WWE is winding down the Road to WrestleMania XL amid last-minute pitches and performances. One RAW star has just pitched a historic 'Mania match.

The RAW and SmackDown locker rooms are full of super heavyweights who are looking to dominate The Grandest Stage of Them All. Big E realized this and recently pitched a Meaty Men Invitational for WrestleMania 40. The match would feature "the largest, most bulbous, most girthy men" competing to decide who is the meatiest man.

Bronson Reed is one of the largest superstars on the roster. He took to X tonight to pitch the inaugural Big E Meaty Invitational at WrestleMania to honor the injured multi-time champion. He called on fans to let officials know that the multi-man MeatMania concept needs to happen.

"There are some BIG brothers currently not on this year's #WrestleMania I think its time for @WWEBigE MEATY INVITATIONAL! If you, the WWE universe want it, let your voice be heard!!! #MEATMANIA," Reed wrote.

Ivar is another massive talent on the roster. The Viking Raider quickly responded to Reed's WrestleMania proposal and declared the need to go extra large in Philadelphia next month.

"I want to see wrestlemania XL go EXTRA LARGE! @WWEBigE meaty invitational.... Sign Me Up #MeatMania," Ivar wrote.

The company has not acknowledged the potential Big E Meaty Invitational at WrestleMania XL as of this writing. Big E has not responded to Reed or Ivar, but we may hear more as the company continues to finalize plans for the big event.
