Answer
Hi Billy.  Thanks for the question.

1.  The way the angle is being presented is based off of a real situation, but Cena and the Rock don't really hate each other.  Are they best friends?  Probably not, but it's not like they don't get along.  Cena has said in interviews that the Rock is a great guy, but he just doesn't agree with the way the Rock left wrestling.

The whole thing started a few years ago when Cena criticized the Rock in an interview for basically leaving wrestling behind to work in Hollywood, and not returning. If I remember correctly, the Rock didn't really have any comment when asked about it.  I remember at the Hall of Fame ceremony a few years ago that the Rock took a friendly jab at Cena.

2.  Obviously, I don't know how the angle is going to play out at WrestleMania, but I have a feeling that since Cena and the Rock are going at each other now, that it will somehow lead to them shaking hands at WrestleMania.  I'm predicting the Miz will end up taking the brunt of any punishment the Rock deals out.  

3.  I don't think so, at least in regards to Triple H vs. Undertaker.  I think that match pretty much speaks for itself, and doesn't need the Rock to be involved.

What happens after WrestleMania is anybody's guess, but I honestly don't see the Rock being around too much to start anything with Triple H.

4.  If there's one guy who can convince Vince McMahon to let him be the one to end the streak, it's Triple H.  However, I don't see it happening.  I wouldn't be surprised if Shawn Michaels is the referee, but I think the Undertaker will end up winning.

I also think it would a total lack of respect for Michaels if Triple ends up winning, especially after the matches Michaels had with the Undertaker at the last two WrestleMania's.

5.  I think Cena will end up winning.  I can't see the Miz beating him clean at this point, and there usually isn't a lot of screw job finishes at WrestleMania.

I think Edge will retain the title over Alberto Del Rio.  I guess it wouldn't shock me if Del Rio won, but I just think it's too soon for him.

6.  Like I said, I think Michaels will end up as the ref in the Triple H/Undertaker match.  Stone Cold is advertised for an upcoming Raw, so it wouldn't surprise me if he is used somehow.

There were rumors that Batista and Chris Jericho would be returning, but I doubt Jericho will be, since he will be on Dancing With the Stars.  I haven't heard anything lately about Batista.

Thanks again for the question.  Let me know if you have anything else.

Have a great night!

Dave
