I love when the Royal Rumble comes around, because all the internet dirt sheets start speculating the big matches for that year's Wrestlemania. In 2010, the dirt sheets were all right, saying Edge/Jericho, Batista/Cena, and Taker/HBK 2 would all be the main matches for WM 26. Last year, not so much. Many thought Barrett/Taker was going to take place on the card, but other than that match, the dirt sheets were right again. So here we go again, ladies and gentlemen, Wrestlemania 28 speculation!
Alright, since Jericho has come back, we've all wanted to see him clash with Mr. Best in the World CM Punk at the Grandest stage of them all right? Well, according to Wrestlezone, that's not what WWE is planning. Jericho/Taker and HHH/Punk are two of the planned matches to take place at the card. To tell you the truth, Jericho/Taker is the match I've wanted to see since HHH couldn't get the job done back in April. Punk/HHH has the potential to be a really great match-up, but since it already happened very recently, is it really Wrestlemania worthy? I'm guessing Punk/HHH will be for the WWE Title and of course Jericho would be going after the Streak, so none of those guys will be winning the Rumble, which means it's down to Barrett and Orton on Sunday. Looks like my dream of a Triple Threat at Mania might come true.
Now, if I was booking WM 28 and if Jericho HAD to face Taker, I would do Punk/Bryan without a question and Miz/HHH. If anyone has history that isn't finished, it's Miz and The Game. The whole conspiracy storyline made me believe that a match between the two was imminent and why not bring it back up now? I guess we'll have to wait until the actual Royal Rumble event to see what WWE has in store for us, but I'm sure they won't disappoint. I'd rather see Jericho face Taker than HHH do it for a 3rd time. And if Jericho is with WWE for the long run, we could see a Punk/Jericho feud down the line. Can't until Sunday! Predictions will be up Saturday!
