Viva Wrestlemania! WrestleMania 41 heads to Las Vegas 4/19/25 & 4/20/25 thread

There's still 10 days until Mania.. Yes, the ticket sales have been slow for a minute and I place the blame of that first on pricing out fans who can't afford the shyt and secondly on some of the Mania build..

But there will be a strong push in the final days and they might even drop prices in some sections. It's premature to say anything yet

 

[Rayzah]

I heard they already lowered the prices on the upper level. So those numbers will go up by next weekend

 

[Easy-E]

Video starts a minute in and they speak about it for ten minutes.

I called this take months back. It’s the logical choice.

I watch these guys, so, they cool.

But, people are like scared to talk about bad Rhea is booked relative to her crowd reaction.

People talk about women's wrestling, nobody get get over with her being a face, acting like a heel, beating heels and babyfaces.

People are gonna always cheer her. And boo or ignore the person against her.

She shouldn't have been in the title picture ALL LAST YEAR.

Of course she shouldn't be left off Mania.

I honestly don’t give two shyts for her like that but the bytch is over like rover and clearly does big business for them.

I unfortunately don’t blame them for shoehorning her even though she’s been annoying for the past year now.

And like the guys said in the video, if they make Bianca a Rock to Rhea’s Austin, that’ll be money making for the division.

It can also elevate Bianca even more tbh

This is also the worst the economy has been since 2008-9 and that has to do with it too I'm sure. Non essential spending is gonna be down this year for most people

My point is; I 1,000,000% agree.

If you knew she was gonna be in a title match at Mania, why did you have her chasing the title for six months and aburptly end it at Jan 6 to put her over and then have her lose it less than a month later?

For one, the two actual injuries during the Liv feud dragged it even further. Feud definitely wouldn’t have lasted six months if she never got injured.

And as to why she lost the title so soon, one I think HHH wanted to reward IO for her great work during the year and two he wanted to tell the story of how IO has had Rhea’s number hence why she lost before Mania.

I think if they just built a good story around Bianca and Rhea it'd be fine but Iyo had a great year and then it felt like they got cold feet on doing the actual one vs. one thing. Rhea has been booked badly, shoehorned into a match where Iyo is the champion and Bianca won the title shot. So that's where a lot of this is coming from. If they just did a more straightforward build that made sense it'd probably be received a lot better

I think they want to straightforward it when one is an actual heel and the other is a face as opposed to both being faces atm.

Like if Bianca starts to gradually build a heel turn come Mania with a conniving cheap title win, then they’ll build the actual one on one feud with her and Rhea.

My only issue with that is Bianca is a natural babyface and it's difficult to find natural babyfaces like her.

The other thing is WWE (and wrestling in general) has done successful face vs. face feuds in the past.. it can be done. But we'll see where it goes, I think it'll be a great triple threat match regardless..

She came back in July and Liv didn't need a five month transitional reign.

Meanwhile, they had to Roman Reigns her and give the women a mid card belt because no stories without her.

• July
• June
• Aug (Summerslam)
• Sep
• Oct
• Nov
• Dec
• Jan 6th

That shyt should've atleast been paused at Summerslam and picked up at Royal Rumble season. All they did was chase each other between Sep and Dec.

Bianca is a natural babyface but we‘ve seen her heel work on NXT. To be fair, I would welcome back that persona. She might garner some new fans with that character work.

Not disagreeing with that. Definitely should have.

And Liv benefitted from her reign truth be told.

Her character work now has been fantastic since that run.

I ordered that damn rock, cena and Travis Scott shirt because I was going to wear at the show. And that shyt won’t arrive until early may. It’s been over a month. I went ahead and canceled it. It don’t take that long to make a t shirt

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I think Bianca/Iyo/Rhea might end up being the best match on the whole event. But Cena/Cody is gonna have a wild atmosphere
