WWE Rumors: Triple H, John Cena, The Rock and Tuesday's Top WWE News

Another week, another solid build to WrestleMania. The idea of dueling concerts between The Rock and John Cena did not have a lot of potential when first announced, but it ended up not being as counterproductive as it could have been. 

It will be interesting to see how WWE handles everything now with two weeks to go. We know Cena will be wrestling Mark Henry next week. 

But enough with the Raw recaps, we are here to talk about news and notes from WWE. It is getting down to crunch time for the company, with the biggest show of the year, and everything is on lockdown. We will break down all the information you need to get you ready for the SmackDown tapings tonight. 

TRIPLE H GETTING SHUTOUT OF WRESTLEMANIA DECISIONS

With Triple H and Stephanie McMahon taking more of a creative role backstage, it would make sense to assume they had a hand in a lot of booking decisions for WrestleMania. Considering the money that Vince McMahon hopes to make from the show, it turns out that isn't the case based on a report. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: Will Vince ever really give up creative control of WWE?

Our Take: If you know anything about him, the answer should be obvious. Without WWE, McMahon is lost. He's like a puppy chasing his tail. Until he leaves earth, McMahon will always have some say in what goes on.

This is nothing more than an ego-stroking move for McMahon. When the buy rate for the show comes in--presumably at the highest level in company history--he can take sole credit for it, because it was his decisions that got it there.

JOHN CENA ANSWERS THE ROCK'S INSULTS

The Rock tried to even the score with John Cena on Raw, but instead wound up giving the world a bunch of sophomoric barbs about Cena's mom. (The one about Cena making out with Eve, despite being married was good.) Never one to let something linger, Cena offered a response on Twitter. 

"

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I take nothing personal. Truly glad to see @therock back! He needed that tonight #WM28

— John Cena (@JohnCena) March 13, 2012"

Question on Everybody's Mind: Did Rock "need that?"

Our Take: There seems to be a thread on the Internet, with fans wondering who won the feud this week? That's always seemed kind of foolish, because as long as what we are presented with properly builds to the match, it shouldn't matter who is winning or losing.

Now that the comedy is out of the way, hopefully, we can get back to the issues at hand. Cena needs to win to prove he is the best. Rock needs to win to prove he is still the iconic figure in wrestling that he used to be.

THE MIZ TO RUIN ROCK-CENA WRESTLEMANIA MATCH

In one of the worst rumors being bantered about, it appears there could be a plan for Miz to get involved in the Rock and Cena match at WrestleMania. This would presumably lead to a feud with Cena at Extreme Rules. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: How bad would that be for WWE?

Our Take: In the annals of horrible WWE booking decisions, it would be at or near the top. Rock and Cena has been building for over a year, so to do anything but a clean finish in the Main Event of WrestleMania would be as cheap an ending as there could possibly be. 

Hype Meter: 4 out of 5 Reasons Miz Isn't Awesome

The prevailing theory seems to be that Miz is losing now, so his desperation will lead him to do something drastic. Get another idea, because no one cares about Miz. They didn't when he was champion last year, and they sure don't now.

ROCK OR BRET HART TO INDUCT YOKOZUNA IN WWE HALL OF FAME

It is expected that the late Yokozuna will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. The only thing not known is who will induct him. The two names being talked about are The Rock and Bret Hart. 

Question on Everybody's Mind: Who should put Yokozuna in?

Our Take: Rock should be given the edge in this one. He is related to Yokozuna--real name Rodney Agatupu Anoaʻi--and the event is built around Rock's return to the ring in his hometown. Hart was able to get good matches out of Yokozuna in 1994, but he doesn't have the blood connection that Rock does. 

Hype Meter: 3 out of 5 Hall of Fame Speeches

Yokozuna was more of a novelty act than a great wrestler, but he had a good level of success considering his limited ability. He was more agile than most big men, at least he was before his weight problems got out of control.
