Has CM Punk Gone Too Far?
On a night dedicated to the memory of the late Paul Bearer, it was CM Punk who managed to steal the spotlight, and the urn of The Undertaker. The night would begin with CM Punk interrupting Undertaker's tribute to his father and offering his apologies for The Undertaker's loss. At Wrestlemania. Punk's disrespect would also infuriate Kane, who he would go on to face in the nights main event in a no-disqualification match. After suffering a loss after a distraction by the Deadman, CM Punk took hold of the urn and proceeded to repeatedly maul Kane with it before retreating from The Undertaker. Will Punk pay for his disrespect, or does he have more tricks up his sleeve to continue one-upping the Undertaker heading into Wrestlemania? Either way, there's no going back now for CM Punk.
Challenge Accepted?
Brock Lesnar has accepted Triple H's Wrestlemania challenge, sort of. Lesnar and Heyman would respond to The Game, after an F5 to each of the New Age Outlaws, with a challenge of their own. Lesnar and Heyman want Triple H to sign a contract for the match before they reveal Brock's chosen stipulation, or maybe even multiple stipulations. Triple H will respond to that challenge live on Raw this week.
Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta. 'MANIA!
Last week's Smackdown saw a new match added to the Wrestlemania card, as The Shield will take on the team of Randy Orton, Sheamus and Ryback. Orton and Sheamus were given a choice as to who would be their third man, and The Big Show made it clear that he wanted that spot. However Ryback was the immediate choice and the stage was set for another colossal six man tag team match on April 7. That wasn't all that went down last Friday, as The Shield would attack Orton and Sheamus backstage before powerbombing Ryback in the middle of the ring. This left Ryback vulnerable to Mark Henry, who gave him three consecutive World's Strongest Slam's. Will Ryback and Henry come to blows again on Monday, and what part will The Shield play in Monday night's proceedings?
