WRESTLEMANIA EP442: HOGAN DEFENDS WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST CENA AND THE WARRIOR!
Here we are at the final match of WrestleMania as World Heavyweight champion Hollywood Hogan seeks to defend his championship against returning former champion John Cena and the Royal Rumble winner Ultimate Warrior!
As winner of the Royal Rumble, The Ultimate Warrior had his choice of champion to challenge and for awhile, it appeared as tho' he had set his crosshairs on WWE Champion Sting, but fans erupted when The Warrior decided on a rematch of their WrestleMania 6 classic.. it would be another Ultimate Challenge! But far from a smooth run to WrestleMania, Warrior first had to see off the challenge from Brock Lesnar who tried to pry the Rumble winner's title shot away from him...but was ultimately unsuccessful. The Warrior's issues weren't to end there tho... as Mr. McMahon announced that a third participant had been approved to join his title match at WrestleMania.
And that man was the returning former nWo leader and World Heavyweight champion, John Cena! Not seen since sustaining an injury defending his title against Stone Cold Steve Austin all the way back at Hell In A Cell.. Cena was never beaten for his belt. Mr. McMahon agreed to make the World Heavyweight championship match into a Triple Threat battle between the three superstars.
Perhaps the man most unhappy with proceedings would be the reigning champion. The Hulkster's been a fighting champion ever since he cashed in his Money In The Bank briefcase on Roman Reigns..showcasing his Hollywood's Greatest Hits against his most iconic opponents. He survived the Elimination Chamber to emerge with his title... and he will have to defend his belt without his nWo cohorts to assist him.
But Hogan has proved himself to himself a master tactician at every turn since his arrival as the American Patriot to take leadership of the nWo to his systematic dismantling of Roman Reigns to facilitate a successful MiTB cash-in.. the Hulkster may yet have another ace up his sleeve to survive this challenge tonight.
So here we go... The main event of WrestleMania...
