> As noted, Roman Reigns vs. The Undertaker is the current plan for one of the WrestleMania 33 main events.
> Despite the fact that Reigns will likely be booed out of the Camping World Stadium, Vince McMahon has reportedly wanted to do this match for some time. WrestleMania 33 may be the last big chance to do the match due to Taker's health.
Reigns eliminated Taker in this year's Royal Rumble match to set up their WrestleMania beef but The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that there is the idea of a generational passing of the torch being discussed, which may be hard to pull off with the expected crowd reaction to Reigns. That could indicate an official heel run for Reigns but The Observer notes that WWE's long-term goal is still for Reigns to be the face of the company.
> Regarding Taker's health, we noted before that he was said to be really hurting with hip pain after Sunday's Royal Rumble main event. Taker had hip surgery last fall but still needs a hip replacement surgery, which he's been putting off until his in-ring career is over.
If I am Roman Reigns I don't want to get the torch from a guy who never drew dimes and Lebron James out from the locker room.

Not gonna lie pretty new to wrestling only been watching almost 2 years. Does someone always get hurt before mania where they have to change plans that were set?
Where were you in 2015? Everyone worth noting was injured at that time that they changed the entire card and HHH had to main event while they forced Roman to suffer into two meaningless reigns just so he could get his overdue Wrestlemania moment.
If a wrestler is injured, especially a top guy like Jasethy they obviously change plans. Obviously HHH will feud with someone else until Jasethy returns.

Injuries are common in wrestling, but the last 3 years or so have especially noteworthy.
It's WWE's own fault. They push too hard, and work their talent way too often, and it's only gotten worse in recent years.
If you're a top name full time WWE wrestler, you're wrestling about 5 times a week on average. There's TV, then there's PPVs, then there's house shows, then foreign tours, then special events, etc.
On top of all that the WWE will make you work even when you're hurt. Anything they think is not serious is something you can work with. CM Punk famously ranted about having to wrestle with a staph infection because of negligent WWE doctors (lawsuit pending).

Batista got injured in 2006 before Wrestlemania 22 so they gave the title to Kurt Angle.
Triple H got injured in 2007 before Wrestlemania 23.
John Cena got injured in 2016 before Wrestlemania 32 so they had Undertaker fight Shane McMahon.
What does /asp/ think about What Clickbait Pro Wrestling?
Blampied is the most annoying fuck
Pacitti looks like he wants to kill himself
Jack the Jobber is worthless
King Ross is literally cancer
Simon Miller is good
They piggybacked off of HHH after he invented British wrestling.

Asuka is such a fucking charisma vacuum retard. She somehow has even less charisma now than when she was in nipland. You can see Ember visibly cringing and constantly trying to cover for her buddy. You can tell they're good bros and Ember knows how much of a charisma vacuum Asuka is whenever she opens her mouth
>>2228630
Fuck you
>>2228630
Your gimmick sucks bro
Lynch/Nikki/Naomi vs. Bliss/Mickie/Nattie 2.75
Gallows and Anderson vs. Cesaro and Sheamus 3
Nia Jax vs. Sasha Banks 1
Charlotte vs. Bayley 3.25
Kevin Owens vs. Roman Reigns 4.5
Neville vs. Rich Swann 3.5
John Cena vs. AJ Styles 4.75 (First WWE 4.75 since Lesnar/Cena/Rollins)
Dave said for Cena/Styles he thought about either 4.75 or 5, but when he thinks about it then it's by default not a 5 for him.
Randy Orton wins Royal Rumble 3.75
Takeover: San Antonio
Eric Young vs. Tye Dillinger 3
Roderick Strong vs. Andrade Almas 3
AOP vs. DIY 3.5
Asuka vs. Nikki Cross vs. Billie Kay vs. Peyton Royce 2.25
Bobby Roode vs. Shinsuke Nakamura 4.25
Thank you, now I know I don't need to watch it.

>Ajetty and John Cenetty can't even come within 1 star of the GOAT

>John Cena vs. AJ Styles 4.75 (First WWE 4.75 since Lesnar/Cena/Rollins)
Cena no-selling that second Styles Clash and the match just sorta ending makes this a 4.
It finally happened.
Holy shit Roode is such a manlet
So Nakamura is finished?
>>2228466
No. He is selling the knee

Probably because the writers would never dare script his from page to page end.
He gets to say whatever he wants and isn't given some piece of shit script written by a soap opera reject.
I don't know shit about hip replacements or surgery for that matter, i am just a dumb 19 year old. But couldnt he have done that full hip replacement surgery when Brock beat him and then skip 31 and return for Battleground? Or hell, wouldn't a year between Manias be enough? Will he even be able to wrestle with a new hip or is that operation/surgery a definitive end for his career?
a year is way more time than needed
6 weeks and you'll be walking unassisted then another 6-8 for full motions
>>2227923
you dont get a new hip so you can fuck it up again
>>2227932
It is if you're 52 years old

What in the fuck were they thinking? Why didn't they sign Goldberg back then when they really needed starpower?
2011 in general was complete shit outside a few bright spots.
And even most of those got snuffed out quick.
They signed Kevin Nash who ended the streak therefore being better in every way
they spent their budget on the rock
YES SIR WE PROMISED YOU A GREAT MAIN EVENT HERE TONIGHT

This isn't about Cena vs. Orton
It's all been leading to Based Bray finally getting the world title he's deserved for years now
Bray going into Mania as the champion is something I'm legitimately really excited for.
>>2227704
>yfw Based Bray wins a title in the main event of Mania
Will he go over Randy though?
Rollins? Balor? Joe? Owens? Jericho? Miz? I can't decide.

AJ Styles fans are the worst. Most overrated fag in pro wrestling history
Was this promo a mistake?
Gallows looks pretty good with hair, why did he shave it?
>>2227620
great promo, mostly thanks to Punk.

What does get a clue mean?
