[LionDen]

The Shield vs. Randy Orton, Sheamus and Ryback was announced at tonight's WWE SmackDown tapings for the WrestleMania 29 pay-per-view. Here's the updated card coming out of the tapings:

WOW, I honestly thought Big Show would be in this match but I guess Ryback a good choice. I thought Ryback would take on Mark Henry.

The No Holds Barred stipulation for Brock Lesnar and Triple H at WrestleMania 29 was decided on just a few days before RAW as several stipulations including Hell In a Cell were being considered. One idea discussed would have Shawn Michaels be in Triple H's corner to counteract Paul Heyman being there.

I'm totally fine with the No Holds Barred stip, but the idea of having HHH come out of retirement for a retirement match is just stupid, IMO.

[Konan]

I'd like to see the Shield match open the show, and the Streak match close it. Separate the World Title a little from the WWE Title and the Tag Titles, and separate Ryback/Henry and HHH/Lesnar

SIX MAN TAG MATCH
The Shield vs Randy Orton, Sheamus, Big Show

INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH
Wade Barrett (c) vs Miz

Ryback vs Mark Henry

Hell No (c) vs Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston

Chris Jericho vs Fandango

I think you can almost guarantee Rock vs Cena will be the last match although I could be wrong. Never know with Takers match.

I would like to see The Shield match separate Cena / Rock and Undertaker / Punk. Three great matches to end the show but I guess it will not happen that way.

I agree Rob, I am fine with the No Holds rule also.

[Jake]

I like your idea there Lion and I hope they will do that. I think it would be cool to start the show with Ryback vs Henry or the Tag Titles though. But the ending being those 3 huge matches could be too much but I think the differences in them could carry well together. I would be really excited to see that happen though. I just hope they give Del Rio vs Swagger the time they deserve.

I'm pretty certain after Raw that the Rock vs Cena will end the show. Just seems like that big of a match. Excited to see this show

The list Konan posted would be a pretty good show too.

It would be cool if the shield would just interupt everybodys match lol

WWE announced a new match: Wade Barrett vs The Miz for the IC Championship

Gawd lol That match should be in the pre show, especially after RAWs showing.

[LG]

WWE announced another new match - Eight-Person Mixed Tag Team action, as Brodus Clay & Tensai & The Funkadactyls square off with Team Rhodes Scholars & The Bella Twins!

[Jake]

uhhh should of known we would get a few duds tossed around in there. How long is this years ppv supposed to be? I heard rumors about the preshow being an hour so hopefully those last 2 matches you posted make that.

Even though it is disrespectful to the Intercontinental Title to have it in a pre-show, these two just seem to have bad matches IMO. Especially from RAW 2 weeks ago, it was absolutely shocking. So many misses and botched moves between the two.

[LionDen]

I liked someones idea during RAW live coverage that who cares who wins this title, Ziggler loses the tag team match and gets pissed off and comes in at the end of this match and cashes in his Money in the Bank and he becomes the new champion.

[LionDen]

Here is what appears to be the finalized Wrestlemania lineup, barring any last minute changes:

*WWE champion The Rock vs. John Cena.

*World champion Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger.

*CM Punk vs. The Undertaker.

*No Holds Barred, Triple H's Career on the line: Brock Lesnar with Paul Heyman vs. Triple H with Shawn Michaels.

*WWE Tag Team champions Daniel Bryan & Kane vs. Dolph Ziggler & Big E. Langston.

*Mark Henry vs. Ryback.

*Chris Jericho vs. Fandango.

*Tensai & Brodus Clay & Naomi & Cameron vs. Team Rhodes Scholars & The Bellas.

*Pre-Game: WWE Intercontinental champion Wade Barrett vs. The Miz.

*P. Diddy performing.

*The 2013 WWE Hall of Fame class will appear.

I'll admit... I wasn't exactly thrilled for this year's mania... until last night's RAW. one of the best buildups I've seen in years.
