The previous main events before that were screaming for the World Heavyweight Title to main event, so it's good they've allowed it to do such. Throwing SmackDown! a bone like that occasionally helps them out. ECW could really use that kind of courtesy when they have a big match, too, but like that's going to happen. To be fair, though, I'm sure a Chris Benoit vs. CM Punk match would have headlined at least one PPV this year if it weren't for Benoit going rabid.

SmackDown!'s WrestleMania main event is scheduled to be Edge vs. The Undertaker. Believe it or not, I can actually see them putting this last on the show, seeing as RAW's main event is most likely going to be really crappy. It seems that in recent years, though, the WWE has just thrown caution to the wind, and had the WWE Championship match close the show for no apparent reason. This year might be different for a few reasons, though:

* The Undertaker is one reason. The man had an allegedly great match with Batista last year, and surprised everyone, probably including management. They might remember it and give Taker the big shot because:

* John Cena is gone. If he were still around, he'd be headlining every PPV, and SmackDown! probably wouldn't even get a thought. With Cena gone, SmackDown! at least has a shot.

* The Royal Rumble is the last reason I can think of. The WWE realises how special this event is, but this year they have the No Way Out Elimination Chamber coming in. They might have the Rumble winner headline just to remind people that it's special. Besides, it will probably be Taker who wins the Rumble, which will be the first repeat win since Austin in 2001. I can see the WWE making a big deal out of it.
Noid, I love you, but shit, The ECW headlining a PPV? That shit barely was the main event at their own PPVs. That shit would never be close!

They need a huge name in the PPV, so it will either be HHH or Taker. Whomever they decide is bigger at the time (See HHH, always HHH) and thats your answer. '


Now, if this was Taker's last match, with Edge ending his streak, it is easily last match. Hell, if the streak ends period it goes o nlast.

That is how you seal a PPV.
