WWE's Wrestlemania Game Plan
No Way Out set the stage for some interesting matches at Wrestlemania, and we still have several matches to be set up. The most interesting/surprising part of the Pay Per View had John Cena robbed in his quest to take back the WWE title. Randy Orton intentionally disqualified himself which we've seen him do a few times before. However, it still leaves the door open for John Cena to be a part of the Wrestlemania main event. Cena has the legitimate gripe that Orton screwed him out of the title, but also there is the fact that Cena's Rumble win made him the #1 title contender for Wrestlemania. It will be interesting to see if Cena is WWE champ when the big event hits, or if we have a Triple Threat match: Cena vs. Orton vs. Triple H.
The other situation is the return of The Big Show where he got into a fight with boxer Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather got the "upperhand" literally, but I question the WWE's decision here. Will they be putting Big Show in a boxing match against Mayweather for WM24? WWE loves to do all sorts of sports and celebrity promotions but this one makes little sense as Show is trying to make his WWE comeback. While boxer Mike Tyson was part of a previous Wrestlemaia, he was a bigger name and story that even ESPN covered. No disrespect to Mayweather, but Big Show should be in a wrestling match at the big event. It might have made more sense for him to attack Rey Mysterio during the World Heavyweight title bout, or someone like Great Khali or Big Daddy V from the elimination chamber. This would set up a new feud and Wrestlemania match. Mayweather wouldn't enter a losing situation at Wrestlemania 24 so it might spoil Show's return.
Here's some predicted matches for the Wrestlemania 24 card:
Big Show vs. Floyd Mayweather (Boxing match?)
CM Punk vs. Chavo Guerrero (ECW Title)
Finlay vs. Mr. McMahon (for rights to Hornswoggle)
Ric Flair vs. Mr. Kennedy (Career Threatening match)
Shawn Michaels vs. Jeff Hardy (Intercontinental Title)
Undertaker vs. Edge (World Heavyweight title)
John Cena vs. Triple H vs. Randy Orton (WWE title)
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Tag team title matches
Diva match
Both tag titles will probably go on the line as well. I think Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore entertain fans pretty well, so it would be surprising if they weren't involved in a match. The Smackdown tag titles may move off Morrison and Miz to possibly Ryder & Hawkins prior to Wrestlemania. Carlito and Santino Marella seem like top contenders for Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly as well.
You also have to figure there will be a diva match. It should either feature Playboy divas Ashley and Maria or possibly Mickie James taking on Beth Phoenix to recapture the Women's title. Candice Michelle might also make her return to recapture the Women's title.
