Wrestlemania!

It's Wrestlemania night tonight! In four hours the annual show of shows will start. Although after fridays NXT Takeover Dallas they're going to be hard-pushed to beat the show NXT put on. To be honest there are only a few matches I'm looking forward too unfortunately.

AJ Styles vs Chris Jericho: These two are both great wrestlers, and they should be able to put on another great match. Hopefully this one will be even better now that they've had a lot of practice against each other. Also since their rivalry has been taken to a greater level with Jericho the clear heel, this match will hopefully be more brutal than before.

Dean Ambrose vs Brock Lesnar: Hopefully the weapons in this match will be the equilizer that Ambrose needs to have a chance against Brock. I'm really hoping they give Ambrose the win. A win over Brock, even if it can be explained by using a lot of otherwise illegal tools, would be great for Ambrose, who has been on a severe losing streak when it comes to major matches. Whereas Brock doesn't need to be built up any more, and a win over Ambrose wouldn't build him up at all. Really hoping they don't give Ambrose the very predictable "he lost but still showed that he's really tough" treatment. He's been doing that for years.

Shane vs The Undertaker: This is guarantied to be a brutal match. I'm more interested in seeing what surprises we might witness, like any interferes. To give Shane the clean win is a clear slap in the face to all the great wrestlers (which Shane is not) who lost to him. But also if Shane doesn't win then this whole Shane being back to wrest control of Raw from the Authority storyline is pointless.

The New Day are great but they're against some boring opponents unfortunately. League of Nations is failure. Kalisto vs Ryback. Need I say more? One half of Lucha Dragons who WWE are too afraid to push properly as a singles wrestler yet somehow has the US title. Bring back the US open challenge and give Kalisto a chance with it! Divas title match. These three were great in NXT, but even coming up to WWE haven't really garnered much interest in the Divas division, although it IS a great improvement from before. This should really be an amazing match anyway though, that will hopefully earn women's wrestling the respect it deserves. Although what will really decide it is if they can draw the crowd into investing in the match. The intercontinental title ladder match. Seems like this is becoming a tradition now. It was an amazing match last year, but feels a little forced this year. Owens vs Zayn in a singles bout would have been better. But I guess they're saving that... until... after?... Wrestlemania? Whatever. Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale. Speaks for itself. It'll only be good if theres a surprise somebody interesting in it. Then there's the Total Di..... you know what? Not even worth mentioning that match.

Hopefully the event will be full of surprises and The Rock to keep us entertained in between the exciting matches.
