Did They Just Plant The Seed?

[D2: Sweet & Sour Edition]

So, I just watched Raw (poker all night...i hate playing heads up for 4 freaking hours!!), and was skimming through the main event. Woohoo, big deal, Cena wins. Then, Tombstone from Taker. Did something during the match happen that would have caused that? Or are they planting the seed now for the WrestleMania main event?

[Rorschach]

Maybe. Taker never usually needs a reason to Tombstone someone though, much like Austin never needed a reason to Stun someone.

[Solid Stryk-Dizzle]

The only reason I see is the blind tag by Cena.

Alls I gotta say is that if he's going against Cena at Mania, Taker needs to retire after that. That's the last real big match-up left for him at Mania.

The Rock hasn't ever danced with the Dead Man at Mania. But since that's all of a pipe dream that will never happen, and wouldn't do either man any good....

I think you might be right.

As long as we don't get Undertaker/Cena for the World Title and H/Michaels for the WWE Championship, although that's wishful thinking. Or maybe we'll get both as grudge/specialty matches, a la Michaels/Undertaker, Michaels/Flair, Michaels/Angle, etc. That'd free up both titles for matches involving Jericho and Punk.

[Bubble Lead]

I really doubt it as I cant see Vince wanting to job Cena to a guy who isn't going to be around much longer, and he wont book Taker to job at WM either.

If The Rock comes back for a Mania match, it has to be against Cena.

As for Taker, there's still Sting. But that's even less likely to happen than Rock vs Cena.

But isn't Rock/Orton the ultimate 3rd generation singles match? ;D

Though I guess that sort of happened already with Rock N Sock vs. Evolution.

[Raja Lion]

Id be for Cena vs Taker and I prefer Taker as a heel in that match. Its always more fun when evil wins.

If Taker lost his streak to Cena, that'd be horrible.

[Dave at the Movies]

If Take loses to Cena at Wrestlemania we riot!!!!

The Rock and the Undertaker never really worked well together in the ring, I don't know why. Both are great talents in the ring, but together, they just never seemed to click. At least I didn't feel they ever did.

[Ryushinku]

I certainly hope so. I've been jonesing for Cena-Taker at WM ever since someone brought it up a few months back...just imaging the kind of heat they'd get on the final near-falls is awesome.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Undertaker vs. Cena would most certainly get the most crowd heat out of any combination you could throw at WM. And it's big enough to not need the title in the mix.

[Ryushinku]

And I don't think either Vince or Cena would have a problem jobbing him to Taker either because...well, it's Taker, even if he will be retiring a lot sooner rather than later.

Cena's got plenty of years left and won't be affected much by a clean loss. Hell, he hasn't been affected much by his clean losses this year alone.

But the great thing is that Cena is one of those rare guys to have that "maybe, just maybe..." chance to get booked over Taker. And that's the special ingrediant The Streak always needs.

[don]

Was it just me, or was that Tombstone especially vicious? Cena was too low. His head hit the mat very hard and I would not be surprised if Cena's neck was reinjured from that.

They might be setting it up, but they won't follow through with it. WWE has a horrible habit of setting up Mania matches for Taker months and months in advance, then going with something totally random at the last minute. The only real thing to the contrary I can think of in recent years was Edge.

[valiens]

I believe they planted the seed for Taker to pass the torch to Cena by having him end the streak.

It will be a sad, sad day.

[Chainsaw]

Cole said it was an "act of dominance" by the Undertaker, probably showing that it's still his yard. I think the blind tag probably didn't help either.
