For Mania, of course... even though it's a couple of months away, and not to sound too harsh, but with no HBK or Batista around, which is a big chunk of the Mania buyrate out the window, Taker maybe facing Barrett (doesn't sound as attractive as HBK/Taker), Cena v. Punk/Cena v. Miz, whatever it may be, Edge's stock has dropped alot etc. Orton was never that big of a draw, only real upside is HHH will probably be back for it, as would Y2J (although he's not the biggest draw in the world either). Which are the rumoured matches, and they couldn't really do anything else, sept for maybe Taker/Cena, as their talent pool isn't as good as last years.
So basically would WWE need to bring in some big A list celeb to brighten things up, like they have done in the past and make it work, namely Tyson, Trump, Mayweather, the Mania 26 card was stacked, looked great on paper, and the buyrate dropped, and dropped alot from 23 & 24. W/ the current climate & PPV buys going down in general as it is anyway.
Therefore to make it a bigger buyrate than last years ...
