* WWE “discussed the idea of shooting the angle for the match on night one and then having the match at night two,” according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. This is despite the fact that an angle to set up Rey vs. Dominik Mysterio could occur during tonight’s episode of SmackDown or the Hall of Fame ceremony next week.

* Despite having a fractured arm, Ronda Rousey is still scheduled to appear on the program at this time. Meltzer stated that “the feeling is why throw on a Wrestlemania title match when you can’t really build it effectively right now” in reference to Rousey and Shayna Baszler not competing for the women’s tag team titles.

* More sections have been opened, and more than 62,000 tickets have been distributed for both nights of WrestleMania. Both RAW and SmackDown are expected to be sold-out events in Los Angeles. NXT Stand and Deliver has approximately 6,700 tickets distributed, which is more than last year’s show in Dallas.
