– WWE officials are officially looking ahead in earnest to WrestleMania 30. The Wrestling Observer reports that the company is trying to secure agreements with several individuals not currently on the roster including Goldberg, Sting and Shawn Michaels. Some highlights of the rumors are below:

* There is not expected to be a match between Triple H and Steve Austin (w/Vince McMahon) for control of the company, as had been previously rumored.

* WWE is trying to sign Sting, whose contract with TNA expires soon, so he can face The Undertaker. If they cannot, then Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar is the planned backup.

* WWE is also interested in getting Goldberg so he can face Ryback, who would face Big Show at the Elimination Chamber to build him up for the match. If no deal with Goldberg can be reached, then Ryback vs. Big Show would take place at WrestleMania.

* CM Punk vs. Randy Orton is planned for the show; while there were plans for him to win the Royal Rumble for a shot at Orton and the WWE Title, the latest plans will give the Royal Rumble winner a shot at Cena and the World Title.

* There is a lot of talk that despite his denials of returning to the ring, Shawn Michaels will face Daniel Bryan.

* There is a plan to have Goldust turn on Cody Rhodes and the two to get the WrestleMania match both have wanted. Goldust has impressed officials with his return.
