Maybe, just maybe, this won’t be a hot mess, but after the debacle that was the WWE World Championship match at WrestleMania XXXIII, you’ve got to imagine that the House of Horrors bout is going to be a proverbial s***-show.

Very little has been revealed about this match, but we know that it apparently will start in the alleged house and end in the arena in the ring. That presumably means that part of the match will be recorded ahead of time, perhaps similar to the Undertaker/Mankind boiler room brawl from a generation ago.

But that is all speculation. What exactly is going to happen is anyone’s guess, but it feels like this is more a morbid curiosity than breathless anticipation. The ring projections at 'Mania weren’t well-received, so there’s at least even money that this House of Horrors match could be similarly groan-worthy.
