    Cena vs. Roman Reigns will be a Mania main event in the next few years. No hiding Superman vs. Super Boy

    Kimbo can't even go a full 5 mins in MMA, what makes you all think he will go if he reaches a good level and has to wrestle for 10-15 mins? Dude would be calling time out outside the ring almost every single time taking breathers.

    That's cuz mma trainers can be ? ... they just there for a check... they can give a ? less on the shape he's in

    Wrestling is different, not only after they tougher on new talent they're even tougher on guys like kimbo who come there with some celebrity. There's no way he ever makes TV unless they make damn well sure he's ready for TV.... Wwe would have pushed him to death like a million times before he was on even smack down

    As noted here, Sami Zayn is reportedly scheduled for WrestleMania 32. It is expected that will represent his main roster call up, although, like others before him, he may stick around in NXT for a while before moving up for good.
    Dave Meltzer is reporting the multi-person match at WrestleMania is likely going to be for Kevin Owens' Intercontinental title and look a lot like last year's ladder match with a lot of good workers. Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, and, of course, Owens, are all apparently penciled in for it already.

    Why is it that WWE feel the need to have the same undercard championship match two years in a row? I mean last year's ladder match was cool but now there just trying to stuff people on the card for WrestleMania payday. I would rather them do a regular one-on-one match for the IC title preferably Owens/Styles but that doesn't seem like it going to happen as I see them going long term with the Jericho/Styles program.

    Reddit user falconarrow, the same person that broke the story about a big surprise on RAW which ended up being Shane McMahon, responded to a fan about the new Y2AJ t-shirt:

    I am really confused on why they have a shirt - especially considering they are facing each other at mania.

    Take this for what you will but falconarrow has leaked information in the past that turned out to be true. A lot of people were surprised when WWE released a Y2AJ t-shirt since the AJ Styles/Chris Jericho pairing wasn't expected to be a long-term thing.

    Regarding the Wrestlemania card, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com reports that New Day vs. League of Nations in some form is currently scheduled. It could end up being either a tag match or a six-man match. New Day vs. AJ Styles and Chris Jericho is not currently scheduled for Wrestlemania.

    A multi-person match is rumored to be taking place, possibly for Kevin Owens’ IC Title. The idea is to do something similar to last year’s ladder match.

    There is also scheduled to be another singles match with two big names with an angle being shot in the next week or so.

    Besides that, there are also plans for a 2nd women’s match and the Andre The Giant battle royal for the rest of the roster that doesn’t have a spot on the card.

    Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com reports that the original plan for the WWE Roadblock Network special was for Triple H to face Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar with HHH pinning Ambrose to win. There’s speculation that WWE purposely wants to book Ambrose as the ultimate underdog similar to Daniel Bryan, making it so the fans will cheer for him even more. There are no plans to turn Ambrose at this time even though the company needs a strong top heel to feud with Roman Reigns after Wrestlemania.

    Lesnar vs. Bray Wyatt, which was originally scheduled for Wrestlemania, is currently planned for the Roadblock event.

    Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com reports that the current rule for the creative team is that if there is a major cultural event such as the Super Bowl or Grammy Awards, something related to the event must be written into the opening promo on the edition of RAW following the event.

    Chris Jericho currently has no Fozzy touring dates ahead so it’s possible he will continue working in WWE for the foreseeable future.

    WWE piped in fake boos for Triple H’s Smackdown promo on 2/25 so there aren’t currently plans to tease a face turn. Roman Reigns is still scheduled to win the WWE WHC at Wrestlemania and be the Wrestlemania headliner for 2017 and 2018.
