The road to Wrestlemania guessing game...

[larryyadao]

As we all know, most of us have predictions about what's next for everyone in the next coming months leading to Wrestlemania. However since TJR has a forum, and I don't need to fill his facebook with all our predictions, i'm going to start one here lol.

I seriously think if Punk loses the title before Mania, it's going to be tough to put him in the main event at Mania. I seriously would love to see Brock cost Rock the title, and them set up Brock and Rock II at Wrestlemania. Brock is already on the main poster with Rock, so why not set something up with the two? They both aren't on regular tv, and with Rock's tv feeds and Heyman still on TV, they can still do some building. This could lead to Cena getting the "Final showdown" with Punk with Cena finally capturing the gold.

However, they may lead Rock into winning the title. If Rock wins the title, I would NOT be surprised if Punk ended up being the 30th participant in the Royal Rumble, WIN the Rumble, which then possibly set up a triple threat between Rock/Cena/Punk at Wrestlemania..

There's always the choice of also having Ryback win the Rumble and facing the Big Show at Mania for the title.

Then of course, there is everyone saying Undertaker is coming back to win the Rumble and face Punk.. I don't see this happening since Taker would PROBABLY have to lose the title at the next PPV or even next on Raw. It would be an AMAZING Raw but it would kinda damper the Mania build up for the match.

So many different ways to book it. Most of them are pretty fun. But here is my WISH list and REALISTIC list of the main event(s) picture:

Wish List Main Events:
Cena vs Punk(c)
Rock vs Brock II
Ryback vs Big Show vs Sheamus vs Orton (Opening the show, and if Ryback wins, it would be great to see Orton turn heel and RKO Ryback after the match)

Realistic Main Events:
Cena vs Rock vs Punk (c) (Punk doesn't get pinned continues that he's still champion, which then he keeps the belt and Cena debuts the new title)
Brock vs Ryback
Orton vs Sheamus(c) (Orton wins, Ziggler cashes in)

So I know i'll probably come up with more, but that's what I got for now? Would like opinions and your own lists to see.

I just simply don't see WWE having Punk beat Rock at this point, although if they were going to, a Brock interference would be the best way to go about it. Perhaps what they might do is have Rock win and then Punk immediately win it back the next night on Raw or something. Either way, with regards to 'Mania, my best guess is that we'll see Cena vs Rock again and either Brock vs Taker or Triple H if Taker isn't ready. As for Punk... no idea.

If it were me, I would go with:

Punk (c) v Rock v Cena-- WWE Title
Brock Lesnar v Undertaker
Big Show (c) v Ryback-- World Title
Orton (Heel) v Sheamus
Mysterio v Sin Cara

Not sure about Ziggler and Daniel Bryan. The only two I'm not sure about. Personally, I would have Ziggler either cash in at this event or just after it, but we'll see what happens.

I have no interest in Triple H/Lesnar 2 or Cena/Rock 2, i know that was the rumor circulating a few months back but I think/hope Vince & company would be smart enough to throw a curve ball in there somewhere as WM's main features shouldn't be rematches we've seen within the previous year.

With the most recent news about the Undertaker saying he will be at WM and had a storyline idea that doesn’t involve Ryback or Triple H i could see Lesnar/Taker, the only concern there would be how healthy Taker is and it would require Lesnar to tone down his in ring work which could take a lot away from the match itself. I could write pages and pages about how i feel about UT's WM Streak but ill just say this; Lesnar coming in and jobbing to a 47 year old veteran who's body has seen better days isn’t something i want to see. I could make the same argument about CM Punk if he gets booked against UT. Its pretty clear this streak isn’t going to end at this point so as much as I enjoyed last years HIAC match I cant see myself getting too invested in another UT Mania match when I know he isn’t going to lose.

As far as Rock/Cena, we know what this is, Cena did the job last year and now it's time for the Rock to return the favor. I don’t hate Cena or even mind him getting the belt again I just think the lead up to their WM 28 match made Cena look like a cornball. Headlining WM with the same match for a second year in a row in my opinion isn’t a good idea.

Then we have the Steve Austin factor, is there a chance he costs Punk the title @ RR? Sure, and I’d lose my mind if that glass breaks and he hits the stunner on punk leading to a WM match. The promos alone would be amazing in my opinion and I think they could deliver a very compelling match. Now maybe Austin isn’t healthy enough, or maybe he is waiting for WM 30 I don’t know, I just know Austin/Punk would be more interesting that Cena/Rock II in my opinion. But if you did Lesnar/Taker and Austin/Punk I’d find it hard to believe we’d also get Cena/Rock II on top of that, I don’t think a WM card has/will ever be stacked that big with main event matches.

Sheamus is their top guy on Smackdown so I see him competing in a world title match, I don’t think Big Show will be involved I think he will end up wrestling Ryback at Mania. So that leaves us with Sheamus, Ziggler, and Orton. I could see a three way dance at Mania w/ Ziggler coming in the champion and retaining it successfully in NJ. Or Orton/Sheamus w/ ziggler cashing in afterwards.

Whatever they do I just hope its worth my time as I’m making the short commute from south to north jersey for the show with some friends.
