Hey maybe Cena could turn heel! I know, amazing idea!

Not gonna happen guys. Cena is way to big of a cash cow for WWE at this point. And with CM Punk not quite having the backing of Vince and HHH like Cena or someone like Jericho gets, he's not gonna take that top spot anytime soon. While I would love for Cena to turn heel, or at least inject some Heel-ish qualities to his character, more than likely like Rappy said it's just gonna go back to the status quo once WM craziness dies down (ie: RAW after WM).

The best we could possibly hope for with Cena is him taking time off for whatever reason (hopefully not injury or anything serious) and then come back with a character tweak or even a heel return then. It's worked wonders for others in the past, and that's literally the only way I could see Cena going heel. Being gone for 1-3 months or something, then BAM comes back as a bad guy screwing Punk or someone else out of the title or MitB or something and blamo, IWC is happy. Until they aren't happy anymore, which will probably take a week.

They have done that already and inside HIAC.......Makes no sense to do AGAIN HHH and HBK.

could say the same about taker vs hhh

It makes no sense, but it's a marque match up with big names. Why else do you think we have Undertaker/HHH (WM) 3 this year? Not to mention if HBK does screw HHH out of the win (which is really the only logical way to do it if you have HBK interfere in any way) they have an entire year to build up a great story line with guys who can actually show up (no knock to Undertaker here, it's just a fact by now) and are pretty good on the mic and can do great promos and act pretty good.

My prediction for wm28

The Rock vs. John Cena, Winner - Cena

Triple H vs. The Undertaker, Winner - Undertaker

CM Punk ? vs. Chris Jericho, Winner - Punk

Daniel Bryan ? vs. Sheamus, Winner - Sheamus

Cody Rhodes ? vs. Big Show, Winner - Cody Rhodes

Randy Orton vs. Kane, Winner - Orton

Team Teddy (Santino Marella (captain), R-Truth, Kofi Kingston, Zack Ryder, The Great Khali and Booker T) (with Hornswoggle) vs. Team Johnny (David Otunga (captain), Mark Henry, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, The Miz and Drew McIntyre) (with Vickie Guerrero), Winner - Team Teddy

Maria Menounos & Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix & Eve Torres - idk lol

They have done that already and inside HIAC.......Makes no sense to do AGAIN HHH and HBK.

HHH and HBK has never faced one another in a singles match at WrestleMania. The only time they were in a match was WrestleMania 20 with HHH vs Benoit vs HBK in a triple threat match.

So doing HHH vs HBK (on a bigger level) I guess would be awesome if HBK is declared to wrestle by doctors. If this match happens, it will be personal and will be about who is the best!

[Mazhar]

On Lesnar vs. Austin

Doing Lesnar vs. Austin makes sense and it will be a showtime really, it will be awesome. Remember the last time Lesnar was in the WWE ring? Guess what, he got stunned by Austin (WrestleMania 20).

And I clearly remember the build of Golberg vs Lesnar for WM20 with Austin referee. Remember when Lesnar stole Austin's ATV and Austin appeared on SmackDown to fight with Lesnar? That was awesome.

Okay I changed my mind about the Undertaker. I do believe he will win. I seriously hope he retires after this, though. He looks pathetic. I understand he is getting older, but he looks like he lost all muscle definition, lol. Not really fair to have him come back once a year and wrestle a match when all the other guys put the work in every single day. Not hating on Taker, I love him. I just think it is his time to call it quits. So my updated predictions, and I am not changing this after this:

The Rock vs. John Cena - If a few years ago I was told this match would take place, there is no way in hell I would want Cena to win. But realistically, I think it will be better for the company and more fair for Cena to win. I really hope he does, and that perhaps The Rock will win the rematch or something. The victor of the rematch won't really matter in my opinion.

Triple H vs. The Undertaker - Okay so here is where my change takes place. I do see the Undertaker winning. I do not think HBK will interfere, I think it will be called fairly. I cannot imagine this match being as good as the hype would lead everyone to believe as Undertaker is so worn down (HHH is getting up there in age, as well).

CM Punk ? vs. Chris Jericho - For the love of God, I hope Jericho wins. This is the match I am the most excited for - and wrestling wise, I believe it will be the best. Nothing against CM Punk, but Jericho is my favorite wrestler ever.

Daniel Bryan ? vs. Sheamus - WWE has a lot of faith in Sheamus, it seems. I love him, the whole Irish-born deal and his look. Daniel Bryan has grown a bit stale. He has generated more heat, but I don't think it is the good kind.

Cody Rhodes ? vs. Big Show - Cody Rhodes overacts so horribly. Some people see this as a good thing, but I find it to be quite annoying. This is another snooze fest of a match, oh well.

Randy Orton vs. Kane - This is another match I do not care about. They did not build it up very well. Just like that picture Rappy posted, they are having a match over a handshake...bizarre.

Team Teddy vs. Team Johnny - I imagine Teddy Long is nearing the end of his bigger role as GM. As horrible as Johnny Ace is, I believe his team will win. The superstars in this match are an awesome mixture, for the most part.

Maria Menounos & Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix & Eve Torres - Honestly...why take an already suffering divas division and add a celebrity to the mix to make it even worse? I do not care at all about this match.

The reason I see Rock winning is because, well, he is Rock.

I can see the match ending in some sort of handshake or something, and Rock appreciating Cena there or afterwards, that how good he is and whatever.

I just don't see how Cena will win over Rock. :s

[Muhammad Farrukh]

CM Punk ? vs. Chris Jericho - For the love of God, I hope Jericho wins. This is the match I am the most excited for - and wrestling wise, I believe it will be the best. Nothing against CM Punk, but Jericho is my favorite wrestler ever.

No kidding

That is what we are expected to see at Mania. Remember WM22? When HHH tapped out of Cena? And then WM23 when HBK tapped out of Cena? They both were embarrassing matches in the history of WWE. And this year Cena will get pushed further when he is "most probably expected" to defeat The Rock. It will be a shocking moment, a one embarrassing moment for the Rock and for the fans.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

We'll see :s

On the other hand, Jericho must NOT lose.

Seriously people, Jericho deserves this one. He deserved the rumble, he should've gotten it too, but he most definitely deserves this one

[Rappy Veteran]

Jericho I think will win now he has signed a long term contract to involve himself with wwe in some form

Update on Taker?s future

Sources are still under the impression that The Undertaker won?t be retiring this year and that he will be back for another match at WrestleMania 29 in New Jersey.

WWE has already been working on ideas for next year?s top matches.

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

This should put any speculation as to whether or not this is Taker?s last WM or not to rest.

triple next feud is with Shawn when he will screw him in hell in a cell and it will be the last match shawn and triple h

Undertaker does look horrible though. Well then again, the pictures of him so far are all grainy crappy pictures that don't paint him in the best of lights (literally). But man he sure looks like he lost weight (which may be a good thing for his size, not sure) and looks even more brittle than ever. I hope he doesn't put HHH up for the last ride and drop him on his head :|

[Rappy Veteran]

I just want to see Hells Gate again! :D

So, just thinking...

The top 3 matches in this years Wrestlemania involve part-time wrestlers:

* The Rock

* The Undertaker

* Chris Jerico

Not to mention:

* HHH isn't going to be working the touring schedule of most wrestlers*

* HBK is supposedly "retired"

[Rappy Veteran]

I for one would love to see Brock back next year

How well would a monster like Brock work in a PG WWE era? It's hard to be a monster when you can't act like one.

yeah I think maybe they wouldn't play it like that...just have him return and cause a fracas over the way he left...not sure what UFC would think though

[htcz]

could say the same about taker vs hhh

I consider that different. Basically HIAC matches just end things: Its overall the complete end of all feuds. I do remember (IMO) HHH and HBK having a great HIAC.

Former WWE Superstar Dave Bautista (Batista) has arrived in Miami and is awaiting transportation from the WWE, according to the Wrestling Observer. There is no news on whether or not Batista will be involved in WrestleMania in any way, but we will update the situation accordingly if/when information becomes available.

Batista has not been seen in the WWE since May of 2010, and reportedly said in an interview that he would not be back "any time soon" due to being unhappy with the direction of the company.

Rumors have been making their rounds about Brock Lesnar being involved in this year's WrestleMania. The Observer also ran a recent news piece on Lesnar's status, with an update by Dana White that Lesnar is no longer under contract to the UFC due to retirement.

Another exclusive update from PWTorch is reporting that former WWE Diva Lita has arrived in Miami and checked in at her hotel. Lita has not been advertised for WrestleMania, or any WWE Axxess events, but has made infrequent appearances for the WWE in the past. It is more likely, however, that she is in Miami to support Edge as he is being inducted into the Hall of Fame tomorrow night.

According to an exclusive correspondant for PWTorch, WWE Hall of Famer and current TNA talent Ric Flair has been seen arriving in Miami, and recently checked in at his hotel. Flair, who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008, is scheduled to be inducted again, this time with the legendary Four Horsemen.

During a recent interview conducted for CBS Radio by Chad Dukes,WWE star John Cena had the following to say about his real life animosity towards The Rock:

"The problem I have with Dwayne is the problem I?ve always had ? you say you dig the gig, then f?n show up. That?s the animosity I think a lot of our guys have.

Showing up for the important (dates) is fine, but when you show up for the important ones don?t act like you were never gone. Here?s a guy who?s been gone for seven years, comes back and the first thing he says a year ago is, ?I?m never leaving again and I love this place.? Dude, you just got back off a seven-year hiatus."

On the subject of Cena calling out The Rock's promo notes written on his wrist, the article reads:

So, when the former champion from West Newbury, Mass. saw that The Rock was having a hard time leaving the scripted world of Tinseltown behind and had written talking points on his forearm, he seized the moment and cut perhaps the most memorable promo in their build toward WrestleMania.

?That was something I saw right there. I wouldn?t have even said anything if I didn?t see it,? Cena recalled. ?When I watch TV and I?m in the ?Gorilla Position,? which is right before you go through the curtain, and they have a TV there? I couldn?t believe it. Once I saw it the words became bigger and larger and his body was covered in words. It was like, I couldn?t ignore it. It became like the giant mole on the face. I had to.?
