According to Watchers on the Wall, the cast and crew just wrapped a 55 consecutive night shoot of a massive battle. That length of time more than doubles the amount of time it took to film their previous large-scale action scenes.

Why NXT TakeOver: New Orleans Might Overshadow WrestleMania 34
It's a foregone inevitability these days that NXT: TakeOvers will leave fans saying "Wow, good luck topping that...WWE Sunday Night PPV." Ever since TakeOvers became a regular thing before WWE's Big Four PPV events, they've been the shorter, better-paced, better-booked shows. And TakeOver: New Orleans was no exception. It left viewers wondering how WrestleMania 34 could ever top the thrills and chills it provided.
Now, no one's saying WrestleMania 34 won't have great matches or truly exceptional moments. There are plenty of bouts to look forward to, along with the hotly-anitipated return to the ring by Daniel Bryan. It's going to be seven hours long though. That the two hour pre-show, which will contain two big Battle Royals and the Cruiserweight match, and then a five-hour main show. WrestleMania definitely plays the quantity game. Not just in length, but everyone on the two-brand roster (save for possible a few stragglers) will be on the show. It's not just focused on the most important stories. Everyone gets a seat at the table.

If Baron Corbin Wins the WrestleMania Battle Royal Again Will He Carry Both Trophies Like Owen Hart?
At WrestleMania 34 this Sunday, two men have an opportunity to be the two-time winner of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal - Mojo Rawley and Baron Corbin!
Of course, winning for a second time still means they'll have to outlast and overtake the 29 other men participating in the bout, but "The Lone Wolf" Baron Corbin, who won the event back in 2016, sees this as a chance to make history.
"Everybody's a target in a sense and if you turn your back for a second, it's over," Corbin said. "That's what happened to me in the Royal Rumble. I was busy destroying everybody and Finn Balor snuck up behind me. You have to keep your head on a swivel and remain focused on everyone. Mojo's got a good chance, he's a hell of an athlete. This one's mine though."
