T-Lo v. Johnny Ace Speculation
Now this is merely speculation on my part, and I haven't read anything about plans for this to actually happen, but judging from Raw, it looks like there's a chance that we'll get a match at Wrestlemania involving Theodore Long and John Laurinitas to see who gains control of both Raw and Smackdown.
It would be foolish and downright insulting to have the actual match be between the two of them, so I was thinking that maybe both men will find representatives and THOSE two will have a match. Otunga seems like a pretty clear choice for John's side. Who will be on Teddy's side? Maybe it'll be some sort of multi-man tag match involving Christian/Del Rio/Mark Henry as well? Are they even healthy enough to wrestle yet? I dunno, I'm just thinking about the situation out loud at this point. How do you guys think it'll go down? |

They have 6 weeks to heal.
After the promo at the last PPV, I think there is no doubt it will be Christian, ADR and Henry, and probably Otunga in an 8 man tag. 8 Man tag matches have become a pretty common addition to WM the last few years. We hit this up a bit in the raw thread, would love to see Orton, Kofi, Santino and Anyone else that fits (Returning Rey? Young guy they are pushing like Ryan, Clay etc) facing those 4. |

I like the idea of each of them having a representative, although Christian and Del Rio have been ready to wrestle for a few weeks now and Henry wrestled last night

Oh thank god, I thought you meant I the ring for a second there.
I'm not saying it won't happen, but with MITB allegedly being back on the card, I don't think it could support a multi-man tag match with enough talent to support that and MITB. However, make MITB an even number of people and split them between Johhny's guys and Tesdy's guys for a little team element on top of going for the briefcase and decide it that way and it could be delightful. |

Should have saved this Angle for Bragging Rights if they're bringing that PPV back.

I don't mind Money in the Bank at Wrestlemania, and I actually prefer it there...but do they plan on keeping the Money in the Bank PPV still? If so, it's overkill.

They've already scrapped the Mitb PPV haven't they?
Also yeah I mentioned in another thread where I was trying to fit guys into both an 8 man tag for this as well as a Mitb but ran out of eligible faces quite quickly. |

I would imagine Orton in a bigger role too, but now with the injury to Wade Barrett (who I was thinking would be Orton's opponent), they just might have to shoe horn him in somewhere else.

Teddy Long vs. Johnny Ace *SD, RAW spoilers
As we saw at the Elimination Chamber, several superstars have sided with Johnny Ace and his bid to take over WWE television.
Teddy Long will not stand for this and the feud escalated at the end of this week's live Smackdown. No one wants to see these two in an actual wrestling match and I'm sure WWE management would not put it on. Could there be a potential tag match/ elimination-tag match at Wrestlemania to settle the score? Henry, Christian, Otunga, Del Rio vs. Santino, Justin Gabriel, "blank," "blank," I know there is a MITB match too, but guys like Kofi, Miz, R-Truth, Ziggler, etc.. should be in that... imo. Does anyone think this could go through? Any other suggestions on who could be in the match? Any shocking return entrants or Legends who could add to this? |

So, whatever team wins that person gets power right? Is that how we're doing it. Could just be David Otunga vs. some Smackdown guy for it.

Instead of one briefcase hanging down, have 4. Depending on whick one you grab, it determines which title you get to challenge for within the next year. Like a small added bonus for winning for your GM.

The way Big Zeke keeps getting bodied by Otunga, I dunno if he'll have a spot on the card or not. I'd be fine without him, honestly.

I think an 8-man tag and an 8-man MITB is a great idea. I don't like guys not getting on Mania when a lot of them deserve it.
Team Larry - Mark Henry, Otunga, Swagger, and Cody vs Team Teddy - Big Show, Santino, Big Zeke, and Shaq (I guess) MITB - Alberto Del Rio, Christian, Rey Rey, Dolph, Kofi, Orton, Gaybriel, and R-Truth |

I would rather have ADR, Xian, and Rey in the tag match. It's easier to cover for ring rust if you put them in something where they basically only need to do their key spots than something with the expectations of MITB.
ADR, Christian, Henry, and Otunga vs. Rey, Santino, Zeke, and Khali MITB - Orton vs. Dolph vs. Miz vs. Truth vs. Kofi vs. Drew vs. Gabriel vs. Swagger Throw in Show vs. Cody, Beth vs. Kharma, and Ryder vs. Kane and that's a solid undercard to support the four big matches.

Wouldn't mind having MITB excluded from WM actually just as long it's not scrapped altogether and take place on a different PPV instead.

If the MITB Match is scrapped from WrestleMania, then I wouldn't mind it finding a new home at SummerSlam.
As for Team Johnny vs Team Long, Big Johnny's Team is pretty much set in stone. Alberto Del Rio Christian David Otunga Mark Henry I can see Big Zeke being included in Long's team, along with Santino too, with it possibly being Santino that wins it for the team. I was also thinking that Big Show could make the team, but it's quite obvious from Monday that he'll be facing Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania and most likely for the Intercontinental Championship. So thinking more about Long's team, I could see it being like this.... Ezekiel Jackson Justin Gabriel Santino Marella And a returning Rey Mysterio |

I can't see Jackson and Gabriel getting a WM payday over other people if they are leaving out the Mitb. Maybe put Kofi and R-Truth in their place in those teams.
On the other hand, I've got a feeling we might get Kofi and R-Truth vs Ziggler and Swagger for the tag titles, with one of the teams picking the belts up from Primo and Epico in the next couple of weeks. |

Well I was thinking that, hence why Kofi and Truth aren't on the teams I mentioned. I get the feeling that the Tag Team Championships will be on the line and we'll see something like the Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Match we saw at WrestleMania XX.
If it is indeed a Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Match, then I can see it being.... Epico & Primo vs Kingston & Truth vs Swagger & Ziggler vs The Usos. |

He might win the dark match.
But I can't think of a place for him on the card either. Unless he takes Barrett's place and faces Orton, in what I would imagine being him pretty much jobbing in fantastic style. ![]() |
