Many fans have been wondering how the Floyd Mayweather/Big Show match will go down tonight. Will it be boxing? Wrestling? A combination of both?

Now that the company has announced an "anything goes" stipulation to the bout, many WWE officials are not optimistic about how it will turn out.

Despite the fact that he's been training hard for the match, Mayweather has been reportedly slow to pick up many of the basics of pro wrestling.

Triple H has been assigned the task of trying to save the match from being a disaster. He's been working closely with Mayweather and Big Show over the past few days. Expect the match to be heavily scripted.

Which match are you most looking forward to at Wrestlemania 24?

As you ponder that question, here's a look at a new poster for the event. It features all the superstars involved in the show's big matches, from The Undertaker to John Cena...

It was announced during last night's ECW show that a 24-man battle royale featuring wrestlers from all three brands will be taking place during WrestleMania. The winner will then challenge Chavo Guerrero for the ECW title during the very same show.

There was talk of doing the battle royal and/or the ECW title match as dark matches to only be shown on the WrestleMania DVD release, but now they're combining the two for the main show.

Here are a few WWE rumors floating around for Wrestlemania 24...

• There are currently no plans to do an ECW title match at WrestleMania. However, it's been discussed as a pre-show match as a DVD exclusive.

• There is also talk of conducting the annual interbrand Battle Royal as a pre-show match at WrestleMania. WWE does this match every year so that all their regulars receive a WrestleMania bonus. It also serves as morale booster for undercard wrestlers.

• There has been talk of doing a Legends Battle Royal match at WrestleMania. They last did it in 2001 with Iron Sheik winning. However, Triple H is said to be greatly against the idea.

As we get closer and closer to Wrestlemania 24, here are a couple more rumors about the event:

• There's talk of adding CM Punk vs. Chavo Guerrero in an Extreme Rules match for the ECW Title to the lineup.

• Three spots remain for this year's Money in the Bank ladder match. Currently the favorites for those slots are Elijah Burke, Kane and - believe it or not - The Great Khali.

According to Lordsofpain,net, talk within WWE has Triple H down as a lock to win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 24 against Randy Orton and John Cena.

Orton is considered a dark horse to retain the title, while Cena is unlikely emerge victories because he'll be on hiatus in mid-May filming scenes for his next movie, 12 Rounds.

Upon Cena's return, however, it's expected that he'll begin a program with Triple H that will be the company's top summer feud.
