SPOILERS (PLEASE BE COGNIZANT OF THOSE WHO WISH TO AVOID SPOILERS)

- Legado Del Fantasma are officially listed as the LWO internally. They're slated to be with Rey Mysterio.
- Rey/Dominik, Logan Paul/Rollins and the WWE Tag Title match were slated for the most time, with Charlotte/Rhea just behind them, and Theory/Cena right around that area, too. The Men's showcase tag is currently slated for the least.
- The Andre the Giant Battle Royal trophy was brought over to Sofi Stadium for "use for an entrance" this weekend.
- Logan Paul has a special entrance
Comments
Michael Hayes has been a rock star for the WWE throughout this whole Bloodline story. It feels like most of the best moments have had his name attached.

2023-04-02 16:06:31 +0000 UTCJah-C was another indie wrestler/corrections officer who escorted Dominik to the ring (to Dan Barry's left). As Righteous Reg tweeted, "I always knew you was the feds @FRONTMANJAH"
Kim Cee
2023-04-02 11:54:11 +0000 UTCWas Vince screaming at Cole through his headset when he mentioned El Generico?
Ryan Murray
2023-04-02 04:26:00 +0000 UTCThank you! Didn’t even see that haha
Austin Senju
2023-04-02 02:44:02 +0000 UTCThey’re listed above with the match order

2023-04-02 02:41:13 +0000 UTCWhen will the producers be posted?
Austin Senju

2023-04-02 02:23:36 +0000 UTChell idk
Fightful Select
2023-04-01 23:42:28 +0000 UTCAlso I’m guessing if the Andre the Giant Battle Royal trophy is coming over tonight for an entrance then maybe Lashley’s open challenge is tonight.

2023-04-01 23:26:10 +0000 UTCNot trying to be picky, just curious. Does Patreon change all the dashed things in the spoilers section from a bulleted list?
Jack Rasberry
2023-04-01 23:17:37 +0000 UTCI think Rhea-Charlotte would have main evented if the Bloodline wasn’t, ya know, the best story in WWE right now. Plus it makes sense if it’s rumored that Sami/KO and Cody are winning that you would have them main event. So IMO this was 100% the right call.
Matthew McMillen
2023-04-01 23:11:15 +0000 UTCI’m just assuming that with Finn being the Demon tomorrow that he won’t be seen until then. Would be a little weird to have him be involved with other stuff when he’s gonna be painted up as his alter ego tomorrow. He also wasn’t seen at HOF last night with the rest of the group.
AJ
2023-04-01 23:10:17 +0000 UTCYou mean Finn and Priest. Rhea will have her big appearance. Heard she is ALL made up.
Samantha L. Sayre
2023-04-01 23:08:33 +0000 UTCGlad the tag titles is on last. Some year the women will main event both nights instead of just one. Alas this wasn't the year for one night which makes me sad because Rhea capping off the night as champ would have been well-earned. They had me going earlier when the Network thumbnails for Mania Saturday had Rhea vs Charlotte pictured instead of the tag title competitors.
Fan
2023-04-01 23:08:19 +0000 UTCI love that Legado are the new age lWo. That’s pretty epic and gotta be a dream come true for those guys to be the new version of the group.
Matthew McMillen
2023-04-01 23:07:27 +0000 UTCThere just wasn't enough build for Rhea vs Charlotte. And hell yeah for the new LWO. Great decision.
John Horton
2023-04-01 23:05:21 +0000 UTCDelighted for Sami he really deserves it
Matt Hennessy
2023-04-01 22:49:30 +0000 UTCSo Damage CTRL and Trish/Lita/Becky not getting much time? Hope they get a good 10-15 minutes match atleast
Stew Sizer
2023-04-01 22:46:37 +0000 UTCInteresting Rhea’s match is right after Dominik’s. If Legado is coming out with Rey I assume Rhea and Priest will be ringside too.
