10 Expectations Vs. Reality For WrestleMania 31

We are in the 'Reality Era' after all.

There are only two episode of Raw to go before WrestleMania 31. Although there are still matches to be announced and the card is not quite finalised, anticipation (such as it is) is building. Despite the distinct lack of hype, this is still WrestleMania we're talking about here, and people are going to get invested and watch it regardless of what the matches are. And this year's WrestleMania card is certainly one of the most disappointing in recent years. There are question marks around the Sting versus Triple H, Bray Wyatt versus The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar versus Roman Reigns matches. Are they good enough to prevent this year's 'Mania from being one of the worst of all time? Many fans seem to think that, no, they won't be. But despite all of the lingering pessimism, there are still the usual expectations that come with every WrestleMania. Fans can claim that they know the show is going to suck all they want but deep down inside they are hoping that WWE knock it out of the park. It may be one of the least anticipated WrestleManias in recent times, but there are still very specific things that fans want out of WrestleMania 31. They want certain wrestlers and matches to meet their expectations. Unfortunately for them, reality is just around the corner, waiting like a Triple H sledgehammer blow.
