An advertised six-man tag match for the first SmackDown taping after WrestleMania all but confirms plans for the top three singles matches at WrestleMania 25. The official website of the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas released an updated card for the 4/7 SmackDown taping and they are advertising a six-man tag match pitting
John Cena,
Triple H and
Jeff Hardy against Edge,
Randy Orton and
Matt Hardy. The six-man tag match should indicate
Edge vs. John Cena for the
WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Triple H vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship, and Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy, for the WrestleMania 25 card.
In a separate note, starting with this event, the ECW tapings are being moved back to Tuesday nights with SmackDown. This is being done to make room for the WGN "Superstars" show that debuts in April and will be taped on Monday nights prior to Raw. No word yet if WWE will debut the "Superstars" taping the night before at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, but it seems highly likely. If they start taping the show the night after WrestleMania, the show would debut on Thursday, April 8.
BleacherReport.com has an article up on the lengths that Vince McMahon has been going to recently to keep things from leaking onto the internet, like covering the Elimination Chamber in tarp on Sunday.Many people have noticed that Christian's WWE.com bio says that he was trained by Bret Hart. Christian has never mentioned that he was officially trained by Hart, but has mentioned that back in 1997, he and Edge once went to the Hart house to do some training with Bret. Christian started his training with Ron Hutchinson in Toronto.
