Not a lot of new movement for WrestleMania this week. Rey Mysterio seems to have found his WM opponent. No sign of Christian to add to the Edge/del Rio feud. Overall, a quiet week.
Announced WrestleMania matches:
WWE Championship: The Miz (c) vs. John Cena
It seems like the hype between Cena and The Rock is getting more airtime than the Cena/Miz feud. It will be interesting to see whether The Rock pokes his nose into this title match.
World Heavyweight Championship: Edge (c) vs. Christian vs. Alberto del Rio
Still no idea if they're going to add Christian to this match, but they definitely should. Edge's schtick has gotten stale.
The Undertaker vs. Triple H
This one is now official. Undertaker aims to go 19-0 at WrestleMania and Triple H tries to avenge his WM17 loss to the Last Outlaw. This'll be a good one with two of the best veterans bringing their A-game. Nice touch having HBK weigh in on the match too.
CM Punk vs. Randy Orton
As expected, this match was announced last night. A slight twist involves Randy facing members of the new Nexus every week between now and WM. If the Nexus member wins, they get to legally be in Punk's corner. If Randy wins, they're banned. Mike McGillicutty was first to bat against the Viper and struck out. He received a punt to the skull for his trouble. Looking forward to this one.
Jerry "The King Lawler" vs. Michael Cole with Jack Swagger in his corner -- Special Guest Referee to be selected by Michael Cole
Cole accepted Lawler's challenge on two conditions: 1) that Cole's unnamed trainer could accompany him to ringside, and 2) that Cole would be able to select the Special Guess Referee. Jerry quickly jumped to accept and Cole introduced Jack Swagger as his trainer. An odd pairing to say the least, but at least Swagger gets some screen time. Lara guesses that the Guest Ref will be Vickie Guerrero which I think is a pretty good one.
Presumed WrestleMania matches:
Rey Mysterio vs. "Dashing" Cody Rhodes
An odd set up for this match with the American Dream Dusty Rhodes swerving Rey on SmackDown. This one won't set anyone on fire, but it'll give Cody Rhodes a chance to shine at WM which is a nice opportunity.
Possible WrestleMania matches:
The Big Show vs. some iteration of The Corre
They did the Big Show/Barrett match on Friday's SmackDown. This feud doesn't seem to be dying down so maybe they'll have Big Show recruit some partners? A four on four tag match would help get more of the guys on the card so how about Big Show getting Kofi Kingston, John Morrison, and R-Truth to go up against the four members of The Corre?
