With WrestleMania on the horizon, I was going back through the archives and found this dandy of a line up for WrestleMania 23. HBK vs. Batista Undertaker vs. John Cena Edge vs. Orton As well as "As of this weekend they have four matches planned for Wrestlemania. They are John Cena vs. Edge vs. Randy Orton in a triple thread for the title, The Undertaker vs. Batista, Hulk Hogan vs. Shane McMahon with Khali in his corner, and a possible Shawn Michaels vs. King Booker match with Donald Trump managing Michaels and Vince managing Booker. That final match is still not a done deal, but the rest are seemingly in place. Things change hourly with Vince McMahon so these WrestleMania matches are always hard to call each year. Stay tuned to the site for more information leading into the PPV though. " Now, I also remember HBK vs Eddie Guerrero being rumored for WrestleMania 22 before his untimely passing. Just goes to show, even if a card is rumored in January, it doesn't mean it'll be the final product come April.  |

Wasn't Cena/HBK almost set in stone once HHH went down? I mean they won the tag titles and had tension.

Those lineups I found were from January 2007... about two weeks after Triple H got his second quad injury. It's funny how Undertaker showed up on Raw after winning the rumble and everyone was like "AWW NO CENA'S GUNNA END TAKER'S STREAK NOW!" officialfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=wba2007&action=display&thread=78822There's the thread from when Taker vs Cena was teased for WrestleMania 23. |

Not sure about entire line-ups, but I remember CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy being rumoured for Wrestlemania 26. Also, Sting vs. Undertaker at WM27 which sadly never happened.

From what I recall, WM 22 would have been amazing if we got the rumored card:
WWE Title: HHH vs. Cena
WHC: Orton vs. Batista
HBK vs. Eddie Guerrero
Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle
If I remember correctly, Austin vs. Hogan was also rumored for 22.
The Battle of the Billionaires went through many changes. At one point I heard it was Hogan vs. Khali in a sort of anniversary thing due to it being in Detroit twenty years after the bout with Andre.
Cena vs. Hogan was also rumored for WM 25 but then Hogan had back surgery and thus Cena was shoehorned into the WHC feud.

Speaking of WM 22, I also heard Batista vs Mark Henry for the World Heavyweight Title.

I wonder if there have been any WrestleMania cards that have been totally revamped because of something other than injuries/suspensions/untimely deaths. I say that because I am going to sleep nightly and praying to the good lord above that the rumored WrestleMania XXIX card turns out to be just that: a rumor.

A similarly interesting thread would be "Rumoured Wrestlemania lineups that turned out to be correct" |

In November of 2009 there was a Raw that had Undertaker and John Cena team up to win a tag match then 'Taker tombstoned Cena afterwards. Then the following Sunday at Survivor Series Triple H and Shawn Michaels had a bust up during their match.
After those developments the dirtsheets pretty much had it set in stone that the top two matches at 'Mania 26 were going to be 'Taker/Cena and a HBK/HHH retirement match.

I think Dr. David Schultz was suppose to be in the main event of the first Wrestlemania, but got fired.
Hogan vs. Zeus was rumored for Wrestlemania VI(thank god that didn't happen).
Demotion vs. LOD for Wrestlemania VII
The line-up for Wrestlemania VIII was rumored to be....
Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair
Randy Savage vs. Jake Roberts
Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty
Sid vs. Undertaker(happened 5 years later).
For Wrestlemania 13, Shawn Michaels was to have a rematch with Bret Hart for the WWF championship, with Michaels dropping the belt, but he" lost his smile"(but found it a few months later).
Thats all I can think of for now.

Cena vs. Hogan was also rumored for WM 25 but then Hogan had back surgery and thus Cena was shoehorned into the WHC feud. Cena already had the WHC. The rumor was Cena/Batista at 25, and Edge/Show over Vickie, but when Batista went down in December, they did the Edge switcheroo at NWO to get Edge/Cena/Show. |

That reminds of when Undertaker showed up on ECW to stare down Lashley.
God bless WWE for actually trying with that. No one thought he was going to do it.

I'll just leave it at that, you can guess why it didn't happen.
