With the huge WrestleMania XXX pay-per-view just over five weeks away live from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on April 6, the WWE is continuing to finalize its plans for the pay-per-view and there are rumors swirling about Sting and Vince McMahon, as well as what other matches will be added to the card.
STING NOT APPEARING AT WRESTLEMANIA 30 NOW THAT UNDERTAKER VS. LESNAR IS OFFICIAL?
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, Sting may not have even signed his contract with the WWE yet. It was reported that signing Sting was seen as a low priority and that the WWE was "dragging its feet" in signing him, and now it appears as though Sting hasn't signed a deal.
With The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar being official for the card, it appears as though Sting won't be a part of WrestleMania after previous rumors of the WCW and TNA icon facing off with 'Taker at the biggest show of the year.
THE UNDERTAKER SEEN SPORTING A GRAY GOATEE
According to the latest reports, Ric Flair has pulled out of appearing at Revolution Pro Wrestling events on March 14 and 15 due to his new contract with the WWE and he has been replaced with Sting. With Sting being announced as Flair's replacement for both shows just two weeks prior to WrestleMania and Flair not set to attend due to his WWE deal, it has led to speculation that Sting hasn't signed a WWE pact yet.
Wrestlingheadlines.com reports that the WWE has also seemed to switch up its plans involving The Authority at WrestleMania. There was reportedly a storyline involving Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and WWE CEO and Chairman Vince McMahon that was set to come to a head.
There was supposed to be a storyline between Triple H and Vince McMahon that would have brought McMahon back to television to battle for control of the company against Triple H in some capacity, but those plans have reportedly been nixed.
DANIEL BRYAN TO FACE TRIPLE H AT WRESTLEMANIA NOW THAT CM PUNK HAS QUIT?
Triple H was rumored to take on CM Punk at WrestleMania XXX, however now that Punk has walked out on the company it seems as though Daniel Bryan will battle the COO.
Regarding other matches on the card, the WWE is mulling the possibility of doing multi-person matches for the Divas Championship and Tag Team Championships in New Orleans in order to fit as many people on the card as possible.
The Divas match would likely incorporate every WWE Diva in some capacity possibly in a multi-person match or a "lumberjill" match where Divas surround the ring. The WWE's tag division is deep with teams such as The New Age Outlaws, Cody Rhodes and Goldust, The Real Americans and The Usos among others.
The WWE could do a multi-person tag format or even a tag turmoil match in New Orleans, but it remains to be seen.
The road to WrestleMania XXX is beginning to wind down, and while Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar in a singles match and Batista vs. Randy Orton for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship are set in stone, the rest of the card is up in the air.
