- Believe it or not, one direction WWE is going for at the Royal Rumble is to have Christian Cage make his return and cost Jeff Hardy the WWE Championship in the match with Edge. The idea would be to have Jeff not look weak and earn the WWE Title shot for WrestleMania 25, likely at No Way Out but then give it up for a match with Christian Cage. Yes, give it up. The plan has Christian Cage screwing Hardy enough times and building heat with him bad enough that Hardy wants the match with him at WrestleMania 25 regardless. Triple H factors into the plan somehow as he is slated to face Edge for the WWE Title at WrestleMania 25.
As we always say and as Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer notes with the above news, things are always changing in WWE, sometimes day to day but this is one direction they are looking to go with. These plans will more than likely change as well but Jeff Hardy is set for a feud with Christian, who is returning to WWE. At one point they wanted to put a stipulation on the Hardy and Edge match at Royal Rumble but Vince nixed it.
Whether or not Triple H will win the WWE Title at WrestleMania is anyone’s guess, but he hasn’t had a victory at WrestleMania since WrestleMania 19 when he defended the World Heavyweight Title against Booker T. He’s lost every year except when he was out with injury, so you could say he’s due.
