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.

Catch up on the lore! Check out the previous rounds of Mayhem Mania 2020!

– Round 3
– Round 4

We have an eight match card and every week we invited five players to each make a single change to it. They can swap one match out for another match featuring entirely new personnel. If they like an individual or tag team in an existing match, they can swap out one of them for another participant. We encourage creativity! This week we also introduced our one-time use only SUBTRACT option, which can remove an individual or team from a multi-person or multi-team match. This one can be used only once during Mayhem Mania 2020, and as you’ll see it went quickly.

If a match survives for three consecutive weeks without being altered in any way it graduates to our SUPER CARD! We’ll have a closer look at that in a few moments.

Not everyone available to WWE is eligible to use in Mayhem Mania. Some of them are locked away in a place we lovingly refer to as SPACE JAIL! But it’s not a life sentence. Every individual who is sent to SPACE JAIL has a weekly chance to escape via a random spin of our modified prize wheel. We spin the wheel once before every round of Mayhem Mania, and this time…

So, Lacey Evans is the latest individual to escape from SPACE JAIL.

Now, let’s check out what our players did with our card during Round 5 of Mayhem Mania 2020. This week, we were joined by one of the hottest young stables in pro wrestling, The 4 Hossmen! They made the final four moves of the round.

He’ll also get to announce the next entrant for the Mayhem Cluster Battle Rumble 2! Chad will also get to hand out a dose of punishment to one of next week’s players. On top of all that, he’ll also create the new eighth match on our “undercard”.
