Got to be Cena for reasons mentioned earlier. The crowd reactions will be extremely interesting. Dual Cena sucks, Rocky sucks chants maybe?

Probably still "let's go Cena", "Cena sucks" ones but with the former being very quiet, high pitched children who aren't aware he's a bad guy and the latter will be deafening.

[TheScarf]

Would be quite amusing if it was an April Fool.

[Deeboy]

Cena win.

3 x Rock Bottoms, 2x Peoples ellbows and a sharpshooter. Cena will kick out, refuse to tap. He'll then pin the Rock, then the handshake, raising of hand as said before.

Cena Sucks.

[ginge123]

Cena to win. He deserves it. Too many people complain about Cena, and frankly the "Cena sucks" stuff is pretty dumb, he's worked hard to get to where he is.

EDIT: It'd also be preposterous for your main guy to lose to someone who isn't an active wrestler.

Vince loves giving celebrities wins over his wrestlers though. Lawrence Taylor, Kevin Federline, Snooki, Floyd Mayweather etc

[port-ton]

Cena has to win surely. You can't have someone like Cena who has been so dominant over the years losing to a guy that only comes back once or twice a year and is a movie star first and a wrestler second, regardless of who he is or his standing in the business.

I don't see how you can have Cena lose and then The Rock leave, what good does that do for anyone??

[lichtie23]

Rock to lose in his hometown?

[Father Dougal McGuire]

It would draw real heat if Cena cheats for the start of a heel turn

Cannot see a dirty finish to Mania 2 years in a row.

They'll turn him before it, I'm thinking at EC they'll have Kane/Cena/Ryder and he'll start on Ryder then. He has to go into Mania as a heel.

I hope they don't have him cheat to win, not at Mania.

[dave-92]

reckon it'll end in a draw or someone will interfere

[Paulo Sergio]

Possible draw/no contest IMO or someone falling on the other and getting the pinfall.

Cena will go into Mania as a heel even if he's not on screen for the next 6 weeks and they won't need to "turn" him.

[Poet of the Macabre]

No need to turn Cena heel because he'll be hated against The Rock regardless. Anyway, he sells so much merch that they can't afford to turn him at all.

I think Cena will win on the night. They'll try and hype it up as the biggest match in wrestling history and hopefully we get to see some good promos and awesome video packages. Has to be a clean finish as well, anything else would be unacceptable in the Mania main event.

Other matches planned for Mania so far:

CM Punk vs Chris Jericho
HHH vs Undertaker
Big Show vs Shaquille O'Neill
MITB Ladder Match

[lichtie23]

Big Show vs Shaq will be fuckin awful

I can see both sides and I'm really struggling to choose.

The above point presents me with one side of the argument. I wouldn't see the point in the Rock returning and beating Cena only to leave again, where does that leave Cena's standing?

The other point I'm seeing is, and I know there's a lot of money in it probably, but why would the Rock come back to harm his reputation by losing to Cena?

I'm going to try and keep this argument fresh in my head so upon watching I'll genuinely not know who is going to win it.

He misses the spotlight, sure he's a film star now, but I'm betting that being the main star of a sellout wrestling show is a much bigger rush. He obviously doesn't care to lose so he's willing to take that hit to get the rush.

Big Show vs Shaquille O'Neill

I've not really been paying attention to RAW or SD in the last few weeks. Why is this abomination happening?

[Sir Kevin Of Kilsyth]

Its just a really strong rumor that Shaq will be involved in the show. He hasn't been on Raw since 2010 that time he and Big Show had a confrontation. For what its worth I don't think that is the match that will happen. Big Show over the last few months has been more over as a face than ever so it would be stupid to turn him heel for this and I can't see Shaq being heel either. I reckon they will team up against Mark Henry and someone else.

[Paulo Sergio]

Is Big Show v Shaq definitely happening?

[Parscelona]

Probably be a better watch than Taker v HHH for the third time.

However, there's rumours that Rock will be hanging around for a bit after Mania...

[DomDom]

Okay, so the big four matches are confirmed.

Main Event
John Cena vs. The Rock

Hell in a Cell Match
Triple H vs. The Undertaker

WWE Championship
CM Punk © vs. Chris Jericho

World Heavyweight Championship
Daniel Bryan © vs. Sheamus

That cell match should have people interested for sure that went off it for a while. All four of those matches will be class. It looks like there's going to be a ten man tag between Team Teddy Long and Team Mr. Excitement, The Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes and something potentially featuring The Miz.

[Shuggie_Murray7]

Orton vs Kane too probably.

[forehead7]

Was Long vs Laurinaitis not a 12 man?
