WWE WrestleMania XXVI

[TheWorldChampion]

The biggest pay-per-view of the year comes to Phoenix, Arizona and is guaranteed to blow the roof off the stadium. Probably why they are pulling the roof back.

Announced on WWE's Twitter feed today was that Money in the Bank qualifying matches would be held tonight. So the Money in the Bank Ladder Match WILL be held at WrestleMania!

Edge retains the right, as winner of the Royal Rumble, to challenge either the World Heavyweight Champion or WWE Champion in the main event.

More than a little confused about the fact that we're getting MITB at WrestleManina AND a MITB PPV. All will become clear soon I suppose.

At this early stage here are some of the matches I think will happen, most are obvious anyway.
Taker-Michaels II.
Edge-Jericho.
Batista-Cena.
Orton-DiBiase.
Bret-Vince.

Now if it were to pan out like that it would leave Triple H without a big match. Maybe he could be involved in Taker-Michaels in some way or possibly face Sheamus. Whatever way it pans out it's going to be interesting to watch over the next few weeks as these matches are set up. Hopefully we'll get a far better event than last year.

he most likely will be facing sheamus at mania......still biting my tongue to see if anything changes but thank god he will not bein a world title match at Wrestlemania......thank freekin god.....

now other matches well.....depending on whos in MITB will there be any other titles on the line.....diva's, womens, I.C, U.S or TT titles.....time will tell.....were on the road gentleman

In addition to those matches Irish, I'll think we'll also see CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio in some sort of huge match as well as Sheamus vs. Triple H. I also have this feeling we will get a Unified Tag Title match and possibly Mickie James vs. Maryse or Gail Kim vs. Michelle McCool to unify the Women's Championship and the Divas Championship. Just a weird feeling.

Should be one of the best WrestleManias in recent history.

I'll have to agree that those proposed matches sound likely, although I'd add Rhodes to the Orton/DiBiase match.

I'll also admit having MITB at Mania as well as in July does sound puzzling, but I've enjoyed most of the past matches so I'm fine with that.

[Fighting_Irish]

So we will get HBK-Taker at Mania but this time Shawn's career is on the line. This is certainly interesting. Honestly didn't think that Shawn would be retiring this year but I can't see the streak ever ending, something's gotta give. It'll be one hell of a match though. This stipulation is what was needed to create a buzz around this match that makes it different from last years match. There's more riding on it this time. The two announced title matches weren't shocks and should be good. Card is looking great even at this early stage.

[soupclan]

lookin good....thus far.....can't wait for Jericho-Edge match which i feel should be the main event.....and then theres Batista-John Cena....not your technical wrestlin match but forwhat it is it should be good....

then theres Taker-HBK II.....this i can't wait 4....i wanna see if they can have another match as great as last years....cuold it possibly be better.....am i the only one who found the video of HBK trying to get the match truly amazing.....here's the link for those who didn't see it.....

The only thing I don't like about Taker/Michaels II, although I completely understand it, is the stip. As Fighting_Irish said, this stip needed to be added to seperate this match from last years. The reason why I don't like it though, is I also think the streak won't end, and unfortunately that means the end of Michaels' career.

[TheWorldChampion]

For about six months, max.

[metfan51]

Yep, as long as Vince keeps throwing money at Michaels, he'll be on the roster. Hell of a way to take some time off.

I still think the card is going to wind up being one of the best WrestleMania cards ever.

[taintedorb]

I hope that's true, but for some reason I see it being the end of him wrestling.

[Fighting_Irish]

Card is really shaping up nicely. After the great segment last night with Cena & Batista I'm really excited about this match. Taker-Michaels doesn't need any build up, the names are enough to sell the match. All they gotta do is make sure they make it to Mania without doing anything to fuck up the match. Bret-Vince will hopefully be no more than Bret beating Vince down to give us a feel good moment. And it's great to see that it looks like Sheamus will have a big WrestleMania match with Triple H.

[taintedorb]

Indeed. Definitely agree with Batista-Cena. Also with Morrison and Truth not in MITB, hopefully they will have a triple threat with Mcintyre.

[metfan51]

I have my own theories about Morrison, Truth and McIntyre. In the way the three have been built up in the last few months, it's almost a given that they will be on the Mania card. I can see McIntyre squeezing into the MITB match somehow. As for Morrison and Truth, it seems like the WWE is doing something with the two of them. I think it would be too soon to have them face each other, at Mania no less. Well, there are two of them and you know that the Unified Tag Titles will be defended at WrestleMania so why not?

[taintedorb]

Unified Tag titles match with Truth/Morrison? I could see that happening. As far as McIntrye in MITB, the only thing I can say is it should be interesting how he gets in. if he does of course, with him losing his qualifying match already.
