Mayham Mania 2020: Round 1

This. Is. Mayhem Mania!

This is the ultimate fantasy booking game. The goal is to create the best WrestleMania card possible – not necessarily to predict what WWE will do. That means we must play by the rules of our current reality. Everyone comes in their current (physical, emotional, psychological, etc.) state. Bottom line, if Vince McMahon can do it, we can do it.

It’s Round 1 of Mayhem Mania 2020. We have 8 matches on our card and it’s time to let our players start making some improvements (we hope) to it. Each of them get to make one change. That can be as simple as swapping out one match for another with entirely new personnel. Or, our players can get a little more creative and swap just one person or team out and into the existing matches. They can also add a person or team to an existing match. The only real limit is the imagination of our players.

Before the start of Round 1 we awarded Tina for winning our Royal Rumble Challenge. She got a ticket to eliminate one person from being used in Mayhem Mania, sending that person through the Forbidden Portal into SPACE JAIL. Tina’s choice was John Cena, but thanks to our new rule for eliminated individuals and a lucky spin of the wheel, Cena escaped from SPACE JAIL!

#MayhemMania teaches us many lessons every year. Last night, it taught @sapphieangel008 that SPACE JAIL CAN NOT CONTAIN @JohnCena!!! @MayhemShow pic.twitter.com/IRjtj59c6N

John Cena is now not only eligible once again to be used in Mayhem Mania but he also can not be sent back this year. That’s right. NO double jeopardy.

With that bit of business out of the way, let’s see what they came up with during Round 1 of Mayhem Mania 2020!

Move 1 (By Billy Johnson)
SWAP Mercedes Martinez for Charlotte Flair

Move 2 (By Mad Mike)
DELETE ADAM COLE & KYLE O’REILLY & RODERICK STRONG VS. SHAYNA BASZLER & JESSAMYN DUKE & MARINA SHAFIR and CREATE AJ Styles & Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows vs. Edge & Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins

Move 3 (By Ronnie Starks)
ADD Adam Cole to Bray Wyatt vs. Finn Balor

Move 4 (By Sorgatron)
ADD Viking Raiders to #DIY vs. Time Splitters

Move 5 (By Ty Cross)
DELETE Elias vs. Tony Nese and CREATE Andrade vs. Aleister Black vs. Pete Dunne

See how simple and painless that was? We’re off to a great start this year in Mayhem Mania. Here are the five newly created matches after Round 1.

Remember, any match that survives three consecutive rounds without being altered in any way will be locked into our SUPERCARD and open up a new spot on our “undercard” for the creation of another match.

Which match do you think will survive to reach our SUPERCARD? Which changes do you want to see? Let us know what you think and we’ll see what happens when another five players step up to the plate for Round 2 of Mayhem Mania 2020.
