Mayhem Mania 2022 – Week 7
This. Is. Mayhem Mania!
It’s not just the ultimate fantasy booking challenge. It’s also a competitive thought experiment!
The object of Mayhem Mania is 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 week, we invite players to make a change to one of the matches on our cards. They can: – KILL a match entirely and CREATE a new one with other individuals – SWAP out an individual or team in a match for another individual or team – SWAP out an individual or team in a match with an individual or team in another match already on the card – ADD an individual or team to an existing match
Not everyone is currently eligible to be used in Mayhem Mania. Some are being held in a place we lovingly refer to as SPACE JAIL. Here’s the current inmate count:
Move #1 (by Ronnie Starks a.k.a. “Steve”) ADD Danhausen to The Fiend vs. “Joker” Sting
Move #2 (by Sorgatron) SWAP Jeff Hardy for Jay White
Move #3 (by Roni Nicole) KILL Zombie “Rick Rude” & Ricky Morton & Soultaker & Lord Zoltan vs. Dink & Swoggle & Sunny (1993) & The Executioner and CREATE Naomichi Marafuji & Taiji Ishimori vs. Minoru Suzuki & Tajiri
Move #4 (by Tina Keys) KILL AJ Lee & CM Punk vs. Dr. Britt Baker & Adam Cole and CREATE Bryan Danielson vs. Josh Alexander
Move #5 (by Mad Mike) SWAP Johnny Knoxville and Samoa Joe
So, with the moves from Week 6 of Mayhem Mania now in the books, let’s take a look at what our cards look like.
Night 1 (WWE) has two newly created matches.
Gunther vs. Johnny Knoxville (Created by Mad Mike)
David Arquette vs. Samoa Joe (Created by Mad Mike)
And we have four matches that survived the round without being altered in any way.
Cesaro vs. Dolph Ziggler (Created by Papa Judo)
Ronda Rousey vs. Meiko Satomura (Created by Mad Mike)
Corey Graves vs. Elias (Created by Sorgatron)
Beth Phoenix vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Gonzalez (Created by Dave Podnar)
Night 2 (Forbidden Door) has … newly created matches!
Danhausen vs. The Fiend vs. “Joker” Sting (Created by Ronnie Starks a.k.a. “Steve”)
Jay White vs. Darby Allin vs. Lee Moriarty (Created by Sorgatron)
Naomichi Marufuji & Taiji Ishimori vs. Minoru Suzuki & Tajiri (Created by Roni Nicole)
Bryan Danielson vs. Josh Alexander (Created by Tina Keys)
And there are two matches that were not altered in any way.
Wardlow vs. Nick Gage (Created by Mad Mike)
Guerrillas of Destiny vs. Pretty Boy Killers (Keith Lee & Shane Taylor) (Created by Sorgatron)

Mayhem Mania 2021: Patreon In The Bank
It must be Mayhem Mania season!
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, but that changes in our final round – Patreon In The Bank.
With no more time to wait on matches to GRADUATE, we invite the Patreon supporters of the Wrestling Mayhem Show into the final round of Mayhem Mania, imbue them with the authority to make massive changes to our card and enjoy the pandemonium. Some Patreons were granted the authority to imprison and even FREE individuals from SPACE JAIL! Here’s what it looked like heading into Patreon In The Bank.
SPACE JAIL Tickets can also be earned when a match GRADUATES. The creator of the match gets that reward. In addition, the match creator gets to hand out a dose of “punishment” to another player. Our friend Chad The Shad created a board of random numbers and letters which concealed the names of individuals that the “punished” player would be forced to use.
With only ONE match on our SUPER CARD heading into the Patreon In The Bank round, we had to GRADUATE seven matches! Here’s the record of how it all went down.
Patreon #1: Alex Kahrs (Manager Level Patreon) – FREE Billie Kay from SPACE JAIL – SWAP Cameron Grimes for Reckoning – ADD STIPULATION “WeeLC” to Legado Del Fantasma vs. Breezango & RJ City – AUTO-GRADUATE Legado Del Fantasma vs. Breezango & RJ City to the SUPER CARD – SEND T-Bar to SPACE JAIL

*UPDATE (4/3/2021): Due to unforeseen circumstances, Patreon Kyle Turner was unable to participate in Patreon In The Bank. To show our appreciation for his support, we invited him to add a match to our “undercard”. So, for one week only, we have nine matches on the “undercard”.
“ECW-Style” 4-Way Dance! Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Jordan Devlin vs. Kyle O’Reilly vs. Ilja Dragunov (Created by Kyle Turner)
During the round, our Patreon supporters also had opportunities to book guests for the first-ever Mayhem Mania WAP (Watch Along Party). They’ll join Faye Jackson, who was the first to be booked weeks ago.
We ended up with a very eclectic guest list: – Bad Bunny (Alex Kahrs) – David Arquette (Mad Mike) – Cardi B (D.P.) – Meghan Thee Stallion (Bobbyfjtown) – Iron Sheik (Doc Remedy) – Josiah Williams (Tina Keys) – The Great Khali (The Rizz) – MV Young (Sorg) – The IIconics (Bo Diggity) – Nicki Minaj (Chad)

So there you have it, Mayhem Mania 2021 is in the books. As usual, it was a sometimes messy process, but in the end we got a really solid SUPER CARD. Thanks to everyone who played and everyone who followed along this year!
Mayhem Mania 2021: Round 9
It must be Mayhem Mania season!
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.
MAYHEM MANIA 2021 SUPERCARD
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
Move #3 (by Mad Mike) SWAP Cameron Grimes for Reckoning *This move was VETOED by Chad The Shad
Move #3A (by Mad Mike) DELETE Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kushida vs. Elias vs. Roman Reigns and CREATE Trish Stratus vs. Rhea Ripley
Move #4 (by Chris Taylor) DELETE Kevin Owens vs. Matt Martel and CREATE Hurt Business vs. New Day vs. Street Profits vs. The Usos
Move #5 (by Alex Kahrs) DELETE Sasha Banks vs. Meiko Satomura and CREATE Candice LeRae & Johnny Gargano vs. AJ Lee & CM Punk
Round 9 is in the books, and we have FOUR newly created matches on our “undercard”

Randy Orton vs. Papa Shango (Created by Sorgatron)
Keith Lee vs. Pete Dunne vs. Cesaro vs. WALTER (Created by Chad The Shad)
Cameron Grimes vs. Xavier Woods (Created by Bobbyfjtown)
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!

Every week we spin our prize wheel to give one of the SPACE JAIL inmates a chance to escape, and we had an escape just before Round 8. Shane McMahon is now OUT of SPACE JAIL!
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.

Move #1 (by Chad The Shad) ADD WALTER to Cesaro vs. Pete Dunne vs. Keith Lee
Move #2 (by Bobbyfjtown) DELETE Bayley & Bad Bunny vs. Indi Hartwell & Dexter Lumis and CREATE Legado Del Fantasma vs. Breezango & RJ City

Drew McIntyre vs. Adam Cole (Created by Jim LaMotta)
Cameron Grimes vs. Xavier Woods (Created by Bobbyfjtown)
Kushida vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Elias vs. Roman Reigns (Created by Alex Kahrs)
Alex Kahrs’ match did not survive the round. So, he’ll be invited back next week under the application of the “Alex Kahrs Rule”.
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. Your support will help the show and get you in on the fun.
Thanks for enjoying Mayhem Mania!
Mayhem Mania 2021: Round 6
It must be Mayhem Mania season!
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!

Mayhem Mania 2021 SUPERCARD
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.
When a match graduates, its creator gets REWARDS! So, before Round 6 we had some business to take care of Tina.
First, she got to create a new match to fill the opening on our “undercard” left by the match that graduated. Tina created Big E vs. Bronson Reed.
Second, Tina got to book the first guest for the first-ever Mayhem Mania Watch Along! Tina decided to book Faye Jackson! Great choice!
Third, Tina got a ticket to send one individual to SPACE JAIL! Tina decided to send Asuka – by far, the most popular woman in the history of Mayhem Mania – to SPACE JAIL!
* “Cell numbers” correspond with the numbers on our prize wheel.
Tina said our players need to be challenged, and I really couldn’t agree more. Remember, hurt feelings are a key component of this process.
Anyone who is stuck in SPACE JAIL can NOT be booked in a match in Mayhem Mania. They can escape via a lucky spin of our prize wheel.
Under the rules of Mayhem Mania, everyone 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.)
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.
Finally, as part of her rewards for creating a graduated match, Tina got to hand out a dose of “punishment” to one of this week’s players. The “punishment” was that the player would have to use an individual randomly chosen for them by the “Wheel Of NXT UK”. Tina chose to punish The Rizz.
With all that business out of the way, let’s take a look at the changes made during Round SIX of Mayhem Mania 2021!
Move #1 (by Brandon) ADD Damien Priest to Finn Balor vs. Aleister Black vs. Karrion Kross
Move #2 (by Mad Mike) SWAP Roman Reigns and Cesaro
Move #3 (by Dave “D.P.” Podnar) DELETE Tommaso Ciampa vs. Roman Reigns and CREATE Johnny Gargano & Candice LeRae vs. Dexter Lumis vs. Indi Hartwell
Move #4 (by Sorgatron) ADD Elias to Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kushida
Move #5 (by The Rizz) (*The “Wheel Of NXT UK” decided he must book A-Kid) DELETE Becky Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Toni Storm and CREATE A-Kid vs. Dolph Ziggler
Round 6 is in the books, and we have FIVE newly created matches on our “undercard”
Johnny Gargano & Candice LeRae vs. Dexter Lumis vs. Indi Hartwell (Created by Dave “D.P.” Podnar)
A-Kid vs. Dolph Ziggler (Created by The Rizz)
“THE DEMON” Finn Balor vs. Aleister Black vs. Karrion Kross vs. Damien Priest (Created by Brandon)
Keith Lee vs. Pete Dunne vs. Cesaro (Created by Mad Mike)
Kushida vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Elias (Created by Sorgatron)
Here are the three matches that survived the round without being altered in any way.
Bray Wyatt & Alexa Bliss vs. Johnny Mundo & Taya vs. Bad Bunny & Bayley (Created by Alex Kahrs) (*Designated as “cinematic match”)
Adam Cole vs. Daniel Bryan (Created by HEEL Bradley)
Big E vs. Bronson Reed (Created by Tina Keys)
Mad Mike will be back next week under the “Alex Kahrs Rule”, which governs a match that does not survive the round in which it was created.
Keep following along to find out what happens next. Thanks for supporting Mayhem Mania!
Mayhem Mania 2021: Round 5
It must be Mayhem Mania season!
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!
Not every WWE wrestler is eligible to use. Under the rules of Mayhem Mania, everyone 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.)
Others are not eligible to use for a different reason. Some of them are locked in SPACE JAIL.
* “Cell numbers” correspond with the numbers on our prize wheel.
SPACE JAIL is not a life sentence. A lucky spin of our prize wheel can free one of them, and it happened again before Round 5. Randy Orton escaped SPACE JAIL. Remember, there is no “Double Jeopardy” so he can’t be sent back.
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 – 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, let’s take a look at the changes made during Round FIVE of Mayhem Mania 2021!
Move #1 (by Brandon) DELETE Asuka vs. Meiko Satomura and CREATE Kushida vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
Move #2 (by The Rizz) DELETE Bad Bunny & Adam Pearce vs. Pat McAfee & Rob Gronkowski and CREATE Asuka vs. Meiko Satomura
Move #3 (by Alex Kahrs) ADD Bad Bunny & Bayley to Bray Wyatt & Alexa Bliss vs. Johnny Mundo & Taya
Move #4 (by Bobbyfjtown) SWAP Samoa Joe for “The Demon” Finn Balor
Move #5 (by HEEL Bradley) DELETE Asuka vs. Meiko Satomura and CREATE Adam Cole vs. Daniel Bryan
Round 5 is in the books, and we have four newly created matches on our “undercard”
Bray Wyatt & Alexa Bliss vs. Johnny Mundo & Taya vs. Bad Bunny & Bayley (Created by Alex Kahrs) (*Designated as “cinematic match”)

Finally, we have the FIRST match to graduate to this year’s SUPERCARD!
Raquel Gonzalez vs. Beth Phoenix (Created by Tina Keys)
A match graduates if it survives THREE rounds without being altered in any way. Tina created our first graduated match and she will receive rewards! She will get to hand out a dose of PUNISHMENT to one of next week’s players. She will get a ticket to send one individual to SPACE JAIL. She’ll also get to name a participant in our first-ever Mayhem Mania WATCH PARTY! Tina will also create a new match to fill the open slot on our “undercard”. Our goal is to GRADUATE eight matches to our SUPERCARD by the time Mayhem Mania 2021 comes to an end.
The Rizz will be back next week under the “Alex Kahrs Rule”, which governs a match that does not survive the round in which it was created.
One more note: SPACE JAIL has a new resident. Mad Mike used the ticket he earned in our Elimination Chamber Challenge contest mid-round, and sent Pat McAfee to SPACE JAIL.
It’s been a wild ride so far, but we’re finally making some progress with the first match now on our SUPERCARD. Keep following along to find out what happens next. Thanks for supporting Mayhem Mania!
Mayhem Mania 2021: Round 4
It must be Mayhem Mania season!
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!
Not every WWE wrestler is eligible to use. Under the rules of Mayhem Mania, everyone 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.)
Others are not eligible to use for a different reason. Some of them are locked in SPACE JAIL.
* “Cell numbers” correspond with the numbers on our prize wheel
SPACE JAIL is not a life sentence. A lucky spin of our prize wheel can free one of them. Fortunately, that did not happen before Round 4 and SPACE JAIL remains secure…for now.
5 players were invited onto the Wrestling Mayhem Show for Round 4 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 – 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, let’s take a look at the changes made during Round FOUR of Mayhem Mania 2021!
Move #1 (by Brandon) DELETE Io Shirai vs. Rey Mysterio and CREATE Toni Storm vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Becky Lynch
Move #2 (by Mad Mike) DELETE Elias & Drew McIntyre & Jinder Mahal vs. Damien Priest & Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch and CREATE Bray Wyatt & Alexa Bliss vs. Johnny Mundo & Taya
Move #3 (by Tina Keys) DELETE The IIconics vs. Riott Squad and CREATE Tommaso Ciampa vs. Cesaro
Move #4 (by The Rizz) DELETE Finn Balor vs. Kyle O’Reilly vs. Timothy Thatcher vs. Ilja Dragunov and CREATE Asuka vs. Meiko Satomura
Move #5 (by Chad The Shad) DELETE Mercedes Martinez vs. Sasha Banks and CREATE Pat McAfee & Rob Gronkowski vs. Adam Pearce & Bad Bunny
With Round 4 in the books, we now have FIVE new matches on our card.
Bray Wyatt & Alexa Bliss vs. Johnny Mundo & Taya (Created by Mad Mike) (*Designated as “cinematic match”)
Tommaso Ciampa vs. Cesaro (Created by Tina Keys)
Toni Storm vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Becky Lynch (Created by Brandon)
Adam Pearce & Bad Bunny vs. Pat McAfee & Rob Gronkowski (Created by Chad The Shad)

Raquel Gonzalez vs. Beth Phoenix (Created by Tina Keys)
Samoa Joe vs. Karrion Kross vs. Aleister Black (Created by “The Rev” Ron Hunt)
Keith Lee vs. Pete Dunne vs. Roman Reigns (Created by Alex Kahrs)
If a match survives THREE rounds without being altered in any way, it will GRADUATE to our SUPERCARD. The creator of the match will receive rewards, including creating a new match to fill the open slot on our “undercard”. Our goal is to GRADUATE eight matches to our SUPERCARD by the time Mayhem Mania 2021 comes to an end.
One final note: Following Round 4, Chad The Shad used the two SPACE JAIL tickets he earned in our Royal Rumble contest to send BOTH IIconics – Peyton Royce and Billie Kay – to SPACE JAIL. In the process, the devious Chad exposed DEEP divides among the Mayhem Mania players in regards to how they desperate they are to see The IIconics in a Mayhem Mania.
Do The IIconics deserve to be in SPACE JAIL? What matches do you want to see us make? The only way to find out is to keep following Mayhem Mania 2021!
Mayhem Mania 2021: Round 3
It must be Mayhem Mania season!
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!
Not every WWE wrestler is eligible to use. Under the rules of Mayhem Mania, everyone comes in their current physical, emotional and contractual state. That means anyone out with an injury is NOT eligible to use.

Others are not eligible to use for a different reason. Some of them are locked in SPACE JAIL.
* “Cell numbers” correspond with the numbers on our prize wheel
SPACE JAIL is not a life sentence. A lucky spin of our prize wheel can free one of them, and that’s exactly what happened before Round 3. The prize wheel freed Ric Flair.
There’s no “double jeopardy” so anyone who escapes can not be locked up again during Mayhem Mania 2021.
5 players were invited onto the Wrestling Mayhem Show for Round 2 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 – 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, let’s take a look at the changes made during Round THREE of Mayhem Mania 2021!
Move #1 (by Sorgatron) DELETE Walter vs. Goldberg and CREATE Elias & Drew McIntyre & Jinder Mahal vs. Damien Priest & Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch
Move #2 (by Bobbyfjtown) DELETE Bray Wyatt & Alexa Bliss vs. Daniel Bryan & Nikki Cross and CREATE Io Shirai vs. Rey Mysterio

Our goal is to GRADUATE eight matches to our SUPERCARD by the time Mayhem Mania 2021 comes to an end.
One final note: Following Round 3 Mad Mike used one of the SPACE JAIL tickets he earned in our Royal Rumble contest to send Austin Theory to SPACE JAIL.
