Background
WrestleMania will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing feuds, plots, storylines that will be played out on IWE's primary television programs. Wrestlers will portray villains or heroes as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
On January 27, 2013, Dustin Simpson won the 2013 Royal Rumble match, making him a two-time Rumble winner. In doing so, he earned a IWE Championship or World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania 29. The next night on the January 28 edition of Raw, he announced that he will challenge the reigning IWE Champion. At the Elimination Chamber event on February 17, 2013, The Rock successfully defended the IWE Championship against CM Punk. The following night on Raw, Punk would challenge Simpson for his spot in the main event, which Simpson accepted. Should Simpson win, it would set up a rematch of his match with The Rock from WrestleMania XXVIII, Simpson defeated Punk.
Also at Elimination Chamber, World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio successfully retained his championship against Big Show. A returning Jack Swagger won the six-man Elimination Chamber match against Khris Jericho, Kody Brown, Kane, Steven Larson and Kevin McAlmond to become the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, and will challenge Del Rio for the title at WrestleMania.
