At
WrestleMania
22, the
World Heavyweight Championship
will be decided in a Triple Threat Match;
however, as it stands, only two of the
participants are known.
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. Rey dedicated the victory to
Eddie Guerrero,
and this dedication would ultimately lead to
him losing his opportunity.
Randy Orton made some disparaging comments
about Guerrero, but it was all a ploy. The
Legend Killer wanted Rey’s main event slot
all along, and challenged Mysterio to a
match for the opportunity. Because of
Orton’s slander of Guerrero, Rey accepted.
However, at No Way Out, a handful of ropes
helped Orton defeat Mysterio, claiming the
prize Rey had won in the Royal Rumble Match.
The following Friday
night, Rey apologized to everyone for
letting them down by losing the opportunity.
However, General Manager
Theodore Long
interrupted his speech; he told Rey that
while he couldn’t take Orton out of the main
event, he could add to it, and announced
that the main event of WrestleMania 22 would
be a Triple Threat Match, with both the
Legend Killer and Mysterio challenging the
World Heavyweight Champion.
As for the final slot
in the match, it will be filled by either
Kurt Angle
or
Undertaker.
At No Way Out, Angle defeated the Deadman to
retain the World Heavyweight Championship in
an instant classic. However, on the March 3
edition of Friday Night
SmackDown,
Angle and Undertaker will have a rematch,
with the winner going on to WrestleMania as
the World Heavyweight Champion.
Who will emerge from Chicago as the World
Heavyweight Champion? Can Orton fulfill his
proclaimed destiny and regain the gold? Will
the Deadman be there to make it 14-0 at
WrestleMania? Can Rey take home the gold in
memory of his beloved friend? Or will the
Olympic Gold Medalist stay golden through
April 2? To find out, be sure to watch
WrestleMania 22. |
