OK guys, here's the place to post any rumors you've heard concerning matchs for WrestleMania XXI. Here's all I can think of offhand (nothing that most in-depth fans don't know I'm sure, but nonetheless...):
-The Rock will likely not be seen at the event. He is currently unhappy with the WWE over their lack of concern over his rapidly expiring contract. However, he did request a match vs. Sting if he does end up at the show, so keep your fingers crossed...
-Stone Cold Steve Austin is a shoe-in due to his newly-inked movie deal. He is clearly on good terms with Vince and the company, so not featuring him at Mania after all teh publicity he has received as of late would be downright loopy. Word is he may well go one-on-one with Hulk Hogan in a match that would surely rival Rock/Hogan from WM XX in popularity.
-The idea of a Randy Orton/Undertaker match has been circling as of late, however the materializing of this match would hinge strongly on the unfolding of the Royal Rumble PPV, especially HHH's title match and Batista in the actual Royal Rumble match. If Orton does have a match with the Undertaker, the going plan would be to have Batista win the Royal Rumble and challenge HHH one-on-one. However, don't count out a triple threat title match between Orton, Batista, and HHH (I personally would lean towards this, as without this, Orton is pretty much left hung up to dry. Definitely don't count on Orton/Taker if Hogan/Austin goes through).
-A JBL/Big Show rivalry is planned for post-WrestleMaina, so expect JBL to retain his title this Sunday. It is strongly rumored that a barbed wire cage match will take place between the two in a post-WM PPV, so I'd expect JBL to keep the belt at least untill then.
-Bret Hart will NOT be at Wrestlemaina, end of story. However, don't be surprised if he makes his return at WrestleMania XXII next year, which the WWE is hoping to hold in Calgary.
Phew, bet you weren't expecting to read that much! Feel free to comment or add in your own rumors!!
