It’s not just the ultimate fantasy booking challenge. It’s also a competitive thought experiment!
The object of Mayhem Mania has always been to craft the best WrestleMania card possible within the boundaries of our current reality. That means anyone WWE can book in a match is available to our players.
But this year, there’s a twist! Mayhem Mania 2022 is a two-night event! Night 1 will be the night for our traditional Mayhem Mania card featuring WWE-related matches. But on Night 2, we open the “forbidden door” and make it possible for our players to create matches with anyone outside of WWE.
Every year, we bring together fans, wrestlers and other folks. Our goal is to construct the BEST WrestleMania card that’s currently possible. Everyone under a WWE contract is eligible to use, as are those who are within the orbit of WWE’s influence. If Vince McMahon can do it, we can do it!
There are two “tiers” to Mayhem Mania. The 8-match “undercard”, where our players create and make changes to matches, and the SUPERCARD. To reach the SUPERCARD, a match must survive three rounds on the “undercard” without being altered in any way. So far, only one match has made it.

Raquel Gonzalez vs. Beth Phoenix (Created by Tina Keys)
That’s a pretty darn good match, but we still have a lot of work to do.
Not everyone is eligible to use in Mayhem Mania. They must be under a WWE contract or otherwise within WWE’s orbit of influence. Also, everyone comes in their current physical/contractual/etc. state (We are ignoring COVID-19 diagnoses because this is supposed to be a fun diversion, not a reminder of the terrible things happening around us.). Simply put, if Vince McMahon can’t do it, you can’t do it!
Other wrestlers are not eligible to use because one of our players has sent them to SPACE JAIL.
* “Cell numbers” correspond with the numbers on our prize wheel.
Every week we spin our prize wheel to give one of the SPACE JAIL inmates a chance to escape. Thankfully, SPACE JAIL remained secure this week.
5 players were invited onto the Wrestling Mayhem Show for the latest round of Mayhem Mania 2021. Each can make ONE of the following changes to our card:
– SWAP one wrestler or team with one in another match on the card or replace them with a wrestler or team not currently on the card – ADD a wrestler or team to an existing match – DELETE a match in its entirety and replace it with a new match using entirely new wrestlers – SUBTRACT an individual from an exisiting match. – MATCH SWAP: This year, we have a designated “cinematic match” slot on our card. A player can choose to swap an existing match on the card for the match currently in that “cinematic match” slot.
With all that business out of the way, here’s how things went down during Round 9 of Mayhem Mania.
Move #1 (by Brandon) DELETE Drew McIntyre vs. Adam Cole and CREATE Kevin Owens vs. Matt Martel
Move #2 (by Tina Keys) DELETE Alexa Bliss & Bray Wyatt vs. Taya & Johnny Mundo vs. Rhea Ripley & Aleister Black and CREATE Triple H vs. Karrion Kross

Brandon’s match did not survive the round. However, because next week is the Patreon In The Bank round, the “Alex Kahrs Rule” is not in effect. Sorry, Brandon.
Patreon In The Bank is the grand finale of Mayhem Mania 2021. ONLY Patreon supporters of the Wrestling Mayhem Show will be invited to play during that round, and somehow they must find a way to get seven more matches onto our SUPER CARD.
Every year, we bring together fans, wrestlers and other folks. Our goal is to construct the BEST WrestleMania card that’s currently possible. Everyone under a WWE contract is eligible to use, as are those who are within the orbit of WWE’s influence. If Vince McMahon can do it, we can do it!

We have only one “normal” week left during Mayhem Mania 2021. The grand finale, Patreon In The Bank, is coming up on Tuesday, March 30. ONLY Patreon supporters of the Wrestling Mayhem Show will be invited to play during that round. If you want in, head to patreon.com/wrestlingmayhemshow.

Mayhem Mania 2021: It Begins!
Welcome to another year of everyone’s favorite fantasy/reality booking game: Mayhem Mania!
Every year, we bring together fans, wrestlers and other folks and ask them to help us construct the BEST WrestleMania card that’s currently possible. Everyone under a WWE contract is eligible to use, as are those who are within the orbit of WWE’s influence.
Every wrestler comes in their current physical, emotional and contractual state. That means anyone out with an injury is NOT eligible to use. (We are ignoring COVID-19 diagnoses because this is supposed to be a fun diversion, not a reminder of the terrible things happening around us.)
Over the coming weeks more players will be invited to make changes to our card. If a match survives three consecutive rounds without being altered in any way, it graduates to our SUPERCARD. The goal is to get 8 awesome matches onto that SUPERCARD before the real WrestleMania.
If you’re wondering if this process actually works, check out the SUPERCARDS from past years of Mayhem Mania.
As always, we begin our opening round with a blank slate. 8 players were invited onto the Wrestling Mayhem Show to help us create 8 matches. There is one change from previous years of Mayhem Mania. This year, we’re designating one match slot as the “cinematic match” slot.
Let’s see what everyone came up with.
Mayhem Mania 2021 – Opening Round
Match #1 (Created by Professor Jakob Edwin Sasha Banks vs. Rhea Ripley (with Stephanie McMahon)
Match #2 (Created by Dave Podnar Bray Wyatt & Alexa Bliss vs. Xia Lee & Boa (*Designated As “Cinematic Match”)
Match #3 (Created by Chad The Shad) Imperium (Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner & Alexander Wolfe) vs. Pat McAfee & Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch
Match #4 (Created by Mad Mike) Mercedes Martinez vs. Walter
Match #5 (Created by The Rizz) Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston & AJ Styles vs. Tyler Breeze & Adam Cole & Cesaro
Match #6 (Created by Alex Kahrs) Randy Orton vs. Charlotte Flair
Match #7 (Created by Tina Keys) Daniel Bryan vs. Pete Dunne
Match #8 (Created by Jordan Styles) Big E vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Bronson Reed vs. Dexter Lumis
See how easy that is? What a great start for Mayhem Mania 2021!
There are certainly a number of names that some would prefer NOT to see in a match on Mayhem Mania (or WrestleMania, for that matter). That’s why we created SPACE JAIL! It’s a place where players can trap their most unwanted wrestler. Anyone currently in a match on our card can NOT be sent to SPACE JAIL. They’re safe…for now.
Be warned! Every week a spin of our wheel could free that person and there is NO “double jeopardy”.
We gave each of the seven players who joined us live for the opening round the power to send one individual to SPACE JAIL. Here’s who they chose.
WHO SENT WHO TO SPACE JAIL Dave Podnar: Lacey Evans Chad The Shad: Dominik Mysterio Mad Mike: Brock Lesnar The Rizz: Shane McMahon Alex Kahrs: Velveteen Dream Tina Keys: Ric Flair Jordan Styles: Edge
We’re off to a great start, but Mayhem Mania is rarely a simple process. Next week, we’ll see the first changes to our card.
