With WWE Elimination Chamber in the books we're now 48 days away from WrestleMania 29! Here's what's been confirmed so far:
2013 Royal Rumble winner John Cena will challenge WWE Champion The Rock in a WrestleMania 28 rematch.
Jack Swagger won the World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender at WrestleMania Elimination Chamber Match last night.
Alberto Del Rio defeated the Big Show at Elimination Chamber and barring a Dolph Ziggler Money In The Bank cash-in, will face Swagger at WrestleMania.
Here's how I think the rest of the WrestleMania Card will look:
Dolph Ziggler will probably face Chris Jericho and possibly cash in MITB on the winner of the World Championship match, which I'm hoping if he does takes place before his match with Y2J. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing 2 World Heavyweight Championship matches (well technically 3). Wishful thinking but it is still a possibility.
Randy Orton will probably turn heel soon and will likely be facing off against a top babyface and if the internet is right he will be going up against Sheamus at WrestleMania.
Ryback will likely go one on one with a monster heel either Big Show or Mark Henry. The reason being WWE wants to create a WrestleMania moment with Ryback shell shocking either one of those two big men. Henry makes more sense as he's on a rampage and Ryback could be the only one capable of stopping him.
CM Punk will be in a main event match and will likely face The Undertaker if Taker decides he wants to wrestle this year. If not I can see him being thrown in the WWE Championship match.
Brock Lesnar will obviously be facing Triple H after Lesnar returned to WWE a few weeks ago and F5'd Triple H's father-in-law Vince McMahon. Triple H will return soon, say he wants to avenge Vince and himself after his SummerSlam loss and who knows maybe we'll see this one inside Hell In A Cell.
Kane and Daniel Bryan look to be imploding so they will likely face one another.
Rey Mysterio vs Sin Cara was discussed but who knows what's going on with those two in terms of injuries.
I'm sure The Shield will have a spot on the card, Antonio Cesaro will likely defend the US Title in some way and Wade Barrett will probably face Bo Dallas for the Intercontinental Title.
And if WWE remembers the divas, the only Divas Championship match that would make sense would be AJ facing Kaitlyn. If the match does happen, face or heel AJ will probably get one of the biggest pops of the night. I could see her doing what Christian did at WrestleMania 18: her music hits, hometown crowd pops, then Justin Roberts will bill her from Tampa, FL. *If anyone can find a video of Christian's WM18 entrance I'd appreciate it, couldn't find a good one.
What I speculate isn't final but some of those matches could turn out to be true. Who knows what they'll fit into the 4 hour show and half hour preshow.
Here's a quick rundown:
John Cena vs The Rock (c) for the WWE Championship (Confirmed)
Jack Swagger w/Zeb Colter vs Alberto Del Rio (c) w/Ricardo Rodriguez for the World Title (Confirmed)
Dolph Ziggler vs Chris Jericho
Ryback vs Big Show or Mark Henry (Probably Henry)
CM Punk vs The Undertaker
Brock Lesnar vs Triple H (Hell In A Cell?)
AJ vs Kaitlyn
Kane vs Daniel Bryan
The Shield will be on the card
Wade Barrett vs Bo Dallas (YouTube preshow?)
I'm sure things will begin to start falling into place and the next 48 days are going to be interesting for WWE. I will be in attendance at MetLife Stadium on April 7 in Section 345 and I'm sure WWE will do a good job with the show. Before I end this post I'd like to share what my view for the show of shows will look like:
took this picture prior to the Chargers-Jets game back in December, my seats were actually on top of the Jets tunnel (diagonal) but I decided to go up to the 300 level to see the view I'll have for WM29.
Stay Tuned for another blog post coming up before the end of the month!
