Cancelled Match

Why is this even a segment? Other than to be able to discuss the Vince/Brock thing on the Mania page? Every year theres cancelled matches. And esepecially since the PPV hasnt even happened yet, seems really odd to do. Seems like its really only there to serve as a vehicle to discuss the Vince allegations and to call attention to that Brock was involved too.

WrestleMania 40 → WrestleMania XL – With the name and logo of this WrestleMania revealed, I am requesting that this article is moved to WrestleMania XL. Bleacher Report has an article with a corresponding tweet from Jon Alba depicting the logo which uses the Roman numerals for 40 as opposed to the Arabic numerals used in the nine WrestleManias that precede the 40th iteration of the event.

Cody Rhodes content

JDC808 - please stop adding content that fails verification from the cited source. starship.paint (RUN) 07:09, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Fightful never says While Rhodes's choice seemed obvious, this is simply your interpretation and editorializing.
  2. Dot Net does not say Seth "Freakin" Rollins, who Rhodes had defeated in his return match at WrestleMania 38, made a convincing argument as to why Rhodes should instead challenge him for Raw's World Heavyweight Championship, stating that his title was the workhorse championship and the title that Dusty would choose. You restored that but instead Dot Net says Seth Rollins ... implied that he knows which title Dusty Rhodes would want.
  3. Dot Net does not say Rhodes said that he would eventually win the WWE Championship, but you added that.

This is just shoddy editing. starship.paint (RUN) 07:09, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Starship.paint literally everything you pointed out is in the sources (with a minor exception of Rhodes defeating Rollins at WM38). This is a failed interpretation of sources on your part (we're not supposed to copy exactly what sources say, that would be plagiarism).
1. Read the quoted text from Cody at the Fightful source. "seemed obvious" sums up his entire quote, and additionally, going off what was mentioned before in this summary about Cody wanting the WWE Championship, that implies which title he would go for (i.e., "seemed obvious").
2. Dot Net says Seth "knows which title Dusty would want". What I put is saying the same thing without repeating exactly what Dot Net wrote.
3. The whole promo between Rhodes and Reigns was whether or not Rhodes would choose to challenge Reigns for Reigns' title (which consists of the WWE Championship). Dot Net says "He then told Roman he was coming for him, but not at WrestleMania". That's Rhodes saying he is not challenging Roman for the title at WrestleMania, but would eventually. JDC808 ♫ 07:28, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry JDC808, we simply disagree on how much liberties to take with sources. You're more lenient and I'm more strict in these listed instances. We should work out a consensus wording. Or just find a source that more closely matches your wording. starship.paint (RUN) 07:32, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing content based on the above sources:

  1. At the press conference after the Royal Rumble, Rhodes said: "I want to be back in the ring with Roman Reigns and I want to finish the story." Fightful says: At the WWE Royal Rumble Post-Show Press Conference, Steve Fall of WrestlingNewsCo asked Rhodes whether he would officially say that he was choosing Reigns as his opponent at WrestleMania ... "... I want to be back in the ring with Roman Reigns and I want to finish the story ..."
  2. Seth Rollins argued that Rhodes should instead face him for his World Heavyweight Championship, stating that his title was the workhorse championship and "the Dusty Rhodes title"; Rhodes responded that he would consider it. Dot Net. Meanwhile, if we want to mention that Rhodes defeated Rollins at WM38, just get a recent source for it, I am not opposed but RS has to say it as relevant.
  3. On the February 2 episode of SmackDown, Rhodes said that he would not challenge Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL. If you read the sources, both primary WWE.com and secondary Dot Net F4W The West Australian that's what they say. I'm not sure why we are not allowed to mention Roman. starship.paint (RUN) 07:28, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Starship.paint
1. The press conference doesn't add anything of value to include in a match summary for a match that isn't happening (that match being Reigns vs. Rhodes). This is why "seemed obvious" was the chosen wording. It also eliminates mentioning Roman Reigns since Reigns is not who Cody is facing. There are times we might need to mention someone that's not in the match, but this match summary can be done without mentioning Reigns.
2. Although it's in quotations, I don't think we should be calling it the "Dusty Rhodes title" as that's inaccurate. Yes, Seth said that in his promo, but it was metaphorical speak (there are already folks out there who think Seth's title is the previous WHC and even the WCW/NWA title, lets not confuse them more). Counter: "Seth "Freakin" Rollins argued that Rhodes should instead face him for Raw's World Heavyweight Championship, stating that his title was the workhorse championship that embodied Dusty" (or something along those lines that signifies it's the championship that Dusty would want).
3. Essentially covered in point 1, but this match is not about Cody vs. Reigns (at one point perhaps, but not anymore, unless WWE changes plans again). I wouldn't be opposed to mentioning something in Background before Storylines on how WWE have had to change plans, such as due to Punk's injury since he was originally reported to be Seth's WM opponent. JDC808 ♫ 07:55, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @JDC808: - for #1 and #3 perhaps consider this perspective. The storyline section informs readers how we got the match. Cody's match will come due to him choosing one wrestler, which could happen because he rejects one wrestler. So, by covering his choice (rejecting Reigns), we are accurately telling readers how the match came about. The storyline reason given was that he wanted Reigns to lose everything, not just the title. For #2, that roughly sounds okay, I am looking for sources for inclusion. starship.paint (RUN) 08:13, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      @Starship.paint yes, the storyline section does tell us that. His goal has always been the WWE Championship. The summary I was trying to implement told us his original goal and how we got to his choice without mentioning Reigns. Whenever we get a confirmation of Rock vs. Reigns, we can make a mention about why Cody rejected Reigns there, since his rejection essentially set up Rock vs. Reigns (and that goes back to what I said where at times we might need to mention someone not in the match). I guess for now we could mention it, but rework it once Rock vs. Reigns is confirmed. JDC808 ♫ 08:23, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • @JDC808: - while Cody's goal is indeed the WWE Championship, at least during the last promo he also mentioned Reigns himself: I am coming for you Roman Reigns. Seems like possibly a secondary goal. Seems like we have to disagree, I do not see any way that we can properly tell all of Cody's story without mentioning Reigns. Yes, there should be some reworking when Rock/Reigns is confirmed. starship.paint (RUN) 08:29, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do not add until wwe announce official

do not create wrestling tribalism here with useless edit war. Do not add seth Rollins to Cody Rhodes match and not add roman and rock match as this your personal page. Its public information needs to be backed by authentic and official source. Yugendar bcom (talk) 12:40, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Agreed. Kvwiki1234 (talk) 05:03, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Section about Cody saying he won't challenge Reigns at WrestleMania and The Rock showing up

This keeps getting hidden. It seems pretty significant and worthy of inclusion to me, especially with the press conference coming up, even if the match isn't officially confirmed yet. Rambo Apocalypse (talk) 21:56, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request to make this page Extended Confirmed Protected

This page should be extended confirmed protected. There seems to be a lot of incorrect edits ranging from inaccurate fan speculation to flat out vandalism, especially in the Matches table.

I move to make this page to extended confirmed protected category, editable only by extended confirmed users.

Thanks,

Main event matches and undercard matches

In the production section it says that Rhea Ripley vs Becky Lynch and Iyo Sky vs Bayley are undercard matches. It also says that Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre are main event matches. Has it been confirmed which matches are the undercard and which matches are the main event? (Fran Bosh (talk) 18:44, 24 February 2024 (UTC))[reply]

I agree. Seems like a snub to the women's world title matches. Kvwiki1234 (talk) 04:02, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

LA Knight vs AJ Styles

Why it not mentioned 197.86.195.143 (talk) 15:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Has not been officially confirmed by WWE yet. Kvwiki1234 (talk) 04:02, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes it has. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.87.143.112 (talk) 04:23, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cancelled match

The Brock Lesnar match that was supposedly cancelled was never advertised or promoted by WWE, and is only included based on pure speculation, so there is no reason to have it here. Dr. Cool Beans (talk) 17:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not officially a match yet, so it should be listed. Additionally, WWE has not announced for ANY of the matches if they will be on night 1 or night 2, so the whole matches list is not correct. 198.0.123.172 (talk) 19:32, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Poster

Should we keep the current poster with just Cody & Roman or add the updated one featuring Rock and Rollins? Troutfarm27 (Talk) 04:32, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We should use the poster for the event itself, instead, should we not? Vincent Forrester (talk) 01:17, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Last Chance Match

Roman stipulated on the latest edition (8th March) of Smackdown that if Cody loses, he won't be able to challenge for the title again:

"When I beat you at Wrestlemania on Sunday, that's it. [...] You don't get another shot."

The card section of the article should be changed to reflect this. 2.25.38.54 (talk) 13:09, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 12 March 2024

"Additionally, due to Rock's position on the TKO board of directors, he stipulated that the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match would be a last chance match where if Rhodes did not win, he would never be able to challenge Reigns for the title again."

"Reigns" was not specified. If Cody Rhodes loses against Roman Reigns, he will never be able to challenge for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship ever again no matter who holds it. Furthermore, under "Last Chance match" in "Professional wrestling match types" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_match_types#Last_Chance_match), it is stated that "Another similar situation will also occur at WrestleMania XL, in which if Cody Rhodes loses against Roman Reigns, he will never be able to challenge for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship ever again no matter who holds it." This contradicts this page. Vincent Forrester (talk) 03:30, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vincent Forrester honestly, WWE needs to further clarify this. The source for the Reigns vs. Rhodes match in the matches table has not been updated to reflect this stipulation (nor has the tag match one), so it may not even be an actual stipulation. Hopefully we'll get clarification when Rock shows up on SmackDown this week. JDC808 ♫ 02:12, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I removed the mention at Last Chance match. It was added by a random IP and was unsourced anyways. We at least have a source here that Rock said that. We just need WWE to clarify if it's an actual stipulation. JDC808 ♫ 02:15, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My understanding is that the championship-related statements (Cody's last chance, WHC disappearing) are things that Rock is supposedly planning to make happen, not stipulations. Vincent Forrester (talk) 04:58, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 21 March 2024

Requesting to revert the most recent change to this page.

I see no reason for the poster for the main event of Saturday to take precedence over the poster for the main event of Sunday, and thus the main event of WrestleMania XL as a whole.

If this change is denied, requesting to correct the grammar underneath the poster, as there are no spaces after commas. Vincent Forrester (talk) 10:47, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done — Czello (music) 10:51, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Cancelled Matches

The cancelled matches segment should really be removed. Its not done for other PPVs. And none of these matches were ever officially announced.
