Between now and April 3 in Dallas, Texas, WWE has to book 16 hours of WWE Raw , eight hours of WWE SmackDown , a three-hour WWE Roadblock , and a four-hour WWE WrestleMania . While trying to figure all of that out, WWE Creative has to deal with injuries from the likes of John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Nikki Bella , Randy Orton, and Cesaro, all scheduled to return at different intervals. Meanwhile, some of the biggest names booked for the biggest event of the year only appear sporadically on weekly WWE programming, including The Undertaker, Triple H, Brock Lesnar, and Shane McMahon.
With 30-plus hours of television to record in the next 30 days (not including any NXT , Superstars , Main Event , NXT TakeOver , or Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony footage) and so many wrestlers unavailable for some or all of the upcoming events, what programs will WWE build through the inaugural Roadblock event that will ultimately culminate at the biggest WrestleMania of all time?
