Road to Wrestlemania 28 - KEEP ALL WM28 GENERAL DISCUSSION IN HERE!!

[ian_d]

For me personally, the expected outcome is Miz(c) vs Punk.

I think if Vince regains WWE, then Punk will be up in arms about it, will consistently get screwed by Vince's minions, who are most likely Truth and Miz, at every PPV except say EC or RR. Then Punk may overcome Miz at WM with possibly HHH or Austin cancelling out an interference by Truth. I feel Miz has the corporate champion persona, and Punk has the rebel persona, nothing particularly original but with two characters like Miz and Punk, you'd like to think they'd make it work.

Obviously the IWC could suggest names like Jericho, Austin, Del Rio and even HHH, but the positioning of everything that's happening right now would lead me to believe that Miz would be most likely.

However, if the WWE rushes this whole storyline which might happen, then i wouldn't have a fucking clue what would happen.

 

[Cracka Jack]

This furthers my fear that not only will Bryan not win the title via cash-in but that he might even lose the case itself. If this is true, then they clearly have little intention to push Bryan as a main eventer and don't trust him as a contender, at least not now. This is all speculation of course, and even then these are just the plans as of now. They could easily change their minds between now and then. It just doesn't seem like they know what to do with him. A heel turn could be interesting, but there are already too many heels on Smackdown for him to push through to a higher roster spot. As far as Henry-Sheamus goes, it might be nice to see them actually finish up their feud from earlier this year. I'm not sure how good the match will be though.

 

[BigPoppaPunk]

I've said all along that DB would be the first guy to lose if he does get to cash in his MITB briefcase. Otherwise, I could see him losing his case much like Kennedy did a few years ago. Seeing as how WWE appears to be second guessing making DB the SD MITB winner, that wouldn't shock me. It's a shame too, since guys like Orton and Christian are played out in the title picture for now. Putting Henry in the title picture IMO injected some much needed new life into the WHC division. Could you imagine how over as an underdog DB would be if he defeated Henry @WM? Instead, I bet Henry will be facing Sheamus then. Not a bad SD match to headline WM, but I'd rather see a triple threat with DB, Henry and Sheamus. Either that or DB cashing in on CM Punk.

In any event, it makes his announcing when he's cashing in his MITB briefcase pointless if he loses. They might as well stick him back in the midcard if that does occur.

 

[TheTruNoLimit]

Plans will change 100 times on the road to Wrestlemania. At this time last year they were talking about stretching an Undertaker/Kane feud that was already about 3 months all the way through Wrestlemania. Plans constantly change.

As for if they didn't... it's not the worst idea. But only if Mark Henry remains champion this entire time. It'd be fun to see something like a 10 month reign ended at Mania... but that's also assuming I want to see Mark Henry as champion now until then and as much as I enjoy watching him lately, I definitely don't want that.

 

[AttitudeEra]

In my many years of following the WWE no matter what time of year, I always point towards Wrestlemania. Although this year it sounds like Survivor Series is going to kick serious ass. Anyway, as of late I have really been thinking about whats going to happen between Vegnance and WM28. In this thread I will mainly focus on the main event and upper card matches, as I feel the mid-card/lower card is harder to predict at this point. Obviously the Rock and Cena match is already set in stone, so theres not much I can add to that other then hoping Cena finally turns heel. Another quick tidbit about this match. I think if Cena turns heel it will be at WM, unless the WWE has plans to have him turn in this outsider angle then I dont think it happens till WM if at all. If the rumored best of 3 series happens with the Rock then Cena can still be a heel for the other two matches, as well as a feud with champion Punk. That could last 5 or 6 months and he can go face again if the heel turn doesnt work. Okay enough about a Cena heel turn.

How and who will wrestle for the WWE title. CM Punk champion vs Miz. The road to Wrestlemania for these two I believe will go like this. I see them both being involved in the invasion/conspericy angle through Survivor Series. Then at that point Punk will go on to face Del Rio at TLC and the Miz will be back under contract still teaming with Truth. Punk beats Del Rio at TLC, defeats him again at RR and at Elimination Chamber faces either Truth or Ziggler. In that match Punk retains and moves on to WM28. The Miz will face either Cena or HHH, Hunter the unlikely of the two at the RR and wins that match. I believe Miz needs a huge PPV win on his road to WM and I believe with some outside help will win at RR. Then at EC, he will win a # 1 contenders match to face PUNK at WM 28. Ideally I want Punk to face Austin at WM 28 but I just dont think it's going to happen for a number of reasons, including having to turn Punk heel and obviously that wont happen because WWE wants him as face. So I am pretty convinced of it going down this way, the only place I speculate is Miz's match at RR and Punk's opponent at EC.

World title match! Many people are already speculating Henry vs Sheamus at WM 28 for the title. Personally I would be cool with that and I think it will go down. My concern is though is WWE really going to give Henry that long of a title reign. I cant seem him losing the title and then winning it again before WM. Here's how it will go down. I expect Henry to defeat Orton and Big Show at Vegenance. After the match the Gong hits and Taker returns, he takes out Henry and we have a match at SS. I think Henry can keep the title to WM if he has a feud with the Deadman. Taker is a big enough force to make Henry's reign more believable. I also believe the WWE can get away with only having one of the world titles defended at SS, especially with the Rock in the elimination match. Having the Undertaker in the only title match will help buys as well. I think Taker wins by DQ in this match, no way Taker comes back and loses his first match. This way it also makes Henry not look weak because he kept the title. Then at TLC Henry wins and I believe he wins clean. Then they fight one more time at RR and Taker is about to win but either Jericho or Barrett run out and cost Taker the match, more on which later. Henry goes on to defend his title at EC and wins. I also believe WWE can get away with only having one of the EC matches for the title and the other one a #1 contenders match. As for Shemaus, I believe casper will continue his feud with Christian at Vegenance and I believe Christian beats Sheamus by cheating. It wont kill the irishmans momentum if he loses one match, especially dirty. Plus it helps Christian, who I fill needs a big win to stay relevant and to look more legit for his team at Survivor Series. They will both be in the SS elimination match IMO as well. Then at TLC they have there rubber match that Sheamus wins easily heading into RR. Unless Jericho returns, I am pretty convinced that Sheamus wins the Rumble this year, I dont see another heel winning this year and Sheamus is the best option for the faces. Sheamus beats Cody Rhodes at EC, I have no idea how this feud starts but it's a good matchup and it keeps Sheamus out of the EC match.
Where does this leave D Bryan, personally unless something happens quickly I think Bryan will cash in his briefcase and lose. The WWE has not booked him well at all since his MITB win and now he is not crediable at all IMO.

Back to Undertaker, I mentioned earlier that I see him feuding with Jericho or Barrett at WM28. I hope Jericho comes back because I feel he is a crediable opponent for the deadman. Even though he puts a lot of guys over and loses quite a few matches, he also wins big matchups when you least expect it. The first undisputed champion beating the Rock and Austin in the same night and when he won the title a few years ago when Punk got taken out, no one saw that coming either. Jericho could also come back and win the Rumble but I feel at WM Jericho/Taker and Miz/Punk is more appealing then Jericho/Punk or Miz/Taker. Now where does Barrett fall in to this, based on what i saw Monday on Raw I believe creative is going to try and get Barrett involved in the SS storyline and make him believable again. If JerIcho is not an option for Taker at WM then I believe Barrett will be pushed to the moon and made to be believeable to take Takers streak. Afterall these two have a history Barrett took out Taker a year ago and he never got his revenge on Barrett for it. I love HHH but please dont let them have a rematch from last year.

This is pretty much the top 4 matches/storylines on the card. As I come up with more ideas I will try and post them. Sorry if this post is too long of a read but I wanted to post my ideas and get a nice discussion going.

So am I nuts are these predictions way off base, or do you guys see my points regarding the way I see this going down? Please feel free to add your Road to Wrestlemania card as well if you would like. I want to hear some good ideas. I am really looking forward to this years WM, more so then probably the last 6 or 7 years. Take care guys!

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I created a similar thread today talking about the plans for the WWE Championship at WM. I mentioned in that thread, just as others have said here, that plans for WM will change time and time again by the time the event actually comes around.

When it comes to WWE being high on Sheamus, it's not like there isn't good reason to be. Sheamus is a star and has more than demonstrated that on a number of occassions over the course of nearly 2 years. As far as a Mark Henry length title run, that depends on things. If WWE keeps Mark Henry in the mold he's in right now, then I've got no problem with him having a lengthy run with the strap. Mark Henry has proven a LOT of people wrong, both wrestling insiders and fans themselves, over the past several months. Mark Henry has been a huge surprise and, even more surprising, has been one of the best elements of WWE in 2011. He's done a great job and if he continues to do so, then not only does he deserve to have such a lengthy run but it also makes good sense from a business perspective.

When it comes to Daniel Bryan, it's all up in the air at this point in time. There's still tons of time until WM and plans will continuously change from now until then. Bryan may cash it in early as part of a heel turn when people are least expecting it. The WWE may have Bryan lose the case as part of a storyline in which he winds up turning heel. Maybe Daniel Bryan will wind up "injured" and Sheamus will take his place at WM, which could lead to a heel turn where Bryan blames Sheamus for stealing his WrestleMania moment. Maybe WWE will scrap the plans for Sheamus vs. Mark Henry at WM and just wind up building Bryan as a top contender beginning late this year and on through WM. Maybe he'll cash in and lose, precipitating a heel turn. There are any number of potential scenarios to do with Bryan that, when it's all said and done, could potentially make Bryan a bigger star than if he did cash in and win the title at WM.

Nothing is set in stone yet, not by any stretch, and there's still lots of time. So, I wouldn't write Bryan off just yet.

 

[Peoples_Champ]

Someone mentioned turning Daniel Bryan heel (I know its been mentioned a bunch of times earlier), but wouldn't a good backup angle if Punk / Austin doesn't pan out to be Punk / Bryan?

It can work out by Bryan slapping Punk (heel turn) and putting down an angry pipebomb of his own saying that HE is the best wrestler in the world, and then have a worked shoot about how WWE isn't giving him a chance, but giving Punks and Ryders a chance (insert Ryder for semi-feud).

I would much rather see Punk with Daniel Bryan at WM and vice versa than any other combination (barring Punk / Cena, on a WM stage, that might be legendary).

 

[Dsquared]

I joined after years of thread viewing because I love this topic!

Great post & ideas, but I'd like to post some thoughts/my own predictions.

I just noticed that JustinGabrielZackRyderFTW mentioned Daniel Bryan vs Orton, which I thought was a great call. I don't suspect a swerve by Bryan - I feel like he'll honor his word that he cashes his MITB win at WM28. Since I'm also assuming he's going for the WHC/Smackdown belt, his potential candidates for title holders at WM28 include:

Orton
Henry
Sheamus
Rhodes


Out of those four, I can rule out Henry. I just don't see how those two have any sort of a decent match. Henry is all power and Bryan wouldn't look credible against Henry's style. I feel the same way about Sheamus... trying to push him as a top face now, I don't see a match with him vs Bryan at WM28 as a great bout. But Bryan vs Orton could be an intriguing Face vs Face match... but I'm going with Cody Rhodes going into WM28 as the champ. I think Shaemus beats Henry for the title by the RR while Rhodes vs Orton feud goes on during the same time. Rhodes could then capture the title by EC at the latest from Sheamus leading to a nice opening world title match (ala Edge vs Del Rio at WM27) with Bryan vs Rhodes for the WHC.

That match leaves a great face vs face match up of Orton vs Sheamus at WM28. Maybe Rhodes wins the title in the Triple Threat with Orton/Sheamus where Orton or Sheamus costs the other the match? Or in an EC match with the same result (Sheamus or Orton costs the other the match).

As for Raw and the WWE championship, CM Punk will be involved. I don't think they need Cena to hold the title at WM28 to make his match anymore meaningful. So I'm going to pencil in CM Punk winning the RR to earn a shot at WM28. For the record, I don't see Austin ever wrestling again. If he did, I'd take back my Punk prediction for the RR win because Austin vs Punk needs to happen if Austin ever did return for WM28.

To side track a little bit... Triple H is looking like he's going to end up in a feud with Vince McMahon, or dare I call a wild card here and say he's going to feud with Stephanie McMahon (the person Laurainitis is texting?). I'm not sure how this feud will turn out (great booking by leaving an educated and life long WWF/E fan confused about an angle). I feel like this feud will last quite a while, but the end result will be Triple H being involved in the WWE Title match at WM28 vs CM Punk. I said CM Punk will win the RR, but it could be Triple H that does and then challenges Punk. I feel like Triple H vs Punk Round 2 would be a great attraction.


So as far as the main attraction matches I have:

Cena vs The Rock (obvious)
Daniel Bryan vs Cody Rhodes (WH champion)
Sheamus vs Orton (grudge match, no holds barred?)
CM Punk vs Triple H (Round 2 for WWE Title)

It's hard to call the Undertaker match this year... Triple H would be a decent candidate but I think there's too much intrigue involved with Triple H vs CM Punk 2. Mark Henry vs Undertaker has been done already. Cena vs Taker can't happen. Jericho vs Undertaker? Meh... sure it'd be good but I feel like Jericho, if he returns, would work against the Miz with Jericho as a face. The Miz has been Jericho-like with his promos, and I think the feud could be great. I know you didn't want mid-card projections, but I'd say Jericho vs The Miz would be great.

Back to the Taker match... plenty of great heel candidates available that could use this match to elevate their career. Del Rio, Swagger, Barrett, Ziggler. Maybe a "juggernaut" candidate they could push heavily from now until WM28 like Mason Ryan or Brodus Clay? Ok, ok... none of these candidates seem good enough for his 20th win at WM. How about a wild card pick like Brock Lesnar or Mic Foley? I can dream.

 

[King of the Words]

I see Cena turring heel at Mania or the night after on raw, if he loses to the Rock.

I see Sheamus vs. Henry at Survivor Series, actually. By time Mania comes around, I see Orton as world champion again, facing Inc. Rhodes and Daniel Bryan, with his Smackdown MITB briefcase being cashed in. I'd predict rhodes winnng

I can see Punk vs. the Miz, but I'd rather see punk vs. Austin or Jerico for the WWE Championship. I could also see Miz vs. Jerico, with a passing of the torch feel to it.

And the Undertaker, I can only see him facing the Game for the long awaited Mania 27 rematch. I would have it as streak vs. Career with HBK as ref.

 

[LoudClearVoice]

How about a wild card pick like Brock Lesnar or Mic Foley? I can dream.

I think Miz vs. Undertaker would be.... AWESOME!!! Miz won't win but he can still get over by fighting a really good match with Undertaker.


WWE would be smart to do that match, if they really think Miz is the next big thing. All indications are that Vince McMahon loves the Miz right now.

 

[tomthebodz]

I like Mark Henry as a world champion and hope that he has a long reign and goes into Mania the champion.
I could see him facing Sheamus sooner rather than later and injuring him. Then Sheamus returns at the Rumble and wins. Then goes on to face Henry to seek revenge.

 

[shooter_mcgavin]

Considering the WWE is botching Daniel Bryan's run (he's just window dressing for the Cara vs. Cara feud) they have to do something quick and crealitve to make Bryan a believeable contender for the World Title once he cashes it in.

They are trying to do the whole underdog loosing streak thing, which doesn't make a lot of sense, considering how it affected MVP's WWE career.

Right now if WWE wants Bryan to be believable, it would be best if he cashes in after WM.

As for Mark Henry vs. Sheamus ... I am not liking this one bit. Mark Henry has been doing great as Champion but I just don't see him being the defending champ come WM time.

The best option I could think of is having Sheamus vs. Randy Orton or Triple H for the World Title. In the case of Orton ... Sheamus has not beated Orton clean yet so this is a great way to soldify Sheamus as a top player in the WWE.

For Triple H vs. Sheamus, it would be a rematch to their WM26 match/rivalry which had no closure whatsoever.

 

[Wolf Pac]

Maybe WWE could hold a brand extension before WM, so that Daniel can be drafted to Raw and he cashes in on Punk at WM. Against Henry or Sheamus, WWE won't let him stand a chance but against Punk, it's possible plus everybody wants to see Punk face Bryan, so it would make sense.

 

[BigPoppaPunk]

Maybe WWE could hold a brand extension before WM, so that Daniel can be drafted to Raw and he cashes in on Punk at WM. Against Henry or Sheamus, WWE won't let him stand a chance but against Punk, it's possible plus everybody wants to see Punk face Bryan, so it would make sense.

That would make more sense to me as well, but I bet if he does cash in, it'll be on Henry or Sheamus. Both of which will completely crush him and there's no chance of him winning. If he cashed in on Punk, it would be a great match and set up Punk taking shots at the Rock/Cena match. For now though, it seems like WWE will go with Punk/Austin if they can get him to return for one more match. Also not a bad idea, but I'd rather see Punk and DB put on a wrestling clinic at WM.

The current problem is, unless his booking takes a complete 180, I couldn't see him having enough credibility to win against either champion. I'm hoping WWE will recover with him and push him very strongly going into WM. Hopefully, once he's done with the Sin Cara's, they'll start to capitalize on his submission gimmick a little more. I could easily see him being the Samoa Joe of WWE if he's used properly.

 

[Dagger Dias]

WWE will get around this quite easily because when it comes to Wrestlemania they usually are able to find a way to make it all work. If Sheamus and Henry are destined to be the World Heavyweight Championship's match for Wrestlemania 28 then they will simply switch the titles and a few of the roster spots. Punk can take the WWE Championship to the blue brand to face Bryan while Henry and Sheamus can bring the World Heavyweight Championship to Raw with them. They could always shake things up through the Elimination Chamber match like they did in 2009 when Edge walked in with Raw's title and walked out with Smackdown's. WWE always find a way out with clever booking when it comes to Wrestlemania. All we know is that Bryan must cash in on Smackdown's world title, which depending on what happens could be either world title.

 

[Smiter]

well first of all cena isnt goin to have the title near or at WM simply becaue the rock cena feud can alone draw without the title being involved ...
Cm punk and Alberto are definitly on the main event status and one of them will probably be holding the title then .. most probably Alberto ..
for heavyweight title sheamus or christian could hold title to put over MITB D bryan.

 

[iwinulose]

ok here random thought. just a suggestion but i think it would be fair for lots of guys who deserve it. Mark Henry currently holds the title. i expect to see him hold it for quite a while. give him a 4 - 6 months, then maybe he hands it down to William regal. give him a few months then have Daniel Bryan cash in on the title and win. these 2 feud for a bit. give Daniel Bryan 4 - 5 months, have him feud with some people then maybe have Christian take the title. 3 - 5 months later give it to sheamus. give him a nice long reign. have him hand it to someone after a 3 ppv feud. now look at that randy ortons name wasnt mentioned once until now . 5 guys have just gotten the title. hell, if you wanted to go further give the WHC to cody rhodes (despite his not deserving of it). these are just thoughts but at least it would be a breath of fresh air.

 

[LOS ANGELES LAKERS]

Daniel Bryan is WWE's most talented worker and it would be terrible if he didn't cash in his Money in the Bank contract successfully.

 

[Wolf Pac]

I have a new card although there are some matches that are the same as the one I posted a few pages back but those few changes I made I think are better than what I had before.

My winners are in bold.

The Rock (F) vs. John Cena (F)

WWE Championship
CM Punk (F) vs. The Miz (H) vs. Daniel Bryan (F)
(Miz wins Rumble, Bryan cashes in briefcase cause the brand extension has ended, so he's eligible to cash in for the WWE Title if he wants. Also with The Miz in there, he & Punk can carry the feud, so Bryan doesn't have to do much. If it were just Bryan alone, I couldn't see him carrying a WM main event programme. And I can't really see Bryan as a heel when he's not a big star, going up against one of the E's biggest faces on the big stage, so I think they should keep him face for this, another reason why Miz should be in this. I really like this idea because you have one of the biggest faces, one of the biggest heels and the underdog who has history with both guys, it totally makes sense imo)

World Championship
Sheamus (F) vs. Mark Henry (H)
(Seems that's in the plans and I wouldn't mind seeing it. I think Sheamus will win the #1 Contendership in the EC match at Elimination Chamber then win his first World Title here)

Alberto Del Rio (H) vs. Randy Orton (F)
(WWE need to save their first match for this. This would be one of the non-title main events of the PPV)

Rey Mysterio (F) vs. Sin Cara (F)

Triple H (F) vs. Wade Barrett (H)

Undertaker (F) vs. Mick Foley or Chris Jericho (H)

Big Show (H) vs. Shaquille O' Neal (F)

Divas Championship
Natalya (F) vs. Beth Phoenix (H)

Kane (F) vs. Kevin Nash (H)

Return of the Triple Threat Tag TLC's for the Tag Team Championship
AirBoom (F) vs. Kings Of Wrestling (H) vs. Christian & John Morrison (F)
(With Christian being one of the pioneers, he should be in it and with JoMo being a high flyer, I think they could make a good tag team together for this match since Edge & Christian were one of the high flyer tag teams in these TLC matches)

IC Championship
Cody Rhodes (H) vs. Goldust (F)
(This being brother vs. brother makes it big imo and Cody going over another veteran would do great for his career)

Zack Ryder [F] vs. R-Truth [H]
(Either a dark match or it's on the card. The build up to this being R-Truth complains on Raw about being left of WM, keeping with the conspiracy storyline then Ryder comes out, says he's not on the card either but Truth needs to stop whining then whoever is in charge, makes this match for WM)

US Championship
Dolph Ziggler (F) vs. Jack Swagger w/ Vickie Guerrerro (H)
(They should keep them as a tag team until around Elimination Chamber then have them split up with Vickie betraying Dolph and going with Jack)

 

[Vermillion]

I would love to see Henry/Bryan for the world title at Wrestlemania 28. Bryan already said he is saving that title shot for Wrestlemania. I would love to see DB make Henry tap out clean and win the title. It would really put him over in a huge way. The match itself would be pretty good, and they can afford to do this match. None of the guys are big names, but since the main event is Rock/Cena, I think they can get away with it. Especially since last year’s world title match was the opener of the show and featured a guy who was not even over at the time.

 

[shooter_mcgavin]

I was thinking sometime ago.

It was reported that WWE wants to push CM Punk as Champion or being the challenger for the WWE Championship.

Now, if true, that is great. It shows how much commitment they have on Punk. My question is Punk has already been WWE and World Champion, how does winning/being WWE Champion help his stature at WM28?

It would sure help him if he challenges a big name superstar in the WWE. But who are the options?

Rock and Cena are already booked
Triple H - Already had a program with him
Undertaker - He has a streak to protect so if he takes on Punk a Punk loss could slow his momentum a bit
Shawn Michaels - Retired
Mick Foley - Wild Card but I doubt it
Chris Jericho - No guarantee he will be in the WWE by WM28
Nash - He's sort of overthehill

Then I look at the Championship contenders that might be Champion by WM28 from RAW.

The Miz, Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler, John Morrison, Jack Swagger, The Big Show.

Do any of them screan Punk's on the next level by beating any of them?

I thought not.

So its a struggle thinking about it. So what booking idea could work? What Idea could help Punk walk away as champion and help him elevate himself to the next level?

Then I thought of this scenario.

Alberto Del Rio is still champion by WM28 ... Punk wins the Royal Rumble.

The Natural Match Up will be Punk vs. Del Rio for the WWE Title. Not really a match of the ages right? Yeah but if the WWE can build this up I see how this can't be an intriguing build.

So were at WM28 ... it's Del Rio vs. Punk for the WWE Title. This is what happens:

- Big Promo for the Match

- Punk comes first ... good pop ... Cult of Personality!!!

- Del Rio enters next as WWE Champion ... his ring announcers go spanish ... Del Rio has a big lavish entrance (I'm talking about WM22 Triple H King Conan big time entrance)

- Justin Roberts does a formal ring announcment

- Bell Rings

- 5 seconds in the match - Del Rio's Ring Announcer distracts Punk

- Punk approaches him

- Del Rio attacks Punk at the back

- 30 seconds later ... Del Rio applies the Arm Bar (yeah you know where this is going its WM25 Orton/HHH all over again with Finishers being used in the beginning!!!)

- 30 seconds later (so were at 1:05) Punk reverses it to an Anaconda Vice ... crowd pops

- 15 seconds later ... Del Rio gets the ropes. Ref breaks the hold. (so were at the 1:20 mark)

- Both get up ... They fight for 20 seconds and ... Del Rio is in the Turn Buckle and Punk does his running bulldog (1:40 seconds)

- Punk taunts to the crowd. Crowd Pops. Del Rio's announcer climbs the ring. Punk and Ref direct their attention to the announcer. (2 min mark)

- Del Rio tries to closeline Punk from Behind but rams to the Announcer. Punk then Kicks Del Rio at the head

- Punk goes for the GTS!!!! 1-2-3 ... Punk wins the WWE Title at WM at 2:30

- Crowd goes Nuts!!! Huge Epic Pops for Punk. Del Rio chokes like Lebron James.

Now some may call this crazy but I see this achieving two things
- Establishes Punk as a next level star
- Gets people talking about this match because of the unexpected quick win
- Gets a mega pop at WM28 for a match not too many people are excited about (esp with Rock/Cena on the card)

However some people may concerns:
- Does this make Del Rio look weak? - Well Hogan beat Yokozuna in 12 seconds at WM9. Yoko was still a dominant player for over a year. Plus some with some smart booking for Del Rio, I'm sure he will be fine.

- This sounds like Sting vs. Jeff Hardy again at TNA and could cause a "Bulls***" backlash. Well maybe but I doubt it since the match people paid to watch is Rock vs. Cena anyways so fan will still leave home happy.

- Werent people pissed at the Cena vs. JBL match at WM21 being only 10 mins? Nah people were pissed because the match was anti-climatic and it made no sense from a storyline perspective. Why would JBL go at it alone and loose in 10 mins when all year long he used his henchmen to give him cheap wins?

Anyways that's my F***ed up idea. What do you guys think?

But before you pass judgement ... close your eyes and imagine having this scenario played at WM28. I did any it looked awsome.

 

[Suxen Redael]

Hell I can support this, it has "WWE Mannerisms" written all over it. You are right for the simple fact that people will buy this for Cena vs. Rock, so the WWE title match will be less anticipated. Most likely Cena/Rock will be the Main Event so this gives the fans something monumental to remember besides the M.E. But WWE has to pull this off sharply and not make it seem like complete bullshit.

 

[keehlnate]

Uhm No. Wrestlemania last for about what? 4 hrs? I don't think they would book a world title match like that in a Wrestlemania card. That's a lot of vacant space

Although that idea could happen on regular monday nights. Or other PPVs not named wrestlemania. And besides, if that match happen, del rio would be buried big time.

 

[WhatAboutRaven]

NO

if all you're gonna say is "NO", Don't fucking reply.

Two things: One, Don't ever compare Del Rio to Lebron. Unlike LJ, Del Rio has his rings, so to speak.

Secondly, and more on topic, I'm not gonna lie. It seemed like an "okay" idea, until I read Punk over Del Rio in two and a half minutes. thats when I said bullshit, and stopped reading. Nothing against Punk, or....well, actally mostly because of his "fans", but if they give him the belt, I wouldn't be interested.

so, your idea is to turn ADR into the Chavo to Punk's Kane. Yeah, that won't bury anybody.

 

[rkonextphenom]

After all the crap i had to read through to get that the main topic, yes i agree fully. Having Punk go over Del Rio and win the WWE title would be the best way to cement him as a top guy and would be the icing on the cake with what Punk has done this year. A lot of people won't agree with this, but i am a huge Punk mark but wrestling fan wise i think this would be a strong main event. It would have to be put on just right so Del Rio dosn't look like a dropped the title in a squash match like with Cena at Night of Champions. I think this could be the match before Cena vs the Rock and has the possibility of stealing the show and making Cena and the Rock work extra hard to top it! I think this is a wonderful idea because if Undertaker isnt able to compete(god i hope not) there would be a big void for a great match and i believe these two have the capabilities of putting on a excellent WM match! but like i said it would have to be done puuurrrfectly!!!!!
