WWE has no house shows this weekend, giving both rosters a weekend at home before television next week, after which most of the roster will be heading to Florida for several days of Wrestlemania-related activities leading up the PPV on March 30th. Both Raw and Smackdown/ECW will be taking place in "Flair Country", with Ric Flair advertised for both events in his familiar Carolina stomping grounds. Obviously, if Ric Flair retires at Wrestlemania, this will be the final appearances of the "Nature Boy" in the heart of the old Crockett territory.
The final Raw before Wrestlemania broadcasts from the Colonial Center in Columbia, South Carolina on Monday, March 24th. Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes will be making an autograph appearance Monday afternoon from 1-2pm at the Wendy's on Harbison Blvd. in Columbia.
Smackdown will be taped and ECW will broadcast from the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, North Carolina on Tuesday, March 25th. The dark match main event that is being advertised for Fayetteville is Ric Flair, The Undertaker & Batista vs. Edge, Big Show & MVP in a six-man tag team match.
Of course, the following week is Wrestlemania from Orlando, Florida at the Citrus Bowl on Sunday, March 30th with the following announced lineup:
- World Champion Edge vs. The Undertaker.
- WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. Triple H vs. John Cena.
- A 24-man Battle Royale, with the winner receiving an immediate title match with ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero. Participants announced: The Great Khali, Kane, Jamie Noble, Chuck Palumbo, Mark Henry, Big Daddy V.
- Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels. If Ric Flair loses, he must retire.
- Money In The Bank: Ken Kennedy vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Jericho vs. Carlito vs. MVP vs. CM Punk vs. John Morrison.
- Big Show vs. Floyd Mayweather.
- Batista vs. Umaga.
- Belfast Brawl: Fit Finlay vs. JBL.
- Playboy Bunnymania Lumberjack Match: Maria & Candice Michelle vs. Beth Phoenix & Melina. Snoop Dogg will be the "Master Of Ceremonies" for the match and Kim Kardashian will be the "guest hostess".
