My Main Event Road To WrestleMania

JETER123

Pre-Show Stalwart
This is the way I'd book the Road To WrestleMania.

Vince McMahon would return at TLC. He says that Nexus has been ruining his company and feels like he's losing control. The Nexus would continue to wreak havoc up until the Rumble.

During the Rumble, Sheamus, Wade Barrett, Heath Slater, and David Otunga are left with two entries to come. The crowd starts to get behind Sheamus, teasing a face turn. Cena is the 29th entrant and comes in on fire. (Revealing the next night on RAW that Vince hired Cena back to take down Nexus.) Cena eliminates Slater and Otunga, and while Cena and Barrett are fighting, Sheamus eliminates them both. Cena and Barrett fight to the back, as Barrett is furious that Cena screwed him for the third time. Sheamus waits for number 30, and it's time to play the Game. Triple H returns to get his revenge, and does, as he eliminates Sheamus to win the Royal Rumble. During the main event of the Rumble, Randy Orton takes on The Miz for the title. And now, for the third return of the night, Chris Jericho returns to also get his revenge for Orton punting him in the head. The Miz beats Orton due to Jericho's interference.

The next night on RAW, Vince says he hired Cena back to take down the Nexus. Vince leaves and says he guarantees that by WrestleMania, Nexus will be no more. The Anonymous GM announces that at Elimination Chamber, the main event will be for the WWE Title in an Elimination Chamber match. It will be The Miz (c) vs. Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho vs. Sheamus vs. Wade Barrett vs. John Cena. And the special referee...the number one contender and Royal Rumble winner, Triple H. Later on in the show, Vince tells Cena in the backstage area that he was proud of Cena for screwing Barrett at the Rumble. Vince says that he sees "darker" days in Wade's and the Nexus future.

At Elimination Chamber, Wade Barrett, John Cena, Sheamus, and The Miz start off in the pods. Randy Orton and Chris Jericho start it off. The first guy out is Sheamus. As soon as he comes out, Triple H pedigrees him, then Orton following it up with an RKO. Sheamus is immediately eliminated and screwed. Out next is Cena. Cena, Jericho and Orton go at it until Miz is released next. They all team up on Miz, ending with Cena making him tap out. Immediately after, Orton pins Jericho, leaving Cena and Orton. Before Jericho leaves the Chamber he gives the Codebreaker to Orton and Cena. He turns to leave, but then decides to punt Orton in the head. Jericho leaves. Cena rolls over and pins Orton. It's down to Cena and Barrett. Cena is weak already, and Barrett is released. There is no way Barrett is gonna lose. All of a sudden, each chamber pod starts to fill up with smoke. The lights go off. They come back on and Undertaker is standing in the middle of the ring, with Barrett in tombstone position. He tombstones Barrett, then disappears. Cena rolls over and pins Barrett to become the new WWE Champion. Undertaker gets his revenge on Barrett.

The next night on RAW, Cena and Triple H face off as they are the main event of WrestleMania for the WWE Championship. Sheamus comes out and says that it was completely unfair that Triple H screwed Sheamus by pedigreeing him when he was suppose to be an impartial official. Michael Colle says the Anonymous GM decided to allow him to compete for the WWE Title at WrestleMania. Before Cole can finish, Miz comes out and says he is going to exercise his rematch clause at WrestleMania. He doesn't care that it's a four-way match, his dream is to headline WrestleMania. So the official main event of WrestleMania is for the WWE Championship. It's a fatal four-way match, pitting John Cena (c) vs. Triple H vs. Sheamus vs. The Miz. Wade Barrett and the Nexus feud with Undertaker. Undertaker would eliminate each member of the Nexus, one by one, ending in a match with Wade Barrett at WrestleMania. Randy Orton and Chris Jericho continue their brutal feud leading up to a WrestleMania match.

So there you have it. That's how I'd book the main event Raw scene during the Road to WrestleMania.

Thoughts?
 
thats pretty damn good. thats a storyline/scenario id like to see. but id also love to see a "Benoit" type story where someone wills their way thru the rumble, like a very early number. Either a heel or face. Maybe someone like John Morrison or even Sheamus.
 
dats a good storyline dude, it could happen, but i would like to see john morrison finally win mitb at mania then cash it in to really give him superstar status.
 
I really enjoyed reading this post, and think you have a good idea.
My only problem I have with this idea is that for months we have been given a great storyline between Nexus and Cena and tbh I think we need to see Cena beat Barrett and end Nexus, even though they did get rid of the Undertaker I think it needs to be Cena beating them, it really is a case of the good over bad in the end, and even though I'm not a Cena fan he really needs this one.
However this would not include the Undertaker within this and it would be brilliant to have him end Nexus at his last Wrestlemania.
Ha, i'm beginning to like the idea more now.

I like your idea alot and how you have planned it out. Let's hope Wrestlemania's card is exciting as this one.

Thoughts?

My thoughts? Here:

1. Triple H vs John Cena is a very fresh match. It's not like the match has been done before.

2. Undertaker vs Barrett? Wow, I'm sure that match will follow and surpass The Undertaker's last two Wrestlemania matches with Shawn Michaels. Barret has an otherworldly wrestling skill and extraordinary mic skill, not to mention a countless amount of charisma and astronomical drawing power. I'm sure this match can outdraw Hogan vs Andre at WM 3. In his long and illustrious career, Wade has been constantly giving us legendary matches and classic feuds, not to mention defeating every main eventer there is is cleanly. If someone can end The Streak, it should be Barrett.

There.

1. Triple H vs. John Cena vs. The Miz vs. Sheamus has never been done before.

2. Who said anything about Barrett winning?
 
Absolutely awesome!!! The best bit is HHH returning, THEN wearing a nice tight fitting referees shirt. Only prob I have with it is Trips entering at number 30 that has been done to death, bring him in earlier and that would be great, maybe number 15, then have Sheamus (who would not look good in referees shirt) at number 30 and the Game owning him, or maybe the Game being eliminated but coming back out to screw over Sheamus. Taker and Barret would be okay too, I am not a fan of either, and only watched the streak match last too years because of HBK. Love the whole elimination chamber too!!! Orton and Jericho would be a great match. Well done, if only WWE had people like you writing their stories. :)
 
This is pretty awesome! But why would Jericho codebreaker Cena? Am I missing something here?

Just cause he's a heel haha. He decides that if he can't win the title, he's gonna make Cena and Orton struggle trying. Plus, he's pissed that he lost, and takes it out on whoever he can. And the punt to Orton is Jericho's way of dealing karma. I'm glad you enjoyed! =)
 
AWESOME :) Its a new and fresh storyline and i love it!!! Triple H vs. John Cena vs. The Miz vs. Sheamus is a fatal four way match tht i would NOT want to miiss and taker vs barrett would be a crazy match. It is like 1 feud breaks up into 2 feuds and i LOVE IT :)

You cant kill, what is already dead :undertaker2:
 
Great storyline! Looks like you put plenty of thought in it. Although there isnone thing that bugs me. Why would they have 3 returns in one night? The first return might overshadow the second or third. Other than that, it's really good!
 
Wow, awesome stuff. I hope WWE has this planned as well as you do.

Taker and Barret would be okay too, I am not a fan of either, and only watched the streak match last too years because of HBK.
Wait, what? You don't like Undertaker and you only watched his Mania matches because of HBK? This has to be the first time I've heard this from anyone, ever.
 
This is a great idea. Orton/Jericho would probably be match of the year material if done right.
Barret vs Taker might seem a little off, but it's understandable seeing as Taker has had two spectacular matches the last in the last two manias. Im sure it would still be a solid match though.
I even like the fatal 4 way idea, even if cena or hhh will probably win it.

I wish this would happen but knowing wwe creative, they're gonna mess it all up and reveal the gm to be hornswagle and do something lame like Zeke vs hhh as the main event.
 
I think Jericho vs The Miz would be awesome! Cena vs A Heel HHH and Undertaker vs Sting. Or Undertaker vs Goldberg.

As far as Barrett, whats has he won in WWE? I think Barrett vs Shaemus would be awesome, or Shaemus vs Undertaker. Orton vs HBK
 
1. Triple H vs. John Cena vs. The Miz vs. Sheamus has never been done before.

2. Who said anything about Barrett winning?

Then, how would Barret follow or surpass The Undertaker's work with Shawn Michaels two years in a row? What has he won? What has he achieved? How many legendary feuds he's had? The thing about Barrett is Taker wouldn't gain any new credibility by defeating him, just like when he defeated Mark Henry at WM 22 in the worst casket match of all time. At least when Orton faced Taker at WM 21, he was on his peak as The Legend Killer and was fresh from becoming the youngest world champion ever.

So? Does Barrett's credibility even begin to rival any of those three? If Taker vs Barret happens, I think we will have a match on the same level with Undertaker vs Mark Henry or Undertaker vs Big Show & A-Train. The match would be below average and predictable as hell. Same goes for Sheamus.
 
Totally enjoyed reading this post and the storyline is AWESOME! All the matches you declared for WrestleMania would be too good and I think, this would be a better WM than WM 26 (if these matches would happen).

Dude, nobody can follow Shawn Michaels. Let's get that out of the way right now. The point is, it's not about "who the Undertaker gets to beat this year", it's about the wrestler who gets the rub from just wrestling Taker at Mania. Wade Barrett doesn't have to win to get a huge rub from the match. The WWE main event scene is getting older as we speak. HBK, Undertaker, Triple H, Batista, Kane, Chris Jericho, Edge, Big Show, and Rey Mysterio are all either retired, about to retire, or contemplating retirement. The main event scene is gonna take a big hit, if it hasn't already. Wade Barrett, The Miz, Sheamus, CM Punk, John Morrison, Jack Swagger and the rest of the roster HAVE to stay in the spotlight, cause when each top guy moves on from the camera, we can't be staring at a blank canvas.
 
Pretty good storyline. The only problem I have here is Barret facing the Undertaker at mania. He does not have to surpass HBK like someone mentioned above because it is obvious no one will, but I just don't feel that he is at the level to make me believe he could beat Taker. Maybe if he had the Nexus with him, but otherwise I see this like HHH vs Shaemus from last year. I think it was pretty obvious who was going to win.

The thing is, The Undertaker needs a big name to be included on his streak because Vince has passed people like Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Mankind, The Rock, Stone Cold, Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle, Randy Savage, Owen Hart, and Chris Benoit for the sake of pushing guys like Giant Gonzales, King Kong Bundy, Big Boss Man, A-Train, and Mark Henry by pitting them against The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. We all knew how horrible the matches were so I wouldn't present that subject.

The Undertaker can't carry Barrett into a legendary match with his current condition. He is too injured to do so. His last two matches with Shawn Michaels were classics cause they mainly offered a huge in-ring psychology, which was gained by experience after wrestling for years and years. Sorry for saying this, but Wade doesn't have that ATM. The only two men he hasn't faced at WM who can perform an in-ring psychology on Taker's level are Jericho and Cena. Other than those two, u can bet the match would be horrible.

And furthermore, it's pretty one-sided if u're thinking only on how to further push Wade but not how to give The Streak the much needed credibility and big names taken by five talentless giants.

And although you mentioned it well enough that Wade won't follow HBK, it'll still be a waste if The Streak match is wasted.

Just look at Wrestlemania 9 & 11. After having a hot streak defeating two main-eventers at Wrestlemania 7 & 8 in the form of Jimmy Snuka and Jake Roberts, Vince tried to push Giant Gonzales and repush King Kong Bundy by making them faced Taker at Mania instead of giving Taker the likes of hogan for him to face at Mania 9 and Bret or Owen at WM 11. Both pushes ended up in failure, and even until today, Taker' s match at WM 9 is considered to be his worst match ever.

It happened again at Wrestlemania 15 after facing Kane in a legendary match at Wrestlemania 14. Vince gave up the chance for The Undertaker to face Mankind or Rock or Austin at WM cause he wanted to push Boss Man. And in the end we got to see the worst HIAC match ever. And need I say that match is the only Undertaker Wrestlemania match to receive boring chants from the live crowd?

It happened again at Wrestlemania 19. After defeating Triple H & Ric Flair at Wrestlemania X-7 and X-8 respectively, Vince put Taker with Nathan Jones against Big Show & A-Train in order to push both Jones and Train to the main event scene. Even Taker was rumored to first decline to have this match but it was already booked. Then they realized Jones was so horrible and pull him off the match, but it was too late. We should have seen The Undertaker facing Eddie Guerrero or RVD or Benoit at WM 19 instead of A-Train.

It happened again at Wrestlemania 22. After defeating Orton at WM 21 and making The Streak a huge deal, Taker should faced people like Kurt Angle or JBL or Booker T at WM 22. But Vince waived the chance and instead push Mark Henry, hoping Taker could carry him into a legendary match. The match flopped and in the process became the worst casket match ever held.

We already have five different evidence that someone who's less greater than Undertaker's previous opponents at Wrestlemania would only embarass himself and Taker if they have a match at Mania.

The Undertaker should face Y2J or Cena, not Barrett. I'd mark out like crazy if WWE reveal Jericho to be Nexus' real leader and have him face Taker at WM 27 or Cena and Taker returned at the same time and combined their power to face Nexus at No Way Out. Then, as his gratitude Cena challenged Taker at WM 27 just like what HBK did after Taker reminded him who he actually is at Royal Rumble 2009.
 
And furthermore, it's pretty one-sided if u're thinking only on how to further push Wade but not how to give The Streak the much needed credibility and big names taken by five talentless giants.


The Undertaker's streak has plenty of credibility man. The "five talentless giants" can't even bring it down. When he beat Ric Flair, Triple H, Shawn Michaels (twice), Kane (twice), Randy Orton, Batista, Edge, Jimmy Snuka, and Jake Roberts, the streak was already historic and legendary. And that's not even mentioning Diesel and Sycho Sid, who were both at the top of the business when Undertaker defeated them. The streak can't be more credible. And it's not WrestleMania 27 that Undertaker needs a mega star opponent, it's WrestleMania 28. He'll be going for 20-0 at WrestleMania 28, and that's when he needs the MEGA STAR opponent. Could be HHH, even though that's been done before. I think most people would agree that Cena vs. Undertaker is inevitable, so WrestleMania 28 would be the perfect setting.

And I'm also craving a Jericho/Undertaker match at a PPV, especially WrestleMania. But that's probably not gonna happen.
 
I kinda like the idea, but I only see one thing wrong, and that is having yet another long-term injured wrestler making a surprise entry into the rumble and winning. I'm sick of seeing it. Everyone has their favourite picks in the rumble, and it completely ruins the anticipation when someone returns at last minute and completely negates the whole build up.
Yes, it is exciting to have a long awaited surprise return, but it should be kept out of the rumble itself. I was absolutely furious when Edge returned last year. I felt cheated out of a decent rumble.
I would love to see a Triple H return, but I really hope it's before the Royal Rumble.
