Those are just the confirmed matches so far. I'm also expecting Rusev/Cena again, Rollins/Orton, Goldust/Stardust, Bryan/Ziggler, etc.

Not looking like a strong card to me.

The card looks pretty fun so far to me.

Even though the WWE has moved so far ahead, It's crazy seeing a card with Lesnar, HHH, Taker, and Sting on it at the same time.. even if it is Wrestlemania.

I never thought I would see the day where this card, without any more confirmations yet, was being looked at as a weak card.. times sure have changed.

The other potential matches look solid to me as well. Bryan/Ziggler, two dudes who I consider to be some of my favorites in the ring. Rusev/Cena was my favorite overall match of Fast Lane and I think it would be good.

I don't know if I'd say it was looking like a strong card coming our way, but I don't think it looks bad so far.

It's a shame Roman beat Bryan cleanly and knocked him out of the title picture because I thought the stuff with them over the past few weeks has been good. There's an interesting dynamic between them.

Aside from that week where Cena randomly called Lana a ho, the stuff with him and Rusev has been decent/good.

Sting vs. Triple H confuses me because by positioning it as WCW vs. WWE (as Triple H has been doing in promos lately), they're effectively wanting the crowd to cheer WCW on to victory. I'm actually interested in this match though.

-Wyatt vs. Undertaker I'm not sure on. On paper, this match doesn't pique my interest, but the promos and mind games should make it interesting.
-Rollins/Orton has a simple, but logical story with two guys who can go.
-Goldust vs. Stardust should, if Fast Lane is any indication, have a good story built up in the next month.
-Usos vs. Cesaro and Kidd has actually been a good with integrating the wives, involving them when needed and then letting the teams do their thing. I'd like to see a 2 out of 3 falls match with these guys.

OP, you're not supposed to call it WrestleMania 31, that makes it sound too old! #vincelogic

Sucks that HHH and Wyatt are wasted in two matches I have zero interest in.

Card overall is looking pretty weak. Bryan/Ziggler would be an awesome opener and Cena/Rusev in a rematch could be good (Rusev can't lose). Besides those two matches I'm not seeing anything to be excited for.

It's the official name. No Roman numerals this year.

There was an report going around that Vince didn't want it called by number because it made the show feel old. That's what he's referencing.

Of course, the match previews on the website refer to it as WrestleMania 31, so it's likely that this report was based on someone seeing that the graphic didn't have roman numerals attached and decided to report that Vince hated numbers now.
