The problem that either the WWE or/and TKO has is: really simple for the amount of money they are asking for which is easily running into hundreds of thousands of dollars or pounds or any other coin equivalent; the booking or the cards are not strong enough to justify that kind of expenditure for an average person; so let's have a quick look at the matches I wouldn't pay to watch as things stand.

Night 1:

1: The Usos': Jey & Jimmy Uso & LA Knight vs. the WWE World Tag Champions The Vision's: Logan Paul & Austin Theory & IShowSpeed [with Paul Heyman;] Six-Man Tag Team Match:

Reason/Reasons: this is just a classic case of getting names on the card and it tells me that they think very little of these championships because at the very least they could have put a stipulation in place where if the champions lose their next defence is against The Usos or if they win their next defence will be just against Knight on his own, you know spice things up a little and it gives the illusion that either outcome would be interesting.

2: Liv Morgan vs. Champ Stephanie Vaquer; Singles Match for the WWE Women's World Championship:

Reason/Reasons: if this was just the match with the championship on the line where winning or losing clean then I would be interested, but I just see interference being a major factor and if so they may as well have just put it on their TV programming.

3: Jacob Fatu vs. Drew McIntyre; Unsanctioned Match:

Reason/Reasons: this just smells of; we have just remembered WrestleMania is just a short time away and what are we going to do with these two wrestlers? I know let's put them in a feud together... great idea. Well I am not buying it for some reason, I just think it is going to be a complete mess and quite possibly derail the momentum of this first night, because with this stipulation used, it usually indicates some kind of violence or/and blood at some point.

4: Randy Orton [with Pat McAfee] vs. Champ Cody Rhodes; Singles Match for the Undisputed WWE Championship; If Orton loses, McAfee will leave the professional wrestling business for good:

Reason/Reasons: yes absolutely I wasn't particularly on board with this main event to begin with, but even I have to say the original WWE feud idea going off Orton and Rhodes history is at the very least solid, compare to now with TKO's involvement and let's just say drastic creative directional changes, this is now looking like a complete manure show.

Night 2:

5: Rhea Ripley vs. Champ Jade Cargill; Singles Match for the WWE Women's Championship:

Reason/Reasons: every long-term wrestling fan knows this expression your wrestling division regardless of gender is only as strong as your champion and for the younger generations this does not mean physically strong; this means consistent on-screen [which absolutely we can blame the WWE for this for possibly a good chunk of responsibility,] but some of it has to fall on Cargill as the holding champion, but hypothetically if she was coming in with say 8 or more defences in this reign, I would say this was potentially a marquee match.

6: "The Demon" Finn Bálor vs. Dominik Mysterio; Singles Match:

Reason/Reasons: simply put the faction/stable known as The Judgement Day have well and truly past their sell by date and I find this all incredibly boring as fudge and what really is the cherry on top of this manure cake is I can smell the desperation including "The Demon" I would be more happy to see Papa Shango or/and The Bogeyman, in fact that is a great idea: why didn't they set up a lumberjack/monster style match: where on one either side of the ring we have; Shango, Bogeyman, Abyss or/and Kane [or if Kane can't make it, I am sure his brother The Undertaker/Undertaker/Taker can make it] to stop interference and obviously if one or both of these competitors should be on the outside help them back in, but "The Demon" on its own with a very ordinary stipulation of Singles Match is hardly going to cut the mustard as things stand at the level of WrestleMania.

7: Trick Williams vs. Champ Sami Zayn; Singles Match for the WWE Men's United States Championship: even though I'm not attending this year's Mania in the slightest and before anyone asks that will probably never happen. But hypothetically if I was going I would be extremely urinated off that we almost had Williams vs Champ Carmelo Hayes for this championship and I would have said thank you very much WWE, but as things stand we have this manure instead and how can I but this nicely... I don't want to see this manure, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say probably most people don't want to see this match, they can always make it a triple threat for this championship at Mania, but for some strange reason I don't see them giving their fan base something that they like.

So yet again as things stand: there is 7 out of 13 matches which I wouldn't pay to watch, I mean the closer we are getting to this weekend are closer I am now thinking How are they going to screw up the ending of Roman Reigns vs. Champ CM Punk; Singles Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship? Because I have no faith anymore in this modern day WWE hierarchy with or without TKO, come on this should be a case of one section of the fan base is going to be happy with who goes over here and one isn't end of story. But my years of experience just tells me the WWE are going to screw/troll their fan base and give them the middle finger, I have suggested DarkState from NXT might be the ones to do it, I just have this feeling that no one is going to leave this event happy with the ending of this main event.

I am not deliberately taking a dump on this main event, I honestly hope it goes one way or the other for all concerned, but something in my stomach and head tells me we as wrestling fans are just going to get the Montréal Screw Job, in a nutshell because I have just filled out a previous piece of content; I can now really see this main event having some kind of dusty finish just for the rematch to take place in Riyadh Saudi Arabia where they can make lots more money at Mania 43/2027, I can really see it coming obviously I hope I am wrong for the sake of the fans heading to this year's Mania, because if I was going and I am at least somewhere in the right ballpark I would be urinated off for sure, but only time will tell and I mean this sincerely I hope I am wrong genuinely; you see this is not a WWE vs. AEW thing this is a wrestling fan thing where we are all getting pretty much squeezed out of the WWE it financially or their content or any of the burden that comes with being associated with the WWE, they have well and truly forgotten without the generations of fans the WWF/WWE wouldn't still be standing and consequently thriving and I'm going to leave this content on it really sad reminder yet also incredibly predictable I can guarantee you that in Riyadh Saudi Arabia their Mania cards are going to be much more stronger than these two; let's put it this way hypothetically speaking so of course I could be wrong on some level; if they have 14 matches over the weekend I can guarantee you the average of those matches based on match slots are going to be I would predict say on average good to higher build the absolutely no fillers, I will even go one more step and say you'll be lucky to have no more than 3 average to worse matches slots over the entire weekend and just to cover my back a little I mean matches specifically on the card so anything before this does not count [I like to give myself a little bit of wiggle room and considering this and that prediction for more than a year away I think I can give myself a little bit of wiggle room,] for now until next year everyone gets it does get ready for Punk and/or Reigns taking on DarkState or another new faction/stable the main roster.
