2013 Raw & Smackdown Schedule: Road to WrestleMania 29

The Road to WrestleMania 29 continues with WWE Raw and Smackdown leading the way to the epic Pay-Per-View. There's been a recently-reported schedule of upcoming live shows and which superstars are expected to be part of the show, or absent.

The PWTorch website reports on March 2nd about the "part time" superstars who will appear on particular shows. They include The Rock, Triple H, Brock Lesnar and Chris Jericho. No mention is made of The Undertaker, yet.

On the March 4th show which will be Monday night in Buffalo, NY, The Rock and Triple H are both scheduled to appear on the show. However, Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar will not be there. The March 5th episode of SmackDown will not have any of the aforementioned stars. Jericho will be at live house shows on March 9th and 10th.

Brock Lesnar and Triple H are scheduled to appear on next week's Raw (3/11/13), as is Jericho, but The Rock isn't. Meanwhile, only Jericho will be on the March 12th Smackdown in Ft. Wayne, Indiana.

Of note, April 7th is the official date for WrestleMania 29 which features John Cena vs. The Rock for the WWE Championship, and a tentative match between HHH and Brock Lesnar. The day after Mania will be Raw from East Rutherford, NJ where The Rock and Jericho are scheduled to appear but Brock Lesnar is not. On the April 9th SmackDown from Boston, John Cena will be in his hometown. Also appearing will be Triple H and Chris Jericho.

Whether or not these appearances indicate potential brawls between feuding stars (i.e. Lesnar & Hunter) or who will win at WM29 remains to be seen. However, is it a spoiler that Lesnar won't be on Raw the day after Mania?
