WWE WrestleMania 29: Everything You Need to Know About This Year's Event

The Doctor Chris MuellerJun 8, 2018

WrestleMania 29 is right around the corner, and things in WWE are beginning to heat up in anticipation of the biggest night of the year.

On top of the two major title matches, we have Brock Lesnar facing Triple H and The Undertaker facing CM Punk, which are both main event matches in themselves.

When it comes to WrestleMania, there is a lot of information out there to take in, especially if you plan on attending the event in New Jersey.

This slideshow will give you information you need on a variety of WrestleMania related topics from what to expect that night, how to watch the show, transportation and lodging for those attending the event as well as information about other events happening the weekend of WrestleMania.

The Card We Have and Possible Additions

1 of 8

WrestleMania 29 might be a little on the predictable side, but nobody can deny the star power that this event packs.

We have four matches alone that could headline any other PPV of the year, and a few other matches that have the potential to steal the show.

"

Here is a full rundown of the card as it stands.

Mark Henry vs. Ryback

Team Hell No vs. Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston for the Tag titles

CM Punk vs. The Undertaker

Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H

Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger for the World title

The Shield vs. Sheamus, Randy Orton and Big Show

The Rock vs. John Cena for the WWE title

"

More matches will likely be added to the card, but this is already a PPV worth buying.

Chris Jericho and Fandango have entered into a feud which could see the ballroom dancer fight his first match as this character at WrestleMania.

We also have the US and IC titles without challengers. Miz has feuded with both men in recent months, and there is the possibility of him facing either or both men in some kind of triple-threat situation.

Kaitlyn will likely end up defending her Divas title against Layla if she turns on Katie, or Tamina who has been feuding with Kaitlyn recently.

On top of all this, there are a lot of other deserving WWE Superstars who could find a place on the card. Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, R-Truth and the Prime Time Players have all been solid performers over the past year and could benefit from a spot at WrestleMania.

The Feuds

2 of 8

There is no shortage of drama heading into WrestleMania, and many of the feuds will likely be resolved at the PPV. Here is a quick rundown of every feud on the card.

Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio:

These two seem like a feud tailor-made for each other because they are. Jack Swagger would not have been paired with Zeb Colter for this gimmick had WWE not planned on having him feud with Alberto Del Rio. Swagger is basically playing the part of the bigot while Del Rio is the dashing Spanish hero.

Team Hell No and Dolph Ziggler's crew:

This one is simple. AJ has dated half the locker room and now her current boyfriend is looking to take out her exes.

Ryback and Mark Henry:

Two powerhouses seeing who can hit who with their finisher first and hardest.

Brock Lesnar and Triple H:

This feud goes back to right before SummerSlam last year. Not only did Brock break the arm of The Game twice, but he also broke Shawn Michaels arm. Now that Lesnar has returned and taken out Vince McMahon, it is time for Triple H to take his revenge.

CM Punk and The Undertaker:

Even though this feud is new compared to some on the card, Punk and Undertaker have some history. Punk and Undertaker fought a series of matches in 2009 over the World title, one of which saw Punk win by submission in a match meant to mirror the Montreal screwjob.

Now Punk has taken things a step further by disrespecting Paul Bearer and stealing the urn. Undertaker is putting his streak on the line against Punk in order to regain his sacred urn and put down the man who disrespected his mentor.

Sheamus, Randy Orton, Big Show and The Shield:

Big Show joins Sheamus and Orton in yet another six-man match featuring The Shield. So far the trio of newcomers has put down everyone who has challenged them, but this time they might have too much to handle against Big Show.

John Cena and The Rock:

This is a feud that has been going for two years. WrestleMania 27 saw The Rock cost John Cena the WWE title, beginning their journey to this point. At Survivor Series that same year we saw The Rock and John Cena defeat Awesome Truth, followed by The Rock delivering a Rock Bottom to Cena. WrestleMania 28 saw The Rock beat Cena fair and square in a singles match, surprising many who expected him to put Cena over. Now, The Rock is WWE champion and John Cena is on a quest to regain the title he has held more times than anyone in WWE history.

Ways to Watch

3 of 8

WrestleMania is available to watch a number of different ways.

The most popular way to watch would be on pay-per-view. Your cable or satellite provider will have details on how to order.

WWE also makes the event available to stream through their official website, WWE.com.

A new feature this year is watching the show on the WWE app, which is available to download for free from the App Store and Google Play.

There are, of course, the illegal streams which get shut down quickly and can be lower quality. These sites will often contain harmful viruses as well, so be cautious if you choose to put yourself at risk.

The Location

4 of 8

This year's event will emanate from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Not only is this stadium the only one to host two NFL teams at the moment, but it is also one of the larger venues WWE has ever held a WrestleMania in.

The stadium can hold over 82,000 fans for a standard NFL game, and with WrestleMania using most of the field for seating, it could come close to breaking WWE's WrestleMania attendance record.

The newer stadium completed in 2009 will also be the home of Superbowl XLVIII in 2014.

Considering how little time the stadium has existed, it has already built a reputation for hosting memorable events.

Tickets

5 of 8

The official ticket sales for WrestleMania lists "Sold out", but that does not mean there are not tickets available.

Websites like StubHub.com, Ticketsnow.com and Craigslist.com always feature people looking to unload some extra tickets, usually at a profit.

WrestleMania is a huge event, so even the tickets furthest away from the action will run you well over $100.

If you are looking for the experience of attending a WrestleMania, then there are ways to do it, but if you want the best viewing experience, then your couch is probably the best seat in the house.

Transportation
