WHY WRESTLEMANIA EIGHT MAN TAG WAS CHANGED, ONE MORE MATCH THAT MAY BE ADDED TO PPV CARD

In asking around today, I am told that Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov were added to the eight man tag against the Corre at Wrestlemania as a result of WWE Creative deciding to move Christian into a role where he will be in Edge's corner at Wrestlemania 27 when Edge faces Alberto Del Rio for the World title.

There was also a feeling that Marella in particular had "earned a spot on the card" based on his work the last few years. Basically, I was told that management feels that he hits a home run with whatever he is scripted to do and has no problem portraying himself as the silly persona we see on television and since he hadn't worked a Mania card yet in the ring, this was his reward.

In regard to Kofi Kingston not being currently booked on the Wrestlemania card, I was told that nothing is definite yet but there was talk of possibly adding Drew McIntyre vs. Kofi Kinfston to the card in the last day.
