Hey Guys, Phoenix making his debut to the WZ Forums after a while of viewing, I wanted to join the chats.
I was having a good think about theories for all that's going on and I thought, they want people to tune into Wrestlemania but they need to give a great match that hasn't been seen before, this is Wrestlemania 25 and prior to last night, we only had a feeling that we would see a repeat of Wrestlemania 24, no-one wants that.
Since reading the events of NWO, I think that if I was going by logic or best way to sell Wrestlemania, I have two methods. First is having Edge go to Raw. Why? Because in the last Smackdown, he felt that he shouldn't be able to compete in the Chamber match, he lost the title and was angry because his "wife" Vickie did nothing, he took it upon himself to become WHC and could leave for Raw as he's the ultimate opportunist, blaming Smackdown and Vickie for not looking after him and choosing to go to Raw because he will be looked after, then facing Randy Orton for the title.
The other idea is that Edge and Triple H both stay on Smackdown and Randy is asked by Stephanie to be Raw's saviour and bring their title back from Edge.
Reason why I'm behind the idea of Edge going over is because he's faced everyone possible for the title and he needs fresh competition, he's fueded with Taker, Jeff Hardy, Triple H & Koslov for the title and we've seen it too many times. Last time we saw Edge and Orton face (aside from MITB at WM23) was Vengeance for the IC Title and it was one hell of a match! Likewise, Triple H needs to stay because he hasn't fueded with everyone, while Trips can be involved with the Legacy programme, again we saw him with Randy for most of the last year, we don't want that to main event Wrestlemania, also I felt the Royal Rumble was the day he (Randy) officially got over Triple H as a top dog, it's not needed.
Now people mention how Randy is Raw's top heel and shouldn't change, but this could be his change to get the Face run that works for him, how often do they chant 'RKO' rather than boo him of late? He can make the turn similiar to the Rock back in 99 and be completely over even further, yes it could affect the Legacy, but they could turn face too and fued with the likes of Miz and Morrison, etc.
So if you put Edge and Randy together, who does that leave Triple H with? There's one opponent that would put people tuning into WM25....THE UNDERTAKER! Reason being, they had one hell of a match at WM X-Seven and they keep teasing a match, the last they had one, it ended in a DQ from interference. The only reason I say Taker, is because creatively, you know they will put on an excellent match, and Trips wants to be the man who puts the streak to rest (and revenge for X-Seven), you can't predict the outcome with so much creative controversy going into the match as Taker's streak is always the talk of 'Mania now.
Looking at matches, you'd have
WHC Title
Randy Orton vs. Edge
WWE Title
Undertaker vs. Triple H
Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy
Now that's a pretty impressive lineup so far as those matches would be over the top great! Where do you put Cena? Michaels? Possible match there given the involvement Cena in HBK's feud with JBL, yes would be a repeat of WM23, but potential money maker.
Just a theory for what could happen, but I love to hear your feedback
