Sunday April 2 marks the 22nd Wrestlemania in the elite history of World Wrestling Entertainment, as the company rolls into the AllState arena in Chicago to perform in front of nearly 20,000 screaming fans and a worldwide Pay Per View audience. Stars such as P.O.D and Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child will be on hand to perform live versions of Rey Mysterio's theme and America the Beautiful respectively.
But who are you paying to watch? These guys:
WWE Champion John Cena vs Triple H
The Game looks to take the belt from John Cena and become WWE Champion for an eleventh time, proving that he really is "The King of Kings". However the reining champion, who won the belt one year ago at Wrestlemania 21, says Triple H is no different from his previous opponents and will not back down from anyone. What will happen at WrestleMania 22? Will the “King of Kings” come through on his bold declaration and be crowned an 11-time world champion, or will The Champ once again rise to the occasion on the biggest stage of them all?
World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio vs Randy Orton
At the Royal Rumble, Rey Mysterio last eliminated Randy Orton to win the Royal Rumble Match, earning a championship match in the main event at WrestleMania and dedicated the victory to the late, great Eddie Guerrero. However Randy Orton would use Eddie's legacy against his best friend, which led to Randy beating Rey at No Way Out, earning him a shot against Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania. Who will emerge from Chicago as the World Heavyweight Champion? Can Orton fulfill his proclaimed destiny and regain the gold? Can Rey take home the gold in memory of his beloved friend? Or will the Olympic Gold Medalist stay golden on April 2?
No Holds Barred - Mr McMahon vs Shawn Michaels
Since the night after Christmas, Mr. McMahon has made it his mission to make Shawn Michaels’ life a living hell. At WrestleMania 22, HBK will get a chance to get some retribution when he meets the WWE Chairman one on one.
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Rob Van Dam, Ric Flair and Shelton Benjamin from RAW and Bobby Lashley, Matt Hardy and Finlay from Smackdown! will battle it out for a guaranteed shot at the World championship at any time they wish to do so for one full year. Last year, Edge beat five other RAW superstars to win the first ever money in the bank ladder match. Then, nine months later at New Years Revolution, he cashed in his shot and defeated John Cena to win his first ever WWE title. Who will walk out of Chicago this Sunday with the name 'Mr Money in the Bank'?
Casket Match - Mark Henry vs The Undertaker
It might appear that Undertaker has an enormous advantage heading into the Super Bowl of professional wrestling. He is undefeated after all, and this is one of his signature matches. It’s as if he has the home field advantage. But he’s not facing any ordinary opponent. He’s facing the human wrecking machine, Mark Henry. Can Mark Henry bring Undertaker’s unprecedented WrestleMania winning streak to an end? Or will the Deadman make it an unbelievable 14-0?
Hardcore Match - Edge vs Mick Foley
Edge has been involved in some of the most memorable WrestleMania matches, and has won them all. At WrestleMania 22, he hopes to continue that trend when he steps into Mick Foley’s domain, taking on the Hardcore Legend in a Hardcore Match. Last year at WrestleMania 21, Edge became Mr. Money in the Bank. Can he come out on top at WrestleMania once again, or will Foley prove that he’s still the only Hardcore Legend in WWE?
United States Champion Chris Benoit vs JBL
Chris Benoit and JBL are two of the toughest Superstars in WWE history. The Rabid Wolverine has shown time and time again that he has ruthless aggression, and JBL has proven that he can trade blows with the best of them. Add Benoit’s United States Championship to the equation and you have all the makings of a brutal brawl.
World Tag Team Champions Kane & Big Show vs. Chris Masters & Carlito
In recent months, Kane & Big Show have had issues with Chris Masters & Carlito. At WrestleMania 22, the World Tag Team Champions will put their gold on the line against the two young lions. Can Carlito & Masters overcome the much bigger team of Kane & Big Show at WrestleMania 22, or will Big Show & Kane continue their amazing stretch of dominance in the RAW tag team division?
Women's Champion Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James
For months, Mickie James claimed to be Trish Stratus’ biggest fan, going so far as to proclaim her love for Trish on several occasions, calling Trish her 'dream girl' and even kissing her. Thanks to a brutal attack on Saturday Night’s Main Event, it seems the love is gone, and now at WrestleMania 22, James will take on her idol for the Women’s Championship. Can she topple the most decorated Women’s Champion in history and walk out with the gold, or will Trish put Mickie in her place once and for all?
Boogeyman vs. Booker T & Sharmell
For weeks, Booker T and his wife Sharmell have been haunted by the bizarre Boogeyman. Everywhere Booker and Sharmell turn, the worm-eating Superstar is right behind them. Smackdown! general manage Theodore Long then gave the fans what they wanted: The Boogeyman vs both Booker T and his wife Sharmell. Can the husband and wife face their fears on April 2 to be successful?
Playboy Pillow Fight - Torrie Wilson vs. Candice Michelle
In recent weeks, the friendship between Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson has disintegrated. At WrestleMania 22, the current Playboy Magazine cover girl and the former two-time Playboy model will settle their differences in a Playboy Pillow Fight. The winners here? The fans.
