What a perfect event for my first blog! Wrestlemania 27 is hours away now, and i'm feeling quite excited for this years Mania, on first glance the card may not look as enjoyable as other years gone by, but to me it feels like a new era beggining for the WWE with many young superstars who have a perfect chance to try and steal the spot light on the grandest stage of them all and make their own Wrestlemania moment which in turn could push someone new into that main even spot which the WWE is needing in my opinion.
I've read on other sites people complaining about The Miz being in the main event at Mania, saying he's not worthy for it yet, but what a great oppertunity to change peoples perspective of The Miz, one win over Cena tonight, and that will do wonders for his carear so i'm really hoping to see a rare Mania upset for Cena and for people to start taking The Miz as a serious and credible main eventer.
So lets take a look at how i think it may go down in Atlanta!
Rey Mysterio v Cody Rhodes
Apprently rumors have it that Rey personally chose Cody to be his opponment for this event, and i think this could be one of the show stealers of the night. Cody has done very well with this slight change to his character his promos have been excellent and his in ring skills are always improving. I was one of those who thought it would be Ted running with the ball now, but Cody has shown he deffinatly has something to have been able to step out of Leagacys shadow and be getting his push. Very deserved, and i can see a very bright future for him. Outcome of the match? If Reys notouriuous ego steps aside, Cody would benefit more with the win and use it as another stepping stone towards the world title picture later this year.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
The Corre v Kane, Big Show, Santino & Kovloz?/Kofi?
Apprently at axxess they ran an angle where Kovloz got took out by The Corre? Unlucky big guy! I suppose you can't leave Kofi out of Mania, but i think it's a big mistake leaving out MITB this year, I know it has it's own PPV now but it really was a highlight at Mania! I'm not really interested in this match to be fair, wasn't Kane a psycho a couple of weeks ago? Never mind. I think Kevin Nash should of been in this match. Maybe Santino gets took out? Cant see it though. Would of made it a bit special to see Nash on the card. Corre really need to continue getting pushed
Winner: The Corre
Sheamus v Daniel Bryan US Title
Some websites are reporting due to time constraints this match may be left off the card and placed as a dark match which would be a huge disapointment to me as i'm a fan of both of these guys. The recent burial of Sheamus was baffling, the guy was a former 2 time WWE champion and had gone from being pushed like theres no tomorrow, to winning the king of the ring and to then jobbing to the likes of Mark Henry and Evan Bourne. It really made no sense! I did hate the King Sheamus gimmick, and the outfit and crown was hidious, but he must of really upset someone backstage (rumors are he started getting too arrogant) too of been demoted like that, but luckily for him the office must of forgave him because he came back into favor just in time for Wrestlemania season.
Daniel Bryan has had a mixed year, after the tie-gate inncedent and around Summerslam, he was one of the most popular wrestlers about, and quite deservingly too but since winning the US title and having those excellent matches with Ziggler and Miz , he has been quite under used aside from a mini fued with Ted and that awful angle with the Bellas so hopefully a feud with Sheamus will give him a boost, can't see this one ending yet. Sheamus retains.
Winner: Sheamus
John Morrison, Trish & Snooki v Dolph Ziggler & Lay-Cool
This is the best way they could get two of the most talented wrestlers , sorry 'superstars' into Mania? For shame WWE. I understand the money Snooki will generate, but i feel for the divas who work hard all year then to be left off the biggest show of the year and losing a big pay check. I have no idea how much Snooki will be getting paid, but i'm sure it has got some people who wouldn't normally be interested to watch Mania.
Just for the record, at the HOF last night, when she was seen on the screeen on the trailer, she was booed heavilly so that could be interesting tonight. John and Dolph deserve more than this at the moment, both had a great year, would of been a great one on one. Anyway, Snookis not being paid all that money to lose.
Winner: John Morrison, Trish & Snooki
Randy Orton v CM Punk
A pretty good build up for this match which started back at the Royal Rumble and has seen Randy punt every member of Nexus en route to Mania. I'm not Randys biggest fan, and i find him to be quite dull but if he avoids his 5 move signature, then this could be a very good match. It has been a very heated feud with nexus being eliminated out of the picture, but i'm not too sure Punk needed the Nexus in this storyline, they had run its course a long time ago, for me when Darren Young was kicked out it started its demise, as i didnt really enjoy the original members being kicked out, new members in, new leader, initiations etc etc.. but aside from that is there a better heel than CM Punk right now? Amazing in ring skills, amazing on the mic I can really see a Title run again in the very near future.
Everyone seems to be going for a Orton victory, but i can see this swinging Punks way.
Winner: CM Punk
Jerry Lawler v Michael Cole w/ Jack Swagger Special Ref Stone Cold
I have not enjoyed this one bit. It really hasn't been for me this build up. It seems they are so desperate to give Jerry a Mania match up for the first time that they have him up against a non wrestling commentator? I'm sure anyone could of thought of something better for him. Don't get me wrong the rise of Cole's heel personality has been a highlight of the year and he's done really well with it, but at the end of the day, he's a commentator. Expect run ins for this! I can see someone else becoming involved.. At least Stone Cold will be there though and I bet a lot of people can't wait to see him drop Cole with a stunner, which will be replayed quite a bit I would imagine! Jerrys winning this, with out a doubt.
Winner: Jerry Lawler
Alberto Del Rio v Edge World Heavyweight Title
This has the potential to be the match of the night...but you already know that! ADR has been on an incredible role since his debut and what a way to top it all off by winning the world heavyweight title at Wrestlemania! I've not really spoke to anyone who has Edge down for walking out still with the title around his waist as the momentum is clearly with ADR. The big question with most people is what role will Christian take in this match? I personally think he will turn heel, and cost Edge the match thus inserting himself into the title picture and having a triple threat match then at Extreme Rules, or if he doesn't turn heel tonight I can see it in the run up or at ER. Edge doesnt really make a habit of winning at Mania, and I cant see that trend ending tonight.
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
The Undertaker v Stin..Sorry... Triple H
The Rock, Sting, Wade Barret, Kane are names I heards reguarly linked with taking on Taker's streak at Mania, but despite all the rumors its office boy HHH instead for his first encounter at Mania with Taker ( Apprently were not allowed to remember Taker v HHH at Mania 17, so we all think that HHH actually stands a chance) This could be a very good match but what we have to think of is ring rust. Taker hasn't wrestled since October, HHH has had a couple of matches since April so this will not be the sharpest of contestes, but it has been made a no holds barred match which of course means they won't be stuck wrestling in the ring and gives them some leeway with what they can do with the match to make it memorable. Much like the Edge/ADR match a certain figure who's not invloved poses a few questions. Shawn Michaels. What will he do? Taker retired him last year after losing two years straight to him in two of the greatest matches of all time. I'm still not sure how it will go down. I think Shawn will cost HHH the match saying he couldn't let him do it. (Even after writing that I'm still changing my mind!) Anyway, the streak lives on.
Winner: The Undertaker 19-0
John Cena v The Miz WWE Title
This will be the 7th Wrestlemania in row that has has John Cena competing for the title. And people wonder why others are getting sick of him? John has a massive chance to really make The Miz tonight and this could set up Miz as a permanment main eventer, it's just a shame for Miz that he has been overshadowed by the return of the great one, The Rock. This has now turned into The Rock v John Cena with The Miz just an afterthought which is a big shame for him.
Let's turn our minds back..Wrestlemania 18 2002, Chris Jericho was defending his Undisputed Championship against the recently returned HHH, then Jericho Picked up HHH's ex wife, Stephanie, as his manager and it soon turned into HHH V Stephanie McMahon with Jericho as the afterthought. HHH won the title back that night, and Jericho slipped back down and took about 6 years to get back up to that main event level again. (In his book, Jericho does reveal his frustrations with that main event and his small burial after) Lets hope that won't be the case for The Miz.
What will be The Rock's role? I originally thought John Cena would win the match and Rock would raise his hand, hence passing the torch. After last Monday? I'm not so sure..will he cost John the match, thus setting up a match in the near future? Or will John turn heel which so many people think he needs to do? It's going to be hard to call, either way fans are in for a treat tonight. I think there could be a suprise in store..
Winner: The Miz
