WrestleMania XXX: Punk to face Triple H, Piper vs Hogan is being discussed
Hulk Hogan has already confirmed that he will be at WrestleMania 30. Question was who will he face? WWE was originally planning for Hogan to work at WrestleMania included tagging up with John Cena at the event to face a heel team of some sort, possibly even The Real Americans. Before that they were planning for Hogan vs Cena for WM.
However this plan seems to be changed now. WWE is now planning to bring back “Rowdy” Roddy Piper to face Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania.
“WWE officials have reportedly talked about bringing Piper in for WrestleMania XXX, and want him to do something with Hogan. The notion here is that the two working together at the thirtieth anniversary of the “showcase of the immortals” would serve as an homage to first WrestleMania the company ever produced.”
The PWInsider report claims,
“Some of the ideas for Piper and Hogan being discussed are currently Cena and Hogan vs. Piper and another heel, Hogan vs. Piper in a singles match, or Hogan and Piper actually teaming together, to face The Real Americans.”
Piper will appear on “Old School” Raw and rumors has it that Hulk Hogan can make surprise return at the show. If he does that then the feud or tag team will lead to match at WrestleMania XXX.
One the other hand, F4WOnlins claims that CM Punk is already included in the match-card. He is set to face Triple H at WrestleMania. According to sources,
“The match is said to be a lock and will reportedly lead to another “Summer of Punk” type storyline, which may lead to a CM Punk vs. Batista match at SummerSlam.”
Note that Punk faced Triple H at Night of Champions in 2011 but he lost. That was also “Summer of Punk” and Batista went up against Punk for his World Heavyweight Championship at The Great American Bash but failed to take the title due to a double disqualification.
So after WrestleMania, Batista will most likely go after CM Punk.
