Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News, I am Luke Owen.
Headline: WrestleMania 34 Kick Off Matches Revealed!
WrestleMania 34 is this coming Sunday and we here at WrestleTalk are gearing up for
it!
We've got a bonus WrestleRamble today going over the go-home show of Raw, and we've
got another one tomorrow for Smackdown Live.
Oli and I will be doing our normal reviews and news episodes, and we'll have bonus
WrestleRambles giving our predictions for both NXT Takeover: New Orleans and WrestleMania.
And it's a good job we weren't planning on predicting which matches will be on the
pre-show, as WWE would have spoiled our fun.
It was revealed on Monday Night Raw and Twitter that Cedrick Alexander vs. Mustafa Ali for
Vacant's Cruiserweight Championship, and both battle royals will be on the 2-hour pre-show
for WrestleMania 34.
Alexander vs. Ali is the culmination of 205 Live's tournament to crown a new champion
and could well be a show-stealer if given time.
The WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal - which once had the controversial name of The Fabulous
Moolah Memorial Battle Royal - sees every other female member of the WWE roster not
involved in either title match vye to win a trophy that looks like bikini bottoms.
It will be interesting to see if WWE get any negative feedback to putting this so-called
historic match on the kick off show, as the Smackdown Live Women's Championship match
was bumped onto the main card last year after fans complained about it being on the pre-show.
The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal sees names like Matt Hardy, Breezango, The
Revival, Dolph Ziggler and Baron Corbin - and will likely have a couple of surprise names
thrown in there like the rumoured to be returning Big Cass.
And going by the house shows since Ultimate Deletion, we could also see a return of Bray
Wyatt as well.
And someone else who had been rumoured to be returning could also enter himself into
the match.
Headline: Big Show WWE Return Confirmed!
WWE kicked off WrestleMania week with Big Show ringing the opening bell at the New York
Stock Exchange [9], but more interestingly came from a sit down interview Show did after
the bell was rung - revealing that he had signed a new deal with WWE and would be returning
soon.
"The rumours of me retiring are false.
I re-signed in January.
A multi-year deal.
For those who wanted me to retire, too bad, so sad, I'm still here."
The rumours of Big Show retiring came last year after his cage match loss to Braun Strowman,
which led to Show taking some off to have hip surgery.
As we mentioned in our WrestleMania 34 rumours video over the weekend, Show had told UPI
that he would be back in a WWE ring by WrestleMania and there had been rumours he could be in
the battle royal on the kick off show.
But even if Show isn't in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal or Braun's tag
team partner - he's got something else to do over Mania weekend.
Headline: Big Show To Induct Mark Henry Into WWE Hall Of Fame
WWE revealed via Twitter than Mark Henry's Hall of Pain rival The Big Show will induct
him into the WWE Hall of Fame 2018 [12] - which Big Show will apparently do naked (well I'll
be darned).
Henry and Show have a well documented real life friendship outside of WWE, and it's
fitting that Henry's rival during the best run of his WWE career is inducting him.
But just wait a second there folks, we're not done with Big Show announcements just
yet!
Headline: Big Show In Greatest Royal Rumble!
Earlier this year WWE announced they would be holding the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi
Arabia on April 27th.
The show will see seven title defenses, a match between John Cena and Triple H, and
the first-ever 50-man over the top rope Royal Rumble.
And WWE's Twitter machine announced some of the entrants into that Royal Rumble - including
Bray Wyatt, Kane, Braun Strowman, Smackdown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan and the
returning Big Show.
Now before anyone questions whether this means Braun isn't winning the tag team championships
at WrestleMania, just remember that the card is always subject to change.
WrestleMania 34 is this coming Sunday and we broke down 10 - that's right - 10 of
the biggest rumours, surprises and potential returns!
