Special Guest Host: The Rock
Smart move by WWE, the ratings of Raw and Smackdown have increased because of The Rock, apparently WWE want him to show up live on Raw one more time between now and Mania likely next week and the night after Mania, at Mania he will be involved in the WWE title match, but i see him being backstage on the stage many time during the night.
WWE Title Match
John Cena vs. The Miz
I would not mind seeing this as the last match, this is perfect in my opinion for Cena and The Miz, its good for Cena because he gets to show off his entertaining side on Raw by rapping and doing none PG jokes, something the WWE Universe has been hoping for, for a while. WWE want Miz to be a huge star, this is The Miz's first main event at Wrestlemania, WWE would have trouble selling that as some don't consider him a huge main eventer yet, the fact Cena and The Rock are linked into this gives The Miz a huge chance to make himself a huge main eventer in the future, the way The Miz is trying to keep in the spotlight every Raw, he has ended Raw on the last 3 Raw's and he has done it in awesome fashion. Not sure what The Rocks role in this match will be, don't think he will be referee, should be interesting what WWE does in their next 3 Raw's.
World Heavyweight Title Match
Alberto Del Rio vs. Edge
WWE really need to add Christian to this match, he is mainly involved with the storyline and he has been apart of the WWE for about 10 years (1999-2005) (2008-current) he deserves this chance, he is probably the most deserving of a world title run. This match right now is a match im not hugely looking forward to, like i said if they have Christian in it, it would add excitment. The fact that its Edge and Christian finally teaming with each other for the first time in 10 years on Smackdowns gets me interested, not sure what they can do during the next three Smackdowns, they already used the expected tag match during the last Smackdown. They should take out the personal ring announcer and Brodus Clay, i would like to see Edge and Christian do the con-chair-to on these two, would make it more personal and fair.
The Streak on the Line
Triple H vs. The Undertaker
Something needs to change, its boring just seeing HHH appear on Raw, Undertaker appear on Smackdown then the next week Undertaker appear on Raw, HHH appear on Smackdown, i know both are hurt but i would like to see HHH in a match at least, apparently he is set to wrestle tomorrow night on Raw not sure who he would face though, HHH has also been scheduled to wrestle at a few houseshows, HHH showed us that he is fit to wrestle when he put Sheamus through the table two weeks ago. Undertaker needs to tombstone someone or something, i am not convinced that he is going to be fit for Mania, if WWE wants this to be the main event, they need to make the storyline better, HBK needs to appear on Raw instead of some stupid video package taped about a month ago, its not the same as appearing live. The career of HHH should not be on the line, HHH still has a year or two left in him plus i want to see him beat Ric Flairs world title record, though i do not see him holding the WWE or World title 3/4 more times in 1/2 years.
CM Punk vs. Randy Orton
The fact that WWE used three Raws so Orton can take out the Nexus shows me that WWE doesn't know what they are doing with this fued, apparently WWE want one Nexus member at ring side most likely Mason Ryan, i don't want that, just make it a fair one on one match, this has the potential to be the best match of the night make it one on one though. Last week on Raw was good, but it seems that WWE aren't really focused on this storyline, without Nexus i don't know what WWE can do to heat this storyline, maybe adding Ortons dad to the storyline would make it more interesting, Nexus cost Orton the WWE title in November this should have been mentioned weeks ago, i love the fact Unforgiven 2008 was mentioned i was hoping it would be this time a month ago.
John Morrison, Kelly Kelly and Trish Stratus vs. Dolph Ziggler, Layla and Michelle McCool
Many are against this match but i love it, this match is likely to be made tomorrow night on Raw, one thing though if WWE are trying to make Kelly Kelly the biggest diva in the company which Vince wants to do, why was she not on Smackdown last week or the week before, has she been fired again? Laycool deserve to be in this match not some lame battle royal or 6v6 match, they are the main divas in the company and the most talented mainly Michelle McCool. Trish Stratus should make this her last match, what a better way to go out than a match at Wrestlemania, Michelle is as good as Trish. WWE could have put effort into making a match between Dolph and Morrison one on one but due to time likely was the reason this match was needed, it looks as if WWE are making two Divas matches, the Diva division is improving.
Wade Barrett, Ezekiel Jackson, Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel vs. Big Show, Kane and Kevin Nash
Wade Barrett probably expected better with the year he had, same with Kane both of their careers were affected at the TLC PPV. WWE hasn't put much effort into Kane, so a one on one match was not expected so this match is ok, im not happy he's back to being a face, looks like WWE is trying to forget 2010 as Kane was a big heel. The break he took in January hugely affected him. It probably is fair to give The Corre a match, as the 3 former Nexus members deserve it with the year they had, Ezekiel Jackson could have had a one on one match with Big Show, i would have been ok with that. Kevin Nash will be in this match because of the pop he got at the Rumble, Nash will appear on Smackdown next week or the next, this match will most likely be made in two weeks time.
Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes
This match should be good, Cody Rhodes will get a huge push because of this match, he is talented in the ring and he does have a good character, the build up to this match has been good, anyone noticed that Rey and Orton just swapped opponents this year from last year? well except for Ted DiBiase who's career right now is going no where. This will become a match were Cody tries to remove Rey's mask, this will be on the card quite early in the night and i see this being a good match. Cody needs to wrestle without that stupid mask that he wears that he does not need, Rey should remove it the Smackdown before Mania.
Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole, Special Referee: Steve Austin
Cole's trainer Jack Swagger will be in his corner.
This is another match were i don't know how they can build this up for three more Raws, WWE don't want to put them both on commentary during the build up to Wrestlemania, a sign that JR might be returning is that Jack Swagger is linked in this match, both are from the same state and JR is the reason Swagger is in WWE, Swagger must have thought his career was going to become better and bigger this time last year when he was set to win the Money in the Bank. They should have one Raw were Michael Cole is in a practice arena with Swagger as this shows us that Swagger is actually doing something, this might be Jerrys last match plus the last time he is on commentary, theres no better way he can go out. Tough Enough might be linked into this match with Stone Cole being in the match and that Michael Cole is training for Mania. The Rock and Stone Cold have to have a backstage segment, 10 years ago they were main eventing this PPV. This will be like the Bret vs Vince match, good build up = horrible match, though this year Stone Cold was available to referee it. WWE consider this the third biggest match on the card.
WWE United States Champion Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus
Don't like this match, Byran needs to compete with someone his own size, if history has showed us something its that Sheamus can destroy Daniel Byran, Sheamus also needs someone around his size to have a good match. Daniel Byran deserves a one on one match at Mania but i would rather it was with someone like Ted DiBiase someone he has been fueding with for 6 months now or even Dolph Ziggler or John Morrison. This match reminds me a lot of JBL vs Chris B***** (better not mention his name!) at WM22 for the title. Has anyone noticed that theres an Intercontinental Championship? and that Kofi tolds it, WWE give someone else the title someone who's not boring.
* Another undetermined Divas match will also take place.
Most likely a batlle royal, hopefully its for the Divas Championship have a Divas match that actually means something.
* There will be no Money in the Bank this year.
The Wrestlemania 27 build up has been great as WWE has The Rock, Stone Cold, Trish Stratus, Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels and more appearing every week. 21 days till Wrestlemania and 6 days till my Youtube account is back!
WDS
Good makes the MITB PPV better it was great last year but holding the MITB will mean more if theres one on each brand rather than 3 MITB winners with one only having 3/4 months to cash it in. I love the MITB matches though WWE need to come up with a new type of match for Wrestlemania which gives the mid carders a chance.
