rock in the card. Taker Reigns is not inspiring stuff. For the title? Who knows. Orton Wyatt for the WWE title I can see. Styles and Cena don't need it imo.

Part time Mania running wild

This may be just his educated guess but I don't think it's too far off what we will end up getting along with AJ/Shane and I still think Cena/Ambrose maybe.

It's just so depressing that they go so far out of their way to not give the fans what they want. I mean if those are really your top 4 matches and AJ gets stuck with Shane after the hear he had, just really hard to get excited.

I must be the only one who has no issues to Styles Shane, its wrestlemania for hecks sake. Was Rock Hogan a great wrestling match? Technically no? But it's one of the great matches in mania history. The card overall sucks. But the matches in theory are not bad. I mean it is all dependant on the rumble. We well get a fairer idea of how the mania card shapes up, after the winner of the rumble is revealed. Until then, its just speculation really.

It would be kinda funny if they do Taker/Reigns and don't actually turn Roman. The hate and vitriol for this match would be unprecedented and rightfully so.

But it's the exact thing they do these days, let's take a lame face who can't get over and put him against the most beloved guy we have and not have a heel in the feud. That should get over. Yeah.

If WWE did Shane/Taker last year and had Shane/Lesnar planned before Goldberg came back. People shouldn't be surprised they're doing Shane/AJ. Vince probably thinks its a big time match and feud for him lol. As for Samoa Joe, I think he should join Smackdown as a face and used in IC ladder match. With Ziggler turning heel Smackdown has too many heels. Plus Joe/Cena feud would feel too much like AJ/Owens. With long time indies guy trying to take down Cena in WWE. They should just have Cena cost Ambrose IC Title at some point. Then do Joe vs Miz vs Corbin vs Ziggler vs Crews vs Kalisto for IC title. Then do Cena/Ambrose one on one match. I hope thats the route they go.
