Update on the Booking for WrestleMania 27, Possible Top Matches

Quote :

WWE has reportedly decided on a top six-match program for WrestleMania 27 which would mostly be new programs from what is being worked on right now. The top two matches would be John Cena vs. The Miz for the WWE Title and Wade Barrett vs. The Undertaker, which will play off Nexus' involvement in Taker being buried alive a few months ago. This year the booking is a bit different as in years past, officials have had the top WrestleMania matches locked in and a direction laid out. It's important to note that The Undertaker being ready for WrestleMania still isn't a sure thing.

What will Barrett do then if Taker doesn't make it to Mania? Will they just stick him in MITB?

Big show or Kane would be my guess what he does friday/attacking taker could set up the kane fued if they get too worried or continue with what he does up to mania at mania

I think Barret vs Taker at Mania will be shit to be honest and I think Morrison vs Miz would be a better choice than Cena vs Miz

I agree with both accounts Jimmy. I'm still hoping for Undertaker v Cena match at Wrestlemania

they won't do Cena Vs Taker with the little amount of build up it will have

Not this WM, any WM.

I just think that Morrison vs Miz makes more sense in terms of storyline, woud be a better match and everyone knows that Cena will beat Miz unlike Morrison and Miz who would have a more competitive contest and it would be harder to predict. As for Taker Barret, Taker is too broken down and his last run with Kane (baring in mind Im a huge Taker fan) was shite and Barrett is green as grass and I just dont think Taker is up to dragging him to a good match due to his physical condition.

I think Mania 28 will be when Taker and Cena face each other, if Taker has a match at 27 so that if Taker wins the streak will be 20-0. If he doesnt have a match at 27 then itll get pushed back to 29 or 30 just so that Cena will be the "20th Victim". It makes sense, at least I think so anyway.

I may be in the minority but the match I really want to see above all else at the moment at Mania is Cena vs The Rock. If WWE could pull that off, thatd be the biggest match since Hogan vs The Rock. It would be amazing and I'd predict the crowd to be off the hook just like it was Mania 18 with the "new school" fans cheering for Cena as they did for The Rock and the "old school" fans to cheer for The Rock like they did for Hogan. I think just on terms of build up and fan reaction and the true divide it would cause in the crowd would just be insane.

Regarding Rock vs Cena, I really want Cena to be allowed to show what he can do as a heel. I think if he does a really good job, some of the so called "old school" fans may even be tempted to cheer for Cena over Rock.
