The Road to WrestleMania 29 leads through Philadelphia, Penn., Monday night as WWE RAW emanates from the Wells Fargo Center.
With only two weeks to go until the biggest wrestling PPV event of the year, WWE has been cramming as much of their WrestleMania card in as they possibly can as they try and build momentum for storylines that will feature big names including movie star/ WWE Champion Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, former UFC champion Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Triple H, CM Punk, the Undertaker and more.
And speaking of The Rock, the WWE Champion, who was awarded the Favorite Male Buttkicker award at the Nick Kids Choice Awards this past weekend, will be in Philadelphia Monday night, where he will undoubtedly be in another segment with Cena to hype their headlining WrestleMania main event rematch.
Meanwhile, the CM Punk vs. Undertaker storyline for WrestleMania has been building steam thanks to the controversial decision from WWE brass to use the late Paul Bearer's recent death as part of the storyline. WWE icon the Undertaker is scheduled to appear and address Punk, who reportedly drew some heat after dropping the urn live on camera and uttering an expletive that was caught on camera.
However, Bearer's son Michael Moody has given his approval of the WWE's use of his father's death in the storyline recently, stating that "We knew Dad wouldn't have wanted it any other way."
With Punk being pulled from all live events to nurse injuries as he heads into WrestleMania, it will be interesting to see what Punk's role will be Monday night as he prepares for one of WrestleMania's most talked-about bouts.
In addition, the Mark Henry vs. Ryback match for WrestleMania may have hit a snag as Henry suffered an injury at a house show this past week in Norfolk,Va. If Henry isn't around for Monday night, that could be an indication that he may not be ready to go for the big April 7 PPV.
