THE UNDERTAKER CONFIRMED FOR WRESTLEMANIA 30

WWE sources revealed over the weekend that The Undertaker has agreed to wrestle at WrestleMania XXX. While WWE were optimistic that he would be wrestling on the 30th anniversary show, the official word came within the past week. 

With WrestleMania just over 3 months away, there is still no opponent currently locked in to challenge his streak though there has been talk of Brock Lesnar or Batista. 

Batista has been rumoured to make a comeback at next year's Royal Rumble in what is said to be a ‘close to full time’ short-term deal that will keep him part of WWE storylines beyond WrestleMania XXX. Batista vs The Undertaker in a WrestleMania 23 rematch at WrestleMania 30 could therefore be a possibility.

Orton makes his way to the ring first, and then Cena comes out. The official introductions are made and the bell rings.

Things started slow as both men tried to be more careful. Cena got an early advantage and tried to run Orton through a table but he was unsuccessful. Orton picks a ladder and goes straight for the belts but Cena hits him with another ladder. 

Orton got into the offence now and he uses a chair to get few shots on Cena. He kept attcking Cena until Cena got back into it. Cena sets a table outside the ring and picks up Orton for a powerbomb through it but Orton acted fast to dodge that. He got on the ladder and made a close contact with the belt before Cena pulled him off.

Orton made another trial in grabbing the belts but this time, Cena hits a five Knuckle Shuffle from the ladder.  Cena controlled Orton a bit and then goes for a ladder to use in picking the belts. Orton got up and hits him with a RKO. Cena later recovered and they continued brawling outsside the ring.

Cena hits Orton continously till he begins to bleed. He then set a table but Orton countered. Orton hits Cena with a mic severally and then clears the spanish announce table, only to be put through it by an Attitude Adjustment from Cena.

Cena gets on a ladder and goes for the belts. His hands was already on one when Orton pulls off the ladder from is legs, leaving him hanging up there.

Cena finally got down and was beaten by Orton. Orton cuffs Cena to the ring and then gets a ladder to go for the belts. Cena tries his best to remove the cuff but could not. He then undoes a turnbuckle and pushes off Orton from the ladder. He goes for the ladder this time but Orton pulled the rope on the turnbuckle to pull Cena who lands on a table with his head. 

Orton finally steps up on a ladder to pick both belts to become the Champion of Champions.

WINNER: Randy Orton

Orton celebrates as The Authorithy steps out to the ring, including Vince McMahon who looks indifferent about Orton winning. Triple H was not too happy either but Stephanie looks filled with joy. The officials help a dejected Cena to stand to his feet as the show comes to an end.

Great night of entertainment indeed. Filled with surprises too as most of the results does not tally with my predictions. 

It is left to see what tomorrow's RAW will look like. Be sure to get every bit of action of it here on this blog. Enjoy!

WWE TLC 2013: PREVIEW AND MATCH PREDICTIONS

This Sunday, WWE presents its last Pay-Per-View of the year, Tables, Ladder and Chairs (TLC) live at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. All eyes will be on the Unification Championship match between WWE Champion Randy Orton and World Heavyweight Champion John Cena. Dolph Ziggler also makes a return to PPV action when he squares off with Fandango in the kick-off match. To start with, here is the matches billed for Sunday's event:

• World Heavyweight Champion John Cena vs WWE Champion Randy Orton (Title Unification Match)

• Damien Sandow vs Big E Langston (C) (Intercontinental Title Match)

• Natalya vs AJ Lee (C) (Divas Title Match)

• Ryback & Curtis Axel vs Big Show & Rey Mysterio vs Jack Swagger & Antonio Cesaro vs Cody Rhodes & Goldust (C) (Tag Team Title Match)

• CM Punk vs The Shield

• Daniel Bryan vs The Wyatt Family

• Fandango vs Dolph Ziggler

Fandango vs Dolph Ziggler

Pretty much a strange match as there seems not to be much chemistry between both guys. Start of a new feud in such a big stage like TLC does not look best for business. Hoping the otherwise happens after the match.

Prediction: Dolph Ziggler wins

Daniel Bryan vs The Wyatt Family

As much as this match-up looks interesting, it is not needed. Bryan is one of the hottest guys in the industry now and making him look cheap against these "rookies" is questionable. Also, The Wyatt Family are on a big push and this match does not seems to be any threat since they are more in numbers. All in all, it should be a great match.

Prediction: The Wyatt Family win

CM Punk vs The Shield

Another Handicap match which is not really needed. Waiting to see how long Punk could stand on his ground.........or probably make an upset.

Prediction: The Shield Win

Ryback & Curtis Axel vs Big Show & Rey Mysterio vs Jack Swagger & Antonio Cesaro vs Cody Rhodes & Goldust

Great match it seems on paper. Just a pity The Usos did not make it. The Mysterio-Show partnership does not seems to stay for a long term so it is strange they are fighting for the WWE Tag Team Title. The Real Americans should be the biggest threat to the Rhodes brothers and with the rumour of Cody vs Goldust at WM30, it seems the time is up to drop the belt for The Real Americans and then start a feud about the weak link for the loss.

Prediction: Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger win

Natalya vs AJ Lee

Great match to be expected from this. These two, maybe with the Bella Twins, are the most active divas in ring currently and should be the best candidates vying fot the Divas Title.

Prediction: AJ Lee wins

Damien Sandow vs Big E Langston

Two great talents currently on a big push. As much as it would be great to see Sandow holding a belt, it would be so dissapointing if Langston losses his title so soon. It's surely a match to watch out for.

Prediction: Big E Langston wins

John Cena vs Randy Orton

After Triple H promised there would be only one champion after this match, it is amazing to know that one of these two guys would be sacrificed to lose his Champion status. The build-up and hype to this match has been great; and we hope the match lives up to expectation.

Prediction: John Cena wins

Be sure to bookmark/come back to this blog for live updates on TLC on Sunday.
