With the WWE's Royal Rumble pay-per-view over with, the road to WrestleMania XXX is underway and the WWE has already planned out the top five matches that they will focus the event and upcoming storylines around when the pay-per-view launches on April 6 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
With Batista having won the 30-man over-the-top-rope match, he will now go on to face Randy Orton for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. While there is still the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view on Feb. 23 and Orton could lose the title at that event, Wrestlingheadlines.com reports that the WWE will keep the title on Orton for a clash with Batista at the biggest event of the year.
The WWE's planned John Cena and Bray Wyatt match began to take shape at the Royal Rumble when Wyatt came out with Luke Harper and Erick Rowan to cause Cena his title match against Orton on the show, and it appears as though the two will now feud up until a clash at WrestleMania XXX.
Wrestlingheadlines.com has also reported that the rumored Brock Lesnar and Undertaker match is still in the works for WrestleMania XXX and Lesnar defeating The Big Show at the Royal Rumble in impressive fashion was likely booked to make Lesnar look strong heading into a clash with the deadman and his undefeated streak at the pay-per-view. The WWE has been in close talks with Sting, and it remains to be seen if this planned match will change if Sting ends up signing with the company.
Another match that is in the WWE's plans looks to be the rumored bout between CM Punk and Triple H as the storyline pitting Punk vs. The Authority will come to a head when Punk takes on "The Game" at the event. The WWE furthered this situation at the Royal Rumble with authority member Kane taking out Punk and eliminating him despite the fact that he was already taken out of the match.
The fifth and final plan for the WWE's biggest show of all-time, is Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus, according to Wrestlingheadlines.com. This will be the third time that these two go head-to-head at the biggest show of the year as they fought for the United States Championship in a dark match at WrestleMania XXVII and then Sheamus defeated Bryan in 18 seconds the very next year at WrestleMania XXVII to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
These seem to be the top five marquee matches that the WWE will push when WrestleMania emanates from New Orleans on April 6.
