PWINSIDER Q&A: BATISTA AT WRESTLEMANIA, MONEY IN THE BANK, AMERICA'S MOST WANTED AND MORE

WARNING: There is a potential spoiler in the following.

Answered: 1/31

I think it's pretty obvious the WrestleMania main events will be Undertaker vs. Edge and Triple H vs. John Cena, given your recent report that Ric Flair will face Shawn Michaels that leaves two other big stars. Rather than being lost in the shuffle in the Money in the Bank match, do you think it would be possible to see a Batista vs. Randy Orton match?

While I agree that Undertaker vs. Edge and Triple H vs. John Cena are in the running for Wrestlemania, there is no guarantee that those will be the matches that take place.  We could easily see Edge vs. Batista (although I would prefer Taker), or Cena vs. Jeff Hardy or Randy Orton (or both).  Actually, it is possible that Cena won't win the title at No Way Out, and it will be Orton defending at the event.  That said, if WWE were to go with Taker vs. Edge and HHH vs. Cena, along with Michaels vs. Flair, Batista vs. Orton would certainly be a logical possibility. 

What is up with the Money In The Bank match at WM? I've heard nothing about it. I thought by now you'd at least have the wrestlers trying to get into the match. Does the WWE plan to have a MITB match? If so, who do you see in the match?

From what I understand, there will be a Money In The Bank match at Wrestlemania.  However, with the way No Way Out is set up, you a lot of wrestlers that could end up in a title match at Wrestlemania, so I can't see WWE naming any MITB participants until after the Elimination Chambers and title matches at that PPV have been completed, thus setting up our Mania title bouts. 

With Chris Harris coming to WWE, any chance of America's Most Wanted reforming? Who was the other guy? Where is he? Am I wrong in thinking that AMW is easily the best NEW tag team in a long time?

No chance, as the "other guy", also known as James Storm, is still working for TNA. AMW certainly was a very good tag team, but they haven't been a tag team for quite a few months now. 

Why would TNA allow Shelly Martinez to advertise her recent porno shoot? Don't you think that making it well known that her video comes out next month is going to cause some backlash with parents that watch the show? Honestly WWE gets crap for what they have their Divas wear on their shows, why would TNA not take a beating for having an active porn star on their roster? I know ECW did it with Jasmin St. Claire but she was dating Blue Meanie at the time and ECW never even tried to be a family friendly product. Is this a big mistake by TNA or something they had no control over?

I don't think TNA had any say in the matter, since she did this fetish film before she signed with the company.  Honestly, as long as TNA isn't advertising it on Impact, I don't expect there to be any problems or backlash. 

If Big Show really is coming back to WWE, where do you see him fitting in at WM? You think he'll do a match or just an appearance? I'm looking at what the WWE has set up already and I don't see a spot for him other then as a third party to a title match. But, if he is put in a three way doesn't he have to win or risk looking weak upon his return?

I don't think Big Show will be in the title picture at Wrestlemania, should WWE have him return to television before the big event.  They always could hold off on bringing Show back until after the PPV.  However, that seems unlikely (and I doubt Show would want to be left off the biggest event of the year).  If I had to put Big Show in a bout, I would be tempted to match him up against Great Khali in a "giant vs. giant" match, although the quality of such a match .... well, it's a bit scary to think about.
