lol Tyson burst into the pre-show press conference while Sheamus was talking
John Cena vs. The Rock - Exactly how will The Rock perform in a long main event match after so many years of not doing a singles match. How will the tension be? How will the crowd react? How will they follow what will likely be a series of great matches? And what about the finish?
Undertaker vs. HHH with Shawn Michaels as referee in a Hell in a Cell match - Most figure the HHH/Shawn who was better thing will play out in some form here. What will Undertaker's hair look like without the hat? Is Shawn going to wear a sleeveless ref shirt (I think he is) and super tight shorts (I think not). How can they top last year's match?
C.M. Punk vs. Chris Jericho for WWE title - These guys have been planning for like five months in their minds this match. There is an internal feeling this will be the show stealing match. Either guy can win which also makes it interesting since it's the beginning, and not the end, of the program.
Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus for World title - Daniel Bryan's first real WrestleMania match, so he hopefully gets the time to have a great one.
Randy Orton vs. Kane - A match that a lot of people are forgetting about. Perhaps with good reason. If it goes on late, they may have some trouble. If it goes on early, it should be fine given Orton is a really big star, and Kane is a star.
Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show for IC title - Can Show end his WrestleMania streak of never winning a singles match? If he loses, maybe next year they can do an Undertaker & Show tag team. And yes, I'm just kidding.
Team Teddy (Santino Marella & Kofi Kingston & R-Truth & Booker T & Great Khali & Zack Ryder) vs. Team Johnny (David Otunga & Mark Henry & Drew McIntyre & Jack Swagger & The Miz) with the winner getting to run both Raw and Smackdown - Most expect Team Johnny to win. Expect lots of interference here, between Aksana (maybe), Teddy Long, John Laurinaitis, Vickie Guerrero and Hornswoggle for sure at ringside and maybe more. Will Christian be injured, given that he wasn't last night, and help Team Johnny in exchange for a shot at Sheamus when his ankle is healed up.
Beth Phoenix & Eve Torres vs. Kelly Kelly & Maria Menounos - Give Menounos credit. She's got two broken ribs, has to do Dancing with the Stars tomorrow, and could have easily opted out. But she's a real wrestling fan and will probably do what she can.
Primo & Epico vs. Justin Gabriel & Tyson Kidd vs. Usos for the tag titles - This will air at 6:30 p.m. as part of a Youtube pregame show. If they have time and if people care, this should be a very good match.
