Wrestlemania Match Order [spoiler]{Spoiler}

{Spoiler}This can change, but the Atlanta-Journal Constitution listed this:

1) Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan

2) Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole

3) Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes

4) Corre vs. Big Show & Kane & Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov

5) John Morrison & Trish Stratus & Snooki vs. Dolph Ziggler & LayCool

6) Randy Orton vs. C.M. Punk

7) Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio

8) HHH vs. Undertaker

9) John Cena vs. Miz

I'm skeptical this will go without change. It goes completely against the Vince up-and-down philosophy, spreading out the main matches, and particularly with no "buffer match" listed between the two big ones.

Yeah, I really doubt this. If only because that is way too early for Cole / Lawler - that should occur near the end of the show.

[oafman]

I really like the idea of Sheamus/Daniel Bryan opening. I like both guys alot, so this'll be a classic opener to pump you up for the rest of the night.

[thegreatnodnarb]

The 8 man tag and Snooki match should be nowhere near each other.

[The Cool Pup]

I don't believe that order at all. They wouldn't have the WHC, HHH/Taker and WWE title match all in a row, would they?

[Citizen Snips Has Left]

Wait, where's the Kid Rock concert going to be?

[Shaq-Fu]

... Nope. Not happening.

Wrestlemania 25 ended with Taker/HBK followed by the 2 title matches.
And 26 ended with Cena/Batista followed by HBK/Taker.

There is no way.

) Randy Orton vs. C.M. Punk

7) Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio

8) HHH vs. Undertaker

9) John Cena vs. Miz

Will all be in a row absoloutley not thats pretty much killing the audience before before the cena vs miz match , IMO each of the big matches is gonna close out each hr.

The mix tag will close out the first
Lawler Vs Cole closes the the 2nd hr
HHH Vs Taker closes out the 3rd hr
And the miz vs cena ends the show

Not a chance in hell they put those in a row. If I were to guess, I'd say it goes something like this:

1. Sheamus vs DBD

2. Orton vs Punk

3. Mysterio vs Rhodes

4. Lawler vs Cole

5. Edge vs ADR

6. Corre vs Kane/Show/Santino/Kozlov

7. Cena vs Miz

8. Morrison/Snooki/Trish vs Ziggler/LayCool

9. Taker vs HHH

Although, they could swap 7 and 9 and I wouldn't be too surprised.

[Deleted]

I'd put them as -

1) Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan
2) Randy Orton vs. C.M. Punk
3) John Morrison & Trish Stratus & Snooki vs. Dolph Ziggler & LayCool
4) Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes
5) Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio
6) Corre vs. Big Show & Kane & Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov
7) HHH vs. Undertaker
8) Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole
9) John Cena vs. Miz

[The Ichi]

I have a feeling Lawler/Cole will actually be pretty high up on the card. Like, the 3rd to last match or something.

This is how I pictured things, including with 7 and 9 possibly being switched. In either case, the eight-man and six-person matches will be used to buffer both title matches and the streak.

I don't see why not. The "kill the crowd" philosophy has always been silly IMO. You should just order the matches in a way where nothing kills the crowd and nobody has to follow something impossible.

Like, Mania 25...it was a bad idea to have Cena/Edge/Show go after Taker/Shawn. That would have been a good time to have a throwaway match, but there's nothing like Taker/Shawn on the WM27 card.

Sure HHH/Taker will be good, but I'm almost certain that if Miz/Cena goes on afterwards it won't deflate the audience. It's a match that people care about and we'll definitely pop for The Rock's involvement. I think the last 3 matches are in the right places.

[Muskrat]

It honestly just dawned on me how many singles matches are on this card, 7 of the 9 matches are 1 on 1.

That would be cool because by then I'll probably be dying for a cigarette or a pee break.

And Cena/Show/Edge got the crowd back during their match after Taker/Shawn. It was only when Hunter and Orton went out there and proceeded to have "just a match" that the crowd completely died out.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

i still say Edge vs. Del Rio ends it. otherwise, i can see the order happening.

You know, you're actually right. Now that I think about it, I don't remember Cena/Show/Edge having any trouble with the crowd. I mean they had "just another match" IMO, but that's what people expected. With Orton/HHH it was just a massive disappointment.
