Leave it to me to make a Wrestlemania card at the absolute last second, but we now know the main events for Wrestlemania 27. I will say that some of my predictions are fueled by the Bleacher Report, which had 10 crazy predictions for Wrestlemania 27. Chances are if you're reading this, you'll enjoy reading that too.
So, judging by all the facts...or supposed facts, this is what I think the WWE is planning for it's biggest PPV of the year.
WWE Championship: The Miz vs. John Cena
This match is official after The Miz defeated Jerry "The King" Lawler, and John Cena won the Raw Elimination Chamber match. It was also hinted at by WM guest host The Rock last Monday when he made his surprising return. It's not the mind-blowing, usual WM main event that we're accustomed to, but I have to guess that The Rock will get involved in some way, shape, or form. (Special referee, enforcer, etc.) This will be the match that will be billed as the "real main event". Kinda sad, but the WWE is trying to add younger superstars into the main stage which should benefit them in the long run. Interesting note? John Cena has won a championship (WWE or World Heavyweight Championship) in 5 of the last 6 Wrestlemanias. Just like a 9 year old kid, the booking crew loves John Cena.
World Heavyweight Championship: Alberto Del Rio vs. Edge vs. Christian
ADR won the Royal Rumble to "earn" the opportunity, but after Edge won the Smackdown Elimination Chamber match, ADR attacked Edge and out came Captain Charisma, returning from a pectoral injury suffered in a match with ADR. The Triple Threat match is set, and it could be a really good one. The Bleacher Report predicted this and it makes sense. The WWE is lacking good top heels at the moment. What if, during the match Christian hits the Killswitch on ADR and is moments away from his "Wrestlemania Moment". Then Edge screws him over, wins the belt and regains his "Rated-R Superstar" bit, setting up...Edge VERSUS Christian. I have a feeling a lot of people would like to see that.
Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Michael Cole
Last night, after The Miz defeated King, Michael Cole, reprising his Joe Buck gimmick perfectly, raised The Miz's arm in victory. This is something that won't sit too well with Lawler, and boom! King gets his WM moment by knocking the hell out of Michael Cole.
The Undertaker vs. Kane...or Wade Barrett...OR STING???
Ok, so this might get a little bit odd, but hear me out. The obvious match for the Undertaker, who will return tonight after being "buried alive" for the 8th time, would be against Kane who defeated the Undertaker in the Buried Alive match...but...it was the Nexus who helped Kane win the match, who at the time was lead by Wade Barrett. But here's the outside of the box thought...
Many people have said that the person in the "2-21-11" promos have not looked like the Undertaker. Well, last week we saw the Undertaker in the promos, but we haven't seen anything from the guy outside the house. Could it be a second person? And who else wears a trenchcoat? Sting does...and he just signed a one year deal with the WWE. It could be that Taker was in his house looking out for someone stalking around the house...and that Sting could be the man outside the house. I assume we'll know more about Taker's match tonight.
John Morrison vs. Sheamus
This could go several ways. They're going to want Morrison and Sheamus to fight, because they've had a series of great matches over the past couple of months. (At the PPV last night, Morrison scaled the top of the dome monkey bars style, and landed a crazy flip while swinging off the top of the dome. As a sidenote, Morrison is must see action everytime he steps in the ring. He also scaled the sides of the dome last night and landed Matrix-style kicks. If it weren't for his furry boots, he'd probably be a WWE champion. I'm sure that's in his future though. They could also stick Daniel Bryan and/or Kofi Kingston into the mix and have some sort of weird championship match. (Remember, Money in the Bank will NOT be at this year's WM)
Randy Orton vs. CM Punk
Another great match on the horizon. Punk has ascended to being the best heel on TV right now, and Orton is being pushed into the role of the next Stone Cold Steve Austin (minus beer drinking, it's a PG show folks). This would resolve the Punk vs. Nexus thing.
Tag Team Championship: Santino Marella/Vladamir Kozlov vs. The Corre (Gabriel and Slater) vs. The Nexus (Otunga/McGilicuddy)
I think the Corre battles the Nexus somehow and this would make sense. You throw the ex-Tag Champs in there for comedic relief (COBRA) and boom. The match wouldn't last long because the WWE doesn't know how to run a tag match if their life depended on it.
Diva Battle Royal
Eve wants to take on new comers. So, you throw all of them in the ring, get it down to the power four (Eve, LayCool, Beth Phoenix) and everyone walks home happy cause they got their eye candy for the night.
Ezikiel Jackson vs. The Big Show
"Big Zeke" has been bodyslamming the Big Show for weeks. Now he'll try and do it in a match. It's stiff vs. stiffer.
Of course, many other things could happen as WM gets closer. It will be interesting to see where this road to Wrestlemania leads fans.
