Post Raw 01-28-13: "Road To Wrestlemania"

Hello ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. Tonight on episode three of Greatest in Reviewing, we’ve got just two words for ya..... Are you ready? Wait, that’s three words. What I meant to say was “Rumble Review!”

The rumble saw Miz injure himself in what potentially could have been a very good mid-card match. Cesaro is really looking more and more impressive every match.
Where was Ric Flair? We saw Miz go for the knee, which probably wasn’t the best idea considering he botched the move and injured his leg.

We jump to Del Rio vs Big Show, which was quick and painless. Well, painless for us at least. Not so much for Del Rio who was chokeslammed off the stage and through the table. "RICARDO GET THE TABLES", so transitioning from TNA Wrestling mode. However it was epic, though that Bret Hart gave recognition to Del Rio calling him the "Mexican Bret Hart" not sure how we feel about Del Rio calling Hart "Canadian Del Rio" Regardless this helped Del Rio push his face turn and popularity.

It was most likely all in vain though, since Booker T has plans for the World Heavy Weight title this Friday, which means he'll be defending his title at Elimination chamber. The winner of that will be simple, either Orton or Sheamus, so they can fight at Wrestlemania 29 for the title. I am hoping Orton wins and goes HEEL, thus rekindling the feud between Sheamus and Orton. Sorry Del Rio.
On Raw's side however, we won't see Rock defending his title in a chamber, only against the former champ Cm Punk. Guess you gotta be a movie star in order to fight less guys.
This title change was pretty predictable however, seeing as Cena won the rumble then they had the title match. And we all know that in the WWE Universe, "Once in a life Time" means twice or thrice! Sorry Punk, maybe you can fight Undertaker "Again" and do "Best in The World vs Best Streak in the World"
Great Royal Rumble match though! Kuddos to Y2J and ZIggler, who held on long and hard. Y2j is back baby "And he never lost it". This leaves sadness though that Ziggler won't be able to compete for both titles. I see WWE's point, but a match with Y2J for both titles would be great. The original undisputed champion vs the new!
Punk vs Rock finally saw Punk show how great he can wrestle. He destroyed Rock for much of the match, and then the Shield had to intervene. Punk took advantage picking up the pinfall. The major interference caused the match to be restarted, which saw the Rock win. We thought it would be a clean match, and also thought Rock could last a hour in the ring with Punk, but of course neither of those happened. SXE energy once again proves cleaner than steroid energy.
Spiling over into Raw saw Heyman's review, which was interrupted by non other than Brock Lesnar, who attacked Vince and took him out with a devastating F-5. It would take a blind person not to see Triple H vs Lesnar 2 resulting from this. Let's put Taker and Punk in the match and you got tag team match of the year!

Greatest Review's gives the actual matches of WWE's 2013 Royal Rumble 5 stars out of 5 for a soild show. Great pre show, great opening mid-card, and of course great finale; though it was predicable given the short lived feud between Rock and Punk. And of course it was predicable due to the fact that the Rumble match came before the main event... FINALLY Rock and Cena 2??
Greatest Review's gives the WWE 2013 Royal Rumble Match 5 stars out of 5 for a perfect match. Very unpredictable and teasing throughout! Feuds were ended, feuds were started, and one of best feuds was reignited. Congrats to John Cena, but we all know who you will be facing!

Remember guys "Greatest in Reviewing"

Can You Smell What WWE Is Cooking For Wrestlemania 29? **Spoliers**

According to The Wrestling Observer four major matches have been announced for this years Wrestlemania.

PREPARE FOR THE SPOLIERS!

Once in a lifetime part two, this time for the WWE title.
John Cena vs. The Rock (who will most likely be champion leading up to their rematch)

Best in the world vs. Best streak in the world.
Cm Punk vs. The Undertaker (99.9999% chance Taker will win)

King of Kings rematch from Summerslam 2012.
Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H

And finally...
The "Viper" Randy Orton vs Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Champion.
Doesn't seem clear who will be heading in as champ.

Of course WWE writers could scrap these ideas at any time.
However lets discuss the matches. I thought Cena-Rock was never gonna happen again? Well I guess WWE lied seeing as how much money they made from their match and year long build up. If this match does happen Rock has the potential of beating Cm Punk at Royal Rumble at the end of the month. My money is still on Punk. This also means that Rock will have to be with WWE extensively seeing as the Champ must defend their title at Elimination Chamber in February. There still leaves the possibility of Cena winning Royal Rumble but I highly doubt it. Looking at these matches there is gonna have to be some shuffling around for the WHC on Smackdown. This leads to the question, what's gonna happen to Del Rio?

The Best in the world vs. Best steak in the world,  is something I have been hoping for for a long time. Probably since Cm Punk's feud with Taker when Punk had his "Jesus-like" heel turn.  Taker is a striker who knows one or two things about submissions. Where Punk's resume far exceeds this, he also has extensive mat and wrestling ability. This however still won't be a main event match sorry Punk :( BUT lets hope for a clean win. I'd like to see how well Taker can work with Punk with Taker being away from the ring 10 months out of the year.

One of my favorite matches of 2012 was Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar. We saw what Lesnar could do after his destruction to Cena. We know what Heyman can do given a mic. Their match at Summerslam was one of the best matches. It saw a professional wrestler "fight" a mma fighter and hold his own. With some much story behind it, the match had a amazing finish. With Brock proclaiming that he was "The new king of kings". No way in hell Triple would let that fly, and seeing as Lesnar's year long contract expires the following night, if he still cares about wrestling this is going to be a final to remember. Triple H will probably wants to one up his performance at Wrestlemania 28, plus a score to settle from Summerslam.

And finally the match that SO far has no relevance besides a few five second promos. Randy Orton vs. Sheamus. We know this will be a great match however there is two major questions to attribute to this. One how does Del Rio who just won the WHC a few nights ago fit into this equation and two who is gonna be the heel. Orton has stated numerous times over the last year that he rather be a heel. Personally I feel Orton is a better heel than face, because Sheamus can pull off looking like a cena-face while Orton can't. Granted the fans cheered him more when he punted or RKO'd as a heel his promos are way better. By keeping him as face they take the venom away from a Viper. Most people will disagree with this but we'll have to wait and see. The only way I am seeing this match happening though is if one of the two wins the Royal Rumble. I can see both being the last two men in the ring and one eliminating the other in a similar fashion to Bulldog and HBK. Then the loser will go on and win the Elimination Chamber match probably dethroning Del Rio. The winner of Rumble and chamber match will have their feud and lead up to the match at WM29? Well that's my guess.

Greatest Review's gives WWE's plans for matches at Wrestlemania 29 5 stars out of 5. For matches we've been waiting to see.
