I, for one, can't wait for Wrestlemania. I doubt I'll get to see it live as I start work at 5am, and it runs from 1am-4am over here in the UK, but I've got the Network so I usually watch the PPVs as soon as I get in from work.
As far as the Divas Triple Threat goes, I'm a big fan of all three women, particularly Becky Lynch. That said, I think Wrestlemania will be the time for Sasha Banks to fully embrace babyface status and take the maligned butterfly from Charlotte. If they are given 10-15 minutes it could be a really good match as they are arguably the three best divas on the main roster right now, perhaps up there along Paige at least.
In the case of Ambrose against Lesnar, I'd normally say Ambrose would win as he's been booked as the underdog throughout this story. Then again, it's a face vs face match so the whole underdog thing probably won't apply. I think Lesnar will win it but he'll be battered, and Ambrose will earn his respect. With Lesnar's endorsement I'm hoping my boy Dean will move through the year getting built up as a legitimate star, possibly to effectively replace Daniel Bryan as the fans' sweetheart, and he'll take the title from Reigns perhaps at Summerslam or next year's Royal Rumble. Of course, Seth Rollins will be back by then so we could hopefully see a former Shield feud over the title, which I'd mark out for like an excited little schoolgirl personally.
Shane vs Taker is going to be entertaining, but I doubt it'll be a great match, and for all Undertaker's streak has been broken now I think him losing to Shane here would almost make the whole thing seem like one big fluke, whereas right now him losing to Lesnar is seen as a freak occurrence really.
In the main event, I like both guys but I'm not excited for it at all. Unless there is a big swerve or major return it'll just be a run of the mill 3 star match with Reigns capturing his third World Title - frankly ridiculous considering the booking over the last few months!
Should be a good show though, always look forward to Mania.

I am super excited for WrestleMania, like I am every year.
It has been a very long time since I've been excited for a divas match (since the Lita and Trish era). But I am excited about this divas match and the "divas revolution". All three of the divas are phenomenal, but I really like Charlotte so I am pulling for Charlotte in this one.
I expect Lesnar and Ambrose to steal the show this year, both men are willing to do whatever it takes to put on a good show and I think they will show us that at WrestleMania. I expect both men to take a major beating, but I think Ambrose will come on top and show the WWE that he belongs in the title picture. Hopefully Ambrose will get his chance to shine, this is the year to do so.
The Undertaker vs Shane McMahon will be very entertaining, Shane is always entertaining. But Shane has gotten a lot older since he last step foot inside that ring, so hopefully he doesn't have to much rust on him. But I agree with Mac, I do not think it will be a good match. It's an interesting story and I think it'll be entertaining, but I don't expect it to be good. Shane McMahon beating the Undertaker does not make sense, Shawn Michaels couldn't defeat the Undertaker at WrestleMania, Triple H couldn't defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania, it doesn't make sense that Shane McMahon (even though he's great and I like him) would be able to defeat Undertaker at WrestleMania. Hopefully Shane sticks around after WrestleMania though.
This is the first time I have not been excited about the main event at WrestleMania, it's too predictable. I don't see Triple H defeating Roman Reigns and remaining in the title picture. Roman Reigns will defeat Triple H, he will continue to feud with the authority. But like Mac said, unless theres a huge swerve or a major return, it'll be a 3-star match.
WrestleMania should be good this year, and hopefully they can break WrestleMania 3's attendance record. But I do not think it will be able to top last years WrestleMania.

Lesnar...face? I see Reigns winning the title, just for the fact that they REALLY want to push Reigns..even if he isn't necessarily liked all that much by the fans.

Sweet Jesus! I can't remember the last time a Women's/Diva's title match was held at a WrestleMania. 2006?
Only match I'm interested in is Shane/Taker because it was a straight up curve ball thrown because all their big names are out injured and people can honestly say they never saw it coming. I don't even know who I want to win at this point, but I'm almost certain it's going to be Undertaker because I have my doubts Shane is back for good.
Anyway, I'm taking advantage of the free month trial for WWE Network to watch WrestleMania live this year.

I've updated the opening post with graphics and stuff, generally tidied it up. I haven't finished this weeks' Raw yet so any more matches that have been confirmed will go up very soon.
Some good posts here, I agree with a lot of your points. The divas division is as good as it's ever been, and a triple threat for the title compliments how far it's come in recent years. I'm also tipping Sasha to take the belt as she's hugely popular and probably the best wrestler on the roster, the only thing this match is maybe missing is Paige to make it a fatal four way, but otherwise this should be a great match. really pleased Becky Lynch has remained relevant, after losing to Charlotte at the Royal Rumble I feared she would fade into obscurity but here she is in a match at WrestleMania.
Ambrose vs Lesnar is not the match I want to see, I'm hoping Ambrose takes the title at Roadblock and throws nearly the entire card in the air. As it is I think Lesnar will absolutely batter him, sure he might kick out of an F5 and two dozen suplexes but otherwise no surprises here.
Shane vs Undertaker has the potential, had this match happened 15 years ago during the height of the attitude era it would have been a classic, as I think Shane would be the only guy mad enough to follow Foley off the top of the cell. Obviously that won't happen now as Shane is 45 and WWE is so PG there will be huge limitations on what both guys can do. I'm expecting another one-sided match as Taker destroys Shane.
I too am not all that interested in the main event. I'm firmly on the Reigns hatred bandwagon, not for the man himself but for the way he's been booked. The fans don't want him as 'the man' and it frustrates me seeing him personally and the storylines continuing to go through the motions regardless of feedback, it's awful seeing him kick the crap out of Triple H while being boo'd out of the building. That said he'll win the title is the match stays as it is, and he'll get boo'd out of the building again. Predictable as Justin says.

I'm really really REALLY hoping that WWE puts on a "Former NXT Champions" match with the IC Title picture... It would be nice to see a triple threat with Neville, Owens, and Zayn going at it. And it would be even better if said match was in a Ladder Match or possibly a TLC match. I really think these three could make some serious goodness here.
As for the Ambrose/Reigns/HHH/Lesnar Saga going on, I'm beginning to think that maybe just maybe Ambrose is walking out the WWE Champion at Roadblock, and maybe Reigns won't be getting his Mania main event yet. I'm not sure of the extent of his injury, but if he misses the show, I'd think WWE could call a perfect audible by having Ambrose become champion, at which point they can have the main event be a triple threat with Ambrose vs. HHH vs. Lesnar.

Good shout, I'd love to see it happen - but then what happens with Lesnar at Mania? Be a bit silly of WWE advertising him in a match against Ambrose only for Dean to take the title and bypass Brock all together, unless they made it a Fatal 4 Way, but then that's just stretching things. Then again, have the other three guys having a beef with Reigns, maybe an Ambrose heel turn after Reigns takes the title, could really pile the sympathy onto Roman. I doubt it though - the fans would probably love it if that happened and just boo him even more.
How about a Dusty Finish, have either Ambrose or Reigns walk out as champ and Rollins returns as a triumphant babyface and we get that Shield Triple Threat? I'm seriously hoping it'll happen guys haha

We can but hope, there's still three weeks for him to make a miraculous recovery.

Obviously that won't happen now as Shane is 45 and WWE is so PG there will be huge limitations on what both guys can do. I'm expecting another one-sided match as Taker destroys Shane. Which is a shame because there's more storyline opportunities from Shane winning than Taker. Shane wins, he takes over RAW, the Authority gets taken off TV (or move to SmackDown if they really do intend on bringing back the brand split as some have been speculating), and the company might actually push new people to the top with the way Shane's been shooting on the business. Undertaker wins? It's back to business as normal. There's literally nothing more for Taker to do in the WWE.

Well after the last episode of Raw, it's safe to say that Shane will be running Raw even if just kayfabe wise.
