News on WWE WrestleMania Card Revealed, Undertaker’s Return, Lawler

While WWE presently lacks that “big match” to tie the WWE WrestleMania card together, pieces of the puzzle are finally starting to fall into place.

As confirmed on last night’s RAW, Royal Rumble winner Alberto Del Rio will be challenging the World Heavyweight Champion at ‘Mania. Although there is talk that Edge might lose the belt to Dolph Zigger in the interim, the ultimate WrestleMania plan still calls for Edge to wrestle Del Rio as the defending champion.

On the RAW side, John Cena vs. The Miz looks to be the plan for the WM main-event, although the challenger will not be formally determined until Elimination Chamber.

Jerry Lawler is not expected to win the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber–the belief is that Michael Cole will again interfere to keep Lawler from topping Miz. That would produce some sort of Lawler vs. Cole dynamic for WrestleMania, possibly with Alex Riley representing Cole in the ring.

According to F4WOnline.com, Undertaker vs. Wade Barrett remains the plan for the show. Undertaker is telling everyone that he will be ready, but if it turns out he needs to be protected in the ring, there has been talk of actually pairing Taker with Kane for a match against all members of the Corre.

If the Taker-Barrett match indeed happens, the other members of the Corre would likely wrestle three Nexus members, with CM Punk in his own singles match with Randy Orton.

The Observer adds that Sheamus vs. Triple H is still on the cards even though HHH has still not made his long-anticipated return to action.

  1. im really pissed off watching mon nite raw and other events , from the corre new nexus bunches of as.holes !useless gutless interfering in matches , so wat that m.f anonymus raw manager or shit will do to stop it? he should consider hw many millions r watching wwe n pay their money to watch or buy tickets!! M.cole another as.hole acts like the Miz sleeps with him or his mum , yeah thats how he loves him!Riley a puss! both also interfered in lawler’s match.
    Pissed off n tired watching same shit! wwe is no more like before! For hw long this will go n go n go on??? No to forget that dirty bitch v guerrero!! disgusting irritation annoying evil!

  2. i think that it will be wade barrett vs undertaker at wrestlemania 27 rest in peace wade barrett 19-0 all the way .

  3. We agree with ” bluC on February 1, 2011 at 5:40 pm “.All the interfernce from outside the ring. From ( the nexus,A-rod,the core,Alberto Del Rio’s ring anouncer, vicky guerrero and that lame syrupy duo that call themselves ” laycool” that should be laidoff instead.They need to grow a pair, be a man or woman. All these people teach to the younger generation is that its ok to cheat and do whatever you want as long as you win by all means. In real life this could get someone killed… Whatever happened to INTEGREDY, SELFWORTH. Anymore when these people come on we change the channel, sometimes we come back sometimes we dont. I have been a wrestling fan for over 40 something years. And we am sorry to see the sports entertainment show end up to this. We are getting to the point were we dont care if we watch anymore.And yes we know that there are other shows on tv we dont have to watch wrestling .

  4. I was hoping to hear some new Sting vs The Phenom talk for WM27, but have not heard anything since last week. Unless HHH takes some major ‘roids (he did not look that ready to wrestle at Lind’s election), how can he be ready so soon for WM27? I just hope there are some nice Divas (esp. Kelly Kell) at WM27. Gotta have the Divas, Vince!!!

  5. i can not wait til the dead man comes back be aware then coore and nexcus then for the wholey grail ( witch belt will he go for )
