Coming to you from JerryLand!!! in or around Dallas, Texas. It happens on April 3, 2016.

The WWE is trying to break the indoor attendance record. The all-time record is 108,713 set by the 2010 NBA All Star Game.



I'm not much for doing an entire fantasy booking of the feuds and how we get to the matches so I'll just make out a card. If you want to go over how you'd like to see feuds develop, go for it.

A couple of things I'd like to get out of the way before this starts. We will be assuming that HBK and Stone Cold will not be wrestling at the event. Austin has long held that he has wrestled his last match. HBK has said the same and also said in an interview a week or two ago he was approached to do WM 32 and turned it down. If you want to do a card with them participating, please do two separate cards.

Part timers assumed to be working are the usual: Brock, Rock, Undertaker, Sting, HHH (if you count him as part time.

Feel free to bring up any NXT roster members as you'd like. Tbh, I can't even imagine any of the big 5 being left off the card but w/e.

"Stone Cold" and HBK co-host the event.

WWE Championship:
Seth Rollins (winner of The Royal Rumble) vs. Brock Lesnar (c)

Female in the corner match:
HHH w/Stephanie McMahon vs. The Rock w/Ronda Rousey

Double retirement match:
The Undertaker vs. Sting

United States Championship:
John Cena vs Roman Reigns

Intercontinental Championship:
Bray Wyatt(c) vs Daniel Bryan

The War that never dies: Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens

Divas match

Finn Balor vs Dean Ambrose

Preshow:
Standard Tag Title match
Andre the Giant Memorial Game of Hopscotch

Something tells me we'll somehow get a Shield triple threat. I'm not sure what can be done with the World title match or Brock. Brock shouldn't face Cena or Reigns again. He's going to face Rollins at SummerSlam so that shouldn't happen...but, I'd bet lots of money that somebody's costing Lesnar the title at SS which sets up a one or two match feud (Survivor Series and something else) which leads to Brock pinning a champion not named Seth Rollins at the Rumble. Maybe Brock wins the Rumble but I seriously doubt that.

IC match - Wyatt pins Bryan clean, again. Bryan says, "I know I can beat you. Let's do it on the grandest stage, etc.". Bryan gets that monkey off his back.

Thinking of doing another card where The Shield faces off in the main event but 1) I want to get this thread started and 2) That just isn't happening.

I always meant to comment on this, but it got put on the back burner. I really like what you did here, but I would like to tweak it a little. First Ill start with the preshow:

Ill put the battle royal here and will have Big Show go over again assuming he is still an active wrestler. I know people will roll their eyes and think Im high for suggesting it, but lets be honest, this match is nothing but a way for management to get a lot of guys a WM payday. So why not try and make it actually mean something and possibly launch a star in the process. If you have Big Show win again at 32 and then again at 33, you can set up the match at 34 to be the launching point for some newcomer who eliminates Show to win the battle royal. Of course that would require there to be some long term thinking from creative, but who knows.

The other preshow match I would either put a singles match or the Divas match. I think with the sudden growth of the tag division we can move it up to the main show

For the main show, instead of HHH vs Rock with the females in the corner, I like a Rousey vs either Steph or a monster female wrestler. If you have it be Steph then you are going to need stipulations to even the playing field. You would need HHH to be guest referee and others sprinkled in to favor Steph to make it legit.

I know you said that you wanted HBK and Austin to co host, but I think there is a 50/50 chance or maybe a little lower of getting Austin to wrestle. So I would have HBK be the host and I would pony up the dollars and have him against the Rock one last time. There is 100k seats to sell and you need to pull out all the stops to do it.

I personally think the Taker/Sting match has sailed, but I guess its still a possibility.

I like your title matches, but I would do them a bit differently. First I would have Rollins still the champ and face Brock who would win the Rumble match. I think you have Rollins escape the return match at SS or whichever PPV Brock comes back at, and then have them meet up again here where Brock would go over.

The US Championship would be the same match, except Reigns would be the champ because he beats Cena at SS. Cena then goes away from TV for a couple months or so after SS and this would be the return.

If Daniel Bryan can return to wrestling, this is where I would have him win back his IC title against whoever is the champ.. You have Wyatt which is fine, but this is where Bryan comes back with a whole new style that will protect him better from injury.

What do you think?

Looks like I'll have to tweak that Bray vs Bryan match at the least . Haven't read yours yet, will post sooooon.

I'm surprised I didn't put it in my OP here but I've thought about the 3rd annual battle royal and would have Big Show go over again.

I'd put a random singles match in the preshow as well. I'd save Divas for the main card because they gotta get at least those 5 minutes on the main show.

I think HHH/Rock needs to happen instead of any kind of woman's interaction. People have clamored for this for years because they were 2/4 of the AE's biggest names (some put Mick 3rd), yet never faced each other in a singles match at WrestleMania. I don't think the match would be very good because Rock seems to have lost everything he had, yet I'd rather see that than anything involving Rousey it's the spectacle. Nobody wants to see Steph/Rousey interact and if they do, it's likely that they're UFC fans first. Also, don't know if you've heard but Dana White isn't letting Ronda do anymore WWE appearances unless things radically changed in the last month.

If you listen to Austin, he's said for years now that he's wrestled his last match. I think HBK has a better chance of wrestling than Austin. Much rather see Austin put Owens over than anybody else. Huge fan of Austin and Rock but that WM 19 match was billed as the last between them at WM and I'd like to keep it that way.

I think Sting/Taker has sailed to but in my predictions, I just see it happening. I'd rather they both just stay away but if Taker wrestles next year, it's likely to be vs Sting.

Lots of people saw Brock's reign as a total flop so I highly doubt they ever give him the belt again. I should point out at this point that my card wasn't really fantasy booking as much as it was predicting the card. With fantasy booking, I have Brock win Rumble and then crush whoever has the belt with 9999 suplexes.

I like the idea with the US belt if we have Cena go against all odds on the way to getting his rematch....

I think you need more matches as you only have 5

I'm going to have to update mine as well since Owens seems to be getting a push to the moon and Bryan is probably done.

I know i need more matches, I forgot to write in my post that the other matches would depend on who and what is hot. I really didnt want to type up Sheamus v Neville or Barrett v Ziggler, or something to that effect.

While I have also heard Austin say he wrestled his last match, both Jim Ross and Wade Keller who are reasonably close with Austin have said that with the proper time and the correct amount of money he would wrestle one last match. With WM in Dallas I think Austin/Rock easily sells another 10k tickets. I would also think having Taker there is a no brainer too.

After I posted I thought about it, and wouldnt put the title on Lesnar either. I dont think it was a total flop, but I was definitely underwhelmed with him as champ. I have no issues with the champ not wrestling every PPV or being at all the RAWs, but only 3 matches in 9 months is a bit ridiculous. I also have an idea for what WWE can do after WM which having Lesnar being champ wouldnt work either, but that is a post for another thread

Well based on the SummerSlam main event, I think we know what's main eventing WM 32 now (or at least what the title match will be):



This is where Reigns will turn into this:

Nothing to do with booking but this is hilarious:

I dont think Cena wins at SS but who knows. I think if they wanted to go with Reigns at WM 32, this would be a way to finally get him fully over with the fans, because they would boo the crap out of Cena during this match. I did think Cena would be a good transtional champ if he won it at the RR, but I guess that is out the window.

Well since Limp Biskit turned them down, I wonder if they will move on to a band more relevant today like Smashmouth

I feel like people are ready to cheer Reigns now, particularly after the selling he did at WM31.

Bork/Rollins sounds pretty boring to me.

Rollins/Reigns or Rollins/Ambrose or Rollins/Reigns/Ambrose seem like the best headliners.

Add in:
Titus/Hogan
HHH/Rock (f the haters I'm marking out bros)
Banks/Charlotte or Banks/Lynch (whichever can get over)

And Zayn and Owens vs established stars.

Hell if D-Bry is close to retirement, Owens ending his career at Mania could be awesome.

Wyatt/Zayn could be a fun ride too.

This could actually be a really good storyline to a Brock/Owens ER match.

Never thought I would ever say this in my life but props to Fred Durst(still feels wrong) for being a fan of NJPW.

I wouldn't be surprised if this happens for some reason...........

Sting beats Rollins for the belt at NoC
Taker beats Sting at RR for belt
Brock wins Rumble and beats Taker to finally retire him at WM 32

That sounds like it would be AWESOME!!!!!*

I'm almost just kind of intrigued about what they're going to do with The Rock but if it has something to do with HHH (and it will), I'm not interested.

Will the US title come back before and for WM 32? Don't care that much. Having somebody take the world title off Seth and then getting a Shield triple thread for the belt would be nice (I don't care to see this match main event WM for the world title)
Will Bryan even be on the WM 32 card? I don't want to live in a world where a top 5 wrestler in the world isn't at WM
How about Sami Zayn? Unlikely
Will the Divas "revolution" be over by WM? Unlikely since there's seemingly no end game for this "angle".

Wrestlemania isn't shaping up to be good:
Main event: Rock vs HHH somehow
The rest isn't super predictable but it's hard to be interested in it:
Taker vs Sting or Taker vs Brock (I'd bet money on vs Brock)
Seth vs somebody like Sheamus
What's Cena going to do? Face Orton? Maybe Sheamus?
Dudleys vs New Day (though this will have been done to death by then)
Hopefully Sasha gets a singles match

1st match: Seth is injured
2nd match: Rock isn't cleared to wrestle
3rd match: Sting is injured
4th match: John Cena is injured
5th match: Bryan is being held down in favor of Roman
6th match: possible and hopefully happens if Brock vs. Owens doesn't

Hilarious.


Well that was a good prediction on the latter part.

That is pretty funny because for around a year it has been reported that this is the one year that Vince actually had a lot of matches planned in advance for Mania (six, to be specific). Now he probably feels very vindicated about not planning in advance because all the injuries likely ruined the plans anyway.

I'll legit be skipping Wrestlemania if the card is anything like this.

I'm going through the roster trying to make a card that isn't **** and I'm struggling. Think there's no singles match for the title thats any good and you need to jump into a triple threat and maybe even a fatal four way to hide problems from all involved.

Same. They're in real trouble here. So many injuries, and who knows if any more will occur in the next 3 months.

At least you know that they'll build their matches really well.

If they are telling the truth and Cena/Rollins/Rock/Bryan all miss out, they are seriously in a lot of **** right now.

Will be interesting to see if they can pull something out as they have managed to the last couple of years.

I still think if they play their cards right, they can still put together a very good show. Last year's main show had 7 matches I believe, and I think with the addition of Styles and Nakamura, assuming they will be here by then that is easily achievable. I think just a quick, off the top of my head card could be:

Lesnar v Reigns for the WWE title

Del Rio v Kalisto for the US Title

Ambrose v Owens for the IC title

New Day v Usos for the tag titles

Charlotte v Becky Lynch (assuming that Banks is hurt as someone else posted)

Undertaker v Samoa Joe

Nakamura v Sheamus

Styles v Rusev

That's 8 and I know that they aren't great matches, I was just pointing out that the talent is still there to put on a great show. That also doesn't count the possibility of calling up Balor or Bryan being cleared which seems like a possibility

If they get nakamura to the main roster in time for WM and he fights sheamus ill burn jerry world to the ground myself

Yeah it's legit hard to come up with a card. I started one and was completely out of relevant people before I even got to the IC and US title matches

If nakamura/styles/balor are up tho we can start building something:

WWE Title
Styles (c via rumble) vs Reigns

Lesnar vs Nakamura

IC Title
Ambrose vs Balor

Tag Title
New Day (c) vs Usos vs Lucha

US Title
Del Rio vs Owens

Wyatts vs Sheamus/Barrett/Rusev


Then something like andre the giant battle royal


and then shrug for taker is 8



at least thats like, something i can almost fill a card out with?

They have 12 weeks, not 12 months.

No ****ing way are Styles or Nakamura getting a top billing position. Maybe Balor, but even that's a bit of a stretch.

It's fantasy booking based on roster, not what will get reigns over the best booking

Though the correct solution when injury depleted here and having big names coming in is make them come in as huge talents at the top immediately. It won't happen but a guy can dream.
