The thing is, I still don't consider Bayley and Sasha a real tag team. Yeah they have a name and matching tights and merchandise, but part of me is still waiting for the day Sasha stabs Bayley in the back and goes heel. It's almost the equivalent of the Mega Powers... yeah, things look good but sooner or later SOMETHING is going to happen.
I liked Bayley and Sasha as champs, and they deserve it. And the womens tag divison at this point NEEDS them in it, whether they're champs or not. But ultimately they are probably bigger than the tag division, so I don't think they'll stick around indefinately anyways. Long term it's better to use them to help prop up teams like the Iconics who like the Usos will probably stay a tag team for the long haul.
And it's worth repeating... I'm super happy for the Iconics winning. Again, that's right up there with Kofi and Becky to me.

although with the WWE giving a lot of fan desired outcomes, this might be a tough spring and summer
Honestly I do expect Daniel Bryan at least to win the WWE championship back fairly quickly. He was an excellent champion, who under different circumstances probably would not have gotten his title rein cut as short as he did. If Kofi hadn't gotten so over, I think Daniel would have kept the belt until Summerslam because he was THAT good a champion.
And that's no disrespect to Kofi, but I think Bryan right now is probably the best all around sports entertainer on the freaking planet.

I liked that the Iiconics won which I didnt expect. I liked that Kofi won which I did expect. I like that Lesnar lost. I thought the main event was a very average match which I epxected it to be. Otherwise the show was too long and filled with stuff I wasnt that bothered about either way, I prefer a 3 hour ppv at most. Not a bad Wrestlemania but not a classic.
Maybe they could do a Wrestlemania weekend instead of a single day instead of one 7 hour show, make it 2 3 hour shows or something like that.
Or just say "fuck it" and make it like a 16 hour show. Let people tune in and out whenever they want. With more intermissions.
So apparently there were multiple ways that Kofi's win was spoiled.
The first was Daisy, a.k.a. the WWE Championship title, being covered on a podium next to the ring before the match.
The second was the t-shirt that Big E had in the present was put up on WWE Shop before the match ended.
HoF Thursday, TakeOver Friday, WM Day 1 Saturday, WM Day 2 Sunday.
Doesn't seem hard to me.
And 2 Main Events means they could easily run a multi-man, women's, or even a tag for one of them.
Gives them more options, IMHO.
With Fox taking Smackdown live on Fridays, they could air TakeOver there to get more eyeballs on the brand and push the Network.
