CB’s Slant: CB and Swayze’s WWE WrestleMania XXX Card, Match Listings and Some Results

Columns, Top Story

Here’s what myself and Swayze came up with during an impromptu discussion for our desired WrestleMania XXX card. This is based on what we want to see more than what might actually happen, though we did make sure all of the big names that will be on the card are booked:

The below matches are in order of how they would appear on our show, along with some of the match results we feel must happen to make this a great night:

Preshow Match on YouTube: Over-the-Top Battle Royal for merged IC/US title shot on the actual show

By this time, we feel like Big E Langston should be the Unified United States/Intercontinental Champion. The winner of this Battle Royal gets to face Big E on the big show for the unified title.

This also enables anyone who didn’t make our official card to get a spot on the pre show. We didn’t have room for folks like Damien Sandow, etc., so they can just be in this battle royal.

Our result for this one is that Dolph Ziggler wins, eliminating Christian last to set up Big E vs. Ziggler later on.

CB and Swayze’s WrestleMania XXX Card and Match Listings

1. RVD and Rey Mysterio vs. Sin Cara and Alberto Del Rio

2. Unified IC/US Title Match: Big E Langston (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler

3. 3-Way Elimination Match: Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose

This will be a 3-Way Elimination Match showcase that puts the spotlight on all of the now ex-Shield members as singles wrestlers. The crowd would definitely buy into this one and it would be a fascinating dynamic to watch unfold on the biggest stage of them all.

4a. Divas Title Match: AJ Lee (c) vs. Natalya Neidhart

4b. Natalya Neidhart vs. The Miz (after Sheamus vs. Miz canceled)*

*For this one, we figure The Miz can make fun of all of the Divas after Brad Maddox or Vickie or someone tells him his match with Sheamus was canceled to make sure all of the title matches on the card have enough time. Sheamus would be cool with the decision, saying that the Divas title match should be allowed the time, but Miz just won’t let it go.

So, after the Divas match ends, Miz comes out and berates both AJ and Natalya and all of the Divas division. Natalya decides to stand up to Miz, call him names and then slap him. Nattie then says she could beat Miz herself, Madddox or Vickie run out and make the match, and with Sheamus and all of the Divas surrounding the ring, Nattie beats Miz with The Sharpshooter.

I mean, who wouldn’t want to see Miz get his ass kicked by a strong woman like Nattie? Plus this gets a bunch of Divas on the show.

5. Big Show, Sami Zayn and The Prime Time Players vs. Randy Orton and The Wyatt Family

Sami Zayn (El Generico) gets the rookie slot that Fandango got last year. He shines in this match while Orton — who is pissed he lost out on the big title match — and The Wyatts act like total merciless monsters. Ultimately, Orton and The Wyatts win, though they are not happy about it because they all have huge chips on their shoulders for whatever reasons develop between now and WrestleMania XXX.

6. Tag Titles Match: William Regal and Antonio Cesaro vs. Goldust and Cody Rhodes (c)

7. Ryback, Curtis Axel and Jack Swagger (with Zeb Colter) vs. Los Matadores and El Torito

Pre-Main Event Segment: Bad News Barrett and a Very Special Guest

After Match 7 ends, Bad News Barrett comes to the ring to survey the damage and then he says a few disparaging things about the previous match participants, the crowd and this country.

Suddenly, the lights go out and the song hits … “I am a Real American……..” and there he is, HULK HOGAN.

The crowd just ERUPTS for Hogan as he slowly walks down to the ring, soaking it all in.

By this time, Barrett is the only one in the ring, and Hogan then waits for the crowd to die down — of course it never does — before addressing Barrett.

Hogan then starts up: “I got some bad news for you brother, Hulk Hogan is back Jack…” and then they go back and forth a couple of times as the crowd just eats it up.

Then, Barrett tries to cheap-shot Hogan, Hogan blocks it, points to Barrett, “YOU!” and BAM, he knocks down Barrett, hits the last Leg Drop of his career, the crowd continues to go wild, and then we fade out to the next pre-match package.

8. WWE World Heavyweight Title Fatal Four-Way Match: CM Punk vs. John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Batista

This could have been broken up into two singles matches, but to save room on the card and to make it more interesting at the top we let it go as a Fatal Four-Way. As for the champion going in, let’s say Orton escapes the Rumble as Champ but then loses to Brock Lesnar at Elimination Chamber. Orton then loses his rematch on Raw the next night, where Big Show costs him. After all The Authority put him through, Show wanted to make sure he ruined their previously hand-picked face of the WWE. This can then set up the Show and partners vs. Orton and Wyatts tag match that we placed earlier on this Mania card.

The key here is that CM Punk will WIN the match and become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, regardless of what else happens. We figure that if it’s not going to be Daniel Bryan winning the title, then it should be Punk. As for Bryan…

9. Daniel Bryan vs. The Undertaker

That’s right, we decided on THE BEARD vs. THE STREAK for WrestleMania XXX, something that Taker himself is actually calling for. And if Taker really does want this match to happen, I have a feeling he’ll get it.

Again, I’d personally prefer to see Bryan leave Mania as the WWE World Champion, but if that truly isn’t in the cards and the Undertaker wants to battle him, then that’s just as big of a prize as the title match anyway.

As for the result, you can debate who you think should win in this spot, and we’d love to hear your comments on this and the entire card we laid out.

We’ll see you in the comments section to discuss and I’m sure Swayze will be able to fill in the blanks on some of his desired results for the above matches as well.

That’s all from me — CB.
