Thread will be updated as more matches get announced.

What do you think about the card so far and what other matches do you think will be added to the card?

[ATKOOL]

Wow, hell in a cell. I am looking forward to seeing that. It seems as if more and more evidence say that this will be Taker's last match. Just feels that way with the promos that they have had. I'd still love to see Taker/Cena at Mania next year.

Last Hell in a Cell match @ Mania was 15 w/Big Bossman and Taker. The match sucked of course, but it was a memorable moment nonetheless after the match. Hope Taker wins!!

I want Cena to win as well vs the Rock. Not because I like Cena better than the Rock, but because Cena is going to be doing WWE shows 52 weeks a year unlike the Rock. That is why along with the fact he is going to be carrying the company for years to come as well. Good for the future of the business.

Rooting for Punk to beat Jericho virtually for the same reason as Rock/Cena. Jericho will probably leave again for his band and other projects. Punk will be here!!

I like Bryan far more than Sheamus, but wouldn't be shocked if Sheamus won with the hot streak he has been on. I was shocked he wasn't on the card facing someone.

I'm intrigued as to how they are gonna hold a cell up in an open air stadium.

[PY.]

My guess is they're going to add maybe four more matches.. Here are my predictions:

Divas Championship

Beth Phoenix vs. Kharma (Possibly maybe Trish, not sure yet. One of the two)

Tag Team Championship

Primo & Epico vs. Truth & Kofi

Shaq vs. Big Show

I also think there's going to be something involving Teddy/Ace for control of both brands featuring Del Rio/Henry/Christian/Otunga against a team of Teddy's choice, possibly Orton/Mysterio/Santino and someone else.

This leaves Ziggler, Miz, Kane, and other big names off the card.. Wow.

[AF.]

Sexy card so far. I'm expecting a few multi-man matches to round off the undercard. Kinda disappointing we haven't got anything big for Randy (he seems to never get big matches around WrestleMania time in recent years). If they can get HBK to ref the HIAC that'd be awesome too.

If I were to book the undercard I'd go with something like this

Shaq vs. Show (they better get a move on with this)

Kane vs. Zack Ryder (street fight)

Team Laurinatis vs. Team Teddy Long
Christian, Miz, Alberto Del Rio, Mark Henry and Dolph Ziggler vs. Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara, Kofi Kingston and Santino Marella

I'm intrigued as to how they are gonna hold a cell up in an open air stadium.

I thought about this too. They may have to build a structure over the ring to old the Cell.

[Aniking]

Decided to post my own Wrestlemania card, but I'm having a lot of trouble figuring it out. Here's what I've got so far:

Pre-Show: 26-Man Battle Royal - Alex Riley, Brodus Clay, Curt Hawkins, Darren Young, Derrick Bateman, Drew McIntyre, Ezekiel Jackson, The Great Khali, Heath Slater, Hornswoggle, Hunico, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Jinder Mahal, Johnny Curtis, JTG, Justin Gabriel, Mason Ryan, Michael McGillicutty, Percy Watson, Ted DiBiase, Titus O'Neil, Trent Barreta, Tyler Reks, Tyson Kidd and Yoshi Tatsu

WWE Championship
CM Punk (c) vs. Chris Jericho

World Heavyweight Championship
Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Sheamus

John Cena vs. The Rock

Hell in a Cell
Triple H vs. Undertaker

Big Show vs. Shaquille O'Neal

Beth Phoenix, Brie Bella, Maxine, Natalya & Nikki Bella vs. Aksana, Alicia Fox, Kaitlyn, Kelly Kelly & Tamina Snuka



Left Overs (Undecided)
Alberto Del Rio, Christian, Cody Rhodes, David Otunga, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Kane, Mark Henry & The Miz

Kofi Kingston, R-Truth, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio & Santino Marella

Epico & Primo

There are 7 Superstars & Divas listed on the WWE roster that I failed to mention. Here's who and why:
- Evan Bourne (suspension ends 15 days before Wrestlemania; big cloud over his future with the WWE)
- Sin Cara (ruptured patellar tendon; out until around May to August)
- Wade Barrett (partially disclocated elbow; likely to leave him sidelined for the pay-per-view)
- Zack Ryder (kayfabe back and various other injuries; depends on how long they play it out)

- Eve Torres (no idea what direction they're going with her after Raw, so leaving her out for now)
- Kharma (still technically on maternity leave; hasn't done anything to warrant a Wrestlemania spot anyway)
- Layla (out since May with a torn ACL and MCL; should hopefully return soon, no idea as a face or heel thus why left out)

[Chriss]

What about Cody vs Show? Do you guys think its going to be a big feud or just a little shit that ends this week on SD?

[Darth Shizzel]

So far the card looks great I'm excited because I get to be there for it obviously I won't be able to take photos but it will still be an expierience.

[Dale]

Kinda disappointing we haven't got anything big for Randy (he seems to never get big matches around WrestleMania time in recent years).

I'm pretty damn confident that he'll get into the WHC match as the set up for that is already in place. Would certainly be a sick threeway that's for sure.

[Scott]

What about Cody vs Show? Do you guys think its going to be a big feud or just a little shit that ends this week on SD?

I think this is a good possibility, A lot of Shaq rumors going around but that match is being built and would make plenty of sense.
