The Shield thought
that they knew their three opponents for Wrestlemania, but Vickie
Guerrero and Teddy Long threw a monkey wrench in that equation and
pulled Ryback from the match so he could face Mark Henry. It appears
that the Big Show is poised to fill that gap, but is he the man who
Randy Orton and Sheamus want to be on their side against Ambrose,
Reigns, and Rollins? What is the next
step in the build to the World Title Match? Ricardo Rodriguez had his
ankle broken by Jack Swagger. Will Alberto seek revenge for what
happened to his ring announcer and friend?
