It's only a bit over a week away now. What do you see happening?

My first thought is probably going to be answered on Monday Night RAW and that is "Will Cena get a match at WM34?". I think he will, but it won't be against Undertaker, it'll be against Kane. After the match they had last Monday, I think a cage match would be awesome for Kane/Cena at WM34. As for the titles, I don't see any of them changing hands (as usual for the past year or so in PPV's). But I think the best shot is The Bar losing the Tag Titles to Braun Stroman and The Miz losing the IC Title to Rollins or Balor. I think Aksuka gets her 1st loss in the WWE and both Women's Titles stay where they are now. I kinda hope not though b/c Charlotte and Alexa have held the titles for way too long now. I also hope that Owens and Zayn get a well-deserved pummeling from anybody!

I can't wait to see the Battle Royals though. They should be pretty great and you know WWE will throw some curve-ball characters in there to make it more interesting.

As for Triple-H/Stephanie vs. Angle/Rousey: that should be a fun show, but I just know that the bosses find a cheap way to win the match. As long as it's entertaining and not obvious cheating, I'll be happy to watch it.

I'm ready for WM34 now, but what do you think will happen?!

With Cena it goes one of 2 ways. Either he takes on Kane and Undertaker interferes in the match or tomorrow lights go out and come on and Undertaker chokeslam Cena. I hope Strowmans partner ends up being Big Cass, they win. Both women keep titles. DB and Shane lose, too obvious so they stay. Balor wins. HHH and Steph win, cheat as usual. Should be good!

I don’t watch anymore, but I still usually follow what happens looking at results on Wikipedia.  

Doesn’t really matter anymore I guess but in my opinion, if Cena and Undertaker face off, it will be a few years too late.  I have always thought that Undertaker’s streak should have been broken by John Cena.  He would have cheated to win, and then proceeded to beat Undertaker into a bloody mess after the match.

It would have been the greatest heel turn since Hogan in 1996.  

I'm still convinced it will be Cena vs Biker taker.  Undertaker retired at last wrestlemania, but Biker taker didn't?  Just my thoughts.  Miz will retain, as I see Rollins and Balor getting in the middle of the Universal Title picture with Reigns (who unfortunatley will beat Lesner).  I agree that Charlotte wins, but I see Nia Jax walking away as champion (you get a lot of favors when your related to the Rock).  Those battle royals I don't get.  Yeah it allows them to put more wrestlers on the card, but I just don't see the point beyond that.  Great ideas, I think, on getting Daniel Bryan worked back in as well as Rousey.  Let Triple H and Kurt Angle carry the match and allow Rousey a few key spots here and there.  

Should be a good one.  

I don't think Asuka loses, I just don't see it happening.  If she does go to Smackdown after Mania she has new wrestlers she can beat and keep her streak alive (besides her facing them in NXT).  I think it will build up to Asuka vs. Rousey maybe at Summerslam or even next years Mania, and then she might lose, but I don't think they end it anytime soon.

As for Cena, I think we'll find out Monday.  If the lights don't go out then it will likely be Cena vs. Kane.  Who knows, maybe Cena will team up with Braun and take the titles from The Bar.  Then after the match Braun destroys Cena building a feud over who gets the tag team titles.  Though I just have a feeling if Braun needs a partner Bobby Lashley shows up.

As for the other matches, I don't have a lot of interest.  I just can't get into this years show, but once I get WWE Network again I'll check it out then.  I hope Miz keeps his title, and I presume Angle and Rousey will win.  Reigns will win, and I'm not sure the other matches, I don't care about the battle royals.  I am happy Rusev was added to the one title match but don't see him winning.

I would LOVE to see Bobby Lashley return to WWE! He was one of my favorites when he first showed up. Then he failed the drug test and WWE dumped him. I saw him quite a bit on TNA after that but I didn't like how they were using him, so I stopped watching again.

Cena teaming up with Stroman would be awesome too. They would be a hard team to beat. I don't think any current tag team would be able to take them out in the ring. I wouldn't mind seeing Big Cass return to be Braun's partner either. I liked Cass a lot until he turned on Enzo. Then he got hurt and there's been no mention of him since then.

Personally, I could see all the titles changing. Miz could retain setting up a heel Balor run against Rollins - which I believe was the plan for Ambrose before he got injured. The heel side on Raw is lacking, Joe should be back the night after Mania, who knows what they will do with Lashley, Bray is MIA at the moment.

Asuka shouldn't lose, but is she that over? I think she's great, but I could see Vince saying "Enough of this crap." and ending the streak. They shouldn't, but I wouldn't be shocked.

Cena/Undertaker has to be a lock, for them to be bringing it up this much, not for it to happen would be bad for business, since its been rumored for months now. Cena taking on Kane at Mania doesn't make much sense, especially since he beat him clean as a sheet last week on Raw.

The Rousey match. Meh. She should win the match for the team, She's looked ok in what few spots she has done and her time in there with an other relatively untrained wrestler should be short. Que up Steph's yearly bump.

Braun's partner? Booyaka-Booyaka.

Most fascinating match is Cedric and Ali for the Cruiserweight. With the Greatest Royal Rumble taking place at the end of the month, I could see Ali walking in champion or even winning it there. Hot shotting a title. Now that I think about, maybe I don't care about it that much.

I like setting checklists of places to visit for myself (i.e. CA 21 missions, 30 mlb ballparks, etc.). So I want to do Wrestlemania, Summer Slam, Survivor Series, and Royal Rumble.

Would it be worth it to spend $500 flight, $500 ticket, $200 hotel for Wrestlemania 34 from Los Angeles? Tax money really but need others' opinions.

I'm a HHH and Undertaker fan.

If you haven't already locked in those prices, they are probably already higher. As a Triple-H and Undertaker fan, this could be your last chance to see both live and in-ring (especially at WM). If you have the money and are willing to spend it on that, I say go for it! I'd do it if I had an extra $1500 to spend. Don't forget that you'll spend more money at the arena and for food and such while you are there.

As for a "checklist of places to visit", WWE doesn't qualify for those words. ;) Those are "events to see live" b/c the place changes nearly every year. It's a good list though! Only thing I would change for myself would be adding the Elimination Chamber instead of either Survivor Series or Summer Slam. It would depend on what the card was looking like for the first one vs. what might happen at the second one for me.

I doubt I ever go to a major PPV but if I had a main 4, it would be Mania, Summerslam, Rumble, and either Money in the Bank or Elimination Chamber.  Unless Survivor Series went back to a card full of tradition 5 on 5 matches, then maybe I'd go.  If I went to those events though I would make sure I'd go to the NXT shows too.  If I ever made it to Mania, I'd go to as many indie shows that week I could.

ShoTime, I forgot all about the cruiserweight match.  It could be match of the night.  As for Rey being the mystery partner, I thought of that, but I figured if he was even slightly injured they wouldn't use him.
