This will be a short one as I’m admittedly pissed about the VIP ticket situation.
Taker vs Punk is not yet confirmed officially by WWE. But judging by everything that’s happened, it’s pretty such a set deal. All that awaits really is WWE to announce it. The reason for this rather short blog is the new stipulation for this Sunday’s Rock/Punk match for the WWE Title. Bottom line is either Rock wins it tomorrow night or in February at Elimination Chamber. While it’d be great ff it happened, fact is Taker doesn’t need another Title run and these days, I think he’s more than content with wrestling once and then spending the rest of the year off to live a normal life while training for his next match. I think Vince wants Taker to be used as a “Special Attraction For WM” type guy knowing he alone will sell tons of tickets. So it’s a smart business decision to have him wrestle once in order to preserve him as much as possible for future WM sellouts because once he’s done, WM will lose what has made it a one of a kind event in my opinion. If I were Vince, I’d have Taker wrestle once a year too for that very reason. Plus, I can’t see Taker carrying around a Spinner belt. It’d be a real joke considering all the Titles he’s held were more prestigious looking.
With that said, I like the new stipulation that was put into Punk’s Title defense against Rock on Sunday. That stipulation is Punk will lose the Title if The Shield interferes. I like it because it opens up a possible scenarios that’ll have Punk coming out of The Rumble without losing momentum regardless of the outcome of the match.
That scenario is simply that The Shield interferes causing Rock to win the Title and Punk to lose. But since he wasn’t pinned or forced to tap, Punk doesn’t lose any momentum heading into WM. Heading into that show, you need all the momentum you can get. Especially if you’re facing Taker.
And that’s pretty much it. Shortest blog I ever wrote. It’s because my mind is too distracted to really think too much. This could’ve easily been posted as a comment and probably should have. But since I haven’t had a blog up in a while, felt like posting one to get my mind off that ridiculous VIP situation.
Let me know what you think of my possible scenario.

Maybe the shield not interfering is set to open an angle for Taker to interfere? I know Taker doesn’t need to, but think about it, what if Taker interfered and then the explanation is that Punk losing the title is the first step for him to be respected in Taker’s opinion.. It could happen but as I said Taker doesn’t need to interfere to make his presence felt. I can see Taker returning after the rumble if Punk dropped the title at the Royal Rumble..

Can’t really see this remotely happening. Punk has no issues with Taker nor does Rock. So what would either of them gain from Taker’s interference? What would Taker himself gain out if it? Nothing when it all comes down to it.
“the explanation is that Punk losing the title is the first step for him to be respected in Taker’s opinion”
Not really buying that either. The way to earn Taker’s respect, per storylines, is to test him when you’re facing him, Title match or not. Punk will earn Taker’s respect that way – by testing him at WM rather than whine about losing the Title.
Not saying it wasn’t a good idea. Just can’t see it being realistic tomorrow.

Since the Shield can’t interfere in the match, I would say that Cm Punk wins with the help of Brock Lesnar. If that’s the case, Then expect Taker as N.30 in the Royal Rumble and Winning.
Lesnar’s not due back till after Elimination Chamber. Taker’s got nothing to gain by competing in the Rumble as at this stage of his career, he doesn’t need the win. WWE’s had young guys win the Rumble lately. Sheamus won it last year. Del Rio the year before.Considering that, Taker, who’s done it all and works once a year, isn’t winning.

Imagine Punk beat The Rock and lose the title at WM to Taker and Taker bring that title hiatus with him for a year :9
Wouldn’t mind that. It’d give WWE the chance to give the WWE Title a more prestigious look. Realistically speaking though, not happening. Champions can’t take hiatuses. I like your imagination though.

i like the idea of The Rock being WWE Champion. I like the idea of Punk vs. Taker at WM29.
there is a couple of things that have bothered me about these rumored matches. The Rock vs. John Cena II. seen it once and it shouldn’t happen again. But Punk vs. Taker at Mania would be what the doctor ordered. there have been a lot of boring storyline’s in the WWE. 2012 had a lot of boring storyline’s. Punk has teased with the “respect” story. it would make perfect sense to make it CM Punk vs. The Undertaker at Wrestlemania XXIX. i believe Taker will be 21-0 after mania. The person to “end” the streak has to be the right one. it may or may not be Punk. Maybe its Sheamus or Ryback. If it is Punk vs. Taker…..The Sheild might interfere in the match but Taker will dispose of them real fast. Great artical.
I don’t like that idea. I don’t have a problem with him back. But if he wins the Title tomorrow or at Elimination Chamber, he’ll face and maybe lose to Cena. Cena does NOT need another Title run. WWE’s tarnished Once In A Lifetime by having this match again if it ends up happening. But for the WWE Title? That just makes it worse cause you have two guys who don’t need to be Champion.

Taker’s not gonna be no. 1, 15, or 30 in the Royal Rumble. He’s not gonna win the WWE title because he’s not coming back full-time & he’d have to. Do I want to see Take vs. Punk….uh, no. In fact, if I didn’t have to see Punk for a couple of years, I’d be happy. I know it’s a “story” but I’m tired of hearing about no respect for him. He’s turned it into whining & that’s not pretty or does it make someone want to say “Yes, I respect you!” No, it makes me want to put a bottle in Punk’s mouth to shut him up. He doesn’t deserve to face Take at WM because he’s turned into such a whiner. I don’t know who I’d like to see Take face but I know it’s not Punk & it’s not Triple H. Of course, if it could happen, I’d love to see Taker & Shawn Michaels. Those were his 2 best WM matches EVER. I hope somehow some way, Rock shuts Punk up. Now, Taker vs. Rock at WM 29….that sounds good.

Taker vs Rock does sound good. But Taker vs Punk does too. Punk’s whining about respect is just a storyline. One that has likely been used to build to a match at WM with Taker. At least Punk’s busting his ass for the entire year in WWE so in that respect, he deserves to face Taker more than Rock who just comes and goes.
- 123kid on January 27th, 2013 says:
No one knows in what shape Taker is currently in and no one knows whether Taker is going to be back just for Mania than a year long hiatus again or be part time or be full time, why? again because we know nothing right now. Taker could win the Royal Rumble match, he could win the title by EC or Mania. He could win it than give it up later, he could lose it a little after, anything could happen.
I would rather Taker win the Rumble because he has never won the Rumble multiple times while other less talented than him have. I would like him to win the Title again because besides the fact that would be huge for WWE,one thing being so much people that don’t watch WWE anymore will watch again like myself, he only has 7 World Title reigns in over two decades, they were all short lived except for his first World Title reign. And believe it or not, he actually hasn’t done it all, like I already mentioned, never won the rumble multiple times, was never King of the Ring, never won the Intercontinental title, doesn’t have a lot of reigns and doesn’t have one of the longest title reigns.
Anyway, if he’s only going to appear once a year, he could win and give up the title after. If he’s going to be part time, he could win than drop later. If he’s going to be back full time he could have another great title reign.

Great blog Anan
I like your idea.The only way Punk won’t lose momentum is losing via DQ(interference of the shield)
However,there are rumors that Punk may retain the title until WM,keeping the streak vs streak match alive but I don’t think it’s gonna happen
BTW,what’s up with the VIP ticket ? I thought you bought yours
- Joe on January 27th, 2013 says:
IT seems clear to me that The Shield are being employed by Paul Heyman, not CM Punk, and CM Punk doesn’t know about it. This is fairly obvious to set up a future face turn for punk when he finds out Paul Heyman is behind it all. Rock is pretty Much set to Win the title and face Taker at WM. I’m not in favour of Cena Vs Rock again, but who would the Rock face if it wasn’t cena? Triple H vs Lesnar is a done deal, I just don’t see who else it could be.
Having Undertaker cost CM Punk the title would be better than the Rock clean defeating punk, or the shield getting involved. Just have the lights go out whilst cm punk is pinning Rock, then come back on. Taker doesn’t even have to appear, to make his presence known.

When?
- Markomac on January 27th, 2013 says:
This might seem like a scenario of madness, BUT hear me out.
Rock does not deserve to win the title. It sends out the wrong message. He’s less than part time. I am a big Rock fan. He doesn’t need it or deserve it (as cool as it would be). Here’s the message WWE is saying ” we don’t have anyone good enough to beat Punk. Lets bring in a Hollywood superstar”.
CM Punk has been the longest reigning champ for the past 25 years. It needs to last until Mania. TITLE VS STREAK!
Do I want Punks reign to end to Taker (technically part time too), NO!
Do I ever want the Streak to end? NO!
So book the damn match. The creative team need to do there job and dream up a viable outcome to keep the Streak and not have a title change. Real outside the box thinking.
I would have about 10 heart attacks watching this match not knowing IF either guy might just win clean .
That’s my dream situation.
A Cena turn to cost the Rock the title would be EVEN better! But WWE are too scared to do it to there ‘poster boy’.
I can but dream.
Now I need to place a good bet to win some money to buy a taker axxess ticket! I won’t go into my anger.
I will not Rest In Peace…..

I said I was going before they went on sale. Probably shouldn’t have done that lol. But TM screwed up f’in big time! I emailed them and WWE and well as twittered them both about my frustration. THe TM site had constant pre-sale problems. By the time they went on sale on Saturday, VIP’s sold out. So thanks to TM, lost my chance. It’s been on me since yesterday. Haven’t even slept. My once chance gone. F’in sucks.
What makes to worse since TM and WWE don’t care enough to compensate us which they clearly should.
And for me, this isn’t the first time I had problems with TM. They’re obviously overpaid and should be out of business. WWE should sever ties with them. To show how behind they are, VIP listings for Taker are still on their site despite the fact that they’re sold out. Wow. They can’t even update their own site lol. Wonder what idiots are involved with TM.

I understand that it debuted after Cena won it at WM21. That’s fine as it fit his persona. But 2005′s almost 10 years ago. That look needs to change.
Maziar wrote:

Nope he hasn’t.The spinner belt debuted in 2005 I think and Taker won 3 title from then but all of them were WHC
This is bit off topic. But while I thought Cena’s rap gimmick was his best, there is one thing about it that sucked BADLY. Even Cena said he regrets it.
First, naming his move the FU. He named it that because he was feudin with Lesnar and the name was supposed to be a play or something off Lesnar’s finisher name, F5. It’s not so much to FU name that I thought was bad. It’s why he named it that. The fact that he kept it all those years till they went with the AA due to WWE going PG just made things worse.
But that’s not what I’m talking about. The worse thing, by far of Cena’s rapping days, and I’m sure you’ll remember this and think how stupid it was, Ruck Fules. Obviously you can tell what it’s a play of. You just have to switch places with the R and F letters. Even if they were switched to become F**k Rules, it’d still be stupid lol. I don’t know what’s more stupid. That or Rock naming certain things with the word, people. People’s Elbow, People’s Eyebrow. I know his fans are dubbed The People. But People’s Elbow/Eyebrow…..that’s a bit much lol.
- Ed Burns on January 27th, 2013 says:
Supposedly it’s being rumored that the WWE will debut a new Title belt for the WWE Title the night after Wrestlemania 29. Keep in mind this same rumor’s been running since 2011. I believe if, in the slim event, Punk continues his reign past Mania, it might happen.
- Fish on January 27th, 2013 says:
I think tonight would be a good time for Taker to return. This is how I see it happening:
CM Punk loses the title to The Rock cleanly. After the match, The Rock celebrates and he walks out of the arena like a boss. CM Punk is still in the ring, crying and weeping about his loss (like what Triple H did after he lost to Lesnar at SummerSlam. He wasn’t crying, but he was just in the ring by himself and walked away). While CM Punk is still sitting in the ring and still sad about his loss…. GONG! Undertaker comes out and they start their feud. I think this scenario would be awesome. It would be perfect for an Undertaker return.

Past WM? Not happening unless Taker vs Punk ends up not happening. Punk’s been demanding respect and talking about how he hasn’t got it for months. Almost a year now. And he name dropped Taker twice. All this, as of right now, gives me the impression that Taker vs Punk is happening at WM. So if Punk continues his reign past WM that would mean he’d have to end The Streak. No way that’s happening.
If Rock doesn’t win tonight, he’ll have another chance at the EC PPV to become Champion heading into WM. I don’t think they’re gonna have Rock lose two straight PPV’s. Especially after all his guarantees of becoming WWE Champion. If Rock-Cena II, which shouldn’t happen at all, is gonna take place, it’s gonna need something to draw attention as opposed to just having a regular match like last year. Knowing how WWE books these days, I think they feel having it be for the WWE Title will be just what the match needs. And knowing WWE’s flare for rematches, I don’t see why this match won’t happen even though it’s a load of BS after the Once In A Lifetime hype the match had last year and the fact that neither needs the Title. In Rock’s case, he doesn’t need or deserve it. Don’t really like Cena. But I respect the guy for his work ethic. He’s less than 100% or so the rumors go, but is still working his ass off all year long both in and out of the ring while Rock comes and goes as he pleases. Rock’s earned that right. But considering he comes and goes, he hasn’t earned the right to even get a Title shot. And his promos aren’t as good as they were before he left WWE for Hollywood. If he wants to be Champion, he needs to put his Hollywood career on hold during the build to the Title match till he drops the Title and is completely out of the Title picture. Even during the RR build, he’s come and gone. I don’t think he really cares for WWE. He came back in 2011 because his movie career lost some steam after The Toothfairy. Before that movie was made, he never appeared on WWE once (after 2004) since starting his movie career.
But that’s just the way WWE is. They rather give a guy like Rock who comes and goes and doesn’t need or deserve the belt over talents who work year long like Daniel Bryan, who’s reign ended at WM last year in 18 seconds! And he hasn’t won a World Title since. I mean, instead of pushing an established talent who comes and goes, they should push a young, deserving talent who works all year who needs that career boost. Ziggler, Rhodes, Barrett to name a few.
New WWE Title….While these rumors have been going o since 2011, I vaguely remember Punk confirming in an interview last year that they were working on a new design. I think the interview took place before his appearance on Talking Dead as the interview was done to promote that.
@Fish:
While I wouldn’t mid a Taker return tonight, he doesn’t really need to. It’ll be like if he appeared on RAW 20th. He’d just be back for a one off appearance, be put of place and it’d be pointless. Punk needs to prove that he can hold onto the Title on his own cause since HIAC, he’s had help/interference in his Title matches. Tonight, there shouldn’t be anyone else appearing before, during or after the match. Doesn’t make sense for taker to return, if he’s facing Punk at WM, till the Rock/Punk feud ends.
@Miziar:
It does suck. But now that I know how TM operates, you can bank on the fact that I’ll try my best to go next year if he appears at Axxess come Hell or high water, regardless of where it is. IMO, should be at MSG. I know it’s the same area two years in a row. But the “Every 10 years, WM at MSG” tradition shouldn’t ever end. Rumors state Houston, Indianapolis, and Toronto are in the running. The only thing good abut Houston is it’d raise chances of Taker being at Axxess since it’s his hometown although JR told me he’s living in Tampa right now. I think Tampa’s rumored to be considered too. Not sure though. If JR’s right, then Tampa would be awesome for the fact that Taker being at Axxess is a strong possibility.
I did buy the General Admission ticket because it’s better than nothing and so I can at least see Taker in person. I’m hopeful regardless of how high or low the chances are that Taker VIP’s will be floating around sometime closer to the event. It’s possible that after what happened, WWE could release more tickets or a seller might sell theirs in order to get fast cash. With a really crappy economy, anything’s possible when it comes to making money. Even someone selling a Taker VIP ticket. It’s a slim chance at best. But a slim chance is better than no chance. Especially if they were really that desperate for cash. As the old saying goes, desperate people do desperate things. Even if it means selling a Taker VIP ticket. Wish me luck. I can use it lol.

As I said, I already got the general admissions ticket for this year as it’s all that’s left and it’s better than nothing. Least it gives me a chance to see Taker in person. Maybe there’s a slim chance of meeting him after WM as he’s leaving the arena. Depends on if I can wait that long and whether or not he’s in a rush. I feel others who were shafted out of VIP’s will crowd him so I can just in on it lol.
I assume by your comment, you mean next year’s Axxess? It’d depend on if I can make the trip and if taker is there. The VIP’s alone are expensive so question is can I afford that and the trip at once. I’ll know next year, but definitely won’t go even if I could should Taker not be there.

Undertaker never wanted titles. He passed the torch to the future of the WWE which is why he’s the most respected wrestler ever and the 7 world titles he earned them by working his backide off and helping the other wrestlers. Yes Undertaker should have had 10+ world titles but titles dont mean everything, its the passion and love for the sport that’s the most rewarding plus the 20-0 streak. Do you really see Undertaker holding a dreadful spinner belt? That would be a huge mockery on him.
Undertaker’s full time career is over but even wrestling one match a year he can still put on a epic match (the last 4 WM matches I think we can use as proof) WrestleMania is the only chance of seeing him and I must try to go to WM30 but hate planes and may cost €1,000′s. I really do want to see him before the dreadful ‘retire’ comes. Been my dream for 15 years

What’s your hometown? Maybe WM29 may work depending on that. We won’t know where WM30 till lWWE announces it officially.

This pretty much confirms Rock vs Cena II for the Title.
Jericho…….I don’t know if his return was a one off appearance as a surprise entrant or if he’s back with WWE till he takes off again. If he is back, WWE have the option of having him face Taker . WWE likes to swerve everyone this time of year. People were expecting Rock vs Cena II for the Title as well as Taker vs Punk.
I still think it’ll end up being Taker vs Punk. But to swerve the people, they might have Taker face Jericho instead since unless things change, Rock and Cena are locked for WM.
- Maziar on January 28th, 2013 says:
@ Anan:
I read somewhere that Jericho said he didn’t return for just 1 night.
The rumble was good except for the ending.IMO Ryback deserved to win.
The thing that bothers me is that,WWE didn’t even care for Punk’s title or the Rock winning the title.They just wanted to make Cena champion at WM so even after his terrible promo before the rumble,they let him win it so he can defeat the rock to become champ again.
Instead of pushing younger stars,they just want to stick with this idiot only because some kids buy his merchandise lol
Anyway,seeing Jericho back in action was good and since Punk lost the title,I think the Undertaker will hopefully appear tonight on RAW to start their feud

Can’t see Taker returning tonight if Rock & Punk’s feud carry over the Elimination Chamber. Won’t make sense for Taker to start building to WM if Punk’s still preoccupied with Rock. If Taker does return though, it won’t disappoint me.
I think Barrett should have won the Rumble and drop the I.C. Title sometime after. I like Ryback. But he’s already where he needs to be. He’s gotten many Title shots recently. Because of Maddox and Shield, he never won. But sometime this year, I can see him as Champion. Barrett’s a promising talent who’s been on some roll since returning from his elbow injury. Having the I.C. Title only made him better. He hasn’t had a World Title shot for quite some time despite being around longer than Ryback has. THey both debuted at the same time. But Ryback (then known as Skip Sheffield) was sent back to development while Barrett remained on the main roster so that means Barrett’s been here longer.
I do agree that Rock & Cena are undeserving of their wins. But what can we do about it? WWE cares about money and they’ll do anything to get it. Even if it means giving wins to those who don’t deserve it.
Ziggler still has yet to cash in MITB. He can do it at EC like Edge did. It wouldn’t be smart though cause he’d end up facing Cena if Cena chooses to face him and lose it to him . If Ziggler cashes in at WM, he can possibly have a longer reign. Ziggler’s gotta do it at some point which means Rock’s nor Cena’s Title reigns are lasting long. And once he wins, people wion’t care anymore about Rock and Cena’s Rumble wins.
Despite all that though, I still found it enjoyable. You can say WWE’s been predictable and their storylines have been bland. For the most part, that’s true. But what can’t be denied is that in terms of matches, they’ve really stepped up in recent years.
- Devilchild on January 28th, 2013 says:
I can see taker show up tonight or maybe week after think they gonna do rematch maybe on raw before chamber dont think they do that at chamber cause i think after this reign punk deserves a 1 on 1 rematch.
Hope still with shield banned i have feeling go like this, punk loose rematch then grab a microphone start to talk bout respect.
Then liights go out taker show up and say something to him like if you want respect try beat me at mania then you get or some like that. But i hoped they do something on shield imagine punk taker gonna be no dq match then shield can be pretty dangerous for the streak but maybe punk now go after them cause they cost him the title.

Nothing against hope.
But for me personally, regarding a Taker return tonight guys, I rather wait and see than hope. Last time I hoped for a return, I ended up disappointed (at first) so not hoping this time as I don’t wanna be disappointed again. After Saturday, with the Ticketmaster situation, I can’t afford another major disappointment.

The Shield have a new habit of coming out with the lights off. This could easily happen but as we all wait to see them, we see Taker behind Punk instead. It’s too soon for this to happen tonight. Maybe in a couple of weeks once the Shield have done the ‘lights out’ thing again.
Mania could see a Paul Heyman led Punk & Lesnar vs HHH & Taker. What do you guys think about that booking? I’d personally like them as separate matches. Still an option though.

Only one I can not understand why everyone else back, but not the Undertaker. What’s the plan? And I think Undertaker should return now in order to build for the match Wreslemania. Match between Undertaker and CM Punk for the Deadman will be weak against what we used to watch the last four years, where he beat a star of his magnitude. I think Undertaker will return tonight on Raw in Las Vegas

No not Taker & HHH at a team. After their 3 WM matches, no way they’ll co-exist despite having respect for each other. Lesnar can’t get along with anyone but Heyman which is hwy his first run in WWE was as a singles competitor. All four guys are better when not in a team.
By the way, I read Lesnar just signed a two year deal that’ll end at WM31. Not saying he’ll face Taker though. Seems Brock’s set to face HHH in a rematch at WM29 unless plans changed.
Personally, I wanna see Brock face Sheamus and Ryback in two separate battles of the powerhouses! Both matches will have that the irresistible force vs the immovable object feel to them. But more so between Brock & Ryback.

It makes sense for Undertaker to return sometime after the Elimination Chamber ppv so he can begin his fued with CM Punk. Punk is in a fued with Rock at the moment and it’s all but certain that Rock will retain the title at the Chamber so he can move on to Cena (sigh another predicable match and outcome). Guess Rock v Cena II is more important than Punk/Taker for the WWE title. Despite it I look forward to that possible match happening at WrestleMania, cause Punk plays his heel character fantastic and demands respect and no better way to get that respect then the most respected wrestler in WWE, Undertaker I sense another memorable WrestleMania match for Undertaker this year.

Brock vs HHH is bound to happen now..after what happened on RAW yesterday. Taker vs Punk seems pointless now that Punk lost the title…crappy booking..but i’m fine with it
Taker does not need to be in a Spinner belt match or for any World Title for that matter when he’s defending something of much higher accolade, his Streak, something no other Champion can say they’ve had in regards to WM.
His Championship reigns aren’t his legacy. He’s had his far share of them. 7 to be exact. While none of his Title runs had the length they deserved to have, fact is it doesn’t matter because that’s not what he’s known for or even remembered for. At this point, it’s more important that he protects his legacy than wrestle for a belt.

I take back every word of that comment! I was pissed at how Punk lost the title at the Rumble- your points are Great and pretty obvious so don’t heed my comment, throw it away it sucks.
Punk vs Taker should be about respect not about titles. I still don’t know why I wrote that…I really, guys, hated the way the Rock-Punk match ended….it was a good match then they finish it like that….yeah but they’re having a rematch so I guess I lose every argument I make against it
Sorry for that comment though, stupid me…

No apologies needed lol. The reply wasn’t just for you. It was for everyone who feels Taker should be wrestling for the Title at WM. But too many usernames to list lol!
Anyway, your latest comment….I agree with it aside except for the last sentence.
Fact is, Title match or not, Taker vs Punk is a sure fire show stealing/Match of The Year candidate affair. With Jericho back, I still believe it’s Taker vs Punk. However, if by some chance I am wrong, I see Jericho as the next option as the other candidates are busy with their own feuds while Jericho currently hasn’t begun one yet unless he’s resuming his feud with Ziggler.
Jericho vs Taker is also a show stealing bout and one I’d be glad to see if Taker vs Punk doesn’t happen, which is likely it will. When you think about it, considering Jericho’s contract is a short term deal that takes him through WM, what a perfect way for him to be written off than to lose to Taker. Punk will be full time so if not this year, he can be added to Taker’s list of victims at a future WM. Then again, same goes for Jericho. I’m just saying.

Yeah but I read that Jericho might turn heel to Put Ryback over at Mania.
I had to apologise in a way, man I used to be quite a disgraceful user back in the day, if nothing a humble comment was needed-plus I was still pissed off!..Rock-Punk finish was mehhh for me…and apart from that I really thought there were going to be a good amount of false finishes. Hope they have a better match at EC
Taker-Jericho: Rather than a mania match, I always wanted these guys to have a Taker-Randy Orton-esque feud or Taker-Edge-esque feud, but hey it would be really awesome. But I think punks is better seeing as though he defeated Jericho and we obviously want the better wrestler to face the Deadman no?..
I read that taker’s got 2 matches left and he’s probably going into the sunset at WM 30 against John Cena. I saw a clip with Cena saying that he wants the Streak at WM 30 so we’ll see
Taker-Punk should be amazing, let’s hope the Road to Wrestlemania will be as fun as these past years.

Taker having 2 matches left…..Jericho putting over Ryback…..it’s all reports posted by people who have no contact with WWE so if I were you, I wouldn’t even think of believing them. I’ll believe whatever WWE officially announces themselves. Everything else, I take strictly as a rumor. They report one thing one week. Next week, something else is reported. I remember when they posted Taker was in such bad shape at WM28 that he’ll miss WM29. A short time later, reports stated he contacted WWE is on board. They can’t even keep their facts straight because they don’t have any. They’re talking outta their asses and their only source is just that, an un-named, unidentified “source”.
In terms of Jericho-Ryback, it’d make more sense to have Jericho finish his feud with Ziggler. I’m not totally convinced they’re done. Meanwhile, Ryback is better suited for Big Show.
I do think Taker vs Jericho should also be a year long feud like the ones Taker had with Orton and Edge. But Jericho comes and goes and Taker wrestles once so that’s not possible. I also think Taker and Punk could have an awesome year long feud. But again, with Taker’s current schedule, it’s not happening.
I tink in terms of Taker-Punk, The Road To WM will arguably be better. HHH, HBK, Punk, Taker, all great in the ring in their own way. On the mic, Taker’s as good as he needs to be, HHH and HBK aren’t bad. But Punk’s gold. Then again, taker and Punk won’t have the drama that Taker and HBK/HHH had, respectively so while I don’t think Taker vs Punk will tiop the last 4 WM builds in terms of drama, it will top those four in terms of mic work.
