Cena vs Punk: Ironman Match for the WWE Championship. You could bill it as their final match together if Punk is leaving next year. Make WM30 as special as 25 should've been. Do this, the 30 Years battle royal (as Hogan's last match), 2-3 TBA matches with their best talent, Taker/Brock or Taker/Sheamus, Shield vs Wyatts, Kick-Off tag match, and you could have a very solid Wrestlemania. They really do need to make this feel special. The last few Manias outside of the Undertaker and WWE Title Matches have been blech. |

They are not going to unify the world titles. Smackdown needs a champ. And no, they won't make a nothing title like the Intercontinental the main belt of Smackdown.
Also for the record, I bought Mania 27 more for The Miz than for The Rock.
I want to see Punk vs. Bryan WWE Championship, Cena vs. Sheamus WHC, Orton vs Taker, Rock vs Brock.

Yeah, I think Syfy's contract for running Smackdown is about to run out sometime in 2014, so WWE wants to keep the show strong and with it's own major title for touring purposes. That's the reason Cena was given the World Title, to help build Smackdown back up again so WWE can make bigger demands for their next TV contract. So I seriously doubt there will be a unification match for the WWE/World titles anytime soon. |

The more I think about it, the more I want Punk/Cena to main event this show. It's the best match they could book from a quality, crowd reaction and finality standpoint. Punk seems to get more over every week, he really is the Peoples' Champ these days. Cena is incredible in the ring, especially in a big match. Both guys deserve it, Punk especially because he's never made it to that pinnacle and his talent and fanbase more than justify it.
I'd love the triple threat with Daniel Bryan as well, but I think I'd lean towards Punk/Cena with Punk finally getting the clean win he never got in their feud.

I want Punk nowhere near the main event. Like... In all honesty, I'll probably just head back to the hotel if he goes on last.
Sure, he wants to close out Mania, but I'm sure the vast majority of guys do. Not everyone can, and it's been pretty clearly demonstrated that the guy doesn't sell PPVs. And I just plain don't like him so I especially don't want to see it.
Though really, I don't think there's any danger of that. Everything about the way the booking is now and the rumors going around screams that Triple H is main-eventing against whoever they decide to go with instead of Austin, and I can't see them opting to make the main focus of the show Orton / Punk like the rumors are saying is the title match when the last time the title itself was the actual selling point for Mania was, like, 25.

They have to keep the belt on Orton for a while, so why not Punk/Orton at Mania? Hopefully Cena can elevate someone, we get Brock/Taker & HHH does the job for Daniel Bryan.

Don't think that I'm objecting to Punk closing out a Mania, but something I've always wondered: why would it be such a terrible thing if he never got to do it? For those of you that aren't into hip-hop in general, let alone Kanye West, hold off the ROCK N ROLL 4EVAH banner for a moment and bear with this comparison: Punk has now more or less become to wrestling what he is to pop music. Not only are they Chicago natives with colossal egos and innovative styles, both of them have managed to somehow convince their respective fanbases that they're somehow being slighted, despite the endless amount of accolades and honors they've both accumalated. I once found a thread here (of all places) following his 434 day title reign (and Triple Crown, and two MITB wins) claiming he was "getting screwed" because he was headed towards a match with Undertaker as opposed to defending the belt at WM29. It's one thing to want Punk to succeed as much as possible, and MetLife would have been a nice place to end his epic run with the belt, but doesn't saying he's being screwed seem a bit...hyperbolic, given all he's achieved? As of now, he's the second (or third, given the Goat Factor) most protected guy in the company behind Cena. Is that such a bad spot, given Cena's talent level and the commitment he has to being WWE's de facto ambassador, whereas Punk seems more content to enjoy his life outside WWE? People always talk about them "missing opportunities" with talent, but with Punk, they're fast running out of stuff they can miss. Root for Punk main eventing a Mania by all means, but as for it being something he, a HOF lock three times over and perhaps one who could close out a ceremony, "needs", as I've seen/heard fans elsewhere claim...I don't see it. I made a thread about the Punk/Kanye comparison once. I was more or less joking but after really getting into it, the parallels really are pretty amazing. They're even almost the same age. |

The Rock vs The Rock will be the main event. Damn, I was hoping for The Rock and John Cena vs The Rock and John Cena Only Time Ever In History tag match they planted the seeds for last year. |

I feel like the main event should be Orton vs. Punk vs. Cena. It just makes sense to me. Have three of the biggest stars of the modern era collide on the 30th Wrestlemania.

I like CM Punk, but anything less than John Cena vs. the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 30 will not get a buy from me.

Also for the record, I bought Mania 27 more for The Miz than for The Rock. I want to see Punk vs. Bryan WWE Championship, Cena vs. Sheamus WHC, Orton vs Taker, Rock vs Brock. SmackDown doesn't need a champion. And if you put the IC Title on someone over enough or with enough name value, they can headline a show. And the remedy for the house shows is simple. Have a very over guy headline the shows that the champion ISN'T on. John Cena is perfect in that he can still be a headliner without a title. With no brand split, the WWE Champion can work both Raw and SD tapings. WWE really needs to clean up its titles. Like I've said, There are too many guys on the roster being presented as "main eventers" and it really hurts the product. |

He doesn't need it. He deserves it. f***ing Miz main evented (technically; no one on earth paid to see him there) for for god's sake. And he was the most inconsequential WWE champion in the Mania main event since Shawn Michaels at 14. If Punk defended the title against Cena at Mania, he would be in that category. It didn't matter who it was there, they weren't going to mean shit, because it was all about Cena and The Rock. Punk deserves to close out a Mania where he matters, and Miz deserved to close out a big 4 ppv where he mattered. Even at Survivor Series 2011, he didn't matter. |

Cena is this generation's Hogan, Austin, Rock in terms of his company positioning. As long as he's on top, no one will get complete focus at Mania. Punk wrestling Cena, in the main event, still matters, because he would be in there, on the 30th anniversary of the event, against the company's top guy (hypothetically). That's enough. Wrestling's staged, so being in the dance matters just as much as winning it. |

Cena/Punk is the best bet, if we're not getting Taker/Cena, Taker/Sting, Taker/Brock.

Here's an idea...
What if Punk is the guy Vince turns to in his feud with Triple H? Could be decent.

I'd do this:
Survivor Series:
Del Rio def. Cena for World title via interference from a masked man who hits Cena with a chair, or something.
Board of directors say although they cannot change referee's decision they're unhappy at the result due to interference from someone who they cannot verify was even a company employee so due to this technicality they vacate the title to be won by the winner of the Royal Rumble (like 1992)
Punk wins the Rumble
As there is no 'number 1 contender' Punk can choose is opponent and he chooses Orton.
So WM30 main event:
Punk vs Orton
Title for title.
Punk wins, new unified undisputed world champion.
Next night on Raw:
Punk: "Remember that masked man at the Survivor Series, Cena? That was me"
...and you got a Punk vs Cena grudge match at Summerslam 2014 which would have storyline roots 9 months old by the time it happens.

The story seems potentially good, but this would constitute a heel turn for Punk, right? And then facing Cena, who gets booed out of the building while Punk desperately tries for cheap heat to no avail. I already experienced Fall 2012. Never again. I know they're low on top-level heels, but they need to get some new ones going, not turn huge fan-favorites. |
