Road to WrestleMania Predictions

[Mr. C]

If WWE doesn’t have John Cena vs. Randy Orton for WrestleMania, they’re foolish. Last year, it was Pay-Per-View after Pay-Per-View with this match, but now Cena and Orton are both faces. It would come off as fresh, and Cena vs. Orton in Atlanta would be insane. Book it.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think they should hold off on running Orton/Cena again. It's been done too many times, fairly recently.

Somebody in another thread mentioned that The Miz would be a good opponent for The Undertaker. I'm inclined to agree.

I like this idea immensely, especially if Taker drops the streak to him.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I really doubt that would happen, but I think the build up and feud heading in would be tremendous.

[Triple Naitch]

Miz/Undertaker would be great. I also kinda wanna see HHH/Cena one more time with a heel Trips.

[jerichoholicninja]

Orton/Cena, even if they are both faces, does nothing to interest or excite me.

[Jordan]

Orton/Cena is a always great and I could buy it again sure. Their last feud was filled with great matches, and Orton has gotten a lot better (which is a lot).

I think that Miz also could challenge Orton at Wrestlemania. I don't like the idea of Taker's streak ending and I don't think it will. Another choice could be Undertaker vs Sheamus at Wrestlemania.

Or we may get Sheamus vs Triple H II at WM, which could be great.

[Aguakate]

...I see Barrett being very high on the card...VERY high. If he headlined against Orton or something, I wouldn't be surprised.

PS: If HBK didn't end the streak, NO ONE will. U can bank on that.

[Wishbone]

Meh Cena vs Orton again wouldn't really be that great atleast not until Orton has been established as a face for a much longer period of time. Taker vs Miz really does nothing for me either at this point I think Taker needs to stick to high end opponents because after HBK I don't think anyone would buy that someone like Miz or Sheamus could end the streak. I'd like to see Cena vs HHH with a heel HHH like Triple Naitch said that would definatly be cool. As for Taker I really wanna see him take on Jericho this year the match would be amazing.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Orton vs. Cena again would be awful. Fuck that. That is a horrible fucking idea. No offense.

It would be awesome if next year Triple H went after 'Taker and his streak.

[rated rjo]

Give Orton another year then they can do Orton / Cena again. That is a match that they have to do btw. No way around it.

[James Steele]

I want to see Triple H take a sledgehammer and force it through John Cena's skull...literally.

I would pay $200.00 for that in a HD.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

It would be awesome if next year Triple H went after 'Taker and his streak.

I don't think they would do another Wrestlemania rematch, but it would be a pretty good match up. Though I think they should give somebody who hasn't had a shot against Taker in a main event go after it.

I think it should be Chris Jericho. It would be "the Best in the World At What he does" taking on the Undefeated Phenom.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Of course no one would buy The Miz as being able to end the streak, but that's the whole point. You can push The Miz to the next level just by having him in that feud. It'd be pretty simple to book, as the wheels have already accidentally been set in motion.

The Miz is sick of the constant disrespect he gets from his peers and the fans alike. He's beeen a multiple time tag champion, a multiple time US champion, and the Money in the Bank winner. The Miz decides that he's going to MAKE the WWE Universe respect him by going after the holy grail in today's landscape...The Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak.

You want to add another level, have The Undertaker beat Kane for the World title and keep it until March, and have The Miz pre-announce (in a very ballsy move) that he's cashing in his Money in the Bank at Wrestlemania against the Undertaker. That way you have another Streak v. Streak concept as no one has ever lost cashing in Money in the Bank.

The Miz goes out there and surprises a lot of people by going toe to toe with the Deadman, but ultimately he falls JUST short. He still gains respect in the process though. You could either have him be humbled and turn face from there or have him be a slighted heel, hell bent on getting the respect that he feels he deserves. Being the only Money in the Bank loser could be fuel for a brand new fire in The Miz.

Book it.

[XCaliber]

WWE doesn't like booking face on face matches anymore in fact I've seen more heel vs heel action as of late if anything it will be Miz vs Cena and maybe Orton will feud with Jericho and that would leave it open for Edge vs Triple H which I've wanted for years.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think a Miz v. Cena program could work.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Actually, Cena will probably be champ again by then, so just substitute him into the proposed Undertaker storyline and it still pretty much works.

[Haze]

:wave:

Seriously I think The Miz is the perfect canidate for going after the streak. We all know that there is no chance he would win, but I feel like the program leading up to it would do wonders for The Miz.

[Next Big Thing]

HHH vs. Taker (The build up could be awesome considering what both guys have done with their careers & Hunter's relationship with Shawn)

Orton vs. Barrett or Orton as a heel vs. Daniel Bryan

Miz vs. Cena

Mysterio vs. Kaval

[Mr. C]

As long as John Cena vs. Randy Orton is the main event, all will be good. Two faces going at it ala Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker.

[Aguakate]

'Taker is about to retire (one would think) and we need to see 'Taker vs Cena...so...if they won't do the HHH vs Undertaker, we NEED to see him vs Cena.

PS: By the way...has Undertaker EVER wrestled John Cena?

[McLegend]

It's Orton/Cena at this point.

[Tazz Dan]

'Taker is about to retire (one would think) and we need to see 'Taker vs Cena...so...if they won't do the HHH vs Undertaker, we NEED to see him vs Cena.

Yeah, on SmackDown a couple of times and Vengeance 2003.

Now tell me, why do we NEED to see this match?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Since I'm not sure how much more Taker has in the tank, a match with Cena seems like a sensible move. Taker/Cena HAS to happen at some point, as Cena's pretty much the only person I could believably see ending it. I'm hoping for Cena to eliminate Taker in the Rumble or something to set it up. A match that big doesn't need the title on the line.

Gotta think Orton will be in the WWE Title Match, I could see him being the champ going in. Would be pretty awesome if Miz were to hold onto his MITB and seek to prove he's the best by announcing after Elimination Chamber that he's cashing in at WrestleMania.

Speaking of MITB, I hope they bring it back for the sake of all the guys that will miss the card otherwise. But if they are running another MITB PPV it's unlikely.

That leaves the SmackDown side. With Taker's feud with Kane probably over by then and him likely facing a big name from Raw...the SmackDown WM picture will be wide open. It may even be a Raw guy that wins the Rumble and winds up challenging the SD champ. Who knows.</font>

[Aguakate]

Yeah, on SmackDown a couple of times and Vengeance 2003.

Now tell me, why do we NEED to see this match?

...we NEED to see this match just to see how far WWE actually goes to push Cena and build him as Superman.

If they let him go over 'Taker at WM, then we'll know that SOMETHING'S up. That'd be like the ULTIMATE test.

Plus, it'd be interesting.

I think we have seen enough to realize that the WWE is willing to push him to the moon and back again to establish that he is Supercena.

If this match is to go down it should be Wrestlemania 28, not 27. The Undertaker is clearly in the twilight of his run, and if he doesn't hang them up after Wrestlemania 28 I will be shocked. And with that in mind, the WWE would be foolish if they didn't use this opportunity to push a younger talent at least once before the Wrestlemania streak comes to a close.

The Miz NEEDS this rub. He is the only superstar that I can think of who even in a loss, will benefit from this match. The program alone could be the catalyst that pushes him into the main event, and keep him there.

The Miz vs The Undertaker for Wrestlemania 27!

Book it!

[Haze]

Plus Cena vs Undertaker will just turn into "who can no sell the others offense more," and do we really NEED to see that?.

[Snowden]

Thing is though, with Wrestlemania being what it is, the 'E needs a legitimate money matchup at the top of the card. I love Miz just as much as the next guy, but Miz/Undertaker doesn't sell nearly as many PPVs as Cena/Taker does. The only way they put 'Taker lower on the card is if they plan on him retiring at 'Mania 28, where he goes out against Cena.

I'm going to guess that the Nexus angle comes to its conclusion at Mania actually. Have Barrett either win the Rumble with overwhelming Nexus help, or have him finally "Cash In" his title shot that he won from NXT. Have the champ (not Cena) put up the stip that its title versus the existence of the Nexus.

Actually, the more I think about it, how sweet would it be to have a Barrett/Undertaker match at Mania?

[Anybody Thrilla]

You wouldn't do Miz/Undertaker because it's not a money match, but you WOULD do Barrett/Undertaker? Come on, fella.

[Snowden]

I think blowing off the Nexus in that match would give it enough cred. Considering that Nexus has been THE main focus on Raw over the past few months, the stable itself is at that point where its a main event type heel. More so than Miz is.

I do see what you're saying though.

[Next Big Thing]

Call me a smark, but if it's Taker's last match I don't want to see it against The Miz. I'd rather see it be Taker vs. HHH... casket match... Trips wins with the sledgehammer... Taker does some magic shit after.... lots of pyro.... marks go crazy... game over.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I would like to see Taker/Miz, but that's under the assumption that this won't be Taker's last Mania.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Orton defeats Sheamus for the title then loses it to The Miz
CM Punk defeats Kofi Kingston to retain
Taker defeats Cena in a non-title match

[Anybody Thrilla]

What is Punk retaining?

[Aguakate]

What is Punk retaining?

Water, maybe?

[Snowden]

The WHC, I'd imagine.

[Aguakate]

It' d be AWESOME (pun intended) to see The Miz cash in the Money in the Bank and win one of the 2 World Titles at WrestleMania to end the show...it would REALLY push him, to have the visual of him celebrating to end the show and set up next night's RAW, but...geez, WWE would REALLY have to strech out him not cashing the MIB...causse we are like 7 months away from WM. If they're going to do it (I don't think they will), they're going to have to do it in a way that doesn't get boring, and doesn't let fans forget that he did win the MIB.

[Anybody Thrilla]

It's pretty sad to think that seven months seems like a long time for a storyline anymore.

I think it can still be done in today's landscape, though. If he just keeps carrying around that breifcase, it will be a constant reminder that he won Money in the Bank. After a while, if he just goes on about his business regularly, the case will become so engrained into his character that people won't even be sitting there waiting for him to cash in. When he finally DOES though, it'll seem like a big deal. That's what I think, anyway.

I really wish Ken Kennedy would have stayed healthy after he won the case to see if they would have made good on his promise to cash it in at the next Wrestlemania.

You are also talking about the biggest PPV of the year, that pretty much sells it self every year.

[Snowden]

True, but you've still got to book it as such.

[Anybody Thrilla]

In seven months, anything could have happened.

[Mr. Pierre]

I'd like to see Orton challenge The Miz for the title. I could see Orton's championship chase getting even hotter by around the Rumble. He's in a Championship match against (argument's sake) Wade Barrett.

The match is getting pretty dramatic, near falls and what not. Orton hits an RKO, but it sends Barrett rolling to the outside of the ring and it takes Orton a few seconds to get to his feet since he's spent. Meanwhile, the Miz runs out and hits Orton with the briefcase, knocking him out. He cashes in the MITB, making it a triple threat match, and he pins Orton to the win the Championship.

By January, the audience is gonna be going insane for Orton to take the belt, and by having Orton come within seconds of it, only for Miz to come out and ruin everything will get him massive heat, and will really add a lot of steam to Orton's title chase that can be culminated at Mania.

[Jeritron]

Orton/Cena should have main evented a Wrestlemania but I think they've done it so much in the past couple years that they should hold off on it for a while.
I'd rather see it approached from an Orton face/Cena heel angle down the line in a couple years.

I don't know what we'll be looking at this year. Probably something big for the Miz. Other than that it will probably be the usual suspects in some configuration.

[Swiss Ultimate]

What is Punk retaining?

The belt he'll win.

I don't think 7 months is a long time for a storyline..quite the contrary, I enjoy a good storyline that has good build-up, emotion, etc. But in today's world, where we live in a "microwave society", where if you want to eat something, u grab it, put it in a microwave and in 3 or 5 minutes u have your meal, I don't know if the WWE would take the time to do so, OR if the fans would appreciate a good storyline like that. Most likely they'll start complaining about how they keep "dragging it out".

[Brock]

wwe can just trade.. taker to sheamus... and then taker may face cena or miz.. and if goldberg returns for his last match... i probaly choose taker to face him.. heel cena vs babyface miz would be great.. cant find any opponents for orton.. than cm punkk.. SES can work to a babyface orton.. but my dream wrestlemania match.. is the showdown of sheamus and drew mycintyre.. i want to look to the future.. thats why wwe may trade taker/punk for sheamus..
