WWE Rumors: 'WrestleMania 29' Rumors, 'Monday Night Raw' Preview for March 11, John Cena Tweets Rock, Stephanie McMahon At SXSW
"WrestleMania 29" in East Rutherford, NJ on April 7 is fast approaching and the WWE still has a lot work to do. What direction will owner Vice McMahon go? There are plenty of rumors surrounding the sports entertainment franchise and just how they will pull of wrestling's biggest event at MetLife Stadium. SXSW was the unlikely source of new information about WrestleMania from Stephanie McMahon.
Apparently, Stephanie McMahon revealed over the weekend at a SXSW event that the company is planning a one hour pre-show on the WWE YouTube channel. In what will be a first for the company, fans reportedly will get a chance during the pre-show to vote on stipulations or matches that could affect the pay-per-view later that night. Obviously, WWE is pushing their YouTube channel big time and WrestleMania is the perfect time to incorporate their video page.
The March 11 "Monday Night Raw," should be a big show. Chris Jericho will be making his "Raw" return at The Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN. Jericho isn't the only big return as The Undertaker is reportedly going to make an appearance to continue his new feud with C.M. Punk. Also, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman will respond to Triple H's WrestleMania challenge. Is there any chance they don't accept?
WWE superstars continue to use Twitter to add to their on-air story lines. John Cena tweeted at The Rock this past weekend, "Hey @TheRock @WWE couldn't get my visa straight 4 panama but went to #NSCA 2day to #clean it 335lbs #RTime=NOW."
WWE just parted ways with creative head Eric Pankowski last week. According to PWInsider, the writer's Hollywood mentality clashed with several people backstage at WWE. Pankowski reportedly got into arguments with several people over what would work and what wouldn't work. This obviously rubbed people the wrong way and may have led to his firing. It's surprising that WWE would fire their creative head just weeks before "WrestleMania 29" though.
