*MERGED* General WrestleMania 27 Discussion & Predictions

[TheRealDeal]

Assuming the creative team wants to stick with their John Cena vs Miz and Randy Orton vs CM Punk.. Here is how I think it will happen..

Before Wrestlemania:​

Royal Rumble 2011:
​

It all goes down to Cena winning the Rumble.. Yes, I think it may happen.. 2008's Rumble had Cena winning and ended up losing at WM24.. So yeah, the only way will have Miz retain after Riley interrupts or something and have Orton go down in desperation.. Punk cuts a promo saying Orton is weak and Punk could have taken down Miz anyway.. With Smackdown, Edge will most probably retain and bring the title to Mania with him..

Elimination Chamber 2011:
​

RAW: It all goes down to Punk, Orton and Miz at the Chamber.. Punk eliminates Orton after some Heel tactics.. Miz eliminates Punk and yet again retains.. Orton eventually challenges Punk at WM 27 after Punk's badmouthing of Orton and his way of eliminating Orton..

Smackdown: Don't know how this may end up.. But it could just be Edge retaining.. Seeing that Christian will make a return at WM27 and maybe could be a buildup to an Edge vs Christian for the WHC..

The big day is here, Wrestlemania 27:​

Big Show vs Drew Mcintrye:
Winner: Drew Mcintrye

- We could see this happen and well we want to see this happen after Drew saved Kelly Kelly from Big Show or something.. Show gets angered in some day from Smackdown and smacks Mcintrye.. Mcintrye challenges Show and pulls of a surprising win..

Unification Title Match:
Daniel Bryan (c) vs Kofi Kingston (c)
Winner: Daniel Bryan
- If it's going to happen, It's going to happen at Mania.. The way I see it, these guys will probably remain champion until Wrestlemania.. Daniel could be the winner here, we could see a solid match between these two.. A great way to start the event..

Unified Tag Team Title Match:
Four Corners Elimination:
Santino/Kozlov (c) vs The Usos vs Harris/McGuilligilty vs Gabriel/Slater

Winners: Gabriel/Slater

- The only way I think the Nexus and Part of the Nexus gets booked.. They maybe the only tag team left, and for what it's worth Gabriel and Slater will bring the title to Smackdown with them... They will resume as a tag team for a long term [IMO]..

Money in the Bank Ladder Match:
Winner: John Morrison

- Not sure on who might be participating the match, but I have a good feeling that JoMo might be there and win it.. First, it's part of his push and second he won't win the rumble and definetly not EC.. This could be a great way to break JoMo's early success at 2011..

Triple H vs "King" Sheamus
Winner: Triple H

I definetly see this happening, after a good match last year. I am certain that the creative team won't mind having a rematch for this.. HHH returns at Rumble eliminates Sheamus and ends the feud at Mania with HHH winning twice..

Alberto Del Rio vs Kane
Winner: Alberto Del Rio via Submission

- Kane just got out of being a World Heavyweight Champion and would definetly not skip Mania.. Del Rio for some reason would not be in the MITB.. It may be too early for him and plus JoMo needs his push... I can defintely see this happening.. Del Rio calls out for something like a Masterlock Challenge, Kane comes out or even a Del Rio eliminating Kane at the Rumble feud.. Though it may not seem as a big match, it could be a good push to ABD..

WWE Championship Match:
John Cena vs The Miz
Winner: John Cena

- John Cena wins, cuts a promo about it the next night on RAW and starts dissing the former champions.. Vinnie Mac wants to make Cena a big heel, what would a big heel be without a champion to make the fans even hate them more..

Divas Match:
Natalya vs ? [probably LayCool or Melina]
Winner: ?

- Bathroom Break for me, I won't even care who wins it.. Probably if Melina could be in this match, she would win it and well resume her Heel Reign as a champion.. Like I said, I won't even care

Wade Barret vs Undertaker
Winner: Undertaker

- Zilch to Brock Lesnar at WM 27 and John Cena would not be facing him either.. They may be saving Cena v Taker for WM28.. The only person left for Taker to face is Barret.. Barret helped Kane bury the Undertaker and Kane wouldn't face Undertaker AGAIN for the 3rd time.. Taker would win it, extend his streak and get in a feud with Barret.. Barret and Taker exchange wins until Barret is ready for a championship..

CM Punk vs Randy Orton
Winner: Randy Orton

- I could see Orton getting a fresh win at Mania since he is the face and well I can't imagine Punk getting the win.. Could be a good match though since these two are has good in-ring skills.. Orton ends it with 2 RKO's for the Win.. They both feud until Fatal-4-Way where both exchange wins..

World Heavyweight Championship Title Match:
Edge (c) vs Christian
Winner: Christian

- Ok, well I am not one of those dream guys who say THIS WILL DEFINETLY HAPPEN... I am not a 100% certain but I am speculating on who would be the contender.. For sure it won't be Ziggeler as I see him and Mysterio in the Money in the Bank Match.. Think about it.. They won't put Kane: as he just ended his feud with Edge.. Mysterio may be a choice but I think the creative team is not as desperate as that.. Del Rio has just started in the company and I definetly see him as a midcarder.. Christian is said to make a return in WM27... Christian challenges Edge a couple weeks before WM 27 on Smackdown.. Think about it, he is the only person that could make a reasonable chemistry between Edge and I am sure Vinnie Mac has figured it out by now.. So, Christian wins it ends the night as a face champion and few weeks after that as a heel... The crowd may not be behind Christian's reign as a champion but they're definetly aware of who Christian is.. The People's Peep..

 

[Kofi/ZigglerClassic]

Yeah I'm curious why doesn't WWE book a Cena/Undertaker match for mania? It can't be because they are both faces because they've had many face vs face matches before for mania like Hogan/Warrior.

 

[Cookie14]

It seems as if all of the matches at WrestleMania for Raw have already practically been confirmed, at least in principle.
You have CM Punk vs Cena and Orton vs Miz. It even looks like we will see Jerry Lawler wrestle either Michael Cole or Alex Riley. And you can pretty much guarantee Santino & Kozlov will face the Uso's (both teams already signed to Raw).

There doesn't seem to be anything planned for SmackDown wrestlers to do at WrestleMania. It looks like Undertaker will face Wade Barrett (who was on Raw until two weeks ago).
Beyond this match, there seems to be no plans.

Personally, I would like to see Edge vs Del Rio vs Ziggler for the WHC, and I can see Kofi vs Swagger for the IC title. Could even have Big Show vs Kane, would be more interesting than having them in the Money in the Bank match.

I have two questions for you.
Why does SmackDown seem to have been overlooked for the run up to WM so far (or do you disagree with my opinion on this? If so, why?)
What matches would you like to see for the blue brand at WrestleMania?

 

[moneymaker90]

First there probably won't be a MTIB ladder match because WWE already has a date for the MITB PPV and I don't believe they are repeating it at WM.

If it is confirmed that Barrett is "promised" to Taker and Christian is not returning in time for WM my personal choice would be Swagger vs Edge for the WHC. Since I know there is no chance in hell of this happening, what I think it will happen is Edge vs Mysterio/Big Show/rumble winner.

Smackdown is always overlooked because people believe that Raw is bigger, however i have no doubt in my mind that Vince has very detailed plans for the blue team.

 

[Rahkeyshe]

WWE Championship
The Miz (c) vs CM Punk vs John Cena


For being such a damn good worker/promo guy down the stretch last year, Miz retains at RR (Jericho run in) and EC (Riley interference) and gets to headline Wrestlemania. However, due to the fact that Vince isn't 100% sure on how much drawing power he would have (and the biggest match of his career) he has Punk and Cena make it a triple threat match. This helps carry Miz through such a big event, rewards him for his work, and could provide a great match.



World Heavyweight Championship
Wade Barrett vs The Undertaker vs Edge (c)

With how much time the Undertaker has missed and how injured he always seems to be of late, putting him in a triple threat match seems like the best plan to me. There's no way to replicate his Wrestlemania performances of the last two years, and there's a fear that he cannot carry a match by himself at this point (again, due to injuries). A triple threat match can hide some weaknesses while leaving a couple spots open where he can do something memorable. Essentially, with a triple threat he can appear to put on a better performance than he really can. He's already stated he wanted a match with Wade, and it also leave a conclusion available to benefit both his legacy as well as the putting over of Barrett: Barrett winning by pinning Edge. Undertaker would still not have been pinned at Wrestlemania, and Barrett can use the Wreslemania victory over the Undertaker to springboard a great career for the future. Plus, if this is his last Wrestlemania, Taker deserves for it to be a title match.



Chris Jericho vs Randy Orton

Triple H vs Sheamus


These two write themselves with revenge plots.



Dolph Ziggler vs John Morrison

I couldn't find a place to fit Dolph, as I think he'll have two solid yet unsucessful Title attempts at RR and EC and will be too "big" of a guy for the MITB match. Then I thought about how Morrison has been pushed hard just like Dolph on Raw, gives us a Face/Heel matchup, and with Zigglers newfound "Legit" maineventer status can get Morrison over the hump as well.


Title Unification (US & Intercontinental)
Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan


Money in the bank
Alberto Del Rio vs Kane vs Cody Rhodes vs R-Truth vs Ted DiBiase vs Jack Swagger vs Drew Mcyntire vs Alex Riley vs Rey Mysterio vs Christian


Basically, every big name that I couldn't find a spot for I put here.



Big Show vs Mason Ryan

The continuation of a monster push for Ryan

Tag Team Titles:
Santio & Koslov (c) vs Gabriel/Ezekiel

 

[WJDwjdWJDwjd]

Raw looks pretty predictable right now with storylines. I love how mysterious Smackdown seems as far as storylines going into 'Mania go. It could almost be anyone going into Wrestlemania fighting for the championship. Personally, I believe if any of the World Championships are switched between now and 'Mania, Edge is the one who will be dethroned. WWE is really high on The Miz right now and usually one Heavyweight crown changes at February. This leaves Edge as the odd man out if a championship changes hands. Who the title would go to is another story. I don't believe there are really any other people on the Blue brand that could hold the title right now and put on a high profile match at 'Mania.

As for the 'Mania Smackdown main event match, I think a Triple Threat or even a Fatal Four Way would be the way to go. I definitely could see Edge vs ADR vs Rey Mysterio and maybe throw in Dolph Ziggler if a fourth needs to be added. It looks like Wade Barrett's group will be feuding with Big Show. I'd look for some kind of tag match involving Show and Zeke as the main attractions. Barrett vs Undertaker is the expected match for the Phenom. Overall, I don't think the card for the Blue brand will be disappointing, it just might feel more rushed than the Red brand's matches.

 

[Notorious718]

Smackdown gets overlooked because RAW is the flagship show. Seems to be the logical answer anyway. Keep in mind that Smackdown superstars have been showing up on RAW recently, most likely to showcase themselves so fans will vest more interest in the blue brand.

I do expect expect big things for Alberto Del Rio at Wrestlemania. He probably won't main event this early in his WWE career (although he IS handling his push very well). If WWE decides to hold a MITB match at the PPV, then I can easily see Del Rio winning the title shot. Or he could be involved in a somewhat high profile match with the popular Christian assuming he gets back in time. Too early to tell really. I'm not sure if it's because creative has surprises in store for the blue brand or they really have no plans for Smackdown but I've always been fond of the talent on that show so I'll probably be happy with whatever:

 

[Notorious718]

Oh yeah, and I can see Barrett's new Nexus faction raising hell on Smackdown leading to a feud with a returning Undertaker. They do have a little history. Maybe have Undertaker systematically eliminate each member before getting Barrett one on one at the big event. And if that doesn't happen, have Barrett's faction clash with Punk's faction in the Royal Rumble match and plant the seeds for a war between the two Nexus groups that would culminate at Wrestlemania. Could work.

 

[Kaneanite]

I'm hoping the Cena/Nexus angle ends at the Royal Rumble, along with Miz's title reign (or at Elimination Chamber). I really don't want to see Miz vs Cena. I think Miz vs Morrison in a singles match would be better. Give them 25 minutes to hammer each other and show the world on the biggest stage why they are the future of the WWE, with Morrison going over to show he is main-event worthy too (Miz, in a way, is already over - or at least more over than Morrison).

Nexus vs Barrett's new group would be a nice change. Big tag team match at mania worth watching. I honestly love both Barrett and Punk so I wouldn't mind who won.

Barrett, Slater, Gabriel, Big Zeke, and Skip Sheffield vs CM Punk, David Otunga, Husky Harris, Michael McGillicutty, and Mason Ryan. Maybe have Otunga's "big moment" that in a way they have been teasing for awhile now and have him stand tall.

I know this won't happen, and many people are against it, but I would love Cena v Orton at WM. Think of the draw this would have. My my... This would be a monster seller.

You'll probably also have HHH v Sheamus 2.0. I'm not complaining about it, this match is whatever to me.

Edge vs Del Rio can be the match that helps get another one of the big future stars over in Del Rio. As much as it pains me because I'm a huge Edge fan, I wouldn't mind seeing Del Rio go over as champ at mania. It's not too soon, seriously. Del Rio is gold.

Undertaker needs a match.... well so might Chris Jericho. Those two would be another monster seller. Jericho vs Undertaker in a last man standing match. Jericho deserves a shot at Takers streak and these two could (well Jericho can... not sure about Undertakers current state but it really doesn't matter) put on a great match.

You can't leave out the other future stars, mainly Ziggler. If there is no MiTB type match, there should be a #1 contenders match. Have Ziggler, Rhodes, McIntyre, and Big Show battle it out and maybe even throw a good stipulation in there. Big Show can get the draw, and maybe have a face McIntyre win to face off with Del Rio after Mania.

So my dream card would look something like:

Morrison vs Miz - Singles Match

HHH vs Sheamus - Singles Match

Big Show vs Ziggler vs Rhodes vs McIntyre

Nexus vs *SPOILER* The Core

Edge vs Del Rio - World Heavyweight Championship

Undertaker vs Jericho - Last Man Standing

John Cena vs Randy Orton - WWE Championship



With obviously Rey, Kofi, and others needing matches. Though maybe they could both fit in that #1 contenders match against Big Show, Ziggler, etc.

 

[MonkeyRko]

this maybe the worst wrestlemania EVER!! none of these matches seem like blockbuster matches. after 10 years since one of the greatest mania's im disappointed.

 

[Poop Master Flex]

As of right now I'm hoping wrestlemania looks something like this and I'm going for predictions that are at least REALISTIC and don't involve people like Jericho or the Rock:

Triple Threat for the WWE Title: Miz vs. Cena vs. Punk
-Cena and Punk HAVE to face each other at mania so putting them in a match with Miz (especially with Miz's interactions with Cena) makes perfect sense

World Heavyweight Title: Edge vs. Orton
- I just don't think Del Rio or Ziggler should be in the main event at WM just yet. Orton should and him and Edge have history. It would be a great feud and a great match so why not? Besides Cena vs. Orton has been done WAY TOO MUCH.

Undertaker vs. Wade Barrett
- I think this is the most obvious match on the card. It works with Barretts Nexus burying him alive and Barrett could really use a match like this. He'll lose but possibly look a 1000 times better in doing so.

6 man tag: Nexus vs. Corre
- Since the core is only 3 guys without barrett I think this would be a good match to go with.

MITB: Morrison, Ziggler, Del Rio, Kofi, Bryan and Kane.
- Only naming 6 because I always felt thats when MITB was at its best.

fatal 4 way for the Diva's title: Natalya vs. Kong vs. Phoenix vs. McCool
- These 4 would put on a great title match and I think it would be a pleasant surprise for Mania seeing a rock solid diva's title match (last good one I can remember was WM22 with Trish vs. Mickie).

WCW match: Big Show vs. Goldberg
- This match is thrown on for pure nostalgia factor, besides who wouldn't want to see show get Jackhammered one more time. I would have used Sting also but it sounds like he's TNA bound.

HHH vs. Sheamus
- Was done last year but its really the only thing for both guys.

I'll leave filler matches out but with WM coming up and with nothing really planned these would be some matches I think would really work. As long as Cena and Punk are in a match together I'll be happy (seriously, Punk is their best heel and DESERVES a big match at Wrestlemania).

 

[Pole Smoker]

I really want to see Alberto Del Rio vs Edge for the WHC at Wrestlemania. My predictions as of now for the big matches are:

The Miz (c) vs John Cena - WWE Championship

Randy Orton vs CM Punk

Wade Barrett vs The Undertaker

Edge (c) vs Alberto Del Rio - World Heavyweight Championship

Triple H vs Sheamus

But of course so much can happen from now until then

I hope that Sheamus and the game don't wrestle though as the feud would be predictable. I hope they sort it on Raw or at EC.

 

[Kofi/ZigglerClassic]

Out of all the rumored WM 27 matches which one sounds like it will be the best?

Miz vs Cena

Undertaker vs Barrett

Orton vs Punk

HHH vs Sheamus


Imo, Orton and Punk. The promos between these two will be entertaining and I think the different styles in wrestling will make it an awesome match. Plus I'm interested to see how CM Punk's Sadist character deals with Orton's psychotic renegade Viper character. Everything else at WM 27 besides HHH and Sheamus III sounds mediocre at best.

 

[OWEN-ing It All]

Any number of matches are possible. Creative must have more cards in mind than I do. Because God knows I've re thought too many times to count.

As of right now I think the only match that is set in stone is:

Triple H vs. Sheamus

Beyond that it's a toss up. Everything is resting on who will return in time, is able to compete, and is able to handle a full length match.

But I'm going to try and build each possible scenario.

Because let's face it if Taker isn't 100%, he may just get thrown in a tag match. Which I've been saying for months. It's either Barrett-Taker one on one or Big Show & Taker vs. Ezekiel Jackson & Wade Barrett. Kane & Skip Sheffield could be inserted here and make for either a handicap match or have Kane & Big Show recruit Kane to be a teammate. Those are the only scenarios I see for Taker.

Orton vs. Jericho is a pretty safe bet. But I wouldn't be surprised if Punk is thrown in and a Triple Threat takes place.

Nexus vs. The Core vs. The Usos vs. Santino & Kozlov - Tag Title Match

It's either all 4 teams or 2 of them......another safe bet.

The rest is pretty much anybody's guess. I'm going to make 2 cards. One is a DREAM CARD and the other is a REALISTIC CARD.

[DForce]

For me it would have been Cena vs. Undertaker, but now it seems that it's going to be Barrett vs. Taker, which is stupid to me. I mean in the past the Undertaker had these awesome Mania opponents. Such cards built anticipation, like this is going to be the guy to end the streak. Now, you have Barrett, who's an excellent performer, don't get me wrong, but he hasn't established himself as someone that can defeat Taker.

 

[kingjaekob]

I dont like any of the matches! Undertaker vs Barrett, Taker easy win! Barrett still has not had the proper superstar character build up! Vince messed up the whole Nexus thing, nothing really happened! And they say they are the most powerful group every established in WWE! What? How bout DX, Nation of Domination, NWO, just to name a few! I dont like Cena vs Miz! Miz needs a little bit weaker oppenent at this time! Like Morrison! Looks like ANOTHER bad Wrestlemania!

 

[Quoted For Emphasis]

Well. Let's see...

Miz vs Cena: Not real excited for this. I find Miz to be getting better, but still on the boring side. Cena, his promo's are great, but your match's aren't something to brag about. The preceding promos will be the key to the success or failure of this match.

Undertaker vs Barrett: This is probably going to be my pick. I'm curious of the story behind why Nexus did what it did. I was there live and was so utterly confused, plus an Undertaker streak match normally is quality wrestling at its best. This is my pick for most excited and anticipated match at WM27.

Orton vs Punk: This will be the best MATCH of WM27. These guys are unparalleled in the ring. Orton is great in the ring, he has a different look, his in ring work just really sells his gimmick. Punk is no different. Fantastic in ring performer, and his move-set is one of the most entertaining bar none. Very excited to see how this match comes together and how it plays out live.

HHH vs Sheamus: This match i'm not really looking forward to. The build-up will be the most exciting part of this feud. It's pretty evident how this is going to go down. Not too many surprises, look for a clean win by one or the other.

So, i'm most excited to see Barrett vs Taker, but in my opinion Orton vs Punk will be the best match of the night.

 

[FitFinlay4Life]

Miz vs Cena
This has been done before, it brings nothing new to the table - I'm guessing most of us can imagine how this match'll play out.

Undertaker vs Barrett
A new feud but Taker is struggling with injuries and Barrett is no HBK.

HHH vs Sheamus
While a logical conclusion/ forwarding of a feud, this is still a refried storyline.

Orton vs Punk
YES!!! This one really does stir my imagination and while it'll not be the main event - it will be the match to steal the show ala HBK/ Undi this last two years.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

For me it would have been Cena vs. Undertaker, but now it seems that it's going to be Barrett vs. Taker, which is stupid to me. I mean in the past the Undertaker had these awesome Mania opponents. Such cards built anticipation, like this is going to be the guy to end the streak. Now, you have Barrett, who's an excellent performer, don't get me wrong, but he hasn't established himself as someone that can defeat Taker.

Why does he need to be established to beat Undertaker. Fact of the matter is, if Undertaker wants Barrett to be the guy to end the streak he will be the guy to end it and we have to live with it.

I'm curious as well as to why Barrett and Nexus buried the Undertaker and I think they can make a good storyline out of it because it's somewhat recent so it hasn't been forgotten. This would be great for guys like Gabriel, Slater, and Jackson to rub elbows with the Undertaker if the match were to happen.

 

[Serious Jones]

The Miz vs John Cena. All of the other choices would be very good matches, but have something hindering them. Triple H vs Sheamus has been done before at 'Mania, and while it would be a good match, it would probably be pretty similar to their last encounter. With Randy Orton vs CM Punk, it doesn't seem like their styles would mesh well. Punk is at his best when he's working at a fast pace, and Orton has that infamous methodical style. As for The Undertaker vs Wade Barrett, Undertaker can't go like he used to, and this is missing two factors that have made The Undertaker's last two Wrestlemania matches great: An opponent with the storytelling capacity of Shawn Michaels and the possibility that the streak could actually end. While it was plausible that Shawn Michaels could've ended the streak, virtually no one thinks that Wade Barrett could realistically pull it off.

John Cena vs. The Miz would be a great match because of the story. What The Miz lacks in the ring, he more than makes up for with storytelling. He's a Cinderella story, just from the dark side. He's made it to the top and won the WWE Title, but he still has one thing left to do: Defeat John Cena on the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania. And while people knock both guys for not being technically sound in the ring, they're both psychologically sound. From bell to bell, psychology would be used and a story would be told. It would be much more than "This guy wants the title, and this guy wants to keep it." The belt probably wouldn't even be the focal point of the feud, and that's okay.

Any of the matches listed have the potential to be great matches, but John Cena vs. The Miz has the greatest chance of getting the fans talking before the match, entertaining them during the match, and keeping them talking afterwards.

 

[Little Stinger At Heart]

I was at WM last year...my thing is, didn't we already have HHH vs Sheamus at WM? this fued isn't like the HBK vs Undertaker...they shouldn't have the same match at 2 consecutive WM unless we can really expect it to draw...I'm afraid this WM is going to suck balls...I'm not buying...

 

[MizFit]

Miz Vs Cena

I would absolutely love to see these two get a real feud. This would do wonders for the Miz if done correctly. If Miz gets to go head to head with the number one guy in the company, he can gain some great credibility if he comes off looking strong in either a win or loss. I would definitely look forward to this match.

Undertaker Vs Barrett

I'm not so crazy about this one, although it is the most likely to happen out of all of these. Barrett definitely is no Shawn Michaels, and I question if he can put on a phenomenal match with Taker at Mania. I guess there is the speculation of why Nexus attacked The Undertaker, so that will provide a story. I wouldn't necessarily like to see this match, but I wouldn't be all up in arms about it.

Orton Vs Punk

This one got my vote. Two great in ring performers going at it on the grandest stage of them all. These two have never really crossed paths with each other, and now would be a great time to do it. I would love to see this IF it happens. I say that because the way things look now, we'll probably have Punk take on Cena. But you never know.

HHH Vs Sheamus

Meh. Not very interesting in my mind. It's inevitable though, and will probably happen. It's a classic grudge match where one guy wants vengeance against the man who injured him and put him out. I've seen enough off this feud.

 

[lazeric]

CAUTION!!!! We have no idea if Taker will even be ready for Mania and furthermore until at least after Royal Rumble we still dont have any indiction that any of these matches are going to happen. Usually someone returns at Rumble and theres quite a few names being from HHH to Batista to even The Rock and Brock not to mention the ever so talked about rumor that vince is tryin to have a former WCW guy on the card so we could see Goldberg vs Taker or even Sting vs Cena. In all I wouldnt get amped up about these matches just yet

 

[gtofan3240]

I am really looking forward to any possible Undertaker match at WM, but I think in my heart the best Taker match would be John Cena... think about it taker could cost Cena the Royal Rumble if he is ready by blaming Cena saying that he is the one responsible for the Nexus burying him alive, then you could have some classic promos with both wrestlers showing a bit of a dark side culminating in the match at Wrestlemania

 

[Notorious KJE]

First of all, who's to say these are going to be the matches? They're only rumored, meaning that things are subject to change.

If these are the matches however, my pick would be Orton/Punk. Personally though, I see it being Cena/Punk given Cena's long standing feud with Nexus which doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon. I think Orton's WM opponent will be either Miz or Jericho if he comes back.

Taker/Barrett would be a great match as well so I don't see why people are whining about it. Barrett would lose for sure, but you people should have figured out by now that NOBODY is ever going to break Taker's streak! And I agree that Barrett isn't HBK, but how many people are??? There's NOBODY on the roster that is capable of having a match as good as HBK did with Taker.

About the only other matchup that would have been better for Taker than Barrett at the moment would have been Cena, but they screwed that up when they refused to turn Cena heel. They should have had it so that Cena became the new Nexus leader and was responsible for Taker's burial. That would have been tremendous build and would have become the most anticipated WM matchup since Hogan/Rock at WM18. I just hope that Taker is healthy enough to compete at WM. It'd be a shame not to have him there at all.

Cena/Miz would completely SUCK. If this becomes the last match at WM this year, I'm leaving Buffalo Wild Wings before it starts. That's the only match on the list that I think would be bad.

HHH/Sheamus will be even more awesome than last years match. Sure, Sheamus has kinda been de-pushed lately, but being that this would be HHH's big return (unless he comes back for Royal Rumble) they'd make this match uber-violent and probably battle all over the arena.
