WWE Wrestlemania 27 - April 3rd 2011

[Hammy]

Coming out of last night?s RAW and the Royal Rumble, here?s what?s planned for WrestleMania 27 as of now:

* John Cena vs. The Miz, likely for the WWE Title
* Alberto Del Rio vs. Edge for the World Heavyweight Title
* The Undertaker vs. Wade Barrett
* Randy Orton vs. CM Punk
* The Corre vs. Nexus, in likely a 3-on-3 match
* Triple H vs. Sheamus

Jerry Lawler is also scheduled to be a part of WrestleMania and wrestle. Look for his current storyline with Michael Cole to peak in Atlanta.

In the case of Taker vs. Barrett, if Taker can?t work a singles match there is a backup plan of Kane and Taker vs. the four members of The Corre. No word where this would leave Nexus but it might not happen as Taker is telling everyone he will be ready to go.

As far as celebrities for the big show, it?s been noted that WWE has not announced one yet and they usually do the RAW after the Rumble. WWE is still trying to get Justin Beiber to come, which is why Alberto Del Rio made the reference to Beiber on RAW last night.

There'd some decent matches there ^.

...But nothing exiting, they need something uber for wresltemaina not just a few monthly PPV ideas they  haven't got to yet.

Sting would be it, but I'm guessing that's getting a bit carried away probably isn't him .

We want wrestlmaina to be about Shawn Micheals vs. Undertaker, Stone Cold vs. The Rock, Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock there's nothing else on that card.

Last, but not least... Taker's Streak is one of the biggest parts of Wresltemaina each year, Barret isn't a believe-able threat or a legend

That poster is friggin awesome.

For a one off run up to Mania, Sting vs Taker could be stunning!

? According to sources within World Wrestling Entertainment, organization officials? top priority heading into 2011 was signing multi-time champion Steve Borden (a/k/a Sting) to a contract.

As reported earlier, TNA Wrestling sources indicate that Borden did not sign a new deal for 2011. The majority feeling within the Nashville based organization is that he is bound for World Wrestling Entertainment, although nobody knows that as a fact.

The New York Daily News notes in today?s edition that Borden has ?reportedly? signed a one-year contract with WWE. The reported signing, however, has yet to be confirmed elsewhere.

? WWE began running vignettes last night on Raw teasing the return or debut of a mysterious figure wearing a black trench coat on ?2 21 11.? Original plans called for the video to air once, but Vince McMahon called an audible during the broadcast to play it again.

Rey Mysterio is expected to be a part of Money in the Bank this year at WrestleMania, unless they decide to drop the match from the show. WWE officials are going back and forth on putting Rey in Money in the Bank or a singles match with Cody Rhodes.

Former World Champion Lex Luger is reportedly in talks with WWE for an appearance at WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta this year. No word yet on what Luger could be doing but it may be a Hall of Fame induction or something else.

I can see Wrestlemania being something like this as it stands:

World Heavyweight Championship
Alberto Del Rio vs Edge

WWE Championship
The Miz vs John Cena

Undertaker vs Triple H (feat Special Referee Shawn Michaels)

Money in the Bank Ladder Match
John Morrison vs R-Truth vs Sheamus vs Kofi Kingston vs Drew McIntyre vs Wade Barrett vs Kane vs Christian

Rey Mysterio & Big Show vs Cody Rhodes & Kevin Nash

OR

Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio Big Show & Kevin Nash vs CM Punk, Michael McGulitcuty, David Otunga and Mason Ryan

World Tag Team Championship
Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater vs Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov

No DQ
Jerry Lawler vs Alex Riley (w/ Michael Cole)

Add in maybe a Steve Austin and/or J.R. appearance in the Lawler match and throw in a Divas match of some sort and we're done.

Where's Dolph Freakin' Ziggler!! 

[Gnrfan]

i think HHH will fight Sheamus.

I think that the tag title will be defended but probably be Heath & Gabriel vs Santino & Koslov vs Rayne & Otunga so you can continue the Corre/Nexus thing.

Taker will fight Barrett.

Ziggler or JoMo will win the MITB

Sting v Taker and I'd order 'mania!

That said, I'd order anyway. Hmm

Imagine Sting booked with some real flair - keep him silent and mysterious and hope to god he has recovered from that shoulder injury. He could wrestle as recently as a year 2009...but he's a fading force in the ring for sure

[Hammy]

I like The Miz, he's come a long way, but EVERYONE knows now it should be The Rock vs John Cena.  And as unlikely as its sounding, pull the strings and get us Sting vs Undertaker as well.  Give Jerry Lawler a retirement match to, as dumb as it may be to having him going for a World Title, he does deserve at least one 'Mania match, despite his tired commentary and dodgy facelift/fake tan, he once was great!  Oh and bring back Triple H to.  Punk vs Orton, Corre vs Nexus, Big Show vs Zeke (Keep it short).  Give us a star studded MITB to and you have a heck of a card.

Another Undertaker return will be anticlimatic to me. I want them to tease its the Undertaker but swerve with Sting.

Wrestlemania is in Atlanta, So Sting doing a WM in front of the former home of WCW would be major. I could see a one off kinda thing.
not excited about any of those rumored cards to be honest.

[Gnrfan]

Sting would be cool for sure. But no one will beat Taker so i wonder whether Sting would sign up to that?

- As most everyone knows, The Undertaker defeated Triple H ten years ago at WrestleMania 17 back in 2001.

For their current WrestleMania 27 feud, officials have ordered that the WrestleMania 17 match not be brought up and acknowledged because there?s a feeling it will take away from the fans believing that Triple H can end the streak.

Sunny was announced last night on Raw as the latest inductee for WWE?s Hall of Fame Class of 2011. Sunny, who?s real name is Tammy Sytch, commented on the announcement on her Facebook account.

?Thank you to everyone for the congratulatory messages?..It means the world to me,? she wrote. I couldn?t be happier or prouder to be given this amazing opportunity. Thanks to the WWE for thinking that highly of me. And to my facebook family, sorry I had to lie to you all this whole time, lololol. icon smile Sunny Comments On HOF Announcement, Speculates On Who Will Induct Her ?

Sytch persistently denied online reports that she would be announced for this year?s WWE Hall of Fame class, saying as late as yesterday that she was appearing for Ring of Honor during WrestleMania weekend. Sytch revealed today that she kept the news secret since January 10.

Her inductor, however, was not announced. She speculated that all of the current WWE Divas will pay tribute to her by inducting her together.


That video package last night reminded me of how awesome she was!
