Rebooking WrestleMania 29

Image result for wrestlemania 29

WrestleMania 29 is remembered for one match, The Undertaker vs CM Punk. WrestleMania 29 looked great on paper, but the delivery was the contrary.

We witnessed "Once in a Lifetime" twice and The Rock endorsing John Cena at the conclusion.

Some of the matches were great to put on the WrestleMania card, but the quality of the matches wasn't as expected.

WrestleMania 29 will be rebooked in its entirety.

Dolph Ziggler vs Chris Jericho

In August of 2012, Chris Jericho had his contract terminated after losing to Dolph Ziggler the night after SummerSlam. Roughly six months later, "Y2J" made a shocking return at the 2013 Royal Rumble and had a great performance by entering at number two and lasting forty-seven minutes before being eliminated by "The Showoff".

It seemed that if WWE were going to plan Chris Jericho vs Dolph Ziggler III at WrestleMania 29 with a satisfying conclusion. Instead, We had "Y2J" against Fandango and Dolph Ziggler teaming up with Big E Langston against Team Hell No.

If given twenty-five minutes, Jericho and Ziggler could've put on a WrestleMania classic

Winner: Dolph Ziggler

Team Hell No & Ryback vs The Shield (No Holds Barred 6-man tag team match)

Team Hell No & Ryback facing The Shield at TLC 2012

The six-man tag team match between Team Hell No, Ryback and The Shield at TLC 2012 is one of the most underrated WWE matches of all time.

Ryback was at his peak, Team Hell No was still a hot commodity, and The Shield was on fire as a new stable.

Having "The Hounds of Justice" take on the tandem of Team Hell No and Ryback would've ensured another great match with some great spots.

Winners: The Shield

Triple H vs Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar vs Triple H at a WrestleMania sounds great on paper, but the delivery of their match at the "Showcase of the Immortals" was underwhelming.

While "The Beast" vs "The Game" wasn't a bad match by any means, the match felt deflated due to its place on the card, and the stipulation behind it, and Triple H's retirement stipulation.

The match with a No Holds Barred stipulation isn't a necessity, a standard one-on-one match would've done the trick.

Winner: Brock Lesnar destroys Triple H in a lopsided encounter

John Cena vs Sheamus vs Alberto Del Rio vs (Dolph Ziggler) (Fatal Four-Way match for the World Heavyweight Championship)

In 2013, the World Heavyweight Championship felt more like a mid-card title more than a World title. A superstar the caliber of John Cena could've added the utmost prestige to the damaged World Heavyweight Championship.

The "Leader of the Cenation" loses to CM Punk in a WWE Championship match on Raw, then Cena challenges for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania.

Winner: John Cena, then Dolph Ziggler cashes in and wins the World Heavyweight Championship.

The Rock vs Randy Orton (dream match)

When The Rock returned to WWE in 2011, there were many matches that could've been presented with "The Great One", Randy Orton is one of the opponents that fans wanted The Rock to face off against at a big stage.

With "The Viper" being in the middle of a six-man tag team match with The Shield, Randy Orton could've been used on a bigger platform leading up to "The Showcase of the Immortals" in 2013.

If "The Legend Killer" turned heel for a feud against The Rock, the fans would've been instantly interested in a clash of generations.

Randy Orton returning to his "Legend Killer" roots and dismantling "The Great One" at the "Show of Shows" would've been a spectacle.

Winner: Randy Orton
