WWE PPV: Wrestlemania 31 News/Rumors

[Kieran King]

I'm assuming Rollins vs. Orton will happen too? Have no idea where Ambrose or Ziggler would fit into anything though...

Well on twitter Ziggler hit Bryan up about doing a match at Mania and Bryan said he would be down for it. So if WWE brass is cool with it we may get that, doubt it though since Vince seems to be in one of his stubborn moods and so will probably go Bryan vs Seamus since the fans made him drop that last year.

Punk made him drop it.

We noted before that Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan was in the works for WrestleMania 31 this year but apparently WWE has changed their mind.

The recent Twitter interactions between Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler are not just social media chatter as WWE is currently going with Bryan vs. Ziggler for WrestleMania.

Another battle royal also is expected for WrestleMania this year. No word yet on if it will be another Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal but there was talk at one point of making it a yearly match.

It was said this week by a WWE source that no matter how hard the fans rally for Daniel Bryan and no matter how much he gets over, top WWE officials are not going to see him as a top guy that can be the face of the company.

Before the news came out this week that WWE was planning on doing Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler at WrestleMania 31, there was a feeling among many that officials would not give in like they did last year and Bryan wouldn't be getting pushed to the WrestleMania main event again.

With that said, there was a rumor that Ziggler vs. Bryan could open WrestleMania 31.

Best match of the show first? Cool, just means everyone gets to go home early.

We noted two weeks ago that WWE pontifical would not be putting Daniel Bryan into the WWE World Heavyweight Title Match at WrestleMania 31 with Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar because Vince McMahon didn't want to go that route again after doing the same thing last year. Vince reportedly held a meeting this past week and changed his mind.

According to The Wrestling Observer, the new idea for the WrestleMania 31 main event is Bryan vs. Reigns vs. Lesnar for the title.

Plans could always change between now and the Fastlane pay-per-view on February 22nd but the current idea is to do a Triple Threat at WrestleMania 31 after Vince made the decision, apparently due to the crowd reactions.

Lol poor Vince.

Does this mean we get Ziggler vs Sheamus?

[Gravedigger]

If we're getting Rollins/Orton then when is Randy coming back to TV?

This WM season is a clusterfuck so far.....

McMahon has lost his grapefruits.

I'm gonna start a #BooBryan twitter trend

- If Bray Wyatt vs. The Undertaker does happen at WrestleMania 31 and WWE wants to have their usual ring entrances with the lights out, they will have to do that match late in the show because it will still be daylight for most of the show. Sunset for Santa Clara in March usually comes around 7:30pm local time, which will be well into the show.

- Coming out of WWE Fastlane last night, it was said backstage that Daniel Bryan will be facing either Dolph Ziggler or Sheamus at WrestleMania 31.

Fixed that for you.

Also I am actually excited for Mania this year because watching Reigns crash and burn and blow up in Vince's face just will amuse me. Yeah I don't want Reigns to have his career ruined but it is what it is and I may as well find some amusement in it even if it's a "watching a train wreck" type amusement.
