It could be minute long segments throughout the show, culminating in a 10 minute conclusion at ringside. It could even conclude in a battle royal. Sounds like a dumb idea but that's the Broken Universe, innit.
Main Card:
Universal Title - Lesnar vs. Reigns
WWE Title - Styles vs. Nakamura
Cena vs. Taker or Mysterio
Angle/Rousey vs. HHH/Steph
SD Women's Title - Charlotte vs. Asuka
RAW Women's Title - Alexa vs. Nia vs. Sasha vs. Bayley
SD Tag Titles - Usos vs. New Day vs. Harper/Rowan
IC Title - Miz vs. Balor vs. Rollins
US Title - Orton vs. Roode vs. Mahal
Something involving Shane, Owens, and Zayn
Pre-Show:
RAW Tag Titles - Cesaro/Sheamus vs. Wyatt/Hardy
Cruiserweight Title Tournament Finals
ATGMBR
The only match I'm really looking forward to is Styles vs. Nakamura. Everything else simply isn't that interesting or must see.
IF the Ziggler rumor is true, I reckon he will be Shane's partner for a tag match between Zayn and Owens, IF WWE can resist the urge make KO and Sami FITE 4EVA!!!
I'm not sure what to make of this likely women's battle royal though.
Owens and Zayn can go both routes right now. They can either split or unite once more against Shane.
The Ziggler story is intriguing though. The current storyline is that Ziggler never had an one-on-one match at Wrestlemania. Will he get it this year and if yes, against who?
Right now we have the following angles/matches heading into Wrestlemania:
1) Cena vs Taker
2) Reigns vs Lesnar
3) Styles vs Nakamura
4)Angle/Ronda vs Steph/HHH
5) IC triple threat
6) Sasha vs Bayley
7) Nia vs Alexa
8) Charlotte vs Asuka
9) Bar vs Strowman
10) Usos vs New Day vs BB
11) Owens/Zayn/Shane
12) Ziggler's one-on-one
13) Roode/Orton/Jinder
15) Andre Battle Royal
16) Moolah Battle Royal
17) Cruiserweight Finals
18) Hardy vs Bray
That's right. There's 18 angles currently building up leading to Wrestlemania. Unless WWE has plans to run an 8-hour show, some of these will get unified or be placed into the battle royals.
I'm expecting the final card to look like this:
Main Card
Cena vs Undertaker
Roman vs Brock
Styles vs Nakamura
Angle/Ronda vs HHH/Steph
Charlotte vs Asuka
Strowman vs The Bar
Moolah Battle Royal (including Sasha vs Bayley)
US Championship Ladder match (Owens vs Zayn vs Roode vs Orton vs Ziggler vs Corbin vs Jinder)
Miz vs Rollins vs Balor
Usos vs ND vs BB
Pre-Show
Andre Battle Royal (including Wyatt vs Hardy)
Nia vs Alexa
Cruiserweight Finals
Nia vs Alexa and the SD Tag Team triple threat could be swapped, but right now they are trying to sell the story of the Usos not being on the main card, so I guess they will put them on the main card.
This is the first Wrestlemania since 28 that I have been excited for. This is a stacked show no matter how you look at it. Cena vs Taker, Lesnar vs Reigns 2, Styles vs Nakamura, Asuka vs Charlotte, the mixed tag and it keeps going. That is an unbelievable top half of a card. Again it looks just as stacked as 28 and Wrestlemania hasnâ??t been very fun for me since then.
29 was rematchmania, 30 I get the moment but I was never a Bryan fan or got on that train at all, 31 was meh, 32 was awful, last year besides the Hardyâ??s returning was kind of a dud. This Mania actually feels like a Wrestlemania and I havenâ??t gotten that feeling in a longtime. Iâ??m happy to be genuinely excited for it again.
By the end of SD Live next week, the final card will look something like this:
WrestleMania Main Card
1. WWE Universal Championship - Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns
2. WWE Championship - AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
3. WWE Intercontinental Championship - The Miz vs. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor
4. WWE United States Championship - Randy Orton vs. Bobby Roode vs. Jinder Mahal
5. WWE Raw Women's Championship - Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax
6. WWE SmackDown Women's Championship - Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka
7. WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship - The Usos vs. The New Day vs. The Bludgeon Brothers
8. The 1st Annual WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal
9. Singles Match - The Undertaker vs. John Cena
10. Mixed Tag Team Match - Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey vs. Triple H & Stephanie McMahon
11. Tag Team Match - Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn
WrestleMania Kickoff Show
1. WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament Finals
2. WWE Raw Tag Team Championship - Sheamus & Cesaro vs. Braun Strowman & ?
3. The 4th Annual Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal
There hasn't been much buzz, or really even much of a mention, regarding the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal this year so I'm guessing it'll be on the kickoff show. To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't mind if they placed the women's battle royal there as well, but I don't see that happening considering the controversy generated by naming the match after the Fabulous Moolah and someone would probably raise a stink if it got bumped to the kickoff show.
The Raw Tag Team Championship match feels more like a novelty match right now considering that Strowman won a "tag team" battle royal by himself and as I have this feeling that they're gonna pair Strowman up with someone like Elias, though it'd be cool if Samoa Joe just popped up as his partner. Anyhow, I think it'll be on the kickoff show.
It seems a foregone conclusion that the Cruiserweight Championship match will be on the kickoff show. Pretty much anything concerning the Cruiserweights feels more like kickoff material compared with most everything else, but hopefully that'll all have changed by next year.

I can't see them putting Strowman's match on the Pre-Show. In fact, I wouldn't be at all shocked if both Battle Royale's ended up on the Pre-Show alongside the Cruiserweight match. I'd say the SD tag title match would go there, except one of the major story points is that the Usos have never been on the main card (also those guys deserve to be on the show, but as William Munny said, 'Deserve's got nothing to to with it...').
I don't see how they can really add the Usos to the main card this year, it's stacked, their feud with the New Day is only continuing because it's Mania and the Bludgeon Brothers don't seem like a team you need to get on the card.
I think it's between that match and the US 3-Way with who gets a coveted spot on the pre-show.
Make Usos/BB/New Day a tornado tag and have it as the opening match.
Putting both Battle Royals on the pre-show would be the best way to save some time.
