Dusty Rhodes once told Heyman about how promos need to talk people into the building. The four participants in this match talked me into seeing what I thought would be a throwaway match. Kudos to four professionals; that's how it's done.

I wonder if this match will surprise people. It may even send The Miz back in the Main Event picture. And Maryse back into full-time wrestling (instead of just a valet).

The promos last night were solid. I hope they let Miz have this one, he has earned it.

It should headline WrestleMania, and I’m not even joking.
Lesnar over Goldberg, Wyatt over Orton and Reigns over Taker are not the firework and confetti endings that befit WrestleMania. I know some people believe that Taker is going over Reigns. He isn’t.
Cena proposing to Nikki is the only fairytale ending to this year’s WrestleMania, and also fantastic PR. Charlotte and Sasha headlined Hell in a Cell, however we’re a long way away from seeing an all-female WrestleMania main event. An intergender match is something of a compromise; an historic moment that breaks down barriers, builds upon the last year’s campaign to promote the women’s division, and paves a way for the future.
Besides, let’s face it, it is the best storyline heading into WrestleMania and arguably the biggest mainstream draw. Cena is the biggest name on the roster, and Nikki and Miz are bigger mainstream names than Wyatt and probably Reigns. Lesnar/Goldberg and Wyatt/Orton are nothing matches, so no harm placing them in the midcard where they belong.
