    I have to leave for work in a few minutes so can't make this post too detailed, but noticed there wasn't a thread for this yet and wanted to at least get it going and post a card. WWE's hyping this show like crazy although I'm only really interested in 3 matches.

    “Winner Take All” WWE World and United States Championship Match:

    -Seth Rollins vs. John Cena

    WWE Intercontinental Championship Match:

    -Ryback (c) vs. The Miz vs. The Big Show

    WWE Tag Team Championship Match:

    -The Prime Time Players (c’s) vs. Los Matadores vs. The New Day vs. Lucha Dragons

    -Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker

    -Sheamus vs. Randy Orton

    -Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose vs. The Wyatt Family

    -Kevin Owens vs. Cesaro

    9-Diva Elimination Tag Team Match:

    -Team PCB vs. Team Bella vs. Team B.A.D

    -Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev

    -Steven Amell and Neville vs. King Barrett and Stardust



    Owens/Cesaro, Cena/Rollins and Brock/Taker are the ones I'm excited about, rest of the card is nothing special imo.

    Also I absolutely hate how they keep calling Brock/Taker the match that's 'too big for Wrestlemania.' Whoever thought of that idea is a f---in idiot, not sure why it helps at all to bash Mania to try to get this match over, plus no match is too big for Mania lol.

    The first Taker/Brock match s----d so hopefully this one is better but Taker being so old, I have little faith.

    Brock needs to win again. If not they'll do a part 3 at Mania next year and I really don't wanna see that. It wouldn't surprise me if Sting costs Taker the match although I'd really prefer Brock to win clean.

    this match is a lose - lose situation

    it makes no sense for either of those to lose ... if taker was going to lose clean(impossible) why would he even agree to do a match that makes no sense...he showed like 2 years later for no reason

    if taker is going to win (a bit more logical but still lol)..it would k--- Brock momentum

    Brock losing makes no sense to me, makes the streak ending look pointless. Also Takers got a few matches left at the most, he's got no reason to win IMO but he will just so Taker fans can feel better bout the streak ending. Ugh..

    The only reason The Undertaker is facing Brock Lesnar tonight is because, with Seth as champion the ratings plummeted the past few months, that on top of the fact that they knew how weak the card was (and still is) going to be for SummerSlam 2015.

    So what did they do? Brought back Taker for a parttimer war against Brock Lesnar (that's $$) and injected the main event with John Cena (that's also $$, Vince's backup plan).

    So it's basically a rigged setup for the sake of trying to have a big show and get ratings. Cena will get the title, and Raw will be watched more.

    What sucks is, it would be awful for Brock to lose to Taker (thus making them even stevens, which is how WWE books now adays) and completely nullify what they have built up with the streak ending. On the other hand, it makes no sense for Taker to come back and again lose to Brock. That would be lame.
