WWE WrestleMania 28: Hell in a Cell Match Setting Up WrestleMania 29 Main Event?

The WrestleMania 28 main event—The Rock vs. John Cena—was set up a year in advance, and so was another main event at this year’s pay-per-view: Triple H vs. The Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell. 

There’s no doubt that Undertaker being unable to walk out of his WrestleMania 27 match with Triple H was done to set up a potential rematch at WrestleMania 28, and I certainly have no problem with the WWE using a match to set up another huge match that’s going to happen way the road. 

In fact, it looks like that’s the plan for the Undertaker/Triple H match this year. The only thing is, what this year’s HHH/Taker match may be setting up for is a huge shocker, a huge shocker that I don’t want to see happen. 

From WrestleZone.com:

After speaking with sources, WZ has learned that WWE involved Shawn Michaels in the Hell in a Cell match between Triple H and The Undertaker with a tentative plan to set up HBK's involvement at WrestleMania 29. 

It is believed that the current plan in mind is to run some kind of finish to the Hell in a Cell match that causes Triple H to call out Shawn Michaels the next night on RAW.

The plan that is circulating behind the scenes in WWE is that Triple H and HBK would have a verbal confrontation that leads to a match at WrestleMania 29.

It has been reported that WWE wants to announce one of the big matches for WrestleMania 29 soon, giving a year to promote it just as they did with The Rock and John Cena – an HBK vs HHH match could be that main event bout.

Well, I don’t like this. At all. 

I’ve respected the hell out of Shawn Michaels for retiring when he was on top of his game and could still outwrestle anyone on the planet, and I’ve grown to respect him even more for sticking to his promise that he’ll never wrestle again.

It’s been two years since Michaels wrestled his last match, and he’s stated on a number of occasions that he was done as a wrestler. Unlike many others, he’s stuck to that promise as well. 

If Michaels returns for a match with Triple H, however, that promise goes out the window. And it’s something that shouldn’t happen. 

HBK has accomplished everything anyone could ever strive to accomplish in the wrestling business, and there’s no reason whatsoever why he should come back, especially for a match with Triple H. We’ve seen Triple H and HBK wrestle tons of times both with and against each other, and it’s not something we need to see again. 

Though Michaels is the greatest in-ring performer in WWE history, he’s retired. It’s over. It’s done. It’s time to move on. 

Under no circumstances should Michaels go back on his word and compete in a match at WrestleMania 29, even if his main reasoning for doing it is for the betterment of the company. 

If HBK really wants to help the WWE, then he’ll be as involved in the company as he can be without stepping in the ring. And if the WWE wants to set up the WrestleMania 29 main event a year in advance, they better do so without involving the Heartbreak Kid.

Update: HBK wrote on Twitter that there is no truth to this report. This isn't very surprising, as I was skeptical of it in the first place.

Note: As part of the new WWE blog, I'll be asking all of the B/R wrestling readers for questions for a new mailbag that I will post on Fridays. It will be a slideshow featuring 10-20 questions and answers on a wide range of topics. You can submit questions either through Formspring or Twitter, and the best ones will be answered in the B/R mailbag.
