WWE News: Randy Orton to Be Added to World Title Match at WrestleMania 28?

The WWE announced on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw that Daniel Bryan would defend his World Heavyweight Championship against the 2012 Royal Rumble winner Sheamus at WrestleMania 28, but you might want to write that bout down in pencil rather than pen. 

Ever since Sheamus won the Royal Rumble match, many wrestling fans have speculated that Randy Orton would somehow work his way into Sheamus’s match with Bryan and make it a Triple Threat. 

After reading this report, that speculation is sure to grow. 

From WrestlingInc.com: 

"

Kris sent word that Randy Orton vs. Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan for the World Heavyweight Title is being advertised as one of the main events for WWE's Over the Limit pay-per-view. For now take this as a rumor but Kris says that the match was advertised in Raleigh, North Carolina during last night's RAW Supershow.

Although many of us have considered the possibility of a three-way feud for the World Heavyweight title, we’ve never really seen or heard the WWE address the possibility of it until now. 

The Over the Limit pay-per-view takes place only about a month and a half after WrestleMania 28, and if a Triple Threat match is possibly in store for us then, then chances are that Sheamus vs. Bryan vs. Orton could indeed be the route the WWE goes at the biggest PPV of the year. 

I, like many others, have maintained that this would be the World Heavyweight title match we see at WrestleMania 28 for a number of different reasons.

But the main one is that Orton’s injury at the hands of Bryan caused him to be removed from Sunday’s Elimination Chamber match, and as a result, Orton will probably claim that he’s entitled to a World Heavyweight Championship match and will somehow find his way into the bout at WrestleMania 28. 

While I have no real problem with seeing Sheamus vs. Bryan again, we did just see that match (on Smackdown, nonetheless). So, I have to question if the WWE would really give that match away if there were plans to still hold it at WrestleMania 28. 

I honestly don’t think so. 

There are just too many things happening that all point toward a Triple Threat match at Mania, and the report above is the latest one.
