Vince better do something to WOW everyone. It's already going to be one of the most talked about WM ever. Likely in a bad way due to no audience. Some surprises would help salvage it.

I'm trying to view it from this perspective and through the same lens that HHH describes here:
"We were going through the minute by minute of what was happening," Triple H said. "It's amazing how quickly all of this happened. On Wednesday March 11th, we were actually doing an event out of the Performance Center in Orlando that actually had fans at it. And I had mentioned to Vince, 'Maybe we should leave some of this stuff up just in case, it just seems like things are going in a weird direction very quickly.' In a 24 hour period after that everything was shutting down. It's like everybody, playing it by ear. We can also do this in a way from an entertainment standpoint, from a Hollywood standpoint and a fictional standpoint that we can kind of control the environment and do this in a way that really nobody else can. And that's what we've been able to do with WrestleMania. We've been able to continue the product, continue to put the event on, do it in the safest way possible, with minimal staff, no fans but we feel like it's necessary."
"I think [postponing or canceling] was obviously considered but we feel like it's an obligation for us," he continued. "Our fans have been there for us for years and years and years and we want to be there for them in this time where everybody is just doing the best to get through this, stuck home and the world needs entertainment right now. We feel an obligation to give them that. Whether it's exactly what we would like it to be or they would like it to be, it probably won't be, but it will be a version of that. We will make it the spectacle that it needs to be and that we can to the best of our ability and we'll give the fans something to be entertained by. Sometimes people get very caught up in what we do, the arguments of what's happening and why and should've done this or that, but at the end of the day if you don't take it too seriously and you enjoy WWE for what it is, an entertainment source that hopefully we can do what the intent is is putting a smile on your face. If you can forget all that and put it aside and just sit in front of your set and just be entertained by what we do, then we've succeeded."

Having said that, I am trying to temper my expectations based on current circumstances and events. For all of the things I can rightfully blame Vince McMahon and WWE for, the current circumstances aren't one of them.

Bayley has held the belt for over 300 days. It's time for a change. Sasha is better than Bayley in every way. Face or heel.

Recap of Saturday evening Wrestlemania:
Preshow - Cesaro beat Drew Gulak
Becky Lynch beat Shayna Baszler to retain
Kevin Owens beat Seth Rollins
John Morrison won Triple Threat Ladder Match to retain **
Elias Beat King Corbin
Sami Zayn beat Daniel Bryan to retain
Braun Strowman beat Goldberg to become new champ *
Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross beat The Kabuki Warriors to become the new champs
The Undertaker beat AJ Styles
**Injury to The Miz forced the Ladder Match to be single wrestlers for the tag team belts. So it was Morrison vs Kingston vs Jimmy Uso.
*Strowman replaced Roman Reigns after Reigns backed out of match due to his leukemia 2 years ago and virus now.
Overall a good show considering no audience. It last exactly 3 hours. Nikki Cross was VERY impressive and practically won that match by herself. UT/Styles was great. Goldberg/Strowman was the worst match. It only lasted 3 minutes. Goldberg should NEVER wrestle again.
Tomorrow night 9 more matches. The card doesn't look as good at all. Any questions just ask away!
