After last night's Elimination Chamber 2013 Pay Per View, WWE has confirmed the top title matches for their biggest show of the year, Wrestlemania 29.
WWE Championship Match
The Rock vs. John Cena
World Heavyweight Championship Match
Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger
The Rock defeated CM Punk in a WWE Championship rematch, while Jack Swagger was the shocking winner in the Elimination Chamber who now earns a World Heavyweight Championship match at Wrestlemania 29. Both matchups have a stories to tell in the coming weeks on RAW and Smackdown, so WWE can build anticipation to see who will come the big winner in New Jersey on April 7th.
Pro Wrestling Examiner's Perspective:
The Rock vs. John Cena rematch from last year's Wrestlemania may upset some diehards who claim "Once in a Lifetime" means only one-time but if you look at the big picture there just too much marquee value in 'Rock vs. Cena II'. Look for both men to up their game and make something special yet again out of their second run against each other and likely a match that will top the first one.
Jack Swagger winning a prime slot as a number 1 contender for the World title may surprise a lot of people, especially after a lackluster return to Smackdown a few weeks ago. Add annoying preaching manager in the form of Zeb Coulter to his act and now he's a whole new man with a new drive to beat out the rest. Swagger with Coulter as his racist mouthpiece is the perfect opposition for the Mexican hero that is the reigning World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio.
