That could work.

I think Orton beats Rollins in the match of the night. Rollins cashes in (If Reigns or Brock wins) and Rolins and Orton (who never got his rematch when he lost the title at WM 30) have a great rematch at ER with Rollins retaining. Reigns will chase Rollins until Summerslam or so and win the title.

If Brock wins tomorrow will he even be back until Summerslam? Ugh. I Love Brock but I hope there are more dates in this new contract.

The Connor the Crusher segment at the HOF made me bawl. Just touching. Daniel Bryan is a fantastic wrestler but sounds like he is an even better person. Very cool.

From what I've read, Reigns is getting crucified at all the events in California. Should be interesting to see how bad the reaction is to him tonight.

Everyone always says Orton never got his title rematch, but wasn't he in that MITB match for the vacant title that Cena won?

Rikishi didn't even mention Scott Taylor or Brian Lawler in his speech last night. Those guys basically gave him the gimmick he used to get over.

Mania Predictions:

Tag Title Match- Kidd & Cesaro, but it's a toss up with them and the Usos.
Battle Royal- Mizdow
IC Ladder Match- Bryan
Divas Match- Paige/AJ
Orton/Rollins- Orton
Taker/Wyatt- Taker
Cena/Rusev- Cena
HHH/Sting- HHH
Lesnar/Reigns- Lesnar, I really have no idea who will win this. I go with Lesnar because it makes sense to keep him monstrous and unbeatable now that they've re-signed him. Although that would basically piss on 12 months of burying the entire roster to get Reigns over.

Agree with all but bray

Many are thinking rollins cashes, but my prediction is he does on raw tomorrow

They always do crazy shit the raw after mania

He was but the fact that Orton has brought it up makes me think him and Rollins will feud over the title soon. We have never seen Brock/Orton either. Maybe Brock v Orton V Rollins for the title at Money in the Bank?

I will try and find the link but in the rasslin podcast a buddy and I use to do we got an interview with Brian like a week after Jerry's heart attack as well as Rikishi. Needless to say that episode was our most listened to. Brian was a very nice guy.

Mania predictions

Tag Title Match- Kidd & Cesaro retain
Battle Royal- Ryback (Final 4 Ryback, Axel, Miz and Mizdow who eliminates Miz toward the end)
IC Ladder Match- Bryan (this could be really fun)
Divas Match- Paige/AJ (I hope they make the stip before the match the title is on the line)
Orton/Rollins- Orton (in the MOTN)
Taker/Wyatt- Taker
Cena/Rusev- Cena
HHH/Sting- Sting
Lesnar/Reigns- Lesnar (Rollins cashes in to end show)

Sami Zayn debuts tomorrow. Please!

Watching Rock/Austin from WM17. Classic match one of the best ever.

Thinking I'll watch Angle/Brock at WM19 next. Dat botched shooting star by Brock. Seriously lucky he is not in a wheel chair after this.

If he had hit that move that would have made that one of the greatest matches of all time.

It was still a **** or so match regardless. Their Summerslam match was better and I loooooooved their iron man match on SD. Brock with a fantastic heel performance. Those two had amazing chemistry.

Here is Brock hitting it from about the same distance when he was part of the Minnesota stretching crew with Shelton Benjamin. Excuse me while I mark out!

Brock was such an incredible athlete in his prime. I seriously think if he stuck at it he could have played in the NFL. Even if only as a wedge buster.

BTW Lana looks incredible on the preshow. Apparently Rusev is hitting that. Good for that fella!

The real winner here is Scott Hall, since I thought he was dead after Road Dogg back-body dropped him.

Best way to end it: Lesnar still looks strong, sets up an actual championship feud for when Lesnar's away.

i will just say that i have mad respect for the beating Reigns just took and kept coming back, that friggin clothsline to the outside was brutal, i thought for sure he was out after that

Ending was incredible.. how they incorporated him into the match instead of having him beat a tired champion afterwards and then literally sprinting out with the title

It was a perfect way to get the belt off Brock while keeping both Brock and Reigns strong.
