Mayhem Mania Week 3: Graduation Day

THIS. IS. MAYHEM. MANIA!

The bell has rung. The lights are blinding. Chaos is in the air.
This isn’t just fantasy booking—this is a competitive thought experiment where only the strongest ideas survive.

The mission is simple… and brutal:
Create the best WrestleMania card possible within the limits of REALITY.

If WWE could book it, we can book it.

Every year, fans, wrestlers, and mad geniuses collide with one goal—
to build the BEST WrestleMania card that can exist right now.

But there are rules.

Everyone enters Mayhem Mania in their current physical, emotional, and contractual state.

  • Injured? ❌ Not eligible.
  • Under WWE contract? ✅ Fair game.
  • In WWE’s orbit and realistically bookable? ✅ Step right up.

If Paul Levesque can pull it off, so can we.

And this year… the asylum is under new management.
Mad Mike is RUNNING THE SHOW.


🔥 HOW THE CHAOS WORKS 🔥

Every week, players get their shot to change the card.
One move. One decision. Total consequences.

You can:

  • KILL a match and CREATE an entirely new one
  • SWAP an individual or team with another
  • TRADE competitors between existing matches
  • ADD chaos by inserting a new individual or team into a match

But not everyone is available…

Some competitors are locked away in a place known only as
🚀 SPACE JAIL 🚀
(And yes—the inmate list is always watching.)


🏆 THE SUPERCARD 🏆

Matches that prove their worth can GRADUATE to the Mayhem Mania SUPERCARD.

Once a match graduates:

  • 🔒 It’s LOCKED IN
  • ❌ It can no longer be changed
  • ➕ New slots open for even more chaos to be created

Survive the madness.
Earn your place.
Build something legendary.

This isn’t just booking.
This is strategy.
This is competition.

THIS… IS… MAYHEM MANIA. 💥

🚨🚨🚨 WEEK THREE HAS DETONATED THE BOARD. 🚨🚨🚨

No one is safe. Not the veterans. Not the monsters. Not even the matches one week from glory. Mayhem Mania 2026 just took a steel chair to destiny and rewrote the script in permanent marker.

Let’s survey the wreckage.


❌ ELIMINATED

💀 Rhea Ripley vs. Matt Cardona — GONE.
Erased from existence. No appeal. No rematch clause.

📦 El Hijo del Vikingo vs. Sami Zayn (with The Mysterious Box) — DELETED.
We may never know what was inside.
The box remains sealed. The dream is dead.

And in the most heartbreaking twist of the season…

💔 Je’Von Evans vs. Ilja Dragunov — ELIMINATED.
Marco Narcisso’s move shattered its SuperCard hopes just one week away from graduation.
Two weeks of survival.
One week from immortality.
Gone in an instant.

That’s Mayhem Mania.


👑 SUPER CARD GRADUATE

🌟 ZaRuca vs. Bayley / Lyra Valkyria (BayLyra) 🌟 — BOOKED BY EL LUCA

THREE WEEKS STRONG.
They survived the chaos.
They dodged the AKs.
They punched their ticket.

They officially graduate to the SUPER CARD.

And now?
El Luca earns the power to create a brand new match…
And dole out punishment next week.

Hosted by…

🪆 Puppet Vince McMahon.

God help us all.

Here are the matches that lasted this week

EL GRANDE CIVIL WAR SURVIVES

The most confusing, patriotic, technically violent identity crisis in wrestling… LIVES.

El Grande Americano (Original) & Chad Gable
vs.
El Grande Americano & Ludwig Kaiser

Two Grandes.
One name.
Zero clarity.
Maximum disrespect.

On one side, Olympic-level suplex sorcery from Chad Gable paired with the Original Grande — the supposed foundation, the blueprint, the first draft of greatness.

On the other, European precision and smug superiority courtesy of Ludwig Kaiser, aligned with the audacious second coming of El Grande Americano.

This isn’t just a tag match.
This is a copyright dispute settled with German suplexes.

Flags will wave.
Egos will shatter.
And when it’s over, there can only be ONE Grande that matters.

The fact that this match survived Week Three?
Proof that chaos respects technical excellence.


🐊 TRIPLE THREAT CHAOS ENDURES 🐊

The fever dream refuses to die.

Mr. Iguana vs. Yinzuke Nakamura vs. Kit Wilson
— and somehow, against all odds, it survives another week.

The scaly wildcard.
The Strong Style assassin.
And the man who keeps getting thrown into violence like it’s his full-time job.

Representing Pittsburgh swagger and lethal artistry:
Shinsuke Nakamura

Representing “how am I in this again?” energy but still standing tall:
Kit Wilson

And then there’s Mr. Iguana.
Unpredictable. Unhinged. Possibly amphibious.

This match shouldn’t work.
It shouldn’t survive.
It shouldn’t make sense.

And that’s exactly why it does.

Three styles.
Three egos.
One inevitable collision.

Week Three couldn’t kill it.
Week Four is going to have to try harder. 🔥


♣️ CLUBS ARE WILD

Rizz has escalated the battlefield.

♣️ The 7 of Clubs — Jacqueline has been added to:
Royce Keys vs. Oba Femi

The match was already power vs. hunger.
Now it has a wildcard with Hall of Fame attitude.

Royce. Oba. Jacqueline.
This just became volatile.


👑 QUEENS TAKE THE BOARD

Marco Narcisso didn’t just eliminate Je’Von vs. Ilja… he built a throne from its ashes:

Queen of Clubs Alba Fyre & Chelsea Green
vs.
The Beautiful People (Angelina Love & Velvet Sky)

Royalty meets glam royalty.
Attitude meets aesthetic.
And the division just got shaken to its core.


💎 DIAMONDS CUT DEEP

Sorg injected more chaos into the already deranged:

👹 Feltal Four Way
La Yeska vs. Demonito vs. Lilly vs. The Cobra

Now with…
💎 9 of Diamonds — Tony D’Angelo

The Don doesn’t ask permission.
He just enters the match.

This isn’t folklore anymore.
This is organized crime meets nightmare fuel.


🚨 MONSTERS UNLEASHED

The True Prince of Pro made two seismic moves:

💔 Sent the 7 of Hearts — Scott Steiner to Space Jail.
Big Poppa Pump is now cutting promos in zero gravity.

And then…

🔥 Abyss vs. Gunther. 🔥

Violence incarnate vs. The Ring General.
A walking warzone vs. surgical brutality.

This is not a match.
This is structural failure waiting to happen.

Tina Keys made it official:

🔥 Mickie James vs. Blake Monroe — booked by Tina Keys

Tina Keys didn’t book this for nostalgia.
She booked it for pressure.

Can Blake shock the world and carve her name into the spotlight?
Or does Mickie remind everyone exactly why legends don’t fade — they endure?


🚀 SPACE JAIL EXPANDS AGAIN 🚀

The intergalactic penitentiary now holds:

  • ☝️ Roman Reigns
  • 👑 Charlotte Flair (get outta here, Charlotte)
  • 📸 Austin Theory
  • 🔥 AJ Styles
  • 🥊 Logan Paul & Jake Paul (still sharing a cell)
  • 💪 Scott Steiner
  • Elegance Brand

Space Jail has never been this fashionable… or this loud.


THE BOARD AFTER WEEK THREE

✅ ZaRuca vs. BayLyra — GRADUATED
❌ Je’Von vs. Ilja — ELIMINATED
❌ Rhea vs. Cardona — ELIMINATED
❌ Vikingo vs. Sami — ELIMINATED

New monsters have entered.
Wildcards are active.
Clubs and Diamonds are in play.

Next week…
El Luca creates a new match.
Punishment will be dealt.
And it will all be overseen by Puppet Vince McMahon.

Mayhem Mania 2026 isn’t a wrestling event anymore.

It’s a power struggle with entrance music.

And Week Four?

It’s coming. 🔥
