Wrestlemania 30 will be the 30th annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE to be held, on April 6, 2014, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The event will be the first WrestleMania to be held in the state of Louisiana. This will also be the first WWE pay-per-view to broadcast live on the WWE Network service.
WrestleMania XXX will feature professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that play out on WWE's television programs. Wrestlers portray heroes or villains as they follow a series of events that build tension, and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
On January 26, a returning Batista won the 2014 Royal Rumble match, making him the fifth multiple Rumble winner and earning himself a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match to headline as the main event of WrestleMania XXX. At the Elimination Chamber, Randy Orton successfully defended the championship in the main event to headline WrestleMania.
On February 21, WWE announced that Hulk Hogan had returned to WWE and that he would host the event.
On February 24, a returning Brock Lesnar, along with Paul Heyman, showed up to Raw to voice their complaints about not having Lesnar in the title match at WrestleMania. To appease them, Triple H gave them a contract which allowed Lesnar to challenge anyone to a match at WrestleMania as long as it did not involve Orton or Batista in the title match. Neither Lesnar nor Heyman wanted anything to do with the open challenge and decided to leave as they felt that anyone else would not be a big enough challenge. As if to respond to that statement, The Undertaker returned and stared Lesnar down, signaling him to challenge his undefeated WrestleMania streak. Lesnar signed the contract and pressed the pen against Undertaker's chest for him to sign, Undertaker answered by stabbing the pen into Lesnar's hand and chokeslamming him through the conference table.
Hogan announced that a 30-man battle royal, in honor of the 30th WrestleMania and in memory of André the Giant, will also take place at the event with the winner receiving the Andrè the Giant Memorial Trophy.On March 10 edition of Raw, Ryback, Curtis Axel and Big E announced their participation in the match. Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, and Damien Sandow would later announce their participation in the match on the WWE App.
Since SummerSlam, COO Triple H and The Authority has, in some way, interfered in Daniel Bryan's matches for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. After Elimination Chamber where Bryan lost due to interference by the Director of Operations Kane, Bryan called out Triple H and challenged him to a match only to get repeatedly turned down. On the March 10th edition of Raw, Bryan and his "Yes Movement" (a massive group of fans supporting Bryan), occupied the ring and refused to leave until Triple H accepted the match. A frustrated Triple H would then accept the match but not without accepting another stipulation where if Bryan were to win, he would be added into the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match later that night.
