No angle or explanation seemingly. Just "Goldberg vs Braun Strowman" and that's it.

Yep

Hard to knw the outcome but think Bruan will win it

Winning ur first world title at wrestlemania in an empty arena. Grim

Can't do much in fairness when they've had to tape everything.

Look it's not ideal but I'm looking forward to Mania.

Serious starvation from any kind of sport recently so it will be nice to have... something this weekend.

Well Reigns got his match by saying ‘I’m next’ with no angle or story needed there. This is simply how we do feuds for the uni resale title seemingly.

Also reports they’ve filmed multiple endings to most matches so that finishes couldn’t leak!

Who's ready for the disaster show tonight.
I can't even see myself watching the highlights.

We’ve a group who get together each year to watch it, gonna do it over video tonight and tomorrow .

Is it gonna be Mania as we know it? Of course not, but at least amongst us there’s genuine excitement for it. Maybe it’s to see just how much they manage to f this up, maybe it’s gluttons for punishment, but on paper it’s an interesting enough card.

It’s going to be an absolute sh** show, but I think that’s the intriguing bit!

I've barely watched any wrestling since the lockdowns happened, but I'm eager for Mania. I think that while it will be a disaster if you were watching Mania for "the spectacle", it has potential to actually be special in other ways.

If they've had a week or two to edit and spin narratives, it SHOULD be one of the tightest shows in terms of character and story we've ever had. Too often, Mania relies on a moment that pops the crowd but then has no long (or short) term story development. With no crowd, those big dramatic moments will need way more polish.

Any guesses as to the main events?
Both Raw title matches could be but then wouldn't be right to have Raw close out both nights.
The Smackdown women's title match doesn't seem main event to me.
Having the Universal title match main event would be a joke considering no buildup or anything to it.
Cena main eventing after saying how he wasn't going to take part would be a bad idea as well.
Can't see them having the NXT title in the main event though that would be a good boost.

Though I guess with no fans there it doesn't really matter.

Cant see it not being the two raw matches really, at least logically.

But I don’t see Fox being very happy with that.


Could well see Goldberg closing tonight

So how much is it from Sky? Can you pay for 1 night or do you have to pay for two?

Anybody know which matches are on tonight?

Sky sports don't have WWE anymore. Bt sports do it. I assume it's the same but why anyone would pay for PPV in the uk and Ireland I'll never know.

Oh yeah I forgot BT have it, I have BT through Sky anyway so I presume I still go through Sky. I’ll look it up, I’d rather pay for the good quality that have it buffering in and out..

The only PPV I would watch is Wrestlemania so no point getting the network. That’s why I pay for it. Cheers anyway

Looking forward to the madness of tonight and tomorrow. I reckon they will surprise us all and put on a decent show.

Get your free trial on the network, won’t cost you a penny and it’s quite good quality usually

How is paying for mania a first ? Isn't it just parts of it that are free ? The WWE and WCW TVs aren't free as far as I know. Also those of us who have had since launch are getting a break here with the Euro to dollar exchange rate.

One each night or both tonight ? Liv Morgan could shine in this match.

It’s missing a lot of matches

That was the rumour a week ago but was since said to be fake
