WWE Wrestlemania 29: Schedule & Time Slots Leaked, Suggests A Major Upset

WM29 According to WrestlingInc.com (Via F4WOnline) the schedule for Sunday€™s Wrestlemania has been leaked to the public. The times below are a rough estimate on how long the company wants each match to last. Please note these matches are not in order of the schedule for the evening: Chris Jericho vs. Fandango €“ 10 minutes Ryback vs. Mark Henry €“ 12 minutes Kane and Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston €“ 12 to 15 minutes The Shield vs. Randy Orton, Sheamus and Big Show €“ 15 minutes Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio €“ 15 minutes CM Punk vs. The Undertaker €“ 20 minutes Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar €“ 20 to 30 minutes The Rock vs. John Cena €“ 25 to 30 minutes The idea of giving Fandango and Chris Jericho only ten minutes makes complete sense. The storyline isn€™t the strongest WWE have ever had. Saying that, Fandango does look a promising superstar although to give him a lengthy match on the grandest stage of them all would make no sense. Ryan vs. Mark Henry, Team Hell No vs. Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston and The Shield vs. Randy Orton, Sheamus and Big Show have all been given a similar time with the matches scheduled to last between 12-15, which shouldn€™t come as any surprise to fans. Jack Swagger€™s golden opportunity against Alberto Del Rio is one concern, with the Heavyweight title only receiving a 15 minute time slot on Sunday. This decision firmly proves the idea that the Smackdown title and brand come second to Monday Night Raw, which has been a principle for some time. With this being said WWE have to make time for more important matches and whilst it is a shame, it does make sense. Triple H vs Brock Lesnar (20-25 minutes) and The Rock vs Cena (25-30 minute) have been given a substantial amount of time which was always going to be the case. The only decision that may worry/anger fans is that C M Punk vs The Undertaker has been given just 20 minutes. With WWE having to meet time slots and make enough space for the other matches, it is once again a sensible decision but when you think about the shortness of the match schedule compared to HHH vs The Undertaker and HBK vs The Undertaker, fans do have a right to worry. It is unclear on what this 20 minutes of Punk vs Taker will mean for the night, but with Punk one of the top guys in the WWE could an upset be on the cards?
