ith Night of Champions happening in a few short weeks, WWE has
figured out how to set up the best matches at an event where titles have
to be on the line.
One of the biggest matches of the year, just
for sheer storytelling purposes, is what will happen with CM Punk and
John Cena. There would seem to be one logical conclusion to that match,
but we don't know what WWE has in store.
That mystery makes it an
intriguing matchup. I think it is better for storyline purposes if Cena
doesn't win the title until he gets his (likely) rematch with The Rock,
who will win the title at the Royal Rumble.
We will never keep the news, notes and rumors a mystery from you for long, so keep reading to see what WWE has to offer.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER TO ROCK WRESTLEMANIA AGAIN
Question on Everybody's Mind: Is Mayweather going to wrestle?
Who Will Be In The Biggest Match At WrestleMania 29?
Hype Meter: 5 out of 5 Celebrity Matches
Unlike most outsiders WWE brings in to work a match, at least Mayweather has an understanding of how to work a crowd. The fact that he is such a good, natural heel gives him a distinct advantage over most people.

FANS GAVE US TRIPLE H'S SPEECH ON MONDAY
Question on Everybody's Mind: Did Triple H's speech help?
Our Take: No, and I will tell you why in two simple words: Card placement. If Triple H was really going to retire, don't you think it would have been done at a WrestleMania with some hype that it could be his last match? Don't you also think WWE would put his potential retirement as the final segment on Raw instead of the 10 p.m. top-of-the-hour segment?
Wrestling fans know better than to take a retirement or firing angle seriously. How many times have we seen it over the last five years? How many of those stars actually stayed retired? You have Shawn Michaels and...Bueller...Bueller.

JUST LIKE REAL LIFE, TRIPLE H HOGS RADAR SPOTLIGHT
Question on Everybody's Mind: Is it still going to be against Lesnar?
Our Take: That is the most confusing part about this. Everyone seems to agree that Lesnar vs. Undertaker is the money match for WrestleMania. If Triple H has designs of taking Undertaker's spot, the interest in a Lesnar match will plummet, because I don't sense there is a lot of love for another match between the two.
Unless there is some big name that WWE can coax into a one-off WrestleMania match with Triple H, I really do fear he will take Undertaker's spot with Lesnar. Perhaps Triple H will be the one working with Floyd Mayweather.

DOLPH ZIGGLER BACK TO HIS LOSING WAYS
Question on Everybody's Mind: What will WWE do with Orton?
Our Take: That is one of the great mysteries on SmackDown right now. He just lost clean via armbar to Alberto Del Rio last week, which was a surprise. This week, he got a win back, but what is his next big feud? I can honestly say I don't know right now.
Even if Ziggler can't go over in too many matches, at least we can take comfort in knowing the main event of SmackDown will be very good. That is more than can be said for the long, drawn-out endings that have happened on Raw since that show moved to three hours.
